alessioIRIDE

But what could the enigmatic alessioIRIDE have meant in his utterly terrible review? Perhaps that there are always common points among these kinds of fanta-stories (let's not repeat the word dystopian which makes hugoinot explode at the sound of this bizarre term)? Then why is good hugoniot clogging up the poor mailbox and making the incomprehensible alessioIRIDE visibly suffer with his literary avant-garde?

"If you read what you want in the messages, the issue is another... I would like to know where I pulled this lack of historical reliability from...?? Maybe I'm schizophrenic?? I mentioned the themes that it refers to, which are the same as a thousand other films and works... the same, identical." But did you read the review? Not because in the review there is this sentence: "All dystopian productions end up looking alike, and V for Vendetta has several references, but that’s not the important thing. The film, based on a comic and adapted for the screen by the Wachowski Brothers, unlike the majority of dystopian novels that have a starting point far from reality (the obsessive cameras of Big Brother, the burning books of Bradbury), starts from our days, from death that freezes souls, from the death of innocents always good for justifying political choices."

I have the annoying habit of only talking about what I know... I've read 1984, as well as Animal Farm. I don't particularly like Orwell, but I read him out of obligation for unpleasant reasons, and I don't think I need to provide a resume before talking to you. It seems obvious to me that the problem isn't me. It's you who doesn't know what dystopian means and still can't bury your head in the sand out of shame. Come on, enough, let's not take ourselves so seriously; let's avoid disgraceful figures. I'm tired of this game of who can aim higher or who can spit further (a game that's all too debaserian and infests the pages of illuminated discussions). A little of what you think doesn't bother me, doesn't touch me, doesn't ignite me. The film is enjoyable to me, nothing more. Have you said your piece? Good, that's enough. You’ve said something as absurd as Rocco Siffredi... get over it. And with that, let’s hope we don’t meet again.

Here it is... after supersoul's comment, I searched for a comic for the first time in my life as I find the underlying goodism that exists beneath the film its weak point... thank you.

hugoniont... look dear, I really don’t feel like confronting you, so with this I’ll close the matter. It has nothing in common with 300 except for the fact that it’s based on a comic book, and I couldn't care less because I’m not interested in comic books. The dystopian genre (I’ll repeat it once more because you still don't understand) takes a cue from history and develops a world different from the one that actually exists, as it is an upside-down utopia. How can a utopia—and therefore a dystopia (I’ll repeat it again just to be sure)—something based on a messianic message, on the future, on what isn’t there yet, have a precise historical identity? I don’t want to indicate what my sense of the film is because I’m convinced everyone finds their own meaning in it, but there’s nothing historical about it, and even less descriptive. A critique of History, faithful to History, becomes satire, and I don’t feel like I’m facing a satirical film here. That said, there’s no need to ignite your fiery spirits. I certainly am not Portman and neither MacTeigue, so you can say as much as you like that the film sucks, and I’ll just shrug it off. But if you tell me that the film sucks for being historically unreliable, then you need to have a few screws tightened.

Well, Hugoniot, I’ll say what I think... comparing this damn movie, for which I’m not losing any sleep, to that crazy piece of crap 300 just because it’s based on a comic book is a ridiculous nonsense. The fake historical references, Hetzer (or whatever his name is) said, and you’re quoting him like crazy... make me understand these historical references, and also explain to me how a work, maybe a crappy one, dystopian can have precise historical references. Go on, explain it to me if it’s even possible.

I didn't understand a damn thing, and rather than saying hetzer, you took the words right out of my mouth. Try to answer my questions... argue!

well... an interpreter is needed

listen to Perfect From Now On by Built to Spill... I've been listening to it for a couple of weeks and I'm definitely into it.

The story, in dystopian works, is just an input, a pretext, to discuss how things could evolve in an unpleasant way. I don’t understand what the story has to do with this film; I also don’t see where the reference to real life is. How do you consider the historical inconsistencies of 1984? And those of Animal Farm? And what does 300 have to do with it? They are two very different things: 300 exploits a history and is not dystopian at all, as it is set in the past in a, for you, epic climate. V projects into the future, and by projecting you into the future, the story becomes just a starting point; the rest is science fiction.
