Alright, where to begin? Don't read if you don't want to know what the movie is about.
For one, the setting is near-future England. The people live in a Totalitarian government system, ruled by a pig headed Chancellor Sutler.
The main character V was kidnapped by the government and had to endure medical experimentation. His body was able to adapt to the meds and change him in some way. It was not explained in great detail in the movie, a lot of things weren't so you have have to actually think.
V is an anarchist, who knows the truth of how the current government system got into power, wants to stop them and get revenge (a vendetta) for what was done to him and the others in the detention center he was kept in. He meets a girl Evey Hammond in a sticky situation and saves her. She then joins his crusade and eventually bring down the government.
This movie to me is art imitating life right now, as we move closer to a fascist government system we are like cattle being herded. There are some small groups that want change but, this administration is doing everything but calling martial law for the whole country. Look at gas prices, we have been blatantly lied too over and over again, and there are people in our administration that can't even have a court hearing cuz it's pointless. We already know what there capable of who knows what else there've done.
That's what makes this my favorite movie, cuz the character V doesn't give a shit. He does what has to be done, maybe the experiments made him mental that would make me love him even more. His character is not that of a man named V it is of an feeling an urge to do something. Anyways,
