I love the fact that Evey didn't remove V's mask when he died even she's so curious about him. She respected his rule and V's true identity will remain a mystery. It's a great movie. 👍
because underneath that mask wasn't a man, it was an idea, and by fulfilling his promise to the people of london, he has transcend his earthly body and become an immortal idea.

@@indie_princess it’s because people think the government is the most powerful entity when in fact it’s the oligarchic billionaire class that have all the power and they are doing what governments officially can’t do.

No Micheal Bay action movie explosion can ever compare to this, because there is so much power instilled in it. Not just in the awesome way it looks and syncs to the music, but also what it means to the rest of the story. This building represented everything V stood against, and it was all finally coming down
In the graphic novel the Houses of Parliament get blown up on the second page of episode one. The whole story is really about how he brings the rest down, ending with Downing Street.
Probably the most powerful ending to any movie I've seen. When you see the characters that have died, it brings a lump to my throat. V went through all the trouble to avenge them. The lesbian couple brings it home. They were just living life and hatred killed them.
You know what’s a shame? If this movie was made today, it would be called out for being “woke” and “pandering” bc of the lesbians couple. I get a lot of movies today are shoving wokeness down your throat and do a bunch of pandering, but you couldn’t do it today without people winging, even though it’s crazy well done.
@@cbrreezzyy69 Don't think so. This movie uses a great story and set of characters as vehicle for a moral message. Modern movies are like moral sledgehammers with a whiff of character and a cobbled together story. We don't hate the message, we hate how it is delivered to us.

@James Brennan I did not say I supported or even liked Trump. I just said his next term will be biblical. All this drama with election fraud, insane leftist agenda being implemented under Biden and his obvious lack of ability to lead a nation, is designed to make the American people demand Trump's return and even spark a armed conflict. He is a Zionist tool just like every other politician in the west. The plan will work because the psychology behind this has been studied for decades. There are however a growing number of people who see right trough these Zionist strategies and tactics, and we are going to totally change this whole world. Armageddon is coming, you are witnessing the beginning of WW3. All of the news media is fake and we've known it for years. Before Trump and Covid it was normal to distrust the media and politicians, it was a bipartisan thing. Yet now you are branded a conspiracy theorist if you distrust the media or our elected leaders and their appointed "experts". What changed? Nothing but the narrative! .
@James Brennan You did a great impression of a Trump hater, but seriously, you must look at those standing behind the man because his plan/strategy is not hatched by him, but by much more intelligent people. He was chosen to play the part because he has charisma. He is on the same team as Biden.
I love how we see all the people who've died in the crowd. All the people who died from persecution and hatred, all have been avenged by Vs sacrifce. One of my favourite ever films.
This film needs to be shown to all politicians as a way of saying: "We put you in this office, and we can take you out as well by any means necessary, should you ever dare abuse your power against us." POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
Fits with the historical relevance of the song, being conducted at the battle where Russia (underdog) turned tide of war against france (total authority/power over continental Europe)
My first instinct was to be flippant, but then I remembered the generation that we are living with and understand they'd never know unless you told them.
Truly underrated masterpiece. I was particularly gratified when they avoided the standard trope of her removing the mask and still loving his disfigured, burned, eyeless face. Fantastic performances all around with Mr. Rea's on par with his Citizen X masterpiece.
And yet, 11 years ago, and people (M)asses have learned NOTHING, and in fact most have capitulated to the tyranny and accepted it as the norm. Proudly, I am NOT in this group of sheeple
Such a powerful movie, I still get chills watching this. We're all in there somewhere, and it was all our fault because we let it happen. Stand up for what you believe in or be prepared to lose it.

V for Vendetta is a Great Movie! And the Police officer "Knew" that the corruption Needed to End! So that People could live free from the crooked government.
It has got to be the most thought-provoking movie ending I've ever seen, and it has transpired a single word of a message: "hope". And also when Evey have the chance to unmask V, she chose not to, because she knows that V's identity is more than just a human being in an oppressed world, it is an idea of freedom. The idea that would never dies. Also, in the scene where the citizens started to unmask themselves, there are also a couple of characters who died before that like Gordon, Valerie, Ruth and the girl with glass, appear in the crowd. Which symbolized theie ideas of hope and freedom lives on.
Just ask the people living in the congo if the idea of freedom will never die. Reality is, a dictator only needs to be able to motivate about 10% of the population to follow him to guarantee absolute power. The invention of the machine gun greatly marginalizes the value of *numbers* As technology advances, *the people* matter less, not more. I mean, Biden actually said that he wasn't worried about the people rising up against the government because the government has nukes and fighter jets and the people don't. That really sums it up, doesn't it?
Hope is the true flame from which we all bear in our souls. It can destroy us or be our only salvation but through love and god/Allah whom ever or whatever helps steer your moral compass, never let that go. And always find truth.
You misunderstand. V was not a leader, he hated leaders. He was an anarchist who dreamed of insurrection and helped to bring it about yes, but he was no leader
You know the music in the background, the 1812 Overture, was written to commemorate Russia's successful defence against the invading armies of Napoleon. Pretty freakin' ironic in 2022...
no one will ever forget that night and what it meant for this country -And I will never forget the man. And what he meant to me. Most powerful ending sentence I’ve heard give me chills
No matter how many times I see this movie, the ending sends chills down my spine and I cry. Powerful scene with many lessons about our power as a people vs, the government.
I watch this movie every year on November 5th. It speaks volumes about the world today. 1:27 , 1:46 , 2:18 , and 2:35 I love how the explosions go perfectly with the music.
This is such a spectacular & emotive scene for any Brit to watch. I know she got a lot of stick for this performance at the time, but I think Natalie Portman's performance was beautiful in this film!
I know we’re supposed to be sad for V, who died moments before, but I can’t help but smile and raise my fist in the air when the fireworks start and Parliament blows up while the 1812 Overture plays triumphantly in the background.

It actually makes sense why Anonymous took this movie as reference, the narrative as some sort of analogy taking in mind the power of a 'user' in a modern society working perhaps alone or with others to archive something with resources which ain't privative but still controlled
What does that look like to you? How do you see it playing out? As an Anarchist myself, I'm curious how people think this will happen and the result. Its not what you think. It will be horrific. Don't wish for things you aren't prepared for. The free market, trading, free society, no rules. It's cute to think about, but the reality of it is most people will die. Most people can't fend for themselves. They will steal to get what they need. You will have to kill to keep what you have. Butterflies and rainbows, until shit hits the fan on high power and your caught in the middle of an actual power shift coming from all sides.
@@laurensullivan1522 Not if the brave fight for the weak. Not if we are righteous. If you are an anarchist, you should eat, breath, and drink natural law. If we live by natural law, there is nothing to fear. What you are saying is what you have been programmed to believe. Its fear conditioning.
My headcanon is that since they never removed V's mask they're not 100% sure that he's dead. Therefore he may still be barely alive and conscious while on the subway train of explosives. While aware that he is about to die he can at least do so with the satisfaction that his plans will certainly succeed and he will leave this mortal coil completing what Guy Fawkes set in motion so many years before.
I love how when Evey says, "He was Edmond Dantes," Finch just kind of looks at her like, "Oh, honey...you really are crazy." (I know that's probably not what that look meant, but it certainly could be interpreted that way!)
I don’t know if this was intentional but I find it slightly amusing how V dawns a Guy Fawks mask when Guy Fawks himself was a famous revolutionary who died before being able to strike a match stick
Wait...what?!? You don't know if it was intentional?!? I suppose you probably don't know why they specifically chose Guy Fawkes Day, I mean, the 5th of November, to blow up parliament either?!? I mean, I don't know how they could have possibly made the Guy Fawkes connection any more obvious, and intentional at every level, but sure. Well done for spotting it then, I suppose. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Philosopher Slavoj Zizek once made a joke that he was ready to sell his own mother into slavery for a sequel to this film. This is because many people flirt with the idea of popular revolution, but the more difficult conversation is how to re-structure society once this revolution has taken place. Unless you have a vision of what form this new society will take, you risk it falling to the same fate as the one which came before it.
One detail that I feel like a lot of people miss, is that at the end when taking their masks off, you can see a bunch of people who have already died, which I feel like very beautifully symbolises how even in death each of them played an important part and represented a piece of the puzzle to make the revolution happen, to make the change.
It feels like this is what we need in America. We are leading to a totalitarian government. So many people have predicted this moment and I feel like it’s going to happen with the Statue Of Liberty. Quote me 01/05/23.
Anyone else read the Count of Monte Cristo and come here just for that one line, "He was Edmund Dantes". Art gives us permission to live a certain way by showing us what it looks like to live that. It puts words to our passions, confirms our desires, and shows us how to go about getting what we want. Gives me chills that line.
That line actually inspired me to reread it. I'd read an abridged version back in middle school. I bought an unabridged version off Barnes & Noble in all its 1000+ pages of glory. The parallels between the characters are clearly evident. The messages are quite different though.
Strange how 15 years later the clips from this movie have been showing up in my feed an awful lot. Is the algorithm trying to tell me something about the world 🤔
The Ayrton light (the green light that is lit when Parliament is in session) was lit up in this scene, meaning that parliament was talking before the palace went booming, which means they killed off a lot of people, bravo to V
Now more than ever, people need to realise the truth of these current events. I feel that there are to many people still asleep to what is going on, really going on right now.
Predicting the future is a tricky thing. For example, if you are correct, what will be the defining moment? Will it be when the public accepts the masks? or when the masks are finally removed? Perhaps when the populist firebrand 'blows up' the establishment and all the masks come off? Complicated Business 😎
It’s always bugged me that those people are standing way too close to parliament and Big Ben, they would have gotten blown up or crushed by falling debris…
Isn't that the point of this scene though? That V is supposed to be everybody? We don't need a V figure; we need to recognize that we ARE V, if can just find the courage.
@@sofiu-v3p as long as politicians hold diplomatic immunity IN THEIR OWN COUNTRIES you can complain to the goverment officials all you want. They decide what is and isnt just.
Not one moment of the finale is anything but perfection. I remember when it was brand new, and some people mistook the dead characters showing up in the crowd as a goof. I can understand it might be too subtle for some, but c'mon. The symbolism of their appearances is just sublime. The victims are being honored. Their memories will remain. Their suffering won't be in vain, for they helped in their own way and will stand in time as examples. It's specially good, to put those last four people in the end: Dietrich, the little girl that was shot for painting a wall and sparked the riots. And last of all, Valerie and her girlfriend. I'm sure Valerie's letter was the primary inspiration, for V to go beyond personal revenge. To enact justice for everyone. To BECOME everyone.
Anonymous is nothing like what "V" was doing at all, they are just hackers.. That when everyone did take a stand and march across the nation what difrence did it make? NONE at all if you ask me, everything is still the same everywere you go, there are no heros all there is ,is ,work, go home, have bills, be too busy with other things in life were you cant and wont be able too stand up, all the weapons gagdets that the goverment has had for decades but barley finally showing them off to scare people also filling the jails..

"He was all of us"
"who was he?", "He was a silent guardian, a watchful protector, a dark knight.”
No matter how many times I see this movie, the ending sends chills down my spine and I cry. Powerful scene with many lessons about our power as a people vs, the government.
Ideas may be bulletproof, but they die when no one is allowed to know they exist. Thanks, social media.
Still one of the greatest endings ever written and put to screen.
"They will remember him for what he did for the country. I remember the man and what he meant to me." man that made me teared.
I watch this movie every year on November 5th. It speaks volumes about the world today. 1:27 , 1:46 , 2:18 , and 2:35 I love how the explosions go perfectly with the music.
This is such a powerful scene but I’ll never not laugh at the pure bass coming from the explosions.
How I wish this was a real documentary filmed in 2021.
i honestly think this is one of the most epic endings to a movie ever. love love love it. brings me to tears.
This is such a spectacular & emotive scene for any Brit to watch. I know she got a lot of stick for this performance at the time, but I think Natalie Portman's performance was beautiful in this film!
I know we’re supposed to be sad for V, who died moments before, but I can’t help but smile and raise my fist in the air when the fireworks start and Parliament blows up while the 1812 Overture plays triumphantly in the background.
@@theaviationchannel122 This was supposed to be a satisfying scene.
@@theaviationchannel122 Yeah.
@@theaviationchannel122 to hate your own country & to hate your own countries Politicians, is actually pretty different.
For two years now, no fireworks anymore. Forbidden in the failed state of germany. Shame on this rotten population. No freedom for our people.
I still cry
Still one of the best movie endings ever, I get goosebumps and tears in my eyes every time.
One of the best movie endings in the history of film making. I feel so privileged to have seen this in theaters.
I almost cry when I see the scene. Such a powerful scene. Ideas never die.
Fun fact: this movie never made it to China.
And we all know why.
This is from the news media in China. I would translate for you, but I'll just let google take care of that. FYI, you can use translate.google.com to translate the entire webpage.

🤔 they need to replace john hurt with Winnie the Pooh.
Lie. I watched this one on China Central Television Channel.
@@xiajiayu3443 True, but it was actually banned in China, which is funny considering it can be applied to China more than any other country in modern history.
I can't stop watching this, reminds me so much of what we have faced for the last 5 or so years. Inspiring.
That's how u end a terrific movie, one of my favorite endings to a movie. Great acting by Natalie, love her a lot, just an excellent actress. One of the best out there.
the greatest scence in all of movie history, nothing can ever come close to achieving movie history like this
It actually makes sense why Anonymous took this movie as reference, the narrative as some sort of analogy taking in mind the power of a 'user' in a modern society working perhaps alone or with others to archive something with resources which ain't privative but still controlled
Michael bay looks on in jealousy.
LOL! Ain't that a fact! 😀
This movie has never be so relevant as it is today. This is what the people are being pushed to and I can't wait to see it 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
What does that look like to you? How do you see it playing out? As an Anarchist myself, I'm curious how people think this will happen and the result. Its not what you think. It will be horrific. Don't wish for things you aren't prepared for. The free market, trading, free society, no rules. It's cute to think about, but the reality of it is most people will die. Most people can't fend for themselves. They will steal to get what they need. You will have to kill to keep what you have. Butterflies and rainbows, until shit hits the fan on high power and your caught in the middle of an actual power shift coming from all sides.
I'd actually like to know. Not being snarky.
@@laurensullivan1522 simply put: patriots vs. communists.
@@laurensullivan1522 Not if the brave fight for the weak. Not if we are righteous. If you are an anarchist, you should eat, breath, and drink natural law. If we live by natural law, there is nothing to fear. What you are saying is what you have been programmed to believe. Its fear conditioning.
@@laurensullivan1522 The most genetically superior will prevail aka men.
My headcanon is that since they never removed V's mask they're not 100% sure that he's dead. Therefore he may still be barely alive and conscious while on the subway train of explosives. While aware that he is about to die he can at least do so with the satisfaction that his plans will certainly succeed and he will leave this mortal coil completing what Guy Fawkes set in motion so many years before.
I love how when Evey says, "He was Edmond Dantes," Finch just kind of looks at her like, "Oh, honey...you really are crazy." (I know that's probably not what that look meant, but it certainly could be interpreted that way!)
I don’t know if this was intentional but I find it slightly amusing how V dawns a Guy Fawks mask when Guy Fawks himself was a famous revolutionary who died before being able to strike a match stick
Wait...what?!? You don't know if it was intentional?!? I suppose you probably don't know why they specifically chose Guy Fawkes Day, I mean, the 5th of November, to blow up parliament either?!? I mean, I don't know how they could have possibly made the Guy Fawkes connection any more obvious, and intentional at every level, but sure. Well done for spotting it then, I suppose. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️

This movie sparked my love for classical music. I even have Tchaikovsky on vinyl and many others now.
This scene gives me goosebumps every time.
How could anyone thumb down such a fab film. I even brought a mask . Love it .
I cry as soon as the little girl with glasses takes off her mask. Every time.
We need this today
Philosopher Slavoj Zizek once made a joke that he was ready to sell his own mother into slavery for a sequel to this film. This is because many people flirt with the idea of popular revolution, but the more difficult conversation is how to re-structure society once this revolution has taken place. Unless you have a vision of what form this new society will take, you risk it falling to the same fate as the one which came before it.
Well this movie seems a bit more relevant now in Britain….
One detail that I feel like a lot of people miss, is that at the end when taking their masks off, you can see a bunch of people who have already died, which I feel like very beautifully symbolises how even in death each of them played an important part and represented a piece of the puzzle to make the revolution happen, to make the change.
It feels like this is what we need in America. We are leading to a totalitarian government. So many people have predicted this moment and I feel like it’s going to happen with the Statue Of Liberty. Quote me 01/05/23.
Did you hear in the very beginning the announcement on TV regarding America? I think this movie IS in reference to America!
Anyone else read the Count of Monte Cristo and come here just for that one line, "He was Edmund Dantes". Art gives us permission to live a certain way by showing us what it looks like to live that. It puts words to our passions, confirms our desires, and shows us how to go about getting what we want. Gives me chills that line.
I came here hoping this happens IRL nowadays. It's really needed more than ever.
That line actually inspired me to reread it. I'd read an abridged version back in middle school. I bought an unabridged version off Barnes & Noble in all its 1000+ pages of glory. The parallels between the characters are clearly evident. The messages are quite different though.
This scene always gives me goosebumps
This movie doesn't get talked about much in the 2020s
Hah it’s 11:30PM. I haven’t missed it. I managed to watch this on November the 5th
my speakers were proud to die for this amazing show
they went out with a bang!
One of the greatest movie endings of all time. So powerful and moving.
V is my favorite. I just love him
Strange how 15 years later the clips from this movie have been showing up in my feed an awful lot. Is the algorithm trying to tell me something about the world 🤔
The Ayrton light (the green light that is lit when Parliament is in session) was lit up in this scene, meaning that parliament was talking before the palace went booming, which means they killed off a lot of people, bravo to V
Now the big question:
Which House was in session at the time? The House of Commons, the House of Lords or both? 😉
This movie is a prophecy...watch and learn:>
Now more than ever, people need to realise the truth of these current events. I feel that there are to many people still asleep to what is going on, really going on right now.
Predicting the future is a tricky thing. For example, if you are correct, what will be the defining moment? Will it be when the public accepts the masks? or when the masks are finally removed? Perhaps when the populist firebrand 'blows up' the establishment and all the masks come off? Complicated Business 😎
It’s always bugged me that those people are standing way too close to parliament and Big Ben, they would have gotten blown up or crushed by falling debris…
The only missing thing to yesterday's good news
We need a V figure in our current times.
Isn't that the point of this scene though? That V is supposed to be everybody? We don't need a V figure; we need to recognize that we ARE V, if can just find the courage.
Assange
We need a V right now, the world needs a V.
Remember, V is all of us (I'm already thinking of making a complaint about a few things in my city)
@@sofiu-v3p as long as politicians hold diplomatic immunity IN THEIR OWN COUNTRIES you can complain to the goverment officials all you want.
They decide what is and isnt just.
The world will follow the antichrist, that is your V. The whole film is NWO and satanic.
Happy Guy Fawkes Day
When is that? I can't remember.
@@ThatIanShane I see you found your reason
1:50 I have never felt so patriotic.
Ah, if only we could do this for real!
we can...... there is nothing stopping us only us....
Hell yh!!
And the people will wake up, rise up, and take off their masks 🎭
This getting closer
-Great epic ending, a classic film.
This always gets a tear in my eye. V changed Evey forever.
Every shot from above gave me chills, this massive shadow just moving across the city.
Not one moment of the finale is anything but perfection. I remember when it was brand new, and some people mistook the dead characters showing up in the crowd as a goof. I can understand it might be too subtle for some, but c'mon.
The symbolism of their appearances is just sublime. The victims are being honored. Their memories will remain. Their suffering won't be in vain, for they helped in their own way and will stand in time as examples.
It's specially good, to put those last four people in the end: Dietrich, the little girl that was shot for painting a wall and sparked the riots. And last of all, Valerie and her girlfriend.
I'm sure Valerie's letter was the primary inspiration, for V to go beyond personal revenge. To enact justice for everyone. To BECOME everyone.
I like to think V for Vendetta whether the graphic novel or the movie is the sequel to 1984 (my own head cannon )
Anonymous hasn't done this to America yet?
Anonymous is nothing like what "V" was doing at all, they are just hackers.. That when everyone did take a stand and march across the nation what difrence did it make? NONE at all if you ask me, everything is still the same everywere you go, there are no heros all there is ,is ,work, go home, have bills, be too busy with other things in life were you cant and wont be able too stand up, all the weapons gagdets that the goverment has had for decades but barley finally showing them off to scare people also filling the jails.. There is no heros, only failures with dreams that wish..

CommanderWittman I hope so too brother i will be there when it happens, its all for the greater good to protect human lives..
Of course not! They're scared! They think they're gods and badasses but they're just nerds behind a keyboard. Why else would they despise their voice in "messages" they do. They steal logic from a movie. So no, they won't rebel. They'll just hack stupid websites, trying to send a message
Exploading in my ears, love it!
This country needs more than a building right now- This is so iconic and important these hard times. For everybody!
I watched this four times in theaters, this scene was so nice, perfect music! gave me goose bumps everytime
I always get chills when Valerie and Ruth appear
Greatest finale ever!
Boy this seems to hit harder seeing whats going on in the UK right now. Govt went full totalitarian.
Did they really you little lizard brain? Immigrants hurting your little feelings?

@@will5715This is an example of a brain wash and submissive to the government look like.

favorite scene in whole movie shows what a man's word can do n how people can stand up against higher power💯
This is great, but imagine the next morning when everyone is like "Shit, we gotta clean up this mess and get started on a new government."
