![]() In the movie, V is far more dashing and sympathetic, like an anarchist Errol Flynn (thanks in part to Hugo Weaving’s amazing voice). Having seen the movie several times before I ever read the book, I can’t help but make a few comparisons. Mr Finch of the Finger (law enforcement) works to discover V’s back story in order to find out who he really is. V is no mere anarchist though: he has big plans for Evey and for England. He takes in a girl named Evey (so glad they aged her up for the movie, because her story line is a bit less creepy if she’s a young woman rather than a teenager, but only a bit) whom he rescues from attackers on the street. The hero (anti-hero?) V serves as a thorn in the side of the government, blowing up buildings and killing off high party officials. ![]() They took this idea to the conclusion that after a nuclear war (supposing that England survived, that is), England would turn fascist right quick. ![]() V for Vendetta is Moore and Lloyd’s response to the upswing in conservatism in 1980s England, still in the Cold War. ![]()
