You would actually have a good argument had it come out this summer just before the election.

V For Vendetta Propaganda

I don't think so. As I understand it, the movie was actually an adaptation of a comic books series inspired by Maggie Thatcher's electoral victory in Great Britain. But overall, it has a message against totalitarianism and public manipulation, that everyone can agree with. I interpreted the movie as anti-authoritarianism more than pro-liberal. I think both conservatives and liberals agree that extreme authoritarianism is bad.
Yes, the movie does have little points that would seem to be anti-conservative (i.e. the talk show host character owns a poster equating the Coalition of the Willing to Nazis), but I think that just makes the movie relevant to current events.

i think its more of a wake-up call for governments, just like 1984 by George Orwell, but Im pretty sure that some country is going to use the government in V for Vendetta as their model and follow their rules. Just like how the american gov't is pretty parallel to the gov't described in 1984!

Its a movie about a peoples that have lost a good deal of their rights in the name of security. It's a wake up call for all of us. Its not propaganda, its a glimpse of things to come unless we start to take charge of our lives and government. Look at what is happening to day? Look at the Patriot Act? Look at the Wire Tapping? Look at abuse of prisoners? Look at all the cameras everywhere? I ask you, is that propaganda? This is only what we know of. We have been pushed back to the Hoover Era. The worst part is that all the rights we are giving up aren't making us any safer, just more controllable for the powers to be. Think about it.

not liberal propaganda. If anything it was anarchist propaganda. Linerals want more government control, conservatives want to leave everything alone and just let what happens happen. So it's more conservative propaganda because of how controlling the government was... It was definitely anti Hitler (always a good choice)

it's a movie that was written about the power of government and the ability of the people to act against the government....
it was written as a graphic novel in the 1980s... it's insane how much it applies today...
that just goes to show how cleche the entire Bush presidency really is... they would call it liberal propaganda... even though it was written 20 years ago, when no one even had a thought about what would be going on now...
