The Explosion of Parliament
I saw this very freaky film on Saturday night on BBC2, called V for Vendetta, in which Parliament is destroyed by a resistance to a totalitarian government, organised by 'V' who is only seen wearing a Guy Fawkes mask. It is quite a sinister, dark watch - albeit with some tremendous special effects. Sort of 1984 meets a serious version of The Three Musketeers - or even Zorro without the humour.
Well worth seeing.

"Voila! In view humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin, vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
ReplyDeleteVerily this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that its my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V."
I love this film! The only sinister aspect of it is the government dictatorship which heroic V and the people fight and destroy.
V would not have stood for the people being denied a Referendum on the EU, in fact V would probably have destroyed the EU parliament too.
Power to the people!
