Name that movie!?

Question

The building is a symbol, as is the act of destroying it. Symbols are given power by people. Alone, a symbol is meaningless, but with enough people, blowing up a building can change the world.

Answer 1

V for Vendetta

Answer 2

The Fountainhead. 1949.

Written by Ayn Rand based on the book of the same name from 1943.

Originally, your description is quite similar to how the movie was sold, according to my memory of old documentaries.

I haven't seen either V for Vendetta, or Fountainhead.


By the way, the wiki citation has a plot spoiler, and it is an interesting book, albeit quite lengthy.


Edit: The longer I look at the details of your question, the more I think they are Ayn Rand's words.

Answer 3

"V for Vendetta" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0434409/quotes

I like this one better:

"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."
