so as the title states.... WoW i hope it never comes to that... V's speech 20 minutes in could absolutely apply to us now... well maybe not totally .. YET!

havent seen this movie since it came out. and i was not in touch with current affairs then

V for Vendetta Speech - YouTube

lets hope it never goes this far. very reminiscent of that book by the name of 1984

Neocons hate this movie.

They are trying to warn the people about this crap! People really need to wake up.. Bill S.1867

Passed: Americans can be detained without due process Bill - S.1867 - YouTube

Neocons hate this movie.

That is strange! they should love him. The main character is a hardcore Catholic who wants to kill all other denominations and have one world order under the Church.

I actually explained that to Occutards and they had a meltdown.

You're confusing "V" (who is the main character) with Guy Fawkes, whom is the historical figure that V's mask is modeled after and is the center point of the "fifth of November" lore. They're not the same person. V is not a hardcore Catholic.

Just another misinformed neocon...

So why is it that he wears the "face" of Guy Fawkes?

And do me a favor do not call me a neo-con. 100% of neocons will have a caniption fit a brain annurism along with a heart attack and bowel movement when they find out what I do for fun.

 

[Temporaryscars]

He wears the mask because there are a lot of parallels between the two characters. Fawkes' hardcore Catholicism is where the similarities end. I can go into more detail if you'd like.

 

[Petrov]

That makes sense. But still, occutards wear a Guy Fawkes mask, it was a Guy Fawkes mask for centuries.
That is akin to Tea Party folks wearing Che guverra mask.

 

[Temporaryscars]

Not really. In wearing a Guy Fawkes' mask, they're emulating V, not Guy Fawkes. I do see what you're getting at and yes, it's impossible to deny the tinge of irony when you think about Guy Fawkes' motives, but you're missing the bigger opportunity. Instead of pointing out Fawkes' Catholicism, you should be pointing out V's anti-government motives, as many in the occupy (though, lets me clear, not all) movement see government as the solution rather than the problem.

I've seen the same mask worn at tea party rallies.
