V For Vendetta(film)

“Remember, remember the fifth of november. The gun powder, treason and plot. I know of no reason why the Gun Powder Treason should ever be forgot.”- V

I've always found the ability to speak with a clear voice, confidence and astonishingly neat and well ordered sentences, in addition the well sounded rythm of the speaker. This I always find interesting. Which will bring out of me the curiosity of what really is saying and how well can I try to immitate and playing with the words such as those.

That feeling once again gets to me as I watch V for Vendetta. How V, the protagonist burst out his ideas in well ordered and organised words reminds me of David Carradine in Kill Bill 2 and the attraction is challenging my limited vocabulary of words. How it gets to me is spending hours listening to same speech as much as usually listening to newly released hit song.

Allow the protoganist to introduce himself,

The attraction also shared by others.

The idea of this movie however, differ with Kill Bill 2 as the speeches is always strong and lack of it's synical supports. But the idea is strong on it's own taken from The Gun Powder Treason plot. The idea is to remind us to stands against the institution or symbol that threaten us and keep us from our freedom. The idea is as strong as the character in the movie, it goes as a warning to the institution that the power of people prevail.

The story goes with questioning of how government spreads fear to its people, using surveillence and curfew to supress any resistance from the people. Any act of questioning and protest would result in detention, torture and death. (Except for the death part it is likely ISA).

The movie can be imagine through the speach that has been given by the protagonist to awaken the people. Whole movie takes time for a year started with the 5th november where V destroyed The Old Bailey to the next where he warn to blow up the Parliment synically. It's was a whole year where the truth is uncovered and the motives and strength of him and others are build, grew stronger.

In the dramatic ends, we can see how people are really awoke to stand before the corrupt government and retain their rights.

People should not be afraid of their governments, governments should be afraid of their people.
