Man would be a great VA given how well he and the audio crew matched his speech to the existing footage cues. Didn't really sound like ADR at any point, so either he delivered lines with something on his face to give the quality of talking behind a mask, or the audio crew really did well making it sound like he actually was.

    V only kills the doctor painlessly. This is very much on purpose. V had been planning his revenge for a long time. He was watching his targets that whole time and he saw that she was the only one who had any remorse whatsoever for her part in that death camp program. She is the only me who didn’t trade her participation to raise her status in this horrible society by keeping her quiet. She changed her name and went into obscurity and arguably into some sort of meaningful public service. He probably knew she was miserable snd depressed. She probably had sleepless nights and alcohol problems all observed by him.
    Her death and their exchange about apologizing never being meaningless is one of my favorite scenes in the movie at it’s because of all these layers to script and the actors performances.

      You make an excellent point! The other targets ended up becoming high profile figures or at least, continuing to serve the corrupt government. Meanwhile the doctor changed her name, and let herself fade into the background. She could've furthered her career in pharma or immunology or smth, but instead she's a coroner working with the police. Good job pointing that out!

    According to Stephen Frye, the reason he agreed to do this film was because, and I quote, "I hadn't been beaten up in a movie before and I was very excited by the idea of being clubbed to death." Which to me is one of the more spectacular reasons for doing a film I've ever heard.

    "People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people."
    It's one of the best quotes ever because it applies to any country. People have more power if they really tried to do what is needed to be done.
    Also, Fun Fact: John Hurt, the Chancellor, was Winston, the protagonist of the movie "1984", which makes the casting even more perfect.

      Interestingly, V's opening speech, which has already been "translated" by others, basically gives a summary of his motives and what he intends to do:
      V: Behold! At a quick glance, I’m just an old retired entertainer in a mask who indirectly ended up as both a victim and a villain by an unwelcomed change of fate. This mask is not just a pleasant looking cover to hide that which lies beneath, it is the last remaining trace of the voice of the people, which has disappeared and now no longer exists. However, this courageous arrival of a past irritation stands reborn and inspired and has sworn to conquer and crush these bribe-taking, corrupted, poisonous vermin who are at the forefront of promoting evil and greed, by allowing the use violence to remove the free will of the people.
      [carves V onto propaganda poster]
      The only solution to this problem is retaliation. A personal revenge that I have vowed to carry through with, which can I add is not for my own fulfilment, because the meaningfulness and truthfulness of my actions will one day become clear to the watchful and honest people.
      [giggles]
      Admittedly, this concoction of complicated words has now become a bit excessive and long-winded, so let me simply finish by saying that I am honoured to meet you, and you may call me V.

    It's based on a comic from the 80's... the reason that the police were called "Fingermen" is because the different sections of Government were named for different body parts based on what their role is. They are the fingers of the government so to speak, the head of the news is the head of the Mouth. Creedy is head of the finger. The film had to condense alot of it but the names still carried over to some extent. Great reaction as per usual Ash :) also for additional trivia the actor who played V was Hugo Weaving, he played Agent Smith in the Matrix and Elrond in Lord of the Rings too, he's brilliant. If you ever fancy a change of pace there's a comedy he was in called Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. It's a comedy about some Australian drag artists that's pretty damn good 👍

What he did, by civilized standards is barbaric, but given the world they lived in, it becomes very grey. If anything, he wanted to see if Valeries words could have the same effect on others.

    V was a normal human being who was arrested when the Fascist Norsefire party came into power. When he was in the Larkhill concentration camp, they performed experiments on him (and others), injecting him with various drugs. As an unintended result of this, V has enhanced physiology via mutation, giving him Superhuman Strength, Enhanced Reflexes, Enhanced Intellect, Superhuman Stamina, Superhuman Durability, Superhuman Agility, and Superhuman Speed.
    Not quite a Superhero, more of a viglante, similar to Batman. But he is a part of the DC Comic Book Universe.

His name is John Hurt he was also in Harry Potter as Olivander, in Alien he was the guy that had the Chest burster. This is one of those movies that should be thought of as a cautionary tale and the fact this came out in 2005 is even more freaky today.

    Makes a strong argument for the 2nd Amendment popular in the US. Especially if you look at failed governments in S. America that became brutal dictatorships very along the lines of
    V for Vendetta. I actually lived in Poland during the fall of the Berlin Wall. It was like the beginning of the film. At times there were curfews especially after a uprising/protest. We know what happened the success of the Berlin Wall fall, but at the time we assumed all foreigners would be rounded up and blamed for the incident by the communists. We stayed for days inside. Later I met a Chinese friend of mine that lived the other side of the Berlin Wall in China. Tiananmen Square resulted with the government not collapsing but running over the students with tanks. My friend was literally there 2 days before the atrocity that was covered up by the CCP for years. Now the CCP took over and destroyed the Hong Kong pseudo-democracy after the handover. Free press, freedom of speech and gun ownership really does help prevent a dictorship or at least slow it down.

    There are many who have argued that this film was in a way form of predictive programming fed to the masses as way a to prepare most ordinary civilians for what our actually governments had instore for us all, especially when you consider Ash's statement which in effect compared V for Vendetta to being on par with a documentary when compared to our present and everything that has transpired in the past 4 years; and to think this film had been released 15 years before the pandemic. It was definitely enjoyable to observe Ash and Hannah's epiphany moments when reacting to this film and I doubt their the only ones who have had such an experience because I know I certainly did. 😳 Plus it looks like Hannah caught on a little quicker to the underlying theme of this film which would explain why she looks so much more distressed than Ash at 28:18-28:55

    The screen play was written by the Wachowskis, but they didn't predict the future. They were symbolizing the erosion of constitutional rights and the creation of a surveillance police state after 9/11. The original comic was written in the 1980s and the author was borrowing themes about fascism and anarchy from from George Orwell and Aldous Huxley who published their most famous works in the 1930 and 40s. This isn't a prediction so much as a case of history repeating itself.
