V for Vendetta, O for Occupy
Posted on November 9, 2011 Posted by John Scalzi
In this week’s FilmCritic.com column, I have a bit of a meditation on how the film V for Vendetta (and, yes, the graphic novel from which it was derived) has had an influence on the “Occupy” movement that is going on today, why Guy Fawkes and the “V” story are imperfect metaphors for the real world protest, and how much that imperfectness matters (or doesn’t). Check it out and as always, if you have comments, leave them there.
