The Soul behind the Mask We'll Never Forget

Rating: 8/10 (29 January 2020)

"Voila! In view humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the "vox populi" now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone 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, so let me simply add that it's my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V."
I believe after all the years, the stunning lines still ring a bell. Well, this is the movie that I was supposed to finish ten years ago. Quit in the midway and it never occurred to me that I need to finish it, until recently I happened to see the intro of this movie. Anyway, I gotta admit I was awestruck after watching it.
In futuristic Britain, the whole country is under the rule of a tyrannical government that stole the power by heinous crimes. And V was a victim of it. As an anarchist, V has been plotting for nearly a decade, aiming to destroy this ridiculous government and get his revenge done, in that he had been burned too much to show his face to others ever again. But the scheme all comes to be questioned until V meets his destiny-Evey, a plain girl he saved from Fingerman and worked at the Network.
