Love this movie (i have it on dvd), and I love this speech, and I freaking love Hugo Weaving's Diction!

Tremendous film. The forerunner graphic novel (ie., comic book), from the 1980s, is also v. good (and explains how V blasted his way out of Larkhill, which was a sweet subplot but probably would have slowed the film's tempo).

Mind you, author Alan Moore greatly disliked the film: "[The movie] has been "turned into a Bush-era parable by people too timid to set a political satire in their own country.... It's a thwarted and frustrated and largely impotent American liberal fantasy of someone with American liberal values standing up against a state run by neoconservatives—which is not what the comic V for Vendetta was about. It was about fascism, it was about anarchy, it was about England."[9] --from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_for_Vendetta#Film

Alan Moore can get stuffed. If it had been made while Thatcher was still in power, they could have made the original film. But I suspect he's like Christopher Tolkien, and nothing other than the original book would be acceptable. Sorry, but there were aspects of the original work, like Prothero's doll collection, that would have been unintentional moments of hilarity. He's like those Lord of the Rings fans who hate Jackson's films because Tom Bombidill was dropped.

The movie was great, but the comic was so much superior.

Yes, yes, i'm not saying it was easy to adapt it. I'm plainly and simply stating the comic was better, no more no less.

This is a great speech except for the historical inaccuracy of its interpretation of Guy Fawkes.

Guy Fawkes wasn't for religious freedom, he was for replacing the Protestant establishment of religion with a Catholic establishment of religion.

Or at least that's what I've read. It could be slander.

The movie had the potential to be good but the editing was horrendous, the movie also came across as needlessly protentois , or trying hard to be intellectual wheals actually being quite simplistic.

films like 1984 do things alot better , fare enough this is a comic book type film , but in that case i think it be better if they had made it far more colorful and abstract.

I just watched the movie for the first time tonight. I liked it. I found the ending in particular to be quite satisfying.

It wasn't as deep or cerebral as I was expecting, but ultimately that worked in its favor (as far as I'm concerned), I wasn't particularly in the mood for a dark, cerebral film tonight.

I love the little ditty:
Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
It once again makes me jealous of nations with histories that extend back for thousands of years. It's kinda scary that contemporary Britons are still burning the guy in effigy, even though the whole dispute over which he was going to commit the crime has long since passed.
