“People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.” This was said by V, played by Hugo Weaving. That’s exactly how V felt about the government. He was defiantly not afraid of the government. I would give this movie 2.5 out of 5. I didn’t enjoy this movie very much because it was very hard to understand right from the beginning. Also the genre, sci-fi/thriller, is not a genre that I particularly like.
Evey Hammond, played by Natalie Portman, has been captured by V, after V blows up the Old Bailey. He takes her to his lair where she is supposed to stay there till the 5th of November, which is one year later. V then broadcasts himself on TV all over Britain, revealing his plan to destroy the Houses of Parliament on the fifth of November. When the police raid the building, Evey is there to help V escape. Evey has already been recognized as being at the scene of the Old Baileys destruction.
I really don’t think that most of the movie was very realistic. Having someone that did a horrible crime, and who said when he will do another crime, is somehow never caught when the government had plenty of chances to get him. Although I did not like the movie I would recommend the movie to others. I thought that it was very creative how they incorporated the number 5 and the letter V into the movie. The storyline was pretty good and I thought the Natalie Portman did a great job in the movie.
