V For Vendetta Novel Plus His Mission

V For Vendetta Novel Plus His Mission

In the movie, V is looking to inspire others to take back their freedom and stop the brutality of the innocence, plus his mission is to right all the things that have wronged him.

Would that scare you Well, given the circumstances and situations that can arise from such a probability, being scared would be the least of your concerns.

V for Vendetta is a film that was an entertaining watch when it was released in the United States during the St.

Patricks Day holiday in 2006, but seeing the film fifteen years later does warrant a different take.

The film discusses a terrifying future where people are persecuted for who they are, essential rights and freedoms are taken away without mercy and one man stands alone in order to take back what was stolen from the people- their freedom So, how has this film aged What do we learn when viewing the film and how does any of that apply today And, what about those Guy Fawkes masks.

Written by Alan Moore, illustrated by David Lloyd along with Tony Weare, V for Vendetta was subsequently published by DC Comics.

Now, the graphic novel and film adaptation are vastly different; each working on their own terms but basically touch on the same themes.

The British Government has gone under a dramatic transformation resulting in a something called a Nordicism.

In this time around, England is under the rule of a man named Adam Sutler (Sir John Hurt), hes the appointed High Chancellor and is the authoritarian elected leader whos also the founder of the so-called Norsefire political party.

Under his rule, anyone who doesnt commit to the newly established rule of law is to be dealt with by his political yes-men.

People such as the Jews, homosexuals, immigrants and even political opponents are kidnapped and taken to an undisclosed location never to be seen or heard from again.

The news anchors report the news on orders of the government to be told to the people they way it should be told.

They wake up every morning, go to work and stay at home due to a curfew that occurs every night.

If someone were to be caught outside after curfew, then perhaps the Fingermen, or secret police, will arrest you.

This is what happen to Evey (Natalie Portman), a young woman working for the BTN even though she hardly agrees with the amount of lies they tell to the public.

While caught by the Fingermen, Evey is threatened with sexual assault when a mysterious figure appears and rescues her.

Hes a tall man who wears a mask that resembles Guy Fawkes (well get to him in a bit).

Instead of carrying a gun, this man carries an assortment of blades that allows him to slice up anyone that approaches too close to him.

Not to mention, he also appears well-trained in martial arts as well.

We do know that he holds a grudge and for that reason he is seeking vengeance.

During the course of the film, he introduces Evey to a world that while she is familiar with, has no idea at what lengths one person will go in order to right a wrong.

One of the stark differences between the graphic novel and the movie is the motivations behind V.

In the graphic novel, he seeks to overthrow the government to protest the rise of fascism.
