The scenes where Evey (Natalie Portman) is imprisoned were somber and sobering...and yet uplifting in the message of overcoming one's innate fear of death.

We see their actions and words frequently mirrored throughout the film, and come the film's conclusion both individuals have arrived in the same place.

The film and the graphic novel are really different, so I see myself commenting on this as a film itself and not in any way to the original source material.

I believe the best part of the film is the story itself though and the ideas that flow through the story.

It's basically a social commentary told in a style that might remind you vaguely of Tim Burton's Batman mixed with X-Men. Ie, the capacity for a dark, rich story based in myth that verges on the superficial and overdone. But, thought provoking, interesting, will instigate discussions and exclamations afterward.
