The movie V for Vendetta?!


Question: What kind of symbolism did you see? What do you think that movie was trying to tell us?


Answers: What kind of symbolism did you see? What do you think that movie was trying to tell us?

We need to look beyond the "Don't let the government control you" message. This was an obvious point made, but wasn't the actual symbolism involved.

Notice the line when V says behind his mask you will find an IDEA. Ideas, however, must be carried out in order to make a change.

Now, the very end of the movie, when the British citizens all march over the military troops. What do they do? They take off their masks! This is as if they are revealing the ideas (that they had just carried out) of every individual and showing that these "ideas" were finally being exposed and carried through by the masses. Many of the people you see at the end taking off their masks are supposed to be physically dead, however the point I believe they were trying to make is that their ideas lived on, which is why they were seen alive.

V was never seen with his mask off, which makes me think that only with the mask off are you carrying out these ideas that are covered behind a "mask,".... because as we know, V dies before the final "conclusion" takes place. Until you remove the mask from your idea, you cannot achieve greatness. Even death can't stop that.

dont mess around with people in crazy looking masks

Government Use fear to Control the people.

I personally think it was trying to say that people are sheep to the government and we need to stand up for what we want; not listen to everything the people in power that are making decisions tell us. Otherwise, In the long run we will have no rights and no freedom. Just look at the "Real ID" or this war. Very few people want it but the geniuses controlling everything in our "Democracy" say what goes in reality. To sum it up I think they were trying to say power corrupts and we need to remind them this is the peoples' country.

Well, the line, "People should not be afraid of their governments; governments should be afraid of their people," is probably the most obvious theme of the film. The letter "V" is clearly a motif (Natalie Portman's character's name "Evey," the Roman numeral "V" at the prison camp, etc.) though it doesn't stand for victory inasmuch as the titular character V's personal vendetta against those who wronged him and the fascistic government they represent.

The interconnectivity of people and events and the concept that there isn't a such thing as chance or coincidence is a popular theme that the Wachowski Bros. carried over from their "Matrix" films. The source material, incidentally, contains many of the same visual and thematic motifs as the film.

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.

Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V
