# I'm more disturbed that you've 'seen V for Vendetta'
but possibly haven't read the book. The film's a shallow bastardisation, which turns a deeply ambiguous story about anarchism into some kind of happy-clappy neocon fantasy about painless regime change.

Oh, and Orwell's book is an arguably inferior rip-off of Zamayatin's 'We'.

I don't think that We matches up to Nineteen Eighty-Four. Mind you, it's about 5 years since I read the former, and about 17 since I read the latter, so I could be mistaken...
