I just re-watched v for vendetta cause it's the 5th of November. I haven't watched it in a decade. I remembered it as a good movie. I was wrong. It reminded me that the woke propaganda started way earlier than the 2010s. The idiocy was already there in the mid 2000's.
In this 2006 movie, there's a homo honoring the Quran (more or less). The villains are conservative Christians who are against immigration. There's a big emphasis on the victimization of gays. The only female villain is excused for her crime and given an honorable death. Honestly, the only thing missing would be more POC and then this could easily pass up as a modern movie. It was made by the Wachowski after all so it was to be expected. Surprise! Both turned into trannies like the bots that they are (one as early as 2008).
Ironically, the plot revolved around a government that used the release of a man-made virus to take over the country and restrict freedom. They control the police, the media, etc. Basically modern day bs but with the roles of oppressors/oppressed reversed.
The average Millennial and Gen Xer has been slowly brainwashed by narratives like this for years so it's no wonder now that when they came into power, they attacked who they've been told is the enemy. They turned themselves into the mindless villains along the way because the message of V is not to bring justice and restore order but to punish and virtue signal in the hope that someone else will fix it. Blow up the parliament, sure, but what do you do after is what's supposed to be important. Don't persecute the lgbtq and let them speak sure...but what if what they had to say wasn't worth hearing. What if in fact it was detrimental to the rest of the nation. What if it was so loud that what anyone else said wasn't heard anymore..so loud that it buried reason itself. Here we are.
Not to be that guy (but totally to be that guy) I just want to point out that "made by the Wachowskis" in this case is not "made by the Wachowskis." They wrote and produced, but didn't direct. The director was someone who doesn't really matter. In fact that was his first movie. It's only a sticking point to me because a LOT of people think the Wachowski's directed it, and I can't blame them because the marketing heavily emphasized their involvement. And yes, this certainly has its annoying wokeness (no mention of how the lesbian diary is treated as the epitome of romance?). It is funny how the impetus for the villains' power grab was an outbreak (I don't recall if it's implied to have been a false flag). While I'm sure plenty of liberals will lap this movie up, that especially prescient point will go unnoticed.
V for vendetta is a comic book by Alan Moore
That inspired a movie adaptation that altered most of the plot and changed most characters.
It's not really the same for every film. Sometimes the directors are given wide berth to do whatever they want. In others, the producers keep them on a short leash.
Push it too far and suddenly your film is directed by Alan Smithee, but that depends on the temperament of those involved.
