V for Video
Dec. 24th, 2007 06:12 pm"V For Vendetta" has for a while now been my fave movie and (graphic)novel.
One of the things that made V so pleasurable to watch, was the fact that he had been played by the wonderful Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith? Mitzi?) and the Speech where he introduces himself to Evey (Natalie Portman), which doesn't appear in the Novel (then again, the beautiful scene where V calls Justice a whore isn't in the movie, so *shrug*).
Embedded is the Speech, which is very difficult to understand (and learn) so someone carefully subtitled V so that we can understand him better.
Thanks to

And thus, as they say...
The rest is about how he failed and particularly insulting towards Catholics and thus has no place in this celebration of subversiveness *grin*.
The complete (and non-PC) poem you can find here, the actual wording and rhyming is actually entertaining, but like many things it has fallen out of favour and perhaps it's better that way... so long as we can always find them when we want to.
Even Neil advocates the Fifth.
And now for something ( completely different! )
And thus, as they say...
Remember, remember the fifth of November,
gunpowder, treason and plot,
I see no reason why gunpowder treason
should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes,
'twas his intent
to blow up the King and the Parliament.
Three score barrels of powder below,
Poor old England to overthrow
