The poem, although featured in V for Vendetta, actually dates back closer to the Gunpowder Plot itself, and was a common saying used in reference to Guy Fawkes Day. Actually, it would be, “Sorry to be so rude.” The original “Poem states, ‘I know of no reason …”.

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. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone 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. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the “vox populi” now vacant, vanished. Voila! In view humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. : But on this most auspicious of nights, permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace soubriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona. : Of course you can, I’m not questioning your powers of observation, I’m merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. : Who? Who is but the form following the function of what and what I am is a man in a mask. And in this, she finds what V calls "freedom.V. At last, she admits, she is no longer afraid to die. Her eventual escape only leads her to a more awful place, imprisoned and tortured. While V is hunted by a decent cop Finch (Stephen Rea), he keeps Evey at his secret lair, where he makes her tea and eggs for breakfast. While the movie allows that torture only reproduces terrorism and violence, it also presents V's scheme as revolutionary and effectively symbolic. V's rage is fueled by the usual superhero's past trauma. Out after curfew, Evey (Natalie Portman) is about to be raped by some bad cops when V appears, kills them, and initiates his instruction of the vulnerable Evey in his anarchistic plot. The underlying, irresolvable question has to do with terrorism: why and how are people pushed to commit it, and what might it achieve, aside from fear and oppression? Can calculated violence, ever, as its proponents argue, lead to "freedom"? At the center of is masked terrorist V (Hugo Weaving), who battles against a very corrupt British regime. More generic action movie than philosophical investigation, V FOR VENDETTA focuses on a young woman's political education. It explores the actions people take (supporting it, accepting it or resisting it or fighting against it). Ultimately, it's a political film about extreme governments and their players: from the head of the government on down public workers. Some of it is generalized, like what you would see in any action film or video game with guns, and some of it is up close (the context is revenge), so, its disturbing, but not gory (some blood, no guts). Showing this in the political context is important. The torture is emotionally intense, but limited. There isn't any on-screen sexual violence, but the threats of it are present, as in real life. (But if your child is interested in these topics he/she may really enjoy it.)Ģ)Sexual violence/Torture. Themes that might be harder for kids under 14 to understand. That said, I would recommend it for older teens for the following reasons:ġ)Complicated politics: involving corruption, intrigue, sabotage. The photography, dialogue, intrigue, action, musical score and special effects are excellent.
