EVE: "Who are you?"
V: "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 vanguarding 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"
I consider this film a revolution in the cinemas, only by the fact of its message. Some people will think that this film urges to commit terrorism, or to dissolve governments whenever they please to. But the real thing is that the movie wants to remind us that the power of a country resides on their people. They are the ones who choose their legislating leaders, in fact, the complete government perce. V wants to teach us a lesson that consists of remembering that the ideas never die; and no matter what horrible things you had to deal to maintaining it, never die. That's the problem with governments that once they have the power in their hands, they want that we forget who chose them, just to do things their way, and thus to be able to do richer others, thanks to that business that is the government. The government or State not exist so that they can use it like an average one to make businesses, under contrary, the government exist because their job is to protect and give security to the people of their nation, besides to conserve and maintain the peace and unity. The governments have to give their people freedom in their own country and protect that freedom for that matter, as long as that freedom is subject to right laws (Locke). And also, this protection and security that the government should give to the people is not for some specific people of their nation, but to everyone no matter what color, sexual preference or religious believes. After all, for that reason it is why we pay contributions, so that the government has the resources to do it. Of not doing it, treason is considered converses from the government to its people. The government does not exist so they could create conflicts that don't exist, so they can control the people by using the fear as a tool. That is not ethical at all, is cruel, because is a way of using the people debilities to manipulate them as they were puppets.
We need to remember that your liberty or freedom finish when other ones starts, and is by living in justice what we could make a better world and a better government. "REMEMBER, REMEMBER THE FITH OF November", its mean the rebellion and what Guy Fawkes represents to the people.
To the people that have doubts of if they should see or not the movie, I totally recommended. The movie do not incite you to blow a building or something like that, but instead, touch a lot of themes that could make you think a lot, and at the same time is totally enjoyable because of the ironic humor that the character of V (by Hugo Weaving)has. If you think that Hugo Weaving couldn't pull this off, you are wrong, because he manage to give life a character that has not expression but a mask. V really can make you be interest in what he's saying, doing, etc... The movie over pass my expectations and I promise you that it would do the same thing on you. Att. Ivonne (Puerto Rico)
