Going back to the actual movie, but staying the heck out of the terrorist conversation...
What struck me during the movie was actually a comparison to something totally different. It reminded me of Kyoto storyline in the Kenshin anime series - with Lord Shishio - who was burned badly in a fire, who was transformed into this monster with super-human strength. Who decided to take down the government who had done this to him.

Someone else who has seen both might disagree with me, but I thought it was interesting to see this story from the other side, and to even try to sympathize with the villian.
I have to say I would have been more comfortable watching this movie 5 years ago, before everything that's actually happened in the real world in the last five years has happened. But maybe comfort isn't the point.
*sigh*

So...what, you're trying to say that lord Shishywhatever was a revolutionary instead of a terrorist?!  You're crazy!  Fire makes people GOOD, not BAD.

No, I think I'm saying that V was a terrorist instead of a revolutionary.  Oh, heck with you, I don't need movies that make me think, what was that preview for the new fast and the furious movie?
