Setting the frame.
I finally got around to seeing “V is for Vengeance” on a Netflix DVD. It is supposed to be a drama but I found my self smiling at the “frame” repeatedly. The evil Conservative religious dictator had installed censorship, curfews, bullying by law enforcement, constant CCTV and audio surveillance, and host of other abuses….pretty much everything the current NuLabor left trying to do. Even when the graphic novel the movie is based on was first published, there were signs the the left was going to the dark side of the farce.
And yet the “creative” types can’t let go of their frame even as it slices their fingers.
Ah yes, nothing against her, but why in a film about Britain with good British actors did an American Natalie Portman get cast as the British female lead (He asked facetiously)?
