Half-right. The author of V For Vendetta is Alan Moore, who meant his work as a true pro-anarchist, anti-any-government tract.

The Wachowskis, who wrote and directed The Matrix, and adapted V to film (against the wishes of Alan Moore), did make their movies from a standard Leftie position.

Moore is unsurprised by Leftist authoritarianism/totalitarianism. The Wachowskis either support it, or are making surprised Pikachu faces.

If you liked the movie V, I think you will enjoy Moore's original comic book more.
