Tells the story of Evey Hammond and her unlikely but instrumental part in bringing down the fascist government that has taken control of a futuristic Great Britain. Saved from a life-and-death situation by a man in a Guy Fawkes mask who calls himself V, she learns a general summary of V's past and, after a time, decides to help him bring down those who committed the atrocities that led to Britain being in the shape that it is in. In a future British tyranny, a shadowy freedom fighter, known only by the alias of "V", plots to overthrow it with the help of a young woman. I had very low expectations for this movie. I felt the Wachowski brothers had had their day in the sun and we were post sunset. How wrong I was. <br/><br/>This movie was fantastic in every way imaginable. The story, fantastic! The pacing, impeccable! A must see for any movie aficionado and all this without the use of rampant violence. A true masterpiece!<br/><br/>I can only hope the Wachowski brothers' next project stacks up to this one. If push came to shove I might go so far as to say this was better then the Matrix and that's coming from a network engineer. Saying that is almost like committing heresy. Years after their biggest hit The Matrix, The Wachowski Brothers make a return with this masterpiece. Directed by a rather not-so-popular director James McTeigue, V for vendetta, portrays a single man's effort to battle the totalitarian government of his time. Combined with dazzling visuals, (those that resemble that of the matrix trilogy) V for vendetta portrays the theme of persistence and devotion throughout the film and does it extremely well. The actors, as well, play their roles so well that viewers might confuse the protagonist to the antagonist. We see this masked man in a killing spree. Yet his background leads us to sympathizing with him. And the dogma of the government makes even the cruelest and goriest measures taken by the masked rebel just.<br/><br/>V for vendetta features two main characters by the names of V (Weaving) and Evey (Portman). V is the main protagonist, (or so he wants us to think so). He is the rebel who's battling the totalitarian government of Great Britain. His main goal is to overthrow the government, and to end the tyranny that has caused him to wear the Guy Fawkes mask. In doing so he needs an ally to help alongside. Than he meets Evey, a young woman whose family was devastated by the government, and has held a grudge ever since. The two spend time together, learning about one another and almost turning the rather violent film into a sweet romantic one.<br/><br/>One aspect of the film that's consistent throughout is the devoted and determined persona of the protagonist. V, the main protagonist, seemed unrelenting in his efforts to achieve his goal. The idea of devotion is demonstrated throughout the film. However, devotion and consistency is not shown not only by V but also by those who want to see him dead, those that are after an invincible hero, and those that are after men pro-freedom and pro-individual rights.<br/><br/>Another aspect of the film that would take viewers by awe is the spectacular special effects. The bloody and gory action scenes were incredibly perfect and the Wachowski brothers, even though they didn't direct the film, bring back the atmosphere they created in a movie they directed almost a decade ago, The Matrix. Every action scene in this film is overwhelmingly violent, and just as satisfying.<br/><br/>Last but not least is the daunting performances of the main cast, starting from the dedicated fighter V played by Hugo Weaving, who rocks his role again, just as he did playing Agent Smith, and this time behind a mask. Natalie Portman also plays a character who is naïve, trustworthy, and has a miserable background. John Hurt also plays a wonderful role playing the extremely aristocratic leader Adam Sutler who would destroy anyone who would go against him.<br/><br/>Overall, V for Vendetta remains to be one of the best of its kind, with a brief insertion of humor and lots of bloodshed and violence, combined with a strong message about commitment, friendship and the battle for freedom. Wachowski Brothers did it again. Viewers expecting a thrill ride might be disappointed. V engages in a couple of satisfying crime-fighting set pieces, but the story is more occupied with mystery and intrigue. Happily, it almost is entirely free of the hollow pomposity that marred the Wachowskis' last two "Matrix" films. However, if you listen to the coroner's exact words, there is a suggestion of superpowers having developed: "The mutations seem to have triggered the abnormal development of basic kinesthesia and reflexes." It's possible that The Wachowski brothers misunderstood, or decided to expand, the definition of kinesthesia, which is in fact that sense that allows us to determine the physical positions of our extremities in relation to ourselves. For example, it allows us to touch our nose with our eyes closed. In the case of V, we are perhaps expected to believe that he was able to comprehend his position, and the position of other objects, in the physical universe with greater speed and claity than an average human. This, combined with his increased strength, does suggest he was a form of superhero.<br/><br/>In the graphic novel, no such mention of "increased abilities" is made, nor are we given any reason to believe that he acts with any abnormal capability. He is not presented as a "superhero" in the classic, "spandex-clad-with-no-visible-means-of-support" sense. In the source material, V is described as "a psychopath… in its most precise sense." The experimentation at Larkhill had no physical effect on him, but rather altered his perception of the world and how he occupied it. It essentially removed the subconscious censor that we all have between thought and action. Our minds/bodies work on a sequence of perception-evaluation-planning-conscience-reaction (we see a threat, we take a moment to work out how dangerous it is, then how to counter it, then we have a moment's doubt, and then we defend/attack/flee/hide). V has lost the middle steps of the sequence and as a result, his body reacts instantly and instinctively, doing exactly what he needs to in order to counter any threat without conscience. To "normal" people, the ability to act without fear of the consequence may seem inhuman—but not superhuman.<br/><br/>There are some elements that might be seen as supernatural, although the surface asserts a purely natural narrative; the inexplicable appearance in the swept and secure Victoria Station is one. Sending out hundreds of thousands of tight fitting costumes and tall boots, all of which appear to fit the wearers, might be another. Most of all, the image with the dominoes, intercut with Finch's psychic perception of the pattern, suggests at least a supernatural relationship to causality. They are Creedy's special police force. They do the black-bagging and interrogations, as well as having the authority to make on-the-spot judgements for offenders, without due process of law. Finch is the leader of the Nose, which is essentially the regular police force—they sniff out criminals. Sutler might be considered the Brain. The Fingers do the dirty work. The Eyes and Ears are visual and auditory surveillance (led by Heyer and Etheridge respectively). The Mouth is the news outlets, the propaganda machine (led by Dascomb). Together they make up the Head and the five senses, though only the term "Fingermen" survived the novel's translation to film, with the Nose, Mouth, etc left unmentioned by those names. In the film, breaking curfew is a crime for which Fingermen (the secret police) get judicial discretion on dealing with suspects (in effect, acting as judge and jury, meting out punishment themselves). The men Evey runs into in the film were planning to use this discretion to rape her with a legal seal of approval. Part of their mentality is that of seeing curfew policies as existing to protect against such things, and they will go out of their way to ensure that such things occur when curfew is broken (which the media outlets can then spin with expressions like "See what happens when you break curfew?"). In the graphic novel, the charge is prostitution and the Fingermen clearly state they are going to rape and kill Evey. The Old Bailey is the Central Criminal Crown Court in Central London, and yes, it is actually known today as "The Old Bailey", although, officially, "The Old Bailey" is the name of the road on which the Court is located. This has not been revealed, but many believe ultimately it doesn't matter, believing that their purpose was never to kill/hurt people. Instead, they were to be a tool to scare/force people at the station to allow V access to the airways, and then later, to keep them busy while he made his escape. However, if they were real, Dascomb's ability to disarm them was due to either: (1) The bomb's set up wasn't so intricate that there was a right and wrong wire to be cut. If any part of the setup was disconnected, the whole thing wouldn't work. (2) He has prior experience in working with explosives, perhaps as part of military service or employment by the police. (3) He simply got lucky and guessed the correct wire. If they weren't real, then it didn't matter what he did, or did not do, as nothing would have happened either way.<br/><br/>Common arguments for them being real: (1) Killing well-known news anchors, as well as destroying their main news studio, would have stirred up more emotion amongst the government and populace than the deaths of people they've never heard of, or buildings no one cares about. (2) V knows that as soon as possible after his message is broadcast, the BTN will surely play some sort of message against it, either the disheartening "terrorist captured and killed" response we saw, or something similar. By destroying the country's main news studio, as well as its top anchors immediately afterwards, it delays the time the BTN is able to broadcast a response, giving the populace who saw it more time to think it over and inevitably discuss it amongst themselves. The BTN's response will also be less believable due to the delay and in hearing it from lesser or completely unknown anchors. (3) Any single terrorist act, especially subsequent attacks (remember the first attack being the destruction of the Old Bailey) will always cause an erosion, at least temporarily, in popular support for a government.<br/><br/>Common arguments for them not being real: (1) If they had gone off, V could have been close enough to have been killed/injured in the explosion. (2) An explosive of that size would not have been great enough to cause significant damage to the building and/or BTN's propaganda apparatus. Consider that even if the explosion had destroyed the studio and a good part of the surrounding floor, surely BTN has other studios available, at other locations, which could broadcast whatever they want in a matter of minutes. (3) V displays a tendency to not kill without specific reason. Therefore, it isn't likely that he would blow up a room full of civilians who hadn't harmed him personally. However, a good counterargument to this third point is that V's Domino Plan involves inspiring violent anarchy in the UK. This will result in civilian deaths/casualties as Norsefire will undoubtedly commit even further outrage-inspiring atrocities in an attempt to restore order. Also, V clearly does not have any problem killing Fingermen and police officers who work for the state. As such, office personnel at the BTN could easily be considered among those working for the state, and therefore part of the problem. It is Latin for, "By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe."
