V for Vendetta [View all]

Since the Jimmy Kimmel's show was suspended last week I was reminded of scenes from the 'V for Vendetta' movie that display some parallels to current events. I just finished watching and there are many parallels to today's U.S. political environment. The 'T' icon used by the regime in the movie is an interesting coincidence. The strongman High Chancellor turning out to be a sniveling coward is another.

Next movie to watch? '1984'. Trump's picture banners hanging from government buildings remind me of the images of Big Brother.
