V for Vendetta Movie Review

V for Vendetta: It is not just a movie review; it is a revelation and an inspiration for all people who suffer from injustice in the world.

The movie begins a long time ago to explore the concept of revolution.

Guy Fawkes represents the symbol of this revolution and the origin of its idea at the time.

Some may forget who the man is, but we will definitely never forget the idea.

Ideas live and last over time, staying stuck in strong minds because they are the path to a better life if we try to revive them.

The key events and lyrics of the movie V for Vendetta

• Remember, remember the fifth of November, as it is considered one of the most important lines in the movie. This means there must be a specific time for the revolution, and things should not be left without a clear plan; otherwise, the situation could turn into a war with no clear definition or goal.

• The movie quickly shifts to the present to show our hero and heroine preparing for their first meeting, which will bring them together by chance soon. However, there is no coincidence in this world, as our hero told us, because fate always chooses its individuals to carry out its plans.

• Our two heroes meet when the Fingers men try to hurt Evey, and V suddenly appears, saving her from their grasp, introducing himself with a wild speech, and then inviting her to prom.

• The hero starts by destroying the statue of Lady Justice in a spectacular musical and theatrical scene to show that it has no real worth or meaning in England. It also marks the beginning of standing up against the dark injustice that our hero has endured at the hands of a government that cares little for the people or their right to a free and fair life, which is suppressed by countless restrictions.

• The ruling dictator of England appears on a massive screen, demonstrating his power and control as he gives orders to his subordinates, who look tiny in comparison. He compels them to arrest V before he escapes and insists they hide the order to intentionally bomb the Old Bailey building.

• Our hero took control of the main station where the ruler used to broadcast his lies to the people, marking his second move with an unconventional message. In it, he reminded the people of the betrayal and revealed the spoiled gunpowower plot, emphasizing that the idea is still alive. He announced his plan to lead the revolution a year from now, urging the people to cast off their fear, stand with him, and fight until justice and freedom are restored.

• At the same time, the police reached Evey, and she happened to be working at the same station. They chased her inside the station, but she managed to hide. The police were surprised to find her in the same place and to be controlling her, so they tried to end the situation quickly.

• The police almost arrested him if it hadn't been for Evey’s intervention and her saving him when she fell unconscious, so he carried her to his house. When she woke up and learned she was forced to stay with him until the day he had set a year later, she became very upset, but she soon realized that he had saved her from either death or at least torture, so she apologized and thanked him.

• In one of the most important and best scenes of the movie, we see V and Evey exchanging dialogue, and she tries to find out why he is doing that and how serious he is about what he said on the screen in front of people. We see V responding with poetry and some touching words.

• I dare do all that becomes a man. Who dares more is not a man. Our hero used Macbeth's words to tell us that there's no point in being a man if you don't do everything appropriate to live your life free from slavery or injustice. He emphasized that you must take a strong and bold stand against injustice, which requires a strong will of yours.

• Next, V continues with his plan to break free from the dictatorship's control, starting with Commander Prothero, who is known as the Voice of London.

• Artists employed lies to uncover the truth, whereas politicians used them to hide it.

• Evey offers V help if he finds a role for her in his plan, and he believes that she has started to shake off her fears and believe in the cause of justice, but she is only thinking about escaping from the place and this crazy terrorist she thinks he is.

• From here, V tries to involve her in his next move, so he sends her to the priest who was one of those who hurt him. In fact, Evey manages to reach the priest and tries to warn him instead of distracting him, when V arrives at the scene and is surprised by what is happening, but he kills the priest while Evey escapes.

• The chief investigator began connecting the people V was killing, only to find they were all at a place called Larkhill, where humans were being experimented on. The only survivor was the forensic doctor, and he tried to save her. However, V arrived first, and she attempted to express her regret for what had happened. She did, but it doesn't help her at all.

• In a narrative scene, it becomes clear that V is the main victim of Larkhill because the doctor believed he was the key to the cure, and he was confined in the cell labeled V.

• On the night of November 5, chaos erupts in the area, but the doctor survives and watches V emerge from the rubble and flames in a majestic scene, roaring like a wounded lion.

• We return to Evey, who fled from V and went to her boss, Gordon, who holds some extremist ideas, some of which are quite revolutionary. The police storm Gordon's house and arrest him. Evey tries to escape again, but she does not succeed this time.

• Evey is arrested and taken to a location while she's unconscious. When she regains consciousness, she's asked about V’s whereabouts, but she doesn't actually know him. As a result, she's tortured in various ways to reveal his location, but all attempts fail.

• By chance, Evey finds a carefully hidden paper in her cell. She takes it and starts reading the story of Valerie, who was imprisoned in the same cell. It impacts her deeply, and she learns that Valerie died there and that she will most likely face the same fate.

• Evey begins to develop a sense of resilience against torture and becomes indifferent to the idea of death when the person interrogating her asks about V's whereabouts for the last time, but this time she refuses to cooperate.

• One of the cruelest moments in this scene is when this person tells her that she has been convicted in a special court, and the punishment is execution.

• She responds to him that she is ready to die, so he tells her that she no longer fears death, making her free now, and this person leaves her cell, leaving it open.

• Signs of confusion flicker on her face as she leaves the cell, only to find V standing in front of her.

• Our hero was trying to eliminate the fear deep inside Evey and help her feel what the oppressed had experienced. He succeeded in doing so. Although Evey was upset and called him evil and crazy, she felt better because she knew she was reborn inside.

• The Governor Sattler told his leaders to remember why they need us, and this is essentially what the government is trying to enforce since their absence would cause chaos in the country, making people afraid when they think about it.

• Detective Chief Finch nearly uncovers the truth behind all this. The government developed a virus claiming it was for protecting national security and released it in various locations. Fear spread among the people, and after the elections, treatment started to show up at one of the pharmaceutical companies run by several members of the ruling party, giving them complete control.

• V arrives at Creedy, the first among Sattler’s leaders, and makes a deal with him: President Sattler will hand V over in exchange for V surrendering to Creedy. Creedy is convinced for several reasons, including realizing that he will be the first to be sacrificed by Sattler if V succeeds in destroying the parliament building.

• The fifth of November is approaching, the date set by V, and our hero does something unconventional yet very inspiring. He sends out thousands of copies of Guy Fawkes’ Mask to nearly everyone, as if he's telling them that the decisive moment in our history has arrived.

• People everywhere wear the Guy Fawkes mask without fear, while soldiers and enforcers arrest or kill anyone who wears it thoughtlessly.

• V asked Evey to see her before November 5th, and she responded by going to him that same night, which surprised him when he said he had a gift for her.

• V shows her the train he will use to destroy the parliament building and tells her that the decision is now in her hands to pull the lever and move the train, not his, because the decision must come from the people who will build the new world, and because his world will end tonight.

• Evey tries to stop him and kisses him in a brief moment of love that touches hearts, but he tells her he cannot abandon his ultimate goal.

• V approaches Creedy, who has captured Governor Sattler to introduce him, signaling that the time has come to finalize the deal. However, V leaves; Creedy kills Sattler and then shoots V, hitting him with multiple bullets. V quickly returns to Evey to tell her that he had planned this for a long time—until he saw her and fell in love, which changed everything—and the hero dies in her arms in a very emotional scene.

• Chief Detective Finch arrived at the train's location and was surprised to see Evey preparing to move the crane. He tried to stop her, but she did not listen to his words or threats. In fact, he believed this had to happen.

• At the same time, thousands of people were heading to the Parliament building in uniforms and masks, with nothing stopping them, and gathered in front of it, waiting.

• The building was destroyed during a lively, loud music scene, and our hero used the same music when he blew up the statue of Lady Justice.

• Everyone took off their masks, so no one needed them anymore. Finch asked Evey who V was, and she responded, "It was all of us."

my words

• Leaders need to focus on the people.

• Never give up your freedom, no matter what it costs to keep it.

• Fear can only defeat people if they allow it to take hold.
