      There was a great movie, that I'm killing myself for not remembering the name of, that does that too. It was about slavery and the KKK. A woman's husband died and their friend had to leave to because he was being targeted by the Klan. The two of them metaphorically showed up in the church at the end.

    As a story that gets frighteningly more relevant as time goes on, I really appreciate this movie. It's not just a blatant sociopolitical message, it's not just gratuitous violence against the government, and it's not even about V. As she says at the end, he's all of us. It's about an idea that people should be free, to do good or bad, to make mistakes, to choose for themselves. That, I think, is one of the most basic concepts humanity can ever rally behind.

      It probably would have worked just as well with him as he is a really good classically trained actor with a very distinct voice.
      I think he pulled out because he hated wearing the mask.

    "Penny for the guy" is a tradition for Bonfire Night in the UK. The Guy is an effigy made of straw and dressed in clothes that is burned on the bonfire (possibly an effigy for Guy Fawkes or for the Pope depending on your politics/tradition). Children would make their own Guy and go around the streets with it asking for money before the bonfire- hence "penny for the Guy"

    So, one interpretation of “V” without sounding overly pretentious - is how “V” was used in the European Theatre of WWII.
    “V” for “victory”, “V.E.” for “Victory in Europe” - virtue and the sign of peace. But imagine, the day he starts, in order to attain peace…he declared WAR.
    “E” - Latin prefix for “out of”.
    E-V…
    The term “underrated” is overused, mostly by those who haven’t been exposed to whatever they deemed “underrated” - like the first time a kid sees something that’s been around for 20 years. That isn’t the case in this instance. THIS movie is hardcore f*cking underrated. The acting is decent, but it’s the writing that shines.
    It’s one of my favs. Great movie, awesome reaction. 🤙🏾

    This movie came out months before I graduated high school. I was 17, and forming my own identity and opinions about things like religion and government. I saw this in theaters and it had a profound affect on me. Even now, watching Natalie's performance during that realization scene, has me super emotional.

    There are some very important changes compared to the novel:
    1. V accuses people much more, blaming them for accepting the world as it is, saying they are truly at fault.
    2. The virus doesn’t exist; instead, it’s simply a Cold War version of England, where fear has taken over.
    3. The Voice of the Party is not killed by V. He is portrayed as homosexual and is connected to some dolls. V dresses these dolls as if they were in the camp where he was held, burning them one by one in a psychological torture. In the end, he remains alive but goes mad.
    4. V's story is explained in much greater detail. Among the explanations is the cause of the fire. V was a model prisoner who helped with various tasks, and as a reward, they allowed him to grow roses thanks to the doctor’s intervention. Among the supplies provided were various fertilizers, which V used to create bombs, blowing everything up.
    5. V does not fall in love with Evey; instead, the story is about how Evey represents creation and V represents destruction. Where there is destruction, creation is needed-this is what anarchy means for V. But he, born from suffering and destruction, cannot live in this new world; a creator is now needed.
    6. Finally, the supreme leader is even more intriguing. He is in love with a computer and hates people. He is killed by a random person on the street the first time he tries to go out.

    An older brother of mine convinced our mother to allow him to take a nine year old me at the time to watch "V For Vendetta" at the theater. He pitched that learning about revolution in the name of liberal values from a movie would be educational. When we arrived at the theater, we saw the trailer for the movie from a television screen behind the ticket counter. It horrified me and I cried about not wanting to watch it. My older brother then took me to the mall instead where he bought me Pokemon merchandise.

    Guy Fawkes is celebrated in the UK still. We have fireworks and bonfires, and more so in the past people used to burn an effigy of Guy Fawkes on the bonfire. ‘Penny for the Guy’ refers to kids asking for money to contribute to this, though the ‘Guy’ was just usually a hay stuffed scarecrow that would burn.

    "... We have guns."
    "No, what you have are bullets, and the hope that when your guns are empty I'm no longer be standing, because if I am you'll all be dead before you've reloaded."
    Those lines, followed by a scene of people who should have worn brown pants realizing he was right. It a masterful use of stylized, slow motion violence to tell a story. Seeing the fear creep into Creedy and the secret police faces was great story telling. They felt powerful and untouchable because they were used to using violence and fear of all types on people who couldn't fight back.
    That fact that V took the mortal wounds and powered through, reinforces the statement that ideas are bulletproof. You can kill people, but not the ideas they believe in and represent.

    The comics were a product of the 1980's, but they're as relevant today as they were back then. Initially, they were in a British serial, eventually being getting published by DC Comics in a collected 10-part series. For a kid of the 80's, they hit like a freight train. Changed my life in many ways. Worried about the movie adaptation, but they did a solid job.
    Serious credit to Hugo Weaving. He made V... human. Just a stellar performance.
