Based on Alan Moore’s DC comic series of the same name, written for the screen by The Wachowski’s (The Matrix), V for Vendetta is set in an alternate, dystopian United Kingdom, where the country is governed by a fascist Chancellor, Adam Sutler (John Hurt).
Desperate to put a stop to this totalitarian regime, citizen Evey Hammond (Natalie Portman) has a run-in with a mysterious, thespian in a Guy Fawkes mask by the name of “V” (Hugo Weaving), a skilled individual set on overthrowing this corrupt government by any means necessary.
It foreshadows a scenario that is eerily plausible in Britain’s future and demonstrates patriotism of the people in the most refreshing way, teaching you why differences should be celebrated, what it truly means to be free and is just an overall feel-good movie in general, get involved.
Remember, remember the fifth of November of gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gun powder treason should ever be forgot.
