V for Vendetta

Last night I watched V for Vendetta (2006) a sci-fi movie set in the near future which combines 1984 and The Mark of Zorro with Guy Fawkes. Britain has become a totalitarian state preaching "Strength Through Unity; Unity Through Faith". Up pops a superhuman Zorro named "V", who uses knives instead of a rapier. He shaves Natalie Portman's head to reveal the most beautiful skull I've ever seen. Then she blows up the Houses of Parliament. Now I know why all those teenagers are camping in Wall Street and outside St Paul's Cathedral and various other places around the world, wearing the same V mask. They want to topple the Establishment. Ho, ho, ho. This isn't a movie, kids. The St Paul's mob have forced the resignation of three Church of England fat cats who are confused about Jesus and think he was the first socialist, not the son of God. Greedy bankers? Forget it. Remember Lorenzo the Magnificent (1449–1492) the father of them all.
