《V for Vendetta》

如果杀掉一个人就能毁掉一种思想,那么Mr.V的做法和历来的独裁统治者又有何区别?改变世界先从自己开始,然后是身边人,接下来才是整个世界。

影片里描述的社会比小说《1984》里的“极端控制”明显好多了。虽然电影里的社会也有宵禁、当街耍流氓的警察以及更多的为了满足过多的个人私欲及掩盖真相而犯下的罪恶,但人们最终仍能辨别声音、走出家门、寻求正义。

感谢能生活在一个自人类诞生以来科技最发达的时代,一个自由的人能够借由媒体和网络发现世界并按自己的意志了解真相。同时也看到无数的荒唐、欺骗和谎言。说真话真的就那么难么?

原文摘抄,来自imdb.com:

至理名言:
Artists use lies to tell the truth while politicians use them to cover it up. 
If we ran away,they would win.

令人激赏的大段Vvvvvv...:
V: But on this most auspicious of nights, permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace sobriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona.
V: Voilà! In view, a 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 by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
[carves V into poster on wall]
V: 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.
[giggles]
V: Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

Update 100625:

中午重新看了一遍,面对熟悉的情节仍旧激动不已,剧终时更是泪如泉涌。

艺术用谎言来揭示真实,一点没错。

对于V的以暴制暴,只能引用孟子的话来解释:“贼仁者谓之贼, 贼义者谓之残,残贼之人,谓之一夫,闻诛一夫纣矣,未闻弑君也。”


当钟声敲响,爆炸声中懵懂的人们将迎来新世界;当每个勇敢的人摘下遮掩恐惧和困惑的面具,极权的时代终会划下句点。
