V for Vendetta

A couple years ago I watched the movie V for Vendetta. I thought it was very confusing, and it was ok. It was on sell for $3 so I thought hey maybe give it another try. I am older now so maybe it will be easier to understand.

It is now one of my favorite movies. The more you watch it the more meaning of the story is portrayed.


One of my favorite part in the movie is when V recites this:

"But on this most auspicious of nights, permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace soubriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona. Voila! In view humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the “vox populi” now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone 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, so let me simply add that it’s my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V."

I am still trying to get a grasp on all of what he is trying to say since the V words are not really common at all. But I understand the gist.
