V for Vendetta - The Count of Monte Cristo

Here's one of my favourite scenes from the wonderful film "V for Vendetta". 'Till the end credits I always forget that it's Hugo behind the mask.
Although he annoyed the hell out of me as Elrond (I confess it's BECAUSE he was Elrond) I fell in love with his voice as V.
As Gordon said: Viva la revolution! :D Viva mon amie V!

[@commandercritic9036]

@@tanyawieczorek7943 it’s a famous suit of armour, that’s currently standing in a military museum here in England. It was made for the Field of the Cloth of Gold tourney, a huge party where Henry VIII and his rival the king of France (can’t remember his name, a Phillip maybe, but anyone from France feel free to correct me if I’m wrong), came together in peace, in the hopes that it would create a lasting peace in Europe (ofc it all went pear shaped within a decade of the event).

He reminds me of Joshua Graham from New Vegas, only he quotes Shakespeare instead of the bible. "I don't enjoy killing, but when done righteously, it's just a chore, like any other." "I survived because the fire inside burned brighter than the fire around me. I fell down into that dark chasm, but the flame burned on and on." "I have been baptized twice, once in water, once in flame. I will carry the fire of the holy spirit inside until I stand before my Lord for judgement."

[@team10leader1]

The 1st time I saw V sword-fighting with the armor, I thought it was a training session. Then I see that he's just enjoying a bit of free time. Seeing V has a playful side, it's what makes him stand-out from most anti-heroes. Sometimes, they strike me as no-nonsense types who don't watch TV, don't laugh, and never let themselves have fun. V proves the contrary: Vigilantes CAN have a sense of humor and, as long as they have a dark side, STILL be cool.

[@mikemesser4326]

He's an anti villain, not anti hero.

[@team10leader1]

The Soviet version, The Prisoner of Château d'If (Uznik zamka If) is superior. The end of this version is better. Even the workplace romance of director Georgi Yungvald-Khilkevich with actress Nadira Mirzayeva that played Haydee is more interesting than the cliché romance in the film.The relationship between Georgi Yungvald-Khilkeviche and Nadira Mirzayeva shows that Alexandre Dumas was right about the end of the book.

[@user-sv8ol6vu5k]

In the book, Edmond abandons Mercedes for a younger woman and Natalie Portman's French husband cheats on her with a younger woman. The couple had 2 children and this did not stop their affair. Dumas knows his people differently than Americans and English. The 1979 French miniseries ends the book.
