Watch The Video V For Vendetta Immediately

By Alice Douglas

I have to acknowledge that the evening I watched the trailer for "V For Vendetta" in the cinema My spouse and I was not even close to being prepared to pay $9.00 a ticket to see that man with a funny mask on his face. It seemed to me it might be one more of those simple motion pictures extracted from a not very known "comic" that are appearing in cinemas quite often these days. But now that I have watched it, I believe I was judging this motion picture wrong and not being totally fair with the writer and movie director.

It turned out quite surprising to follow the story and its continual resemblance to what is occurring today in a not too far away country and not too strange neighborhoods. The movie is in England and it has been taken over by several fanatics that have concluded that their reason to live is power and the imposition of his world model and ideas over everybody and everywhere. There's a continuing war outside the borders and inside democracy is over; at the same time fear is alive.

Folks have lost the power of questioning reality and also have become conscience of the horrible consequences of living under such a self-indulgent regime. It's a model based not in reason not in justice. Is the model "fascists" preach, exactly where obedience and a "clock-like" functioning of the society in the interest of a few "chosen ones" is required.

Yet suddenly there is a problem upsetting the "status-quo", they (not knowing) have created their own finisher. It's a figure that appears to us as a mixture of revenge with a revolutionary mind, its name is "V". Though the movie makes it closer to a simple vengeance thirst of this character, which is a bad point for the writer, but anyway; the movie put us before tyranny being challenged by a single questioner, a single doubt of what is new to that society and his menace to increase those doubts once the right time has come.

Another highlight is the human side of "V", he meets the girl in the movie while regrettably she is about to be raped by a group of secret agents of the "fascist" regime that have captured her walking at the wrong hours. You are not even the owner of your time as long as the preachers of "England Prevails" are in power. She escapes safely thanks to "V" but only to be initiated into the field of those who will change that world. She will be the guest and prisoner of "V" until she finally learns that there is nothing to fear but fear itself.

At the end there appears to be a split of the vengeance appetites of "V" and the revolutionary intentions which have been growing as the story evolves. It becomes somewhat clear that everything coming from the old regime must die, including "V", but he has left a final gift and maybe a lesson for those who want to learn it. Passions belong to individuals and can be very powerful forces; but revolutions cannot be made by a couple of individuals, revolutions are created by the conscience and will of the people.
