This film is so much more than a comic book film related to Guy Fawkes. Its intricacies regarding politics, morality, sense of self and what it wholly represents; liberation.
V for Vendetta shares a relationship with anarchy, shown through V's belief in the absence of government. The film depicts a corrupt and totalitarian government in which V aims to destroy.
The symbolism behind the mask is one of utmost genius! V strives for anarchy and freedom and therefore a disbelief in hierarchy. The mask is a perfect representation of this as it implies unity. As the identity of V is never revealed, we understand that the identity is not of importance, the sole importance is the message behind the mask - and the message the mask seeks to tell... We are also invited to observe Evey and V's ever-blossoming relationship, with V's eventual admission of his love for her. It seems strange to fall in love with an onscreen couple where one partner remains masked and unknown, but the way their relationship is built upon yearns for me to have a complete adoration for their deeply personable and honest chemistry.
It matters not what is behind the mask, V's identity lies within his actions.
Every year I watch this film and every year I love it a little more.
Remember remember V for Vendetta...
"Evey, please. There is a face beneath this mask but it's not me. I'm no more that face than I am the muscles beneath it or the bones beneath them." - V
"He was Edmond Dantés... and he was my father. And my mother... my brother... my friend. He was you... and me. He was all of us." - Evey.
