Remember, remember…
I was watching the trailer for V for Vendetta and I noticed some of the flags look kinda odd: a fascist version, I suppose, of the English flag with white replaced with black.
I started looking around flag sites to find something similar (I’m a bit of a vexo-geek). The closest I found was the flag of Durham City, using this excellent flag search engine (Currently down: MeFi effect).
In my searches, though, I came across a review of the movie from a conservative blogger, who criticized the movie for demonizing conservatives.
At first, I thought he was being paranoid, but now I see Alan Moore, author of the graphic novel the movie is based on, thinks the film makers missed the mark, too.
He sees the two political extremes being fascism and anarchism, and his book was about the clash of those extremes in a future/alternate Britain.
“This was one of the things I objected to in the recent film, where it seems to be, from the script that I read, sort of recasting it as current American neo-conservatism vs. current American liberalism. There wasn’t a mention of anarchy as far as I could see,” said Moore.
