When I went to the houses of parliament with my sixth form the tour guide told us he would watch this scene when he ever had a bad day so he could see his job being blown up.
I love the fact that Evey didn't remove V's mask when he died even she's so curious about him. She respected his rule and V's true identity will remain a mystery. It's a great movie. 👍
because underneath that mask wasn't a man, it was an idea, and by fulfilling his promise to the people of london, he has transcend his earthly body and become an immortal idea.
@@davecrupel2817 even if he had asked he couldnt answer v had lost his memory by the expirements they did to him 20 years ago in larkhill dr delia wrote to her diary about v the subject could remember who he was or from where he was from
Yep. The whole idea of ideas are bulletproof. They died early in the movie, yet were still a part of the finale. They gave their lives to help make it happen. So they were there until the end.
Carmen Xerxes Her parents “there” to be proud. Her brother so he could be happy to see what she had accomplished. Gordon there to see what his standing up oppression and reaching the masses, Valerie and her partner, and more.
@@indie_princess it’s because people think the government is the most powerful entity when in fact it’s the oligarchic billionaire class that have all the power and they are doing what governments officially can’t do.
@@indie_princess Government make people stupid through school. Soooo, we're not the bad guys here. Just like those "gender student", they thought it's amazing that human have more "gender". And is it gave you more and more realistic thing to learn? No. Is it stupid? Yes. And why people still learn those thing? 'Cause teachers and government thought them to learn that shit. And who got the blame? People. 'Cause human stupidity is beyond infinite.
I love how we see all the people who've died in the crowd. All the people who died from persecution and hatred, all have been avenged by Vs sacrifce. One of my favourite ever films.
@@JakeTheComicBookDude agreed. But it’s funny when the actual sheep of the far Republican Party find any parallels with this. V was resisting all of their policies that they support lmao
No Micheal Bay action movie explosion can ever compare to this, because there is so much power instilled in it. Not just in the awesome way it looks and syncs to the music, but also what it means to the rest of the story. This building represented everything V stood against, and it was all finally coming down
In the graphic novel the Houses of Parliament get blown up on the second page of episode one. The whole story is really about how he brings the rest down, ending with Downing Street.
Probably the most powerful ending to any movie I've seen. When you see the characters that have died, it brings a lump to my throat. V went through all the trouble to avenge them. The lesbian couple brings it home. They were just living life and hatred killed them.
You know what’s a shame? If this movie was made today, it would be called out for being “woke” and “pandering” bc of the lesbians couple. I get a lot of movies today are shoving wokeness down your throat and do a bunch of pandering, but you couldn’t do it today without people winging, even though it’s crazy well done.
@@cbrreezzyy69 Don't think so. This movie uses a great story and set of characters as vehicle for a moral message. Modern movies are like moral sledgehammers with a whiff of character and a cobbled together story. We don't hate the message, we hate how it is delivered to us.
@@cbrreezzyy69 anyone that claims a movie is trying to be woke for having a lesbian couple in it is dumb And most of the people saying that movies today are "moral sledgehammers" or whatever are Moving the Goalpost. Duh, we all want good movies with good representation, but we got to have representation first
@@cbrreezzyy69 Dude there are people out there saying this "speaks so true in 2021/2, FJB" They are using THIS FILM to defend an agenda of "controlling women" and "rolling back LGBT rights" people acting like a certain former President wouldn't have PRAISED the Fingerman that killed the little girl during the mask montage... "YOU HAVE TO TAKE OUT THEIR FAMILIES" ...It's kinda PERVERSE, but what do I expect... I've been an LGBT activist since the late 90s. when I was first starting to come out of the closet in High School. I've seen WORSE
This film needs to be shown to all politicians as a way of saying: "We put you in this office, and we can take you out as well by any means necessary, should you ever dare abuse your power against us." POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
@James Brennan I did not say I supported or even liked Trump. I just said his next term will be biblical. All this drama with election fraud, insane leftist agenda being implemented under Biden and his obvious lack of ability to lead a nation, is designed to make the American people demand Trump's return and even spark a armed conflict. He is a Zionist tool just like every other politician in the west. The plan will work because the psychology behind this has been studied for decades. There are however a growing number of people who see right trough these Zionist strategies and tactics, and we are going to totally change this whole world. Armageddon is coming, you are witnessing the beginning of WW3. All of the news media is fake and we've known it for years. Before Trump and Covid it was normal to distrust the media and politicians, it was a bipartisan thing. Yet now you are branded a conspiracy theorist if you distrust the media or our elected leaders and their appointed "experts". What changed? Nothing but the narrative! .
@James Brennan You did a great impression of a Trump hater, but seriously, you must look at those standing behind the man because his plan/strategy is not hatched by him, but by much more intelligent people. He was chosen to play the part because he has charisma. He is on the same team as Biden.
And yet, 11 years ago, and people (M)asses have learned NOTHING, and in fact most have capitulated to the tyranny and accepted it as the norm. Proudly, I am NOT in this group of sheeple
Truly underrated masterpiece. I was particularly gratified when they avoided the standard trope of her removing the mask and still loving his disfigured, burned, eyeless face. Fantastic performances all around with Mr. Rea's on par with his Citizen X masterpiece.
Such a powerful movie, I still get chills watching this. We're all in there somewhere, and it was all our fault because we let it happen. Stand up for what you believe in or be prepared to lose it.
V for Vendetta is a Great Movie! And the Police officer "Knew" that the corruption Needed to End! So that People could live free from the crooked government.
God damn. No matter how many countless times I keep coming back to watch this ending, it still gets me damn near choked up every time. What a flawless masterpiece of an ending. THIS is how you do an ending...I’m staring at you Game of Thrones.
It has got to be the most thought-provoking movie ending I've ever seen, and it has transpired a single word of a message: "hope". And also when Evey have the chance to unmask V, she chose not to, because she knows that V's identity is more than just a human being in an oppressed world, it is an idea of freedom. The idea that would never dies. Also, in the scene where the citizens started to unmask themselves, there are also a couple of characters who died before that like Gordon, Valerie, Ruth and the girl with glass, appear in the crowd. Which symbolized theie ideas of hope and freedom lives on.
Just ask the people living in the congo if the idea of freedom will never die. Reality is, a dictator only needs to be able to motivate about 10% of the population to follow him to guarantee absolute power. The invention of the machine gun greatly marginalizes the value of *numbers* As technology advances, *the people* matter less, not more. I mean, Biden actually said that he wasn't worried about the people rising up against the government because the government has nukes and fighter jets and the people don't. That really sums it up, doesn't it?
Hope is the true flame from which we all bear in our souls. It can destroy us or be our only salvation but through love and god/Allah whom ever or whatever helps steer your moral compass, never let that go. And always find truth.
You misunderstand. V was not a leader, he hated leaders. He was an anarchist who dreamed of insurrection and helped to bring it about yes, but he was no leader
no one will ever forget that night and what it meant for this country -And I will never forget the man. And what he meant to me. Most powerful ending sentence I’ve heard give me chills
I watch this movie every year on November 5th. It speaks volumes about the world today. 1:27 , 1:46 , 2:18 , and 2:35 I love how the explosions go perfectly with the music.
No matter how many times I see this movie, the ending sends chills down my spine and I cry. Powerful scene with many lessons about our power as a people vs, the government.
It feels like this is what we need in America. We are leading to a totalitarian government. So many people have predicted this moment and I feel like it’s going to happen with the Statue Of Liberty. Quote me 01/05/23.
Philosopher Slavoj Zizek once made a joke that he was ready to sell his own mother into slavery for a sequel to this film. This is because many people flirt with the idea of popular revolution, but the more difficult conversation is how to re-structure society once this revolution has taken place. Unless you have a vision of what form this new society will take, you risk it falling to the same fate as the one which came before it.
I love how when Evey says, "He was Edmond Dantes," Finch just kind of looks at her like, "Oh, honey...you really are crazy." (I know that's probably not what that look meant, but it certainly could be interpreted that way!)
Anyone else read the Count of Monte Cristo and come here just for that one line, "He was Edmund Dantes". Art gives us permission to live a certain way by showing us what it looks like to live that. It puts words to our passions, confirms our desires, and shows us how to go about getting what we want. Gives me chills that line.
That line actually inspired me to reread it. I'd read an abridged version back in middle school. I bought an unabridged version off Barnes & Noble in all its 1000+ pages of glory. The parallels between the characters are clearly evident. The messages are quite different though.
That's how u end a terrific movie, one of my favorite endings to a movie. Great acting by Natalie, love her a lot, just an excellent actress. One of the best out there.
I know we’re supposed to be sad for V, who died moments before, but I can’t help but smile and raise my fist in the air when the fireworks start and Parliament blows up while the 1812 Overture plays triumphantly in the background.
This is such a spectacular & emotive scene for any Brit to watch. I know she got a lot of stick for this performance at the time, but I think Natalie Portman's performance was beautiful in this film!
This is from the news media in China. I would translate for you, but I'll just let google take care of that. FYI, you can use translate.google.com to translate the entire webpage. views.ce.cn/view/ent/201212/19/t20121219_23953515.shtml
@@xiajiayu3443 True, but it was actually banned in China, which is funny considering it can be applied to China more than any other country in modern history.
It actually makes sense why Anonymous took this movie as reference, the narrative as some sort of analogy taking in mind the power of a 'user' in a modern society working perhaps alone or with others to archive something with resources which ain't privative but still controlled
I don’t know if this was intentional but I find it slightly amusing how V dawns a Guy Fawks mask when Guy Fawks himself was a famous revolutionary who died before being able to strike a match stick
Wait...what?!? You don't know if it was intentional?!? I suppose you probably don't know why they specifically chose Guy Fawkes Day, I mean, the 5th of November, to blow up parliament either?!? I mean, I don't know how they could have possibly made the Guy Fawkes connection any more obvious, and intentional at every level, but sure. Well done for spotting it then, I suppose. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
It’s always bugged me that those people are standing way too close to parliament and Big Ben, they would have gotten blown up or crushed by falling debris…
What never ceases to amaze me about this movie is the film makers reversed just about every theme of original story for this movie, and still told an entertaining tale, that in its own way was as entertaining as the original work.
My headcanon is that since they never removed V's mask they're not 100% sure that he's dead. Therefore he may still be barely alive and conscious while on the subway train of explosives. While aware that he is about to die he can at least do so with the satisfaction that his plans will certainly succeed and he will leave this mortal coil completing what Guy Fawkes set in motion so many years before.
@@sofiu-v3p as long as politicians hold diplomatic immunity IN THEIR OWN COUNTRIES you can complain to the goverment officials all you want. They decide what is and isnt just.
We, as the people of the WORLD, have to keep the powers at be in check. This is OUR world. may god/Allah bless all of you, and may their flame of hope never die
What some say who speak of the tales of utopia vs. dystopia is that this was one of the key sparks of rebellion against the dystopian future that the crazies, Lowlifes and anarchists fear the most ….the normal people taking back their futures sparked by one heroes plan succeeding….
Isn't that the point of this scene though? That V is supposed to be everybody? We don't need a V figure; we need to recognize that we ARE V, if can just find the courage.
Not one moment of the finale is anything but perfection. I remember when it was brand new, and some people mistook the dead characters showing up in the crowd as a goof. I can understand it might be too subtle for some, but c'mon. The symbolism of their appearances is just sublime. The victims are being honored. Their memories will remain. Their suffering won't be in vain, for they helped in their own way and will stand in time as examples. It's specially good, to put those last four people in the end: Dietrich, the little girl that was shot for painting a wall and sparked the riots. And last of all, Valerie and her girlfriend. I'm sure Valerie's letter was the primary inspiration, for V to go beyond personal revenge. To enact justice for everyone. To BECOME everyone.
Anonymous is nothing like what "V" was doing at all, they are just hackers.. That when everyone did take a stand and march across the nation what difrence did it make? NONE at all if you ask me, everything is still the same everywere you go, there are no heros all there is ,is ,work, go home, have bills, be too busy with other things in life were you cant and wont be able too stand up, all the weapons gagdets that the goverment has had for decades but barley finally showing them off to scare people also filling the jails.. There is no heros, only failures with dreams that wish..

Of course not! They're scared! They think they're gods and badasses but they're just nerds behind a keyboard. Why else would they despise their voice in "messages" they do. They steal logic from a movie. So no, they won't rebel. They'll just hack stupid websites, trying to send a message
