The basis of the film depicts a country in which mass surveillance, and practically no basic freedoms offered to people in the real world are the new norm, this includes censorship, discrimination against religion and discrimination against homosexuality. V, the main protagonist, in a way represents everything a dystopian

In the 2006 film “V for Vendetta” the film’s setting takes place in a futuristic world in which London is a police state and is being controlled by a fascist government. It stars the main protagonist V as he uses terrorist tactics to fight the oppressors of the world in which he now lives. In Aldous Huxley’s essay “The Propaganda Under A Dictatorship,” Huxley expressed how Adolf Hitler used what is known “herd poisoning” to exploit countries for his own personal gain. In V for Vendetta, V, a good

In Watchmen, Moore and Gibbons have a few subplots branching off of the main story. One of these subplots centers on a newsvendor in New York City. A boy sitting close by is reading a pirate comic book, and as the story moves forward, various panels and pieces of text from this comic interposed with the “real” storyline. In this passage of Watchmen Moore and Gibbons utilize the gritty allegory of the Sea Captain in the Black Freighter to foreshadow the ending of the graphic novel and to give the

What happens to Jon Osterman when he transforms to Dr. Manhattan? What happens to Paris when he becomes a prince? How does Dan see himself when he is Dan and when he is Nite Owl? In Watchmen, one finds that the characters constantly switch between their real selves and their roles as superheroes. That internal and external transformation between the characters as humans and the characters as superheroes is shown through different examples in the comic. Additionally, in A Thousand Ships, Paris's

One of the most prominent aspects of V for Vendetta is its use of music for effect. As stated by Donnelly (2005, p.13) the music of a film ‘‘envelopes the audience, bathing it in affect’’. A key moment in the film in terms of the musical composition is in the lead up to the final scene, where we witness the rebellion, under V’s influence, descending on Parliament. During these moments, Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture resounds over the city as well as the audience, allowing viewers to share in the rebellions’

“Columbine” by Dave Cullen presented me with a vast array of knowledge and insight into an incident which I had minimal knowledge of. What very little knowledge I had came from exposure to the incident through classroom discussions from years past, and occasional references to Columbine through media vectors such as television and music. I knew the incident occurred after I was born, but I was unaware of the actual date and far too young to have any sort of recollection in regards to it. I was aware

Corruption, fascism and rebellion are all main ideas in the film V for Vendetta, The director James McTeigue uses these to try and get the audience to think about how these ideas are relevant in modern society. Imagine a world where these these things didn’t exist, where there was no slavery or oppression and how much more peaceful the world would be. The first main idea that the director James McTeigue focused on in the film was Fascism, and was very prevalent throughout the film. This is shown

The story of Watchmen brings into question what it means to be a hero. The comic creates a world where masked vigilantes aren’t necessarily the forces for good that American culture presumes them to be. The “heroes” of Watchmen are morally questionable and often don’t do what most would consider right. Often, these vigilantes create their identities, at least partly, for reasons other than just protecting others. This includes using their identities as a way to wrestle with their feelings on sex

V for Vendetta Anarchy has always been a forbidden fruit to many because of the establishment of some form of government in almost every society across the world. Alan Moore, proclaimed anarchist and author of the graphic novel V for Vendetta, created a world where anarchy and revenge are met with a face and a means of toppling a fascist regime. The main character V is a very intricate and complicated character, often leaving readers confused on whether he is a hero or villain because of his often

throughout the generations, however he varies differently depending on the actor. Three of the best actors are Roger Moore, Sean Connery, and Daniel Craig.
