V for Vendetta

"People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people."-V Have you ever wondered what it would be like if the people around you came together to stand up for something they beleive in? Would there be chaos? Death of loved ones? Or simply just a stop to it? Whatever it is and whereever it is, in school, work or life in general V believed you needed to come together, have a stonger meaning behind it and have hope. We rated this movie a 5 out of 5 because it showed us different views and it was meaningful.

V for Vendetta The genre for this movie was drama and it was definitely. It was so exciting to watch that you never even wanted to stop! There were many Symbols in this movie; such the numbering and his name beingV meaning 5 for the 5th of November. We think the rose was also a symbol because of blood or because V was so touched by the two girls love, both of which have died. When V  played beethoven the fifth was also a huge symbol that goes about with the plot. The director was James McTeigue Writers: Andy Wachowski (screenplay), Lana Wachowski (screenplay).

 The story starts off  with a freedom fighter known only as "V"  who uses terrorist ways to fight against his totalitarian society. When he saves a girl from the secret police although he falls in love with this women, evey and goes to continue on with his plans.

First V blows up the Old Bailey building which for us was the Rising action, although it was difficult to pick this because this movie was action filled, we loved the way they used the music to go along with the explosions. V 's main mission was to blow up the Paralment to show England that they need to come together and need hope, not just a building. This reason made V have many followers, and having Evey made everything come together.

The Climax was when everyone was scared and wondering if this would really happen. V had got everyone exactly where he wanted them. He made made the city go insane, with the murders he had along with mystery of who is was made the people pick a side. If they would go with the government or stick up for what they believe in. This made us wonder, what's next?

"My turn"-V When everything was coming to an end V put up a huge fight until of which became the end of him.  For us, we both agree the falling action was when V came back to where Evey was and died, but the plan still followed through by Evey. This happened by a Subway being full of expolsives which was going to go through and from underneath to blow up the Paraliment making an incredible Bang! and fireworks making it a great show for the City. V was laid inside the subway with roses next to him, with Evey pulling the triger he would be sent off to be part of the show.


Evey: "We are told to remember the idea, not the man. Because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten. But 400 years later an idea can still change the world." We really like this quote because it is true, and it tells us that V is just human and still has problems just like the rest of us. We both really loved also when Evey Said:"He was Edmond Dantes. And he was my father and my mother... my brother... my friend. He was you... and me. He was all of us." Because that again just shows us that he is true and although he may not be virtuous because all the killing he has done and the way he went about things he's still just a person.




"People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people."-Have you ever wondered what it would be like if the people around you came together to stand up for something they beleive in? Would there be chaos? Death of loved ones? Or simply just a stop to it? Whatever it is and whereever it is, in school, work or life in general believed you needed to come together, have a stonger meaning behind it and have hope. Now ask yourself...are you standing up for what you believe in?
