V for Vendetta...?

Question

Do you think V for Vendetta is a good movie? Why or why not? If so, do you think that V is a terrorist, or a hero? How come?

Answer 1

I really liked the movie. I thought V was both a terrorist and a hero, which I know is a dangerous stand to take in today's America! He was a terrorist to a "terrorocracy - " a government which ruled it's people via fear. So it's almost like two negative integers equalling a positive one - he fought against an evil government in order to free the countrypeople, and that's really what a hero is. The movie and V's character motivated me to keep a more watchful eye on our government, all things (read: Patriot Act) considered. I'd have stood behind him.

Answer 2

V for Vendatta was a great movie because it explores many subjects about whats right or wrong. V, in his eyes, is doing what is right. Like Voltaire (i think) said "The ends justify the means" V was trying to open the eyes of the british people. So, yes he is a terrorist. But a hero? He was merely an idea of freedom. V didn't save anyone from any villians. (exept Evey, but that was so he had a succesor.) I think the V was also just trying to get revenge on his oppesors. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

This was probably my favorite movie of the year. I liked it because even though it was not action heavy, it still made you think about certain things could snowball into a greater disaster. V was probably both of those things because he wanted to be and he felt what he was doing was the only way.

Answer 4

v is a hero in the eye's of the revolution and a terrorist in the eye's of the government. (did you know that the guy who played v is the same guy who played mr. smith in the matrix?)

Answer 5

it ia a good movie, but sort of confusing..... I"m stilll wondering the samething too about v being a terrorist or not, but I'm leaning towards a no, because he was helping the people
