At that time, British society was under the high pressure of totalitarian rule, and social roles such as homosexuals and infidels could not be tolerated, and the people survived under the dark regime. This night, the young woman Ivy (Natalie Portman) is in danger, but thanks to the help of V (Hugo Viven Hugo Weaving). V is a mysterious man who always wears a mask, with high intelligence and extraordinary combat power. Inheriting the mission of the former revolutionary hero, V, in order to overthrow the absurd totalitarian ruling class, let people recognize the government that fooled them, and understand the darkness behind the government, he set up a mysterious underground organization, assassinated one important government personnel after another, destroyed London's landmark buildings, and ignited the raging fire of the anti-government. Ivy and V have in-depth contact, not only learned of V's mysterious mission, but also gradually discovered their own origins, and slowly recognized the darkness of the government during a period of time with V, and slowly fell in love with V, destining themselves and V to be the same front.
The movie is a bit like a revolution and a bit like revenge
The influence of the vast majority of the audience is the strange mask, what is hidden behind the mask, what is the purpose of V, and constantly assassinating those government officials who have harmed themselves, as the plot develops, it also slowly exposes the back of the government, greed, slaughter, cruelty, experimenting with living people... V is also in revenge and revolution, reborn in the prison fire, preaching the V spirit in society, exposing the darkness of the government.
"Artists tell the truth with lies, politicians cover up the truth with lies"
Now, in a society where masks can't be said goodbye, let's listen to V's voice once again: "Who?" It doesn't matter who I am... The important thing is that I am a person with a mask. "V is a victim of dictatorship and despotism, a pathetic fugitive and a born-again in purgatory. And in the catastrophe of dictatorship and despotism, virtually everyone is a V, and there is no need to distinguish between him or her. All of them, all of him and all of her, are victims of politics. The only difference: whether it is a painful death in a disaster or a difficult rebirth. This movie is a rare classic! All kinds of evils under the mask of religion, the trampling of human nature, unequal sexual discrimination, shameless and despicable government actions... It's all disgusting and despised by the people! In the end all people put on masks; that is, all people shared the spirit and ideals of V. V is dead, but also alive. Because, all of them, have become V. All people are taking to the streets for freedom and ideals, towards the muzzle and cannons of dictatorships and despots. Death that does not die in silence erupts in silence ~ Anti-government acts since ancient times are all like this ~ It is worth pondering!
