#5 V for Vendetta by James McTeigue

V for Vendetta is perhaps the strongest and most visionary dystopian film put to screen. It is helped along by strong visuals reminiscent of a Nazi Germany, and a tremendous performance by Natalie Portman as Evey. It is hard to explain why this film speaks so tremendously over others of it's type in previous years, perhaps it is cultural relevance that will pass with time, or it is because there is hope here. Because this film offers a large amount of hope when others feel the need to fight against the idea that we can change the world. In 1984 by George Orwell he mentions that the power is in the proletariat, but doesn't allow that vision to come through, but McTeigue and Moore give humanity more credit.
