V for Vendetta


I’d personally say that this mind-blowing film would be thriller, action, sci-fi and romance; because, yes, V was dark and mysterious throughout the whole film, he would kill civilians (police officers, members of the government,) and all that was because of the love he had for the public, he wanted Freedom for not just him but for the whole country that he lived in. V rebelled against the Government for this freedom, V wanted payback for all the pain they had caused families, to Valerie, to himself and to Evie.

Behind that black cloak and artfully coloured mask was a man with a heart, a man who was treated in the most ugly way by the Government, to which, eventually he saved himself from the pain, the ugliness, from the burning building, with that, however, he ended up with scars to show his triumph. In addition, he ended up falling in love with Evie, the girl who was with him throughout the process. The one who he showed his desire to show the country how they should get revenge, how they should get revenge on the Government for what they had done. V trusted Evie and V wasn’t alone with looking for Freedom, Evie wanted revenge for what the Gov had done to her Mother, Father and Brother. In-fact, all in all, when you see the sea of V masks at the end envelope the Country’s city state, you notice how many people actually wanted revenge and most of all freedom.

When you look closely at the film, you can see the tension rising, especially when Evie goes out after curfew and gets trapped by those two men. In that scene, the camera jumped from each man after each sentence they had finished. This tension explodes when V enters onto the scene to save her, which instantly makes us, the watcher think ‘What is this ludicrously looking man doing appearing out of nowhere?’ but then we come to find, he’s actually a hero/villain who means no harm to the kind, public. Also in most of the scenes when V is rivalled against members of the Government or Police, it usually takes place in the dark and has slow motion sword throwing and fast police shootings.

V’s character throughout the film shows intelligence and wit, his crafty ways helping him plot the most obscene murders. This although changed to remorse after he had sent Evie into imprisonment to show her what it was like to go through, seeing as he’s been through it, he wanted to show her that she can get rid of all fear. Also, as much as he didn't know of it at first (from my point of view), his actions towards Evie were of one in a relationship, he saved her and kept her healthy, what he did was show love towards her as he dies. 

Even though V thought of himself as nothing, just a man in a mask who has to save his country, he realises that he actually does have a heart, a heart made for Evie, to the women he fell in love with. All because he could trust her, the key points to a relationship.

All in all, V for Vendetta is about freedom, beliefs that you should stand up for, the gunpowder plot and romance.
