Annotation: In a near future the world takes a complete turnaround. Full with disease, war, and an economic meltdown a repressive totalitarian government starts to take over Great Britain. But, there is one man who will not let this happen. “V” a man who escapes unjust captivity vows to take revenge on all those who tortured him. V becomes a “terrorist” to help open the eyes of his country. While on his way to perform his first terroristic attack; V saves the life of Evey, who is about to be raped …show more content…

The government lied and brought fear onto everyone. They reported that they were looking for a cure for the virus they spread at St. Mary’s. The people were so happy that Norsefire found a cure that they elected them into office. In order to keep their people from getting worried or going on V’s side the news reported that V’s “organization” had spread the virus that claimed the life of many. Because of the extreme censorship all programs were taped and approved before being put on T.V. All political, sexual, and or religious, views not in line with the rules were banned. Anyone who protested against it was usually captured during the night by finger men taken in for interrogation and tortured until they died. The government also kept a “black list”, for all music that could never be played or listened to as the Chancellor did not like it.

He used to say that artists use lies to tell the truth, while politicians use them to cover the truth up.” (V for
