V for Vendetta (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Look, don't get me wrong, I love it.

A cow getting crucified.

It's hysterical.

But you'll never get it approved.

You've got to rewrite it, okay?

Gotta go."

"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage – no mere veneer of vanity – is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition! 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. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V."



V for Vendetta (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: V for Vendetta is a 2005 dystopian thriller film directed by James McTeigue and produced by Joel Silver and the Wachowskis, who also wrote the screenplay. It is an adaptation of the V for Vendetta comic book by Alan Moore and David Lloyd. Set in London in a near-future dystopian society, Natalie Portman stars as Evey, a working-class girl who must determine if her hero has become the very menace he is fighting against.  Hugo Weaving plays V — a bold, charismatic freedom fighter driven to exact revenge on those who disfigured him. Stephen Rea portrays the detective leading a desperate quest to capture V before he ignites a revolution.

 The film had been seen by many political groups as an allegory of oppression by government; libertarians and anarchists have used it to promote their beliefs. Activists belonging to the group Anonymous use the same Guy Fawkes mask popularized by the film when they appear in public at numerous high-profile events, emulating one of its key scenes. These masks have been seen at Occupy movement events. Lloyd is quoted saying: "The Guy Fawkes mask has now become a common brand and a convenient placard to use in protest against tyranny – and I'm happy with people using it, it seems quite unique, an icon of popular culture being used this way."

This same church once also had the sign reading:

"If God is for us; 

who can be against us?"

Totally inappropriate for a nation that's supposed to  be a plural society. 

Until all religions can agree on the same god and what it means believing in this god;
what right does any of them have expecting me choosing one before considering me...
"not godless?"

There either is or there isn't.

AND...
you get the god you have; not the god you choose.

Read an article once where a mother was quoted as saying:

"Children never really grow up 

until 

their parents die."

If we are all supposed to be God's children...
isn't it possible humanity's inability letting go of this abstract concept of God, 
allowing God to die, 
just be it refusing to grow up?

Revolution is life.

 

Not about living...

but

fate.
