Liberty yes. But you can't say you're fearing a government like that from the commics now? Are you?

It's possible to put a fascist government into power by democratic means. The idea of giving up liberty for your protection appears attractive when fear is capitalized upon.

Moore remarked that his comic had been "turned into a Bush-era parable by people too timid to set a political satire in their own country". I watched the interviews with the filmakers on the DVD. Of course, they all said their changes to the story were improvements, and they never once mentioned Alan Moore who has removed his name from the film and severed ties with DC Comics. I've tried to watch the movie on DVD several times, but I loose interest at the start of the final act because I know that silly ending with the masks is coming. The end should have looked like the massacre on the steps at Odessa in the movie Potemkin (1925).


The Descent (2005) is a well done adventure/horror released last year in Britian, but delayed until now in the USA so that The Cave could have it's theatrical run. The USA distributor, Lion's Gate, also prevailed in its attempt to alter the ending to cater to USA audience sensibilities by cutting off that last minute of the film which leaves the viewer with a completely different impression. I feel the original ending is much better.
