V for Vendetta Booklet 1 Ms Paine 11 ENGLISH 2014 BOOKLET 1 V For Vendetta Film Study BOOKLET 1 Name ____________________________________________________ The material in these worksheets have been adapted from the Artermis Film Guide for V for Vendetta written by Judy Lewis. <http://www.artemis-film-guides.com/ accessed on 21st July 2014> 1 Introduction Enjoyable, smartly designed and superbly acted thriller that actually gives you something to think about while you’re watching stuff get blown up. – Matthew Turner V for Vendetta is based on the graphic novel of the same name. It first appeared in 1981, in Warrior, an independent monthly comic magazine, and quickly captured a cult following. Co-created by Alan Moore and David Lloyd, it ran in 26 issues before the magazine folded, leaving fans hanging mid-plot. After a five-year hiatus, Moore and Lloyd completed V for Vendetta in 1989, and it was released in its entirety as a graphic novel. Andy and Larry Wachowski, the inspired minds behind The Matrix (and, alas, its uninspired sequels), were fans of Moore and Lloyd's original work, and first wrote a screen adaptation of the graphic novel in the mid-1990s, before embarking on the Matrix trilogy. During post-production on the second and third instalments of The Matrix, the Wachowskis revised the Vendetta script and offered the directing task to their first assistant director, James McTeigue. "V for Vendetta, more fun and less self-referential than those appalling Matrix sequels, is an action film that is not afraid to stop for thoughtful debate, a wry laugh or a lesson on how to fry an egg for a pretty girl," says Peter Travers of Rolling Stone. McTeigue describes V for Vendetta as a political thriller first and foremost, with a very dark and multifaceted character at its centre. "On one hand, V is altruistic, believing he can bring about great social change, but on the other hand he has a murderous vendetta towards anyone who's done him wrong." Revisions to the graphic novel included moving the story further into the future, streamlining the very complex storyline, altering Evey's background and making her older than in the original material. "The graphic novel is quite sprawling and has a lot of characters," McTeigue said. "Some of those characters had to be amalgamated or taken out, but all the while we made sure we were adhering to the themes and integrity of the graphic novel." Guy Fawkes provided inspiration for the comic's political context. "Guy Fawkes was a kind of early anarchist," says Lloyd. "He seemed to be the perfect inspiration for V." Like The Matrix, V for Vendetta was forged from a variety of influences, but its connection to The Matrix is particularly strong. Both take place in dystopian futures with oppressive regimes that filter their citizens' perceptions. Both follow warrior mentors with predilections for pseudo-philosophical verbosity who rescue young protégés from the hands of the regime's foot soldiers and train them to fight the government. Both involve purification rituals where the protégés replace their fancy clothes and beauty salon hairdos with tattered rags and shaved heads. In adapting V for Vendetta, the Wachowskis made it more Matrix-like: no one else would have rewritten the ending to include an intricately choreographed fight scene in a dingy underground tunnel – complete with slomo digital effects – between V and an army of identical, black-clad soldiers. V for Vendetta is the most astonishing movie to come from a major studio in a long time, not for the quality of its production – there are highs and lows in that area – but for the radicalism of its ideas. The film argues that bad governments must be overthrown, and that violent means are sometimes necessary; that Western democracy is heading towards fascist dictatorship and that the "war on terrorism" is taking us there; that blowing up large public buildings is sometimes the right thing to do. … What I loved about V for Vendetta is the way it attacks the apparatus of state terror with a series of brilliantly elegant ideas. When all of Sutler's forces are looking for him, V floods the population with Guy Fawkes masks. He can then move freely, in a society desperate to show its dissent. And that's how you would embolden people in the age of facial recognition technology – with masks. If Guy Fawkes masks do not turn up in the next round of anti-globalisation demonstrations, I'll be very surprised. What I loved about McTeigue's direction is the intensity of his feeling for the material. This is a passionate, angry, incendiary film… I think this film will galvanise a lot of young viewers, because they can see all the parallels, from Evey's ordeal in a prison cell, which deliberately evokes Abu Ghraib, to TV "news" that's simply propaganda for war. Yes, the movie is too long, and given to repetition, but who cares? It's exciting, unpredictable, and an inversion of the language of the powerful. People will call it irresponsible and perhaps it is, unless you believe audiences are smart enough to think its arguments and metaphors through for themselves. – Paul Byrnes, Sydney Morning Herald In the Wachowski update, England is a police state ruled by Chancellor Sutler, a fear-mongering, gay-bashing, Islam-hating dictator who strips citizens of their civil rights and religious freedoms in exchange for protection from bio-weapons of mass destruction. Some see parallels here to BushWorld. Come on. The chancellor, as acted to the hilt by Hurt, can't be W – Sutler's hyper-articulate. – Peter Travers, Rolling Stone V for Vendetta represents 2006's first memorable motion picture – a visually sumptuous concoction that combines political allegory, bloody action, and a few stunning cinematic moments into a solid piece of entertainment. … And if there are times when V for Vendetta is overwrought and chaotic, those lapses are easily forgotten in the midst of the rousing nature of the experience… There are plenty of ideas. Some would argue that's what the screenwriters, the Wachowski Brothers, are best at – giving viewers things to think about. Although there's a fine line between smart material and over-the-top hokum, V for Vendetta mostly stays on the right side of the demarcation. The movie asks questions about the price we're willing to pay by giving up freedom to feel safe (a far cry from "Give me liberty or give me death!"), and argues that the term 'terrorist' is defined by perspective. – James Berardinelli 2 Characters and Cast Natalie Portman Evey Hammond Roger Allam Lewis Prothero Hugo Weaving V Ben Miles Dascomb Stephen Rea Eric Finch Sinéad Cusack Delia Surridge Stephen Fry Gordon Deitrich Natasha Wightman Valerie John Hurt Adam Sutler John Standing Bishop Lilliman Tim Piggott-Smith Creedy Eddie Marsan Etheridge Rupert Graves Dominic Clive Ashborn Guy Fawkes Useful Background Guy [Guido] Fawkes has not been forgotten but few of those who build bonfires and burn guys on November 5 remember his 'cause' and just what they are celebrating. And it was not the cause of a 'great citizen', as V describes him. On the contrary. Fawkes and his 12 fellow conspirators planned to blow up Parliament – killing not just the king but much of the entire ruling class of England – not in the name of religious freedom but to return the Catholic faith to England, and so denying religious freedom to the country's Protestant majority. Fawkes himself had been brought up Protestant but was converted at age 16. He spent many years fighting for Catholic Spain on the continent, and was put in charge of the practical implementation of the Gunpowder Plot because of his experience with explosives. By March 1605, he had planted 36 barrels of gunpowder – enough to obliterate half of London – in a cellar underneath the Parliament Buildings. Protestant/Catholic tensions at that time were about more than religion. Catholic France and Spain were trying to subjugate England, and there were English Catholics who would have preferred a foreign Catholic ruler to a British Protestant one. So the division in the new United Kingdom was about more than religion – it was as much about national identity. The practice of referring to people as 'guy' or 'guys' began shortly after Fawkes was made famous by the Gunpowder Plot. In 18th century England, the term was originally used to refer to an effigy of Fawkes, which would be paraded around town by children on the anniversary of the conspiracy; they would raise money for fireworks by asking, 'Penny for the guy?' This practice continued at least until the 1980s. The story of Fawkes was part of the inspiration for the graphic novel that provided the basis for this film. The book and film both demonstrate that Fawkes is still linked with anarchy in the popular imagination just as he was in the 17th century, though in many modern depictions he is given heroic qualities. The rehabilitation of Fawkes began in 1842, when William Harrison Ainsworth wrote an historical novel called Guy Fawkes, which portrayed Fawkes in a sympathetic light and began to challenge the official depiction of the plot. The suggestion that Fawkes was "the only man to ever enter parliament with honourable intentions" may have originated in a 19th-century pantomime, and was commonly seen on anarchist posters during the early 20th century. The Houses of Parliament destroyed in the film are not the same buildings which the Gunpowder conspirators planned to destroy in 1605. The original Parliament buildings were destroyed in a fire in 1834. The current buildings – correctly called the Palace of Westminster – are built on the same site and took 30 years to build, finishing in 1870.

  • “Why So Serious?” Comics, Film and Politics, Or the Comic Book Film As the Answer to the Question of Identity and Narrative in a Post-9/11 World
    ABSTRACT “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD by Kyle Andrew Moody This thesis analyzes a trend in a subgenre of motion pictures that are designed to not only entertain, but also provide a message for the modern world after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The analysis provides a critical look at three different films as artifacts of post-9/11 culture, showing how the integration of certain elements made them allegorical works regarding the status of the United States in the aftermath of the attacks. Jean Baudrillard‟s postmodern theory of simulation and simulacra was utilized to provide a context for the films that tap into themes reflecting post-9/11 reality. The results were analyzed by critically examining the source material, with a cultural criticism emerging regarding the progression of this subgenre of motion pictures as meaningful work. “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Communications Mass Communications Area by Kyle Andrew Moody Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2009 Advisor ___________________ Dr. Bruce Drushel Reader ___________________ Dr. Ronald Scott Reader ___________________ Dr. David Sholle TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ..........................................................................................................................

Luís Silveiro Dissertação orientada por Doutora Teresa Cid MESTRADO EM ESTUDOS INGLESES E AMERICANOS (Estudos Norte-Americanos: Cinema e Literatura) 2010 Abstract The current work seeks to contrast the book version of Alan Moore and David Lloyd‟s V for Vendetta (1981-1988) with its cinematic counterpart produced by the Wachowski brothers and directed by James McTeigue (2005). This dissertation looks at these two forms of the same enunciation and attempts to analise them both as cultural artifacts that belong to a specific time and place and as pseudo-political manifestos which extemporize to form a plethora of alternative actions and reactions. Whilst the former was written/drawn during the Thatcher years, the film adaptation has claimed the work as a herald for an alternative viewpoint thus pitting the original intent of the book with the sociological events of post 9/11 United States. Taking the original text as a basis for contrast, I have relied also on Professor James Keller‟s work V for Vendetta as Cultural Pastiche with which to enunciate what I consider to be lacunae in the film interpretation and to understand the reasons for the alterations undertaken from the book to the screen version. An attempt has also been made to correlate Alan Moore‟s original influences into the medium of a film made with a completely different political and cultural agenda.

    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.

  • Q33384 William Blake and Speculative Fiction Assignment 2
    Commentary on the Adaptation of Blake’s America: A Prophecy into a Series of Murals Inspired by Northern Irish Political Art and Popular Art Within the Graphic Novels of Alan Moore and Bryan Talbot. Joel Power 1 Overview Blake’s America: A Prophecy is a response to great social and political upheaval present at the end of the eighteenth century, and what Bindman calls a ‘revolutionary energy’2 in America and France. My mural adaptations focus on plates 8-10, a dialogue between this ‘revolutionary energy’, personified by 1 My images as they would appear in situ. 2 David Bindman, in William Blake, America a Prophecy, in The Complete Illuminated Books, ed. by David Bindman (London: Thames and Hudson, 2001), p. 153. INNERVATE Leading student work in English studies, Volume 8 (2015-2016), pp. 233-241 Joel Power 234 Orc, and Urizen in the guise of Albion’s Angel, before the poem turns into Blake’s ‘mythical version’3 of the American War of Independence. The genre of murals, as with those in Northern Ireland, create narratives ‘rich in evocative imagery’ presenting ‘aspirations, hopes, fears and terror’,4 telling of stories and legends between the past, present and future. The rebellious nature of the medium makes it an apt vehicle through which to adapt Blake’s work. Enriched with graphic imagery and intertextuality from Moore’s Promethea, Watchmen, V for Vendetta, Swamp Thing and Talbot’s The Adventures of Luther Arkwright, the three murals form part of a larger scale urban project which would reveal itself on city walls over a period of time, creating drama and intrigue.

  • From Pink to Red. V for Vendetta : Trans and Queer Resistance, Straightened Out
    From pink to red. V for Vendetta : trans and queer resistance, straightened out. Camille Akmut December 9, 2019 Abstract A gender-bending, queer, books and roses loving hero restored. The original work is introduced, successive erasures highlighted. 1 Introduction : queer heroes end up strangled Created (over) forty years ago, V for Vendetta has known a strange fate. Through various new editions, one film adaptation, and following pop culture re-appropriations, gradually most if not all traces of queer and transgender identities have been erased from Alan Moore's first hero. But, readers of "Vol. 1 of X" of the 1988 color original couldn't have been mistaken : they did not need much sense for imagination to come to other, very different conclusions... The cover let them know as much : "V FOR VENDETTA" appeared in boldest of pink. Black leather straps, make-up, a woman's wig, an expansive zebra carpet and even a chandelier (!). (Not even Sebastian's dresser was likely as camp, and a young Boy George's room must have looked not too different { when they had one.) It warned, in pink too : "for mature readers only". The introduction from 1988 (1981 reproduction?) came in defense of homosexuals and criticized the stigmatization of AIDS in Thatcher's England. In the 1990's edition, that introduction was replaced with a more main- stream and acceptable story about an episode of Lloyd at a bar, and references to the barman's wife. The original foreword was pushed back... The 2005 Hollywood movie starred glamour girl Nathalie Portman and returned 100 million$.

The first new material appeared in issue #7, which included the unpublished episodes that would have appeared in Warrior #27 and #28.
