In the film V for Vendetta by David Lloyd and Allan Moore, the government has complete control, they can do what they want when they want, and no one can do anything about it. The people of London have very little freedom. V was part of a experiment that was done on many humans being in the act to try to create biological warfare. V was not happy with this so he set the lab, were the experiment was being done, on fire. He was able to escape but he was badly burned all over. He lives his life behind a mask, and is able to pull off acts to prove that the government doesn't have as much power ask they think. He start off with blowing up the Old Bailey. After this he broadcasts a message say that in one year, Novermber 5th, he will blow up the Parliment building. A team of decetives spends a year trying to figure out who V is and catch him before Novermber 5th. Throught out the movie tells Evey, a women who she saved from being thrown in jail for being out after curfew, about why he's doing what he is doing. He tells her that he is speaking for the people, he's showing the people that the government doesn't have as much control as they think and that as people, everyone has freedom. As the movie goes on people start to join his side, and on the 5th of Novermber everyone in London dresses up as V and storms the military surronding the Parliment building. The military is given orders not to shoot anyone, and everyone dressed as V just walks trought the military that lines the streets. This shows in many ways that sometimes things aren't what they seem. The Government through that they had full control of everyone in the city, but it turns out they were wrong. It also shows that 1 person can start a movement. V to everyone his point and said that no matter what, he was going to prove that people can't be run by government, more and more people started to join his team, to prove that the government doesn't have full control. V for Vendette proves that the will to be able to live freely as a person runs deeper and stronger then any control that a government has.
