In a previous blog I mentioned films that are intended to bring your attention to what is being taken from you. I mentioned Network, but there are countless others. More often than not, you are too busy being entertained to ask yourself what the meaning of a film is, or why the makers of a film chose to release it when they did. You avidly and with enthusiasm watch a film again and again and never are you jolted awake by what has been given to you. Perhaps, you avoid watching the news or documentary films because reality just doesn't appeal to you, but most (good) films are attempting to challenge you as well.
Here's a clip from the film V for Vendetta. I feel that this scene sums up the overall tone of the film.
