"V for Vendetta", you will commit a sin!
By Julia Assine January 19, 2014
Directed by James McTeigue and written by the Wachowski Brothers, which directed "The Matrix", "V for Vendetta" is an adaptation from Alan Moore and David Lloyd's comic book of the same title.
The main figure is "V", a masked man, unidentified, which wants to revenge the totalitarian government of England and puts this desire on practice using bombs, music, fireworks and his ingenuity. What Chancellor Sutler (John Hurt) sees as a catastrophe, "V" (Hugo Weaving) sees as a show.
"V" meets Evey (Natalie Portman) when he saves her from a rape. After that, he shows her the Old Bailey blowing up and explain the reasons for create that big explosion. During the film, Evey will be his ally.
The symbol "V" is not only the first letter of "Vendetta", but also the roman numeral "5". The actions taken by the masked "terrorist" makes reference to the Gunpowder Plot of November 5th, 1605. The mask is one reference, in honor of Guy Fawkes, member of the attempt. Another reference is the day that "V" chooses to blows up the English Parliament, on November 5th, 2020, and how he does it, with gunpowder.
Not so visible for every public, an allusion to the administration of some governing, like Bush, for example, was introduced in "V for Vendetta".The government lies through the media, lies the "terrorist" death, when TV shows a government office dead that was forced by "V" to wear the mask. They (governing) are producing their (false) competence.
Of course this manipulation is a picture of our real life that has to be realized by many citizens yet. It's not a fiction; it's a representation of what we are witnessing in the world.
Starry by Natalie Portman, Stephen Rea, Hugo Weaving, Rupert Graves, Stephen Fry; released in 2005, V is an amazing and exciting movie, as the plot involves the viewer easily. Those who watched committed a sin: rooting for the "terrorist".
