@@jkfozul2316 I'm not sure exactly how much of it, but, setting aside how much was stuntwork, he actually did do a fair amount. Just not all of the non-stuntwork stuff. Man would be a great VA given how well he and the audio crew matched his speech to the existing footage cues. Didn't really sound like ADR at any point, so either he delivered lines with something on his face to give the quality of talking behind a mask, or the audio crew really did well making it sound like he actually was.

[@timhibbard4226]

V only kills the doctor painlessly. This is very much on purpose. V had been planning his revenge for a long time. He was watching his targets that whole time and he saw that she was the only one who had any remorse whatsoever for her part in that death camp program. She is the only me who didn’t trade her participation to raise her status in this horrible society by keeping her quiet. She changed her name and went into obscurity and arguably into some sort of meaningful public service. He probably knew she was miserable snd depressed. She probably had sleepless nights and alcohol problems all observed by him. Her death and their exchange about apologizing never being meaningless is one of my favorite scenes in the movie at it’s because of all these layers to script and the actors performances.

[@bsb1975]

My favorite scene. Always makes me tear up. I'm surprised how many of these reaction videos blaze past this scene with barely a comment about it.

[@silverdandylmao]

You make an excellent point! The other targets ended up becoming high profile figures or at least, continuing to serve the corrupt government. Meanwhile the doctor changed her name, and let herself fade into the background. She could've furthered her career in pharma or immunology or smth, but instead she's a coroner working with the police. Good job pointing that out!

what's interesting is there is a VERY similar line in Batman Begins about being a symbol and an idea that is invincible.. both came out in 2005

[@GrumpyOldGuyPlaysGames]

According to Stephen Frye, the reason he agreed to do this film was because, and I quote, "I hadn't been beaten up in a movie before and I was very excited by the idea of being clubbed to death." Which to me is one of the more spectacular reasons for doing a film I've ever heard.

[@Cadinho93]

"People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people." It's one of the best quotes ever because it applies to any country. People have more power if they really tried to do what is needed to be done. Also, Fun Fact: John Hurt, the Chancellor, was Winston, the protagonist of the movie "1984", which makes the casting even more perfect.

Interestingly, V's opening speech, which has already been "translated" by others, basically gives a summary of his motives and what he intends to do: V: Behold! At a quick glance, I’m just an old retired entertainer in a mask who indirectly ended up as both a victim and a villain by an unwelcomed change of fate. This mask is not just a pleasant looking cover to hide that which lies beneath, it is the last remaining trace of the voice of the people, which has disappeared and now no longer exists. However, this courageous arrival of a past irritation stands reborn and inspired and has sworn to conquer and crush these bribe-taking, corrupted, poisonous vermin who are at the forefront of promoting evil and greed, by allowing the use violence to remove the free will of the people. [carves V onto propaganda poster] The only solution to this problem is retaliation. A personal revenge that I have vowed to carry through with, which can I add is not for my own fulfilment, because the meaningfulness and truthfulness of my actions will one day become clear to the watchful and honest people. [giggles] Admittedly, this concoction of complicated words has now become a bit excessive and long-winded, so let me simply finish by saying that I am honoured to meet you, and you may call me V.

V was a normal human being who was arrested when the Fascist Norsefire party came into power. When he was in the Larkhill concentration camp, they performed experiments on him (and others), injecting him with various drugs. As an unintended result of this, V has enhanced physiology via mutation, giving him Superhuman Strength, Enhanced Reflexes, Enhanced Intellect, Superhuman Stamina, Superhuman Durability, Superhuman Agility, and Superhuman Speed. Not quite a Superhero, more of a viglante, similar to Batman. But he is a part of the DC Comic Book Universe.

[@matttriano]

V FOR VENDETTA was written by Alan Moore and illustrated by David Lloyd starting in 1982; the future events that mirror in some ways our reality in the Twenty First Century were predicted in the 80s. The Wachowskis adapted the book fairly faithfully.

[@JamesSmith144]

It's based on a comic from the 80's... the reason that the police were called "Fingermen" is because the different sections of Government were named for different body parts based on what their role is. They are the fingers of the government so to speak, the head of the news is the head of the Mouth. Creedy is head of the finger. The film had to condense alot of it but the names still carried over to some extent. Great reaction as per usual Ash :) also for additional trivia the actor who played V was Hugo Weaving, he played Agent Smith in the Matrix and Elrond in Lord of the Rings too, he's brilliant. If you ever fancy a change of pace there's a comedy he was in called Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. It's a comedy about some Australian drag artists that's pretty damn good 👍

Makes a strong argument for the 2nd Amendment popular in the US. Especially if you look at failed governments in S. America that became brutal dictatorships very along the lines of V for Vendetta. I actually lived in Poland during the fall of the Berlin Wall. It was like the beginning of the film. At times there were curfews especially after a uprising/protest. We know what happened the success of the Berlin Wall fall, but at the time we assumed all foreigners would be rounded up and blamed for the incident by the communists. We stayed for days inside. Later I met a Chinese friend of mine that lived the other side of the Berlin Wall in China. Tiananmen Square resulted with the government not collapsing but running over the students with tanks. My friend was literally there 2 days before the atrocity that was covered up by the CCP for years. Now the CCP took over and destroyed the Hong Kong pseudo-democracy after the handover. Free press, freedom of speech and gun ownership really does help prevent a dictorship or at least slow it down.

Alan Moore is the writer of the comic, same for Watchmen and while he doesn't want to ever see his interpretations of his comic books in film, I think the team behind this such as the Wachowskis and James McTeigue and everyone did an incredible job honoring the source material.

Alan Moore is a genius. This film wasn't that highly thought of at the time of release but it's aged very well.

LOVE this movie. It is crazy and honestly a little scary to watch (rewatch) over the last couple of years considering all that has happened since early 2020. Makes this movie almost prophetic and a little scary at how close it parallels what is happening now and this was made the better part of 20 years ago. Glad you picked this for a reaction! 👍

If you're interested, read the graphic novel too. Written by Alan Moore, who also wrote The Watchmen. I personally think V For Vendetta is his best. Much of this movie is directly adapted.

Also, the reason the CGI looked so great on the destruction of parliament is because it was a practical model, not CGI.

Ash quickly picks up on the V language. Blurts out the V word he best knows. 😂

Rest in peace John Hurt. This movie hes the guy that only speaks on the screen calling the shots. You'll most likely know him as the wand maker that gave harry potter his wand. He was also the war doctor on doctor who, the special that had him, David Tennant and Matt Smith

A Very Very symbolic Video..... 🎙️Symbolisms!!! "People should not be afraid of their Governments. Governments should be afraid of their people" So many world problems could be sorted if the people of suppressed countries took back control.

"He wants the V" 😂 and many more V,V,V and too much fingering lol and finger man 😂 nice video reaction 👍🏻

This is actually a LOVE STORY wrapped up in a WAR STORY. V (Hugo Weaving) is the EPIC WARRIOR, always protecting Evey (Natalie Portman), she loving him in return. This film of 2005 is a prophetic film of exactly what is occurring in today's world. His acting is spectacular, you know all his emotions by his voice tone while only wearing a mask?! And she is a beautiful woman as well as a top actress. Thank you for your review of this film, another great job.

Yes....Portman really had her head shaved for the movie...And yes...she's still beautiful.

I had the same feeling watching it in early 2000's and correlating it to the 9/11 attacks and government involvement. Definitely one of my favorite with the message.

[@oggyreidmore]

The screen play was written by the Wachowskis, but they didn't predict the future. They were symbolizing the erosion of constitutional rights and the creation of a surveillance police state after 9/11. The original comic was written in the 1980s and the author was borrowing themes about fascism and anarchy from from George Orwell and Aldous Huxley who published their most famous works in the 1930 and 40s. This isn't a prediction so much as a case of history repeating itself.

Funny but GREAT thing is, you will enjoy it even more the 2nd time of watching, the gift that keeps on giving.
