Oct 27, 14, I've kind of hated it on subsequent watches because the Spoiler imprisoned Evey. NullPointerException said:. Nov 13, Copenhagen, Denmark. Like it's been mentioned before me: the movie isn't exactly forward thinking, seeing as totalitarian societies are almost always build through the same means of action, but it's certainly unfortunate how the current political climate is full of people, whom all seem perfectly fine going down that route. It's as Hegel said: "the only thing we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history". Gernau Morat Gurgeh Member. Oct 31, 5, Oct 25, 2, Munich. Stumbled upon V for Vendetta Youtube fan video for the movie the other day. Looked down to the comments a saw the uploader, a huge fan of the movie, was an ardent Trump supporter and called people who saw similarities between the movie and whats going on right now morons.

Love V For Vendetta, great movie. Not surprised that people missed the points the story made, I read some of the original graphic novel and I quite liked it too, but the movie just clicks with me a bit more. Probably because I saw that first to be fair. In recent years I have found myself agreeing a bit more with V's tactics, sometimes decorum and compassion don't stop hate, sometimes you have to fight back in a way that they'll understand. The Benny Hill scene is cringey though :. Lightning Count Member. Jan 27, 2, Both the film and graphic novel are great, but there are significant differences V for Vendetta the storyline. Ravelle Member. Oct 31, 9, I didn't care much of it but then again, I didn't really pay attention way back when I watched it.

V for Vendetta movie review & film summary () | Roger Ebert On November 5,Evey Hammondan impoverished sixteen-year-old orphan who has turned to prostitution out of a desperation to survive, tries to solicit a man on Guy Fawkes Night. The man turns out to be a Fingerman, a member of the state secret police. Evey watches helplessly as two more of his colleagues emerge from the darkness and announce their plans to rape and kill her. Suddenly, a mysterious cloaked figure wearing a Guy Fawkes mask rescues her using tear gas and a V for Vendetta disguised as a prosthetic hand. The enigmatic figure, known as V, brings Evey to a safe distance then blows up the Houses of Parliament, destroying it completely and treating onlookers to a pyrotechnics display issuing from the smoldering V for Vendetta. V then takes V for Vendetta to the Shadow Gallery, V for Vendetta underground hideout, which is full of banned materials like art, music, and non-state approved literature. In the safety of the gallery, Evey shares her life story, narrating the sad circumstances of how she lost her parents during the nuclear war of the s, which also decimated the existing order and led to the hyper-oppressive totalitarian Norsefire government that controls London. The focus changes from Evey and V to Eric Finch, a seasoned police detective who heads the police V for Vendetta, which members of Norsefire colloquially refer to as The Nose. The Leader compulsively supervises government activities through the guidance of Fate, a computer surveillance system that has cameras and microphones trained on the people of London. Next, V pushes Bishop Anthony Liliman, the highly corrupt head of Westminster, to eat a cyanide-laced mass wafer after exposing him as a vicious pedophile. His next victim is the skilled doctor Delia Surridge, a medical researcher. Finch sends Almond to Surridge's house, but V manages to kill her before Almond arrives; he then stabs Almond in the hall when Almond discovers his gun is unloaded. Entries in the journal reveal that V was an inmate in Room Five at the Larkhill facility and a recipient of her inhuman medical experiments. V succeeded in destroying and escaping the prison camp and is now systematically executing former Larkhill officers, presumably for the atrocities they have committed. Detective Finch sends his findings to the Leader, who worries that all these seemingly personal vendettas may just be a prelude to a much larger, more crippling anarchist attack. V breaks into the Jordan Tower, forcing Dascombe to broadcast a speech urging the people to rebel against the government. V kills Dascombe and escapes. Finch goes on a forced vacation. Evey Hammond, meanwhile, has been abandoned by V. She starts a relationship with an older man named Gordon. Now that both men are dead, she works as a stripper at the Kitty-Kat Keller. The relative peace that Evey enjoys with Gordon is abruptly ended by Alistair Harper, a Scottish mobster being tapped by Creedy, a member of the Norsefire party. Creedy needs Harper to provide them with manpower—his thugs—in preparation for an uprising he is planning. Harper murders Gordon by stabbing him with a sword through his door. Evey attempts to avenge his death by V for Vendetta Harper outside the Kitty-Kat Keller, but she is captured and trapped before she can pull the trigger. Evey is tortured and cross-examined nearly to the point of breaking. While imprisoned, she finds an old letter secreted in her cell wall. The letter was written by Valerie, a former actress who was imprisoned, tortured, and finally executed because she was a lesbian. The letter speaks of her defiance of the system and it moves Evey to endure her situation. Evey then learns that her imprisonment was all an elaborate ruse set up by V to V for Vendetta her loyalty and provide her with insight into the pivotal incidences that birthed the V persona at Larkhill. V informs Evey that Valerie was a prisoner in Room Four, and that the letter provided him with the inspiration he needed to escape. Evey forgives V for the abuses she received at his hands and V divulges the next step in his grand plan for vengeance: he has hacked into the Fate system V for Vendetta has begun to manipulate Adam Susan, playing with his emotions and mental condition through a series of intricate mind games. Subsequently, Adam Susan has begun to go mad; he feels romantically V for Vendetta to Fate, fawning over its statements like a spurned lover. The year is now In a conversation, V mentions that he seeks to achieve a working revolutionary society that he calls the Land of Do-as-You- Please, but he has not yet realized this dream. His gamble pays off when he infers that V for Vendetta Shadow Gallery is located in an abandoned Victoria line Underground station. In the Underground station, Finch finds a train car full of flowers.

    CLEaR, 2016, 3(2), ISSN 2453 - 7128 DOI: 10.1515/clear - 2016 - 0013 Text and Image in T ranslation Milena Yablonsky Pedagogical University of Cracow, Poland [email protected] Abstract The primary objective of the following paper is t he analysis of selected issues related to the translation of comic books. The paper aims at investigating the relationships between the text and the image and their implications in the process of translation. It reflects on the status of the translation of comics/graphic novels - a still largely unexp loited area within Translation Studies and briefly presents a definition and specificity of the genre. Moreover, it discusses Jakobson’s (1971) tripartite distinction into interlinguistic, intralinguistic and intersemiotic translation. The paper concludes with the analysis of certain issues associated with the Polish translation of V like Vendetta by Alan Moore, a text that is copious with intertextual and cultural references. Keywords: graphic novel, comics, V like Vendetta , Jakobson, constrained translat ion, intertextuality Introduction The translation of comic books still occupies a rather unexploited area within the discipline of Translation Studies, maybe due to the fact that it “might be perceived as a field of l esser interest” (Zanettin 273) and comics are usually regarded as an artistic form of a lower status. In Dictionary of Translation Studies by Shuttleworth and Cowie there is no t a single entry on comics. They refer to them only when they explain the term “multi - medial texts” ( 109 - 1 10) as: “ . The multi - medial category consists of texts in which the ver bal content is supplemented by elements in other media; however, all such texts will also simultaneously belong to one of the other, main text - type .

  • Alan Moore V for Vendetta
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Humanities Commons Early draft of essay eventually published in Sexual Ideology in the Works of Alan Moore Comer 1 “Body Politics: Unearthing an Embodied Ethics in V for Vendetta” Todd A. Comer In light of the oft-made allegation that superheroes are in many respects carbon copies of the fascist world that they were consciously or unconsciously intended to oppose, V for Vendetta may be Alan Moore’s most direct commentary on the superheroic body and its desires. Intimations of fascism, of course, are everywhere in Moore’s work. The German soldier who shatters Alice’s mirror in Lost Girls, William Gull’s bird-like transcendence in From Hell, Superman’s repression of the too-earthy Swamp Thing in “The Jungle Line,” Moriarty’s cavorite- fueled journey toward heaven (and death) in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen—all speak to Moore’s critique of the superheroic tendency to marginalize the world and others. Moore and David Lloyd’s graphic novel is the most direct commentary on the superhero body if only because the body of the hero and villain are obnoxiously present, even as they strangely absent themselves. The novel appears to ground agency to an embodied totalitarian world in terms of (dis)embodiment. Agency is, of course, an issue of the body and its representation, but Moore and Lloyd get it wrong, at least on one overt level, by misunderstanding the ultimate goal of fascism and reproducing a notion of agency that merely reproduces on another level the (ontological) state that it presumes to counter.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} V For Vendetta by Alan Moore Purefoy Abandoned Vendetta Because Of Mask. British actor James Purefoy walked out in his role in V For Vendetta after struggling to wear a mask for the entire film. The A KNIGHT'S TALE star, 41, became so frustrated at having to wear the facial prop until he went to bed at night, he eventually left the terrorist drama and was replaced by MATRIX star Hugo Weaving. He said before leaving the film, "That mask is the thing I'll be wearing through the movie. We'll never see my face. It's a great acting challenge. Wearing that thing takes. a lot of takes. "SPIDER-MAN'S mask comes off. BATMAN'S mask comes off. Even The Elephant Man had eyes. That's all I ask for, just an eye! "Every night I'm in that mask for another three hours when I go home. I have mirrors all over my apartment and I live in it until I go to bed. So my neighbours obviously think I'm mad." Australian actor Weaving admits he can understand Purefoy's annoyance with the mask after taking over the role of V. He says, "I know the difficulties James was having and I was warned by other people. "Certain difficulties with the mask. I just think it can feel very hot. You feel quite. cut off." V For Vendetta Summary. On November 5, 1997, Evey Hammond, an impoverished sixteen-year-old orphan who has turned to prostitution out of a desperation to survive, tries to solicit a man on Guy Fawkes Night.

When the publishers cancelled Warrior in 1985 (with two completed issues unpublished due to the cancellation), several companies attempted to convince Moore and Lloyd to let them publish and complete the story. In 1988 DC Comics published a ten-issue series that reprinted the Warrior stories in color, then continued the series to completion. The first new material appeared in issue #7, which included the unpublished episodes that would have appeared in Warrior #27 and #28. Tony Weare drew one chapter ("Vincent") and contributed additional art to two others ("Valerie" and "The Vacation"); Steve Whitaker and Siobhan Dodds worked as colourists on the entire series. The series, including Moore's "Behind the Painted !

  • Deux Ans De Cinéma En 365 Critiques
    CineRSS : deux ans de cinéma en 365 critiques CineRSS.com ontrairement à l’année dernière où j’avais écrit sur l’expression C cinématographique, j’ai choisi cette année de livrer l’ensemble de mes critiques écrites tout au long des deux dernières années. Au total cela représente trois cent soixante cinq critiques. Une tous les deux jours ! Cet ensemble n’est certainement pas cohérent mais reflète mes errements et découvertes cinématographiques. En fonction de l’humeur de mon degré d’attention, c’était ou bien un film d’action Hollywoodien ou un grand classique du cinéma d’auteur comme je l’ai déjà écrit. Le cinéma est aussi bien une industrie qu’un art. Dans les deux cas, il cherche à divertir. Je pense que l’on peut aussi bien se divertir avec des cascades tellement improbables qu’elles ont été réalisées uniquement derrière un écran bleu ou en faisant plus appel à son intellect. Mais j’ai quand même tendance à préférer où le spectateur est actif. Je pense qu’il est alors nettement plus enrichissant. Cette année a aussi été l’occasion de nouvelles découvertes grâce notamment à deux cinéastes : Robert Bresson et Théo Angelopoulos. Le premier m’a fait découvrir le « cinéma minimaliste ». C’est-à-dire un cinéma dont l’expression est réduite à son strict minimum. Il ne reste alors plus que l’art. D’un autre côté, Théo Angelopoulos a comblé ma « frustration Tarkoskienne ». Andreï Tarkovski n’a réalisé que sept films que j’ai vu au moins deux fois. J’ai aussi beaucoup lu sur ce cinéaste.
