Hugo Weavingis V and in this movie he is going to change your perspective of a peaceful anddeveloped future. The movie is set in a bleak future where politicians take theauthoritarian control of the United Kingdom using fear as a tool.
The movie begins with Natalie Portman as Evey Hammond breaking a governmentcurfew and therefore being repressed by the police of the fascist government presidedby the chancellor Adam Sutler (John Hunt), but, fortunately, a mysterious man with aGuy Fawkes’ mask appears and saves her from the police. After this Evey thanks himand asks for his name, the strange man says to Evey that he want to be called “V” ,Evey starts a conversation with V where he shows her his plan against thegovernment. He wants people remembering Guy Fawkes’ Night and searching a wayout from repressive government and to achieve it, he promises to destroy theParliament Palace one year later.

Finally, I recommend you being seduced by V’s story and taking a side in this reallyshocking plot. This movie could make us reflect about the fact of conspiracy insidegovernments like the implanting of pandemic diseases in order to generate fear, getmoney or have power, for example nowadays diseases such as Ebola, Chikunguñaand Zika make us think is this kind of conspiracy exist. Besides, the movie do a
reflection in terms of authoritarian governments where the people are repressed byfascist dictatorships and the only way to solve this problem is people claim their rightstogether, because people are the masters of governors not vice versa.
