Freedom or Fear? V FOR VENDETTA - Reaction & Review

[@finncullen]

Guy Fawkes jumped from the gallows deliberately so that his neck broke. The sentence was for hanging to the point of death, disembowelling while alive, and then being chopped into pieces. They carried it out after his death but he escaped that.

[@nupefromdaville]

Wow!!!!

[@zacharyharwell351]

That's... pretty metal in a weird way. Arrested, strung up and bound and he STILL got the last say on how he went out

Guy Fawkes/bonfire night is still a celebrated holiday here in the Uk. I’m currently watching this whilst fireworks blast outside. One of my favourite fun facts about this movie is how John hurt played both Winston in the adaptation of 1984, the oppressed. and Sutler in this movie: the oppressor!

Despise everyone that sets those things off.

same in nz even though I know nothing bout the guy

People shouldn't be afraid of their Government .. The Government should be afraid of their people. When did they stop serving us and just serve their own selfish means. This film would deffo be in my top ten.

[@verloser]

the fact guy fawkes almost ended the reign of corruption but was stopped

[@mikedignum1868]

As the Pub Landlord once said about losing America.. "We consider it a lucky escape".

[@finncullen]

The original comic was set in the far distant future of 1998 when such imaginary things as cameras on street corners would seem more plausible

Remember, remember...the fifth of November.

Nobody in the UK is sore about losing 'the colonies'. For America, the War for Independence was the most important day in their history, for the UK, it was Tuesday. That isn't meant to be an insult, at the time the UK had a lot of colonies and were more concerned with the French and Spanish Empires, who were a far more imminent and dangerous threat to the UK, whilst losing the 13 Colonies was not really seen as a big deal as the UK controlled around 25% of the world at the time and was losing and gaining territories constantly.

[@Velociraptour]

Fun fact, because you're currently watching Game of Thrones. Kit Harington (Jon Snow) is related to the mastermind of the Gunpowder Plot, Robert Catesby on his mother's side and played him in a TV show. Apparently, he's also related to a member of Parliament from the period (and maybe even King James I) on his father's side, who would have been blown up if the plot succeeded.

I must ad I had a bit of a chuckle when you said v for vendetta first when watching the sherlock episode. Because yeah v for vendetta but ya know also the actual event 😂. It's not like you ought to know about the actual thing but it is funny when it's someone's first connection as happens with some Americans. Still not a bad thing to connect with 😊

[@nupefromdaville]

I have learned much about Bonfire Day since.

[@David-cg1lh]

Calling it syntell adds a couple extra drops of water to the rain falling down. The is it too late to apologise gets me a little. Hugo weaving and Natalie Portman are Fantastic in this but OOOOH doing all that in a mask and I know everything he was feeling... Amazing!

[@andidreyes5323]

I love this movie. And I feel interested in Guy Fawkes... because of a YA book author that I read as a little girl. She was British (she's past now), Diana Wynne Jones, and she is BELOVED by the greatest sci-fi/fantasy author of today (including Neil Gaiman). The book was "Witch Week" and uses her Chestomanci character who is seen from book to book. The point being, she had books on multiple realities, magic, gods, but in thst book : it's a world like ours except every person who seems like a witch is burned. But in an alternative world, tied to it, is a world where no people with magic are born... but are perfectly acceptable. Chestomanci comes to figure out what is happening to these 2 worlds. And it was the Guy Fawkes moment. I'm a Xennial, so I had to learn about it on my own, card catalog-style. It made me view the idea of government as an institution that should work for its people. Instead, our Hall Monitors don't care.

Greetings from germany and stay as you are ✌️

[@raspberrybellini]

People like myself in the UK are proud of this movie, and I have the mask ready to go

[@questionablehumor2800]

the part where she had just finished Sith, and then gave THIS performance! kindof damning evidence that Lucas needs to make amazing worlds and leave directing the talent to others

[@fourfoxsake6850]

its based of alan moores work the guy who wrote the watchman too

[@somthingbrutal]

if you haven't seen it already you have to see Portman's first movie Leon: the Professional she is amazing in it. BTW go for the full cut of the movie not the US release

[@cliftonmoore8316]

i have the Graphic Novel and of course it's better then the movie, there are some Differences, i read it every November lol

[@BigItalian_Chesseburger]

You could theoretically release this movie in any year and it would give the same results. Power, greed and fear.

[@cremedelazen]

I love you guys for watching this movie💖

[@アキコ2003]

Is there a reason every channel is watching this movie now at the same time?

[@cirinoso1818]

Because it's 5 of november.

[@nac.mac.feegle]

_Kiss of the Spiderwoman_ is a tough movie to watch (and tough book, too), but sort of in line with the tenor of this movie.

[@SoTOreo]

i get the feeling were going to be doing some depression watching of reactions soon

This is such a special film!!

Also, a lot of people have regular eyebrows that aren't wild. My sister and aunts are all jealous of my eyebrows. 😂. It don't do anything to them. Not a thing.

[@jessestanley1690]

It’s like a documentary

[@David-cg1lh]

I think the colonies thing is very much a crazy conservative resurgence thing. He's leaning on that godly country "oh Jerusalem" rhetoric and will certainly view America as having departed from "our great empire" and whatever criticisms you could levy at America. We must also remember we have no way of knowing if anythings even wrong in America. Alot of people act like America's already apocalyptic right now cause of a bunch of nonsense

[@yaboigimli]

Such a one sided dogmatic narrow view you have about the message... also Natalie Portman was excited to do the hair shaving scene.

[@gemelwalters2942]

Pretty sure the directors were the Wachowski brothers when this was made and I frankly have better things to do than keep up with what new perverse kinks every celebrity takes up, so I'll just keep saying Wachowski brothers. There are definitely some things they changed from the books but for the most part it's a good adaptation.
