Review of V for Vendetta

In 2020 a virus runs rampeded though the world. Most of all Americans are dead and Britan is ruled by a fascist dictator, Adam Susan (John Hurt) who promises security but not freedom. One man, known only by the letter V, stands against Susan. Warring the famed Guy Fawkes mask, who back in 1605 tried to destroy the House of Parliament. Since then, on November the 5th the ev of Guy Fawkes day, British school children for centuries have started bonfires to burn Fawkes in effigy. On this eve in 2020, V saves a young TV reporter named Evey from being raped at the hands of the police. The.n takes her to the rooftops to witnes him destroying the Old Bailey.
                                                                                                        
                                                                     
The movie fallows V for the next 12 months until the day that he would vowed to strike a crushing blow against the dictatorship on November 5. We see a police state that hold citizens in an iron grip and yet is repeatedly humiliated by one man who seems impervious. The state tries to suppress knowledge of his deeds--to spin a possible explanation for the destruction of the Old Bailey, for example. But V hijacks the national television network to claim authorship of his deed.

I really love this movie because of the message it brings. And the way that it expresses it.
