Product Description

Set against the futuristic landscape of totalitarian Britain, V For Vendetta tells the story of a mild-mannered young woman named Evey (Natalie Portman) who is rescued from a life-and-death situation by a masked man (Hugo Weaving) known only as "V." Incomparably charismatic and ferociously skilled in the art of combat and deception, V ignites a revolution when he urges his fellow citizens to rise up against tyranny and oppression. As Evey uncovers the truth about V's mysterious background, she also discovers the truth about herself - and emerges as his unlikely ally in the culmination of his plan to bring freedom and justice back to a society fraught with cruelty and corruption.

Customer Reviews

“You cannot kiss an idea or hold it…”

Remember, remember the fifth of November. Gunpowder, treason, and plot. I see no reason gunpowder, treason. Should ever be forgotten… In a future society, a caricature of a totalitarian state, a young lady’s eyes are opened to its reality; but the story is about the interaction between the protagonist “V” (Hugo Weaving) and the lady, Evey (Natalie Portman) It is not just straightforward anti-government; it deals with a cabal. As we travel their path, we too may have our eyes opened. I like the inclusion of the soundtrack of “The Girl from Ipanema” appropriately placed. I have watched this movie several times, each time noticing something subtle enough to evade the first viewing. “Ideas are bulletproof”
