In a bizarre case of life imitating art, a photo-shopped picture of Turkish President Erdogan in drag with a background of gay symbols (eeriely similar to Chancellor Sutler's "God Save the Queen" painting in Deitrich's secret room in the movie) was banned in Turkey in early 2017, with several people being detained, fined, and even arrested for sharing the picture online. More recently, in April 2017, Erdogan won an extremely controversial popular referendum, which granted him what many critics described as "dictatorial" powers, much like the ones Chancellor Sutler has in this film.

I saw this movie yes today here in Denmark, and i didn't know what to expect, because i haven't heard of the V or read the Comics from publisher DC comics. But was i in for a BIG treat, this movie is so superbly acted by all the actors, especially Natalie Portman performed according to me to an Oscar nomination next year. The movie is perfectly put together, so if you haven't read the comics you will be on the edge of you seat the whole movie. Its really that good folks. And lastly, the visual effects is fantastic, and the action scenes is nothing but spectacular. Watch this movie :-).
