I really thought they should have given the reason for the authoritarian Gov't more attention. V points to the public as the cause of the problem, asking them to wake up and do something about it. Evey flashbacks to scenes of her parents trying to do something about the way society is heading. The missing actor - the complacent / reactionary public at large - is alluded to but not shown. This irritated me - it sticks out, as the rest of the movie is not given to such subtleties. Contrast it with the (very detailed, very sappy) reading of the note in Evey's cell.
That said, i did enjoy the movie. :)
