V For Vendetta is a story based in a future dystopia where the government rules by fear, intimidation, and all-out assault on its people. Enforcing curfews, checkpoints, and destroying evidence of their oppressive nature, the people have had enough and so has their hero, V. Can V channel this distrust for the government and topple their house of cards or will their power be the boot on his neck he can’t remove?
I remember when V For Vendetta hit screens in 2005 and I thought,” It is impressive that Hollywood and government allow these things to be shown,” considering the inspiration and parallels it can draw, but the film is a far more diluted and digestible version. Powerful notions at rest, this movie being based on a comic, isn’t shown in panels, nor is it given much scenery where the protagonist is a god. Instead, it is delivered as if two people connect with a muted population, to take on a shared constraint.
We want to see if the comic and/or movie branded some knowledge into the wrinkles of your brain, by posing some V For Vendetta trivia questions. See if you know other revolutionaries by asking your friends these questions!
