Thread: V for Vendetta

I never watched it but I remember wanting to watch it. I'll probably rent it. It seems pretty good from what I'm hearing.

Besides that I liked the effects and the explossions. On a way sometimes I felt like I was watching "The Phantom Of The Opera" at a political level...

That and there was not singing in most of the movie. The explosions were awsome and amazing. I loved the part where he fought and said he could kill all of them before they could kill him. That was my 2nd most favorite part.

Remember Remember the 5th of November...I'm never gonna forget that now. -.-

Sadly I've forgotten most of the movie's details but I can deffinitly remember that it was a surely amazing when it came to a plot. I actually was starting to think that this was history for real...if it hadn't been the future.

...It was kind of cool after I left the theater and learnt Vendetta ment revenge...and I was like....wooooow. Didn't know that. I swear I learn more outside school than in...

Does anyone else celebrate Guy Fawkes Day? I do. Every fifth of November.

Why on earth would you do that?

"This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."

V's style is one of my favorite aspects of him. His goofy persona and his batcave-like lair. V for Vendetta really reminds me of Batman movies whenever I watch it, sort of this interesting facade that every character gets pulled into. Even though it was based off a "graphic novel," I think the movie felt for George Orwellish when I first saw it. Very 1984, it was fun to parallel that book and this movie.

It celebrates for some the failure of the Gunpowder Plot, in which a group of Catholic conspirators, led by one Robert Catesby, and including Guy Fawkes, attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament in Westminster on the evening of 5 November 1605, when the Protestant King James I (James VI of Scotland) was within its walls. The conspirators were executed.

For me, it is a reminder that a small group of people can accomplish (or attempt to accomplish) great changes in the world. I may be one person, but that does not prevent me from realizing that the government has only as much power as the commoners wish to give it.

And the fireworks are amazing.
