MARVELous M said:This was a great movie. Smart writing/plot and good surprises.
Kevin Roegele said:To emphasise the similarity between V and Gordon, superficially to make the viewer think, "Hey, maybe he's V!"
And, by the way, we in Britain do not eat, 'Eggy in a basket". Never in my life have I even heard it mentioned. As Alan Moore complained about.
The Question said:Slinger, just to tell you, the book is much more pilitically sophisticated. I thinl, at least. Brings up all sorts of political philosophies that aren't even mentioned in the film.
OK I got into a debate with my friend over the ending...well, close enough to it...when Finch (Stephen Rea) speculates on what could happen...the little girl getting shot, the nieghborhood confronting the officer who did it, then riots...so...did that part happen? I said no...and that the big give away is the little "bollocks" girl was shown in the crowd with her V mask watching the fire works. But I thought going with the obvious choice was missing out on some of the symbolism during Evey's narration..."He's me, he's you, he's my my father and my mother..."
thoughts?
