Dystopian Trailer Review

V for Vendetta by James McTeigue, Joel Silver, and the Wachowski Beothers

In the year 2020, the United Kingdom is ruled by the fascist and totalitarian "Nosefire" party. The party has instituted concentration camps for the termination of unwanted populace, such as prisoners and homosexuals. Most live in content with this dystopian society but revolutionary and political outlaw, "V" is a vigilante who plans on gradually taking down the British Governement by uniting the masses. 
From beging, the trailer identifies the government as an antagonist and lays down a  quote that captures the spirits of the movies, starting with V's words "People shouldn't be afraid of their government, the government to be afraid of it's people." This is the most identifiable catalyst. The trailer is peculiar in that the catalyst is at the beginning. The trailer is fast paced with flashing images and intense, suspenseful music. While it is hard to get the plt or significance of characters, such as evey, (Natalie Portman) it is easy to understand where the tension lies and significant quotes like the one in the beginning reoccur to help increase understanding.
