V for Vendetta - always good, now scary

Rewatched V for Vendetta today, as is tradition because it's the 5th of November.

I always loved this film and thought it was an excellent story. But given everything that's happened over the last few years, with the rise of the authoritarian right and especially a deadly virus killing tens of thousands, it hits a lot harder. Feels like the government in the film could have happened last election, or could still on the next one, if the people involved were just a little smarter and more ruthless.

Anyone else feeling this?

Also, the montage/narration/monologue scenes are all incredibly well done.
