Continued.

We, The People are who give the power to the governments. It is very much in our hands to take away the power. But, what happens when we with time, get too busy and start to take things in the way they are given to us . This Movie reminds us just to do that. To break the strands of complacency around us, and change the way things work ( because we know they are not on the right track ). The movie gives us an insight on your future, a "What We Would Be". "V" in this movie, despite the goverments desperate attack to denounce his "atrocities" the people still put their faith in him. And in the end, its the people who win.

Every now and then, a movie comes which reminds us of the real world around us. Now, people would ask why do we need movies, to see the real world when we actually live in it. Exactly. We are blind . We pretend as we dont see. And these movies help us to realise that. But riting a blog isnt actually What I should be doing. I should act. Believe me. I am, this is another way of doing that. I dont know how many of you would get to this line. But those of you who do, are really going to change this world. Best Of Luck

V For .............

Tried searching the dictionary, for a word which meant the same as Spectacular or Amazing beginning with the letter V, didnt find one. Because there isnt one.

Well that put away my message. V For Vendetta , the new Wachowski Brother's Creation(Screenplay, rather) is not just action. A More Pure and Simple Meaning .

But. Never forget the action. Ever. It isnt the breath-taking special effects of The Matrix, and not the Puppet-Animation from the 70's. Its a more classical Special Effect film. It isnt Zorro but then it isn't Rambo too. Its a preety much, classical way as you make call it . In the movie, V's favorite movie is The Count Of Monte Cristo, and thats the way he fights. There are a couple of brilliant sequences. my fav being the one in the end .

The Dialogues are another amazing part of this film . This is a movie that cant be done without Subtitles. Just to get the message which it stands for clearly. Hugo Weaving, does justice to the writer. This movie is taking him to the Oscars.

I'll Just Put In Here, My Fav Lines From The Film.

Evey Hammond: Who--who are you?
V: Who? Who is but the form following the function of what... and what I am is a man in a mask.
Evey Hammond: I can see that.
V: Of course you can. I'm not questioning your powers of observation, I'm merely remarking on the paradox of asking a masked man who he is.

Creedy: Bullocks. Whatchya gonna do, huh? We've swept this place. You've got nothing. Nothing but your bloody knives and your fancy karate gimmicks. We have guns.
V: No, what you've have are bullets, and the hope that when your guns are empty I will no longer be standing, because if I am you will all be dead before you've reloaded.
Creedy: That's impossible. Kill him.

V: This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone 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. 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 vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me

Rite...V speaks all of it. He doesnt try to be a Hero in all of the movie. There are his dark-sides as well . A Character well potrayed, and not just the Hero (Good) Part of him. Evey Hammond, (Natalie Portman), The makers of the film , or maybe she herself, has tried to make her act as what we are today. Its not just Evey Hammond, its a large part of us in her too. The Fear that makes us crumble and feel pety in-front of the tyranny of our Governments. A Very Strong Message that Fear, how the society is affected by it, and how its working in our mind and continuing to make us feel inferior. If , One Of "WE", start coming up , the society follows. The movie has alot of resemblances to the Bollywood Classic, Rang De Basanti. The same message. The same darkness. The same tyranny. To Be Continued.. Till then, immerse in the beauties of the lines....
