Running a video store allows me the advantage of getting my hands on DVDs before they are officially released. I've watched V for Vendetta three times since receiving it from Fed Ex on Friday. I'm obsessed, but moving on...
If you haven't seen the movie - don't read anymore - it'll ruin it for you - you have been warned.
Set aside the theme of terrorism and freedom in this film and focus instead on the love story in V for Vendetta. It is about a father giving his daughter the world, literally, to do with it whatever she sees fit to do.
When, though, in this story do father and daughter know themselves as such? I've watched this movie three times trying to figure this out, but it's tricky because of how the dialog is written. A very clever trick, very carefully plotted by the Brothers Wachowski.
Anyone got any ideas? I need to stop my obsession, take this movie out of my DVD player and get on with my life! ;)

Yes, I would suggest Alan Moore's graphic novel of V. He also created the Watchmen, another you might enjoy. In the movie I don't think there is an explicit point in which the relationship is revealed. So some degree of interpretation is left up to the viewer, which I think makes it all the more sophisticated. I myself saw it as a mentor-type relationship. The reason being because V is fighting for ideas that are bigger than any individual -- freedom, liberty, control, etc. So a defining "father/daughter" or even sexual/romantic relationship would be insignificant compared to what is at stake for the masses. His relationship with Evey seems based, first and foremost, on fighting injustice and executing his plans. My opinion.
But, you saw it a different way. Again, that's what makes it great.

Yeah, you might want to do that last thing...LOL.
I read the book (novelization) before the movie came out, and it never hinted at it...and even after the movie I don't really think that it's that sort of relationship. All I can say is that the relationship between Evey and V comes out as more like that slightly comparable to The Phantom of the Opera.
The way I took it, they were simply two strangers brought together by coincidence. I took it that her father was simply dead. The facility that V was at was for special cases, where they tested different things on the stronger resisters of prisoners, so I thought. Maybe I'm wrong, just my opinion...

I think the world is getting worse as days pass. Whether things happen to America or not, the entire world isn't too far away from being destroyed. It's sad people crave for Power more than Peace.

Hey. Great movie! I haven't seen it since it was in the theaters so I'm at a disadvantage, but I do know that the father knows all along that it's his daughter and incorporated her into his plot. I think it's after he keeps her imprisoned that she realizes who he is.

They never really said it was her father, it was just hinted at. We only know that V was a prisoner/inmate at the same facility as her father, and we're led to assume that it's him. He doesn't remember his past, and was too burned for her to be able to recognize him.

Actually, it didnt say that V is her father. It just explains that V is a prisoner and the 'facility' ( Sorry if im wrong ) and he doesnt remember anything in his past. Sorry if im wrong.
