Must Watch for Everyone (NO EXCUSES)!

Rating: 10/10 (25 February 2017)

V for Vendetta is the story of one man's vision versed in a vitriol of violence, his values shaped by the vestiges of a vanishing British Populi. His violence a response to voracious violations on his fellow British people.
The film begins in London as this revolutionary man wearing a Guy Fawkes mask disrupts local radio chatter with a velvet tongue:
"Good evening, London. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of the everyday routine, the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke."
Both a victim and fearless villain, he no longer can watch British people suffer at the expense of a venal government and failing free press:
"..while the truncheon may be used instead of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there."
He vows to stand vivified with his fellow people as one. A front filled with vengeance, eager for victory from government void of value.
But it is what this hero says next that is arguably the most telling of the entire film:
"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."
To avoid watching such a marvelous movie would be the most vindictive thing you could do to yourself. I live vicariously through V for Vendetta every.single.day..
Originally a British graphic novel produced by DC Comics, adapted on screen by Warner Bros. ;)
