text: New entries at the bottom.[[foldercontrol]][[folder:Kidnapping]]* Okay, at the start, V kidnaps Evey. This is revealed at the end to be so she can become his successor as V, when V the Terrorist is no longer needed and the symbol of V instead needs to act as a guide and aid during the reconstruction after the collapse of the government. At the end, Evey kidnaps her own protege... but what will she need ''him'' for? Is she grooming him in case things go wrong and they need V the Terrorist again instead of V the Rebuilder? Just so that there will be someone to take up the identity if something happens to her? Something more arcane? Don't really follow that bit.** IIRC, somwehere in the comic it said that the progression to true anarchy take 4 steps, V is step 1, Evey represents step 2. So they would end up needing 4 V figures in total. Or, maybe V just wanted an assistant (''Doctor Who'' style). And the kidnapping is a good way to book end the story and symbolize Evey's transition to V (English class answer).** I don't really see the problem with keeping a spare in case something goes wrong. Or better yet, if Evey is the rebuilder, then the next V should be the leader after rebuilding, the one who leads in the time of prosperity.** But isn't the whole point of anarchy a lack of a need for leaders?** V doesn't want a LASTING anarchy, he wants anarchy in order to usher in a new government. His job was to tear down the existing system and he left it to Evey to help build a new one. Presumably somone other than Evey would need to lead it. ** You're either thinking of the movie or you've missed what V and Anarchy are all about. The entire idea of Anarchy is ''no'' leaders and no top-down government of any kind, regardless of whether it's ostensibly democratic or a dictatorship; all of society is to be based on voluntary cooperation and all decisions are made from the bottom up, with the highest focus on individual freedom and the rejection of anyone's right to control and make decisions for anyone else. Or at least that's what V would be all about if he is modeling his philosophy after real world Anarchism; the comic never gets that in-depth into it. Suffice it to say, for V, [[AnarchyIsChaos Anarchy is almost certainly not chaos.]]** For is not to be chaos you'd have to get a lot of people willing to cooperate. I don't see it.** Then congratulations, you're not an anarchist. But just because you don't see it doesn't mean it's incorrect; that is the basis, in broad strokes, of anarchist theory. The idea expressed in V is that to reach the point were people will be willing to cooperate at that level, first the old order must be destroyed (by V) and then people will have to learn how to be civil and respectful of others (which is Evey's role).** Keep in mind the person Evey kidnaps is Dominic, who's currently the head of the country. ** I both watched the movie and read the comic. The cooperation you describe is what V visualizes, but it isn't government. It's not government without leaders or without the ability to coerce. Part of V's point is that there can be order born out of voluntary cooperation without the people needing to be forced into it by a government. You are right anarchy is not chaos in his view; hence the scene with all the looting where Evey asks if that is what anarchy is, and he says that it is not anarchy, but chaos. V doesn't want a new government after an era of anarchy; he wants permanent anarchy after the necessary era of chaos. And in an anarchist world, according to V's view, leaders are not necessary.** Leadership is not necessarily enforced by government. A figure who leads by voluntarily persuading lots of people to follow his example and teachings is consistent with anarchism. That's the role Evey is apparently stepping into, and she may feel that there will always be a need for someone to fill that role.** V's idea of Anarchy is very close to it's orginator's, Mikhail Bakunin. Even to the point of NOT wanting a massive bloody revolution (though some violence is necessitated) like his contemporary Marx insisted on. But to me the V figure (and it's procession of bearers) is necessary less as a leader and more as a guide to prevent some new group of authoritarians from gathering and subjugating the people again. The four steps as I would see them would be 1: Revolution 2: Rebuild 3: Renaissance 4: Revolution. Every so often the new V would have to go about tearing up all the systems again and starting over from scratch. "Whatever the form of government may be/A class restricted society/Will be the end result/No reformation without revolt" Against All Authority, Bakunin** V never said that Evey had to be the only one in assisting them in rebuilding society, just that she was a rebuilder whereas he was a destroyer. Nothing preventing Evey from getting a little help - after all, there is a whole new order being brought in...** Isn't the point kind of that V is handing over to Evey and, through her guidance, society as a whole, the choice of whether they want government?** I just figured that there being a new apprentice was part of the circular nature of the story, and ties in nicely to V being a symbol and an idea. V could have been anyone and he can be everyone, and I think the idea of there always being a successor is that the character lives on, because, y'know, you can't kill an idea.[[/folder]][[folder:Surveillance]]* The film version plays fast and loose with the level of surveillance available to the government; understandable because there would otherwise be no plot: If the government has total surveillance as the plot indicates, even a single appearance of V could be traced back to its point of origin through the simple expedient of running the tapes back.** He mainly appears on rooftops, where presumably there are no cameras.** The government's main form of surveillance is not cameras, but electronically monitoring communications and using mobile listening posts to literally "hear" what people are saying. These methods are intended to spy on the populace to prevent dissent, not to track down fugitives. Plus, seeing as how V always seems to be CrazyPrepared, he most likely has ways of eluding or countering government surveillance tech.** In the comic book, V had hacked their supercomputer Fate. I'm not sure, but I think it's implied he did it in the movie too.[[/folder]][[folder:Surviving Larkhill]]* How did V not die after he was burned at Larkhill? He obviously couldn't have received any medical attention, and Delia says that as far as she could see, ''he had no eyes''. And as far as the viewer can see, he seemed to have, uh, developed a case of BarbieDollAnatomy. Okay, so he's pretty tough, but is he really ''that'' tough? 'Cos... holy crap. Also, normal people basically cannot survive the sort of burns he seemed to have without medical attention. And how did he die at the end, then, if he's so tough?** She's using hyperbole when she says "he had no eyes". She wasn't anywhere near him, and saw him in sillouhette. And the burns might have been entirely superficial, or at least not life threatening. You can be deformed by a lot less than what will actually kill you. As to why he died in the end? He was shot. Like, a lot. He might be stronger than the average man, and can ignore pain to an extent, but he's not bulletproof.** As for the anatomy, either his genitals were burned off, or the fan theory is true and V is actually Valerie.** He bled to death. Even the strongest muscles need blood flowing to operate. At Lark Hill, he didn't suffer any punctures or cuts that would have caused serious bleeding. In the subway, he suffered four or five said shots.[[/folder]][[folder:Haircutter]]* No seriously, who was it that we saw shaving her head? He is mostly certainly ''not'' V. If it was just seeing a pair of arms or something it would be fine, but look at the page image for TraumaticHaircut. We see his entire face. V is one i burn scar with no eyes. Who was that?** He ''does'' have eyes. ''V isn't blind! He can see.'' That was just a metaphorical hyperbole to make him seem less human. Delia Surridge just couldn't ''see'' his eyes.** Well, the page image aside, we don't see that person's face in the actual movie. But I have always wondered, not only about that, but about the other prison personnel (guards, interrogator, etc.). Did V play every role himself, or what?** Yeah, the picture is just a production still. The movie ''does'' crop it so you don't see his face. And yes, V ''did'' play every role (aside from the occasional dummy). He was a one-person organization, after all, so there's nobody else around to play those other roles.** If you recall when he was making eggs, his body is one big burn scar. How could he pass himself off without wearing some wacky human costume you'd see in a cartoon?** Well do you recall the first time Evey sees his burns on his hands? He's wearing pants, a long sleeved shirt, and his mask/wig. So the only exposed skin is on his hands. Now think about how many government/military type outfits use full sleeves and gloves. And almost all of them (keep in mind that MOST government/military uniforms are for show and decoration) have hats that can be worn with it. So in a very shadowy basement, where Evey is FAR too scared to be really think about getting a good look at her captor's faces (she's under the impression that the government has abducted her, so it's not like she has no idea what's going on, she's just mistaken about who is behind it), all V would have to do is wear a mask. Something he's quite well-acquainted with, I believe?** No, I don't mean ''her'' seeing his hands. I mean ''us'' seeing his hands. They were normal unscarred hands in the camera's view. ** The actual hands physically cutting Natalie Portman's hair belong to an actual stylist -- they had one chance to get the scene right, so they put Natalie's hair in the hands of a professional rather than Hugo Weaving's. I suppose one could say that V put makeup on his hands to prevent Evey from recognizing them, since she took note of his hands in an earlier scene.** ^ Really? They couldn't think to just give the stylist a pair of gloves or something so we the viewers wouldn't notice?** ^ Um...the stylist IS wearing gloves. Watch it again.** ^ Clear plastic gloves, which clearly show normal hands. Admittedly, they could be part of the glove.[[/folder]][[folder:Igniting the bomb]]* How could V have ignited his mustard gas and napalm in the first place? There wasn't even a single light bulb in his cell.** There are many chemical combinations that cause a rapid exothermic reaction (fire).** Basic chemistry win for The Man From Room Five: ANFO (Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil) is an explosive combination of two very basic elements; chemical fertilizer, and diesel fuel. V talked them into giving him fertilizer for his rose garden, and the diesel fuel was probably for a hedge trimmer or something.[[/folder]][[folder:Surveillance and V]]* There is one particular part in the comic that has always puzzled me. At the beginning of part 3, "The Land of Do-As-You-Please", V destroys the BT Tower and Jordan Tower, the seats of government surveillance, and proclaims to the people of Britain that they're now free from being constantly seen and heard by Norsefire. This seems like a very inspirational and touching moment. Later however, it turn out that all the cameras and microphones still work and they are now in fact controlled by V through his own surveillance network, who can watch and hear people while they erroneously think no-one is monitoring them. Now, this seems like it doesn't exactly mesh with V's condemnation of government control and surveillance of its people, as he's willing to do the same for his own ends. I've always interpreted that scene as the comic presenting V as a hypocrite, especially since he's not exactly a saint in the rest of the book. Does anyone else know if this was Moore's intention or is there some other meaning to it? ** I don't really think that makes him a hypocrite. The cameras were there to control the city. If someone was doing something Norsefire didn't approve of, they'd be sent out to fix the problem. V merely observed them, he didn't influence what they did in the slightest, so he wasn't applying any sort of control. It's not much different from V simply looking out his window at the world and seeing whats going on, just on a far larger scale. ** Actually, he did use the cameras for his own ends; he spied on Helen Heyer having an affair with Alistair, recorded it and then sent the tape to Conrad Heyer, in order to break up their plans to install a new post-Adam government. Sure, it was for a "good" purpose, and its nowhere near the scale of the things done by Norsefire, but it still shows that he's willing to use surveillance to spy on people and control things from behind the scenes. This even leads to a moment of FridgeHorror: since Evey will inherit the mantle of V, she will presumably have access to the same network, which can be used for espionage in the same manner. After all, why would you set up this huge personal network to watch on people if all you ever wanted to do was watch? It would make more sense to use it to identify potential threats to your anarchist society and "remove" them.[[/folder]][[folder:Bomb Resources]]* Where does V find the resources for his bombings, and how does he manage to plant the explosives all by himself?** No answer for the planting of the bombs, or from the book perspective. But in the movie, it's mentioned that his explosives are mixed from common chemicals (no real explosives signature) and that he tends to supply himself by stealing from government convoys (remember the scene where he cooks breakfast for Evey; he mentions that he stole the butter from the High Chancellor's supplies). If he has enough knowledge of chemistry, it wouldn't really be that hard to find, steal, and mix up some kaboom.** ANFO accounts for 80% of the explosives used in the US every year, and is stupid easy to make, using chemical fertilizer and diesel fuel, both of which aren't the least bit suspicious by themselves.** As for how he plants them, he's ''clearly'' got a lot of time on his hands. In the movie, at least, he mentions it took him a damn long time to clear out the tracks under Parliament; presumably, he makes use of other such no-longer-in-use pathways throughout the country.[[/folder]][[folder:Nuking Africa]]* "Africa is gone!"...Um, ''why'' did either side find it strategically necessary to fire their nukes at Africa? There are no allies on that continent important enough to barbecue!** Like a lot of things this is probably Norsefire propaganda, it's very hard to tell what has and has not actually occured in the world as the only source of information is the propaganda stream.** It couldn't be propaganda. This was something Evey's mother repeated from the news, ''before'' Norsefire came to power, or apparently even existed.** Did they say ''who'' took out Africa? Maybe several of the countries in Africa got The Bomb and ended up nuking it out amongst each other.** [[VoodooShark Maybe]] they just ... [[Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy le]][[TheSilmarillion ft]]?** It's tempting to think of Africa as a poor continent, despite its bountiful supply of 'in demand' raw resources, but if you take a hard look at some of the worst African nations you'll notice that they are awash with military hardware. Given the chaos of a war, it's not hard to believe African nations would source WMDs of all sorts from fallen ex-super powers.** Consider when the original was written. There was a pretty large presence of Soviet troops across central Africa, and back in the day they were part of the targeting grid. With Egypt, Libya, and others in the Soviets' pocket, and the southern part of the country heavily controlled by western Europe, it too would have been a battleground. Diamonds, oil, gold, all kinds of stuff to fight over.[[/folder]][[folder:Unrealistic Anarchy]]* The premise: This has always bugged me about V in its entirety. Liked the film and the graphic novel, but it presents anarchy is a most unrealistic light. Government may not be the most fair way for people's interests to be addressed, it's certainly the most efficient and the most practical. It's the logical evolution from agrarian society, which is itself an evolution from hunter-gather groups. By destroying the government, V has effectively destroyed his society and replaced it w/ a form of "leaderless leadership" that the majority have never experienced. The basic considerations of food distribution, clean water supplies,providing shelter and medical care,etc would handled by who now? The more complex considerations like security, trade,etc would be regulated by...? This is why anarchy fails as anything more than a theoretical concept. It's impractical for anything other than small groups and even in those groups, people would eventually create hierarchical structures if for no other reason than to get things accomplished. The finale of this film is basically the beginning of multiple small and large scale conflicts, famine and pestilence. It seems odd that no one in the film's (and the novel's) universe seems to acknowledge that.** Yeah, the film was given a happy ending, but part of that ending includes Evey being there to help rebuild. As for the graphic novel, pretty much everything you said ''is'' considered, and Moore made the whole thing deliberately ambiguous as to whether or not what V did was a good thing.** Did the film even mention anarchy at all? I got the impression that they watered it down into a standard "overthrow an oppressive government" plot rather than an "government itself must be overthrown" one.** To the OP: I don't know, maybe you should have a look at the long history of anarchism as a social philosophy and a social movement over the last 170 years (there is a meticulous anarchist FAQ online, for starters) if you sincerely don't know how we would go about answering these "objections". The fact that someone else disagrees with your assertions about what is and isn't "practical" is not Fridge Logic; it's more like YMMV.** This. Anarchism isn't just the idea of a revolutionary killing a country's leaders and saying "right, run the place yourselves". [[/folder]][[folder:Mask resources]]* In the movie, how in the hell can V find the time, resources, and manpower to manufacture Guy Fawkes masks and matching black cloaks and Elizabethan-style hats for practically every man and woman in London and then send it through ''the mail'' and not get busted or at least found out by the big Orwellian government?** According to WordOfGod, he spent many years making those masks, as well as ordering them from factories in other countries. ** But how in the hell did he manage to pull off mailing them all to all of London with nobody getting suspicious?** "At least the trains all run on time, but they don't go anywhere." One of the keys of authoritarianism is that people do not ask questions when given orders. The postal service received a massive order of packages to be shipped, and rather than any one postal worker questioning the bizarre event, each of them assumed it had been checked and verified by their immediate superior, and thus went about their assigned task with nary a trace of incredulity. Due to the bureaucratic nature of the government, by the time any sort of "Hey, this is really weird" report got up to the top of the chain, it was already too late and the packages had been shipped.** As anyone who has had the pleasure of working for a large bureaucracy can tell you, the above is actually the exact OPPOSITE of what happens. Supervisors constantly micromanage every aspect of their organization because they know they'll be held responsible for any mistakes or, in this case, sabotage that happens under their watch.[[/folder]][[folder:Gordon and humiliation]]* Did Gordon REALLY think he was going to get away with humiliating a fascist regime who's known for [[ThePurge pretty much purging anyone who looks kind off]] on national TV? Judging by his reaction "Oh, I'll just apologize and give the Norsefires some money and it'll be fine," he did. But WHY? It's even more stupid considering he had a room full of some of the most illegal stuff in the country. He should have known he'd at least get searched. It would have made more sense if they'd at least written him as being so depressed and tired of living under fascism that he wrote that show as his swan song: He just wanted to humiliate The Party on national TV even though he knew he'd get the firing squad for it. ** He was one of the most famous and beloved public figures in Britain. He thought that the government couldn't just make him disappear or anything like that because while he might not have had actual ''power'', he was a public face that would definitely be missed. He clearly overestimated the protection that gave him, however.** Also, what's to say he isn't extremely depressed and deliberately pulling off a self-destructive stunt? Being forced to repress homosexuality for almost your whole life can indeed do that.** He probably could have gotten away with it before V started his subversive activities, but the government had by this time switched into "zero tolerance" mode.** If you watch the movie again, you'll notice that the comedy show scene comes ''immediately'' after a short bit with Sutler chewing out his inner circle and making it plain that [[YouHaveFailedMe things won't be going well for them]] if they don't start getting ''immediate'' results on ''something''. So yeah, they were feeling a lot more touchy and trigger-happy than normal. ** It also seemed that Gordon was inspired by V's example of defying the government. He probably would have never considered pulling a stunt like that in normal times.** It definitely seemed, at least to me, that it was a product of the sudden seeming-shift resulting from V's broadcast, but that Gordon was perfectly aware it was likely to spell his death. [[DrivenToSuicide He just didn't care any more]], making that whole stunt not TooDumbToLive but him exercising his clout as a TV producer in one last act, that of open satire and protest on film, before accepting death. ** Though if that's the case, why didn't he consider the fact that Evey, a known fugitive, is in his house? Did he not consider the fact that she'd likely be arrested too, and that he'd be [[TakingYouWithMe taking her down with him]]?[[/folder]][[folder:Laughing at Gordon's tv stunt]]* In the film version, it seems odd to me that everyone we see is so eager and ready to laugh at Sutler in Gordon's TV stunt. Any totalitarian state like that typically has a huge personality cult around its leader (and we see that this state does, with the flags and the picture of Sutler in the old people's home), and that leader is treated with utmost respect (or at least fearful obedience). The old people I might be able to buy since they presumably remember a time before Sutler's way, but the children? It's the only thing they know. History has shown that totalitarian regimes (such as Mao's China and Hitler's Germany) brainwash people and none are more affected by this than the young.** You've definitely hit the nail on the head as to one of the film's dumbest ideas (and the mere idea that Gordon thought for a second he could get away with it seems like terminal stupidity).** Sutler hasn't been in power ''that'' long -- Larkhill was twenty years before the start of the film, and the "terrorist" attacks came after that. He's not even that popular ''or'' terrifying -- it's Peter Creedy people are afraid of, and even then only those in the know. There's also no evidence that the government is actually brainwashing people aside from withholding certain bits of information and airing Prothero's show, which is obviously not directed at children. Furthermore, the parents of those kids who laughed at Sutler's satirical portrayal are the kids who watched their parents and friends dragged away in black bags two decades earlier, so I doubt they've spent the time since indoctrinating their children. Finally, Dietrich's show was the most watched in the country and presumably the most popular even with kids -- anything he makes fun of, they'll laugh at. ** As history showed us ''numerous times'' it takes nothing but few months to become a nation-beloved leader under totalitarian systems. It's as easy as it gets. That was my biggest issue with both comics and film - that Norsfire is running the country for decades, yet people mentality is shown like they took the power yesterday. So if Britain is run like North Korea, why people have a pretty much liberal-democratic approach to life and politics after all those years? It's simply impossible, Milgram experiment and things like that proved long time ago on scientific basis that people can be molded into whatever you want with ''just'' giving them orders. Yet most of Westerners are so used to "democracy is natural" that they simply can't comprehend the idea of not rebelling against totalitarian governments. And it shows in V for Vendetta like nowhere else in pop culture.** This also comes after all of V's very public attacks against the government, and his nationwide TheReasonYouSuckSpeech against both Norsefire and the regular citizens. The police even explicitly state that public opinion of V is skyrocketing while Norsefire is taking a nosedive.[[/folder]][[folder:Getting shot]]* So at the end of the movie, V lets the bad guy shoot at him with a lot of bullets, then as they're reloading kills them all and reveals he had on a bullet-proof vest and he soon dies from his many wounds. Why did he stand there and let himself get shot? I mean, what if one of them aimed for his head, boom movie over. He could have attacked while they were shooting and he would have been hit less.** He was trying to make a point, and planning on dying anyway. And several bullets ''do'' hit his facemask (you can see the marks), but his facemask is apparently also bulletproof.** "I'm done, and glad of it". He doesn't wish to live past the confrontation with Sutler and Creedy. What's harder for me to believe is that he chooses to go with his original plan despite having fallen in love with Evey. Someone as resourceful as him would have ways of killing Creedy and his goons without dying himself. Then again, perhaps he considered himself too monstrous to ever have anything with Evey...** It's not just that he considers himself monstrous. V is an Ubermensch, and he wants a new world to rise from Norsefire's shadow, but he also DOESN'T want this new world to be based, defined or dependant on ''him''. Likely because he doesn't want to repeat Jesus' mistake, trying to guide people and then having people run away with his beliefs and corrupt them to try and lord over others, or be made into a leader and [[HeWhoFightsMonsters then become as corrupt and despotic as Sutler]]. Like he tells Evy, the new world needs to be shaped by new people, and the choices must be their own, without any influence. [[FridgeBrilliance Which fits the True Anarchy concept, of society rulling itself without the need of leaders or religions to control what they view as right or wrong]]. Movie!V is still an anarchist, only a more subtle one than Comic!V.[[/folder]][[folder:Blades instead of guns]]* Is there an explanation as to why V never uses guns but prefer blades?** See [[RuleofCool Rule of Cool]]** He was a fan of ''Literature/TheCountOfMonteCristo'' and could possibly have been trained in fencing (he's seen doing it with a suit of armour) so using blades might have been A) easier for him due to his training and B) something symbolic. Plus bullets in guns run out and if they run out in the middle of a fight, you have to take time to reload them. Knives however can be much more dangerous in hand-to-hand combat. Also if one gets knocked away, you simply draw another one and keep enough on your person so you never run out. You can always pick it up if it gets knocked away as well. Plus V is a bit of a show-off and he wants to be seen. Fighting with blades is a bit more elegant and showy than shooting guns. Also think of it this way, someone threatens you with a gun there's always a possibility it's not loaded. But someone threatens you with two knives and you know they're going to be able to cut you.** Symbolism. Guns are weapons, and are used only to kill. Anything V uses against the government, being it knives or explosives, are ''tools'', that can be used to destroy or make things, depending on what you want to do with them.** At one point, it is said that the virus mutated his body, giving him super-strength and speed. Guns are the favored weapon of the ordinary person, since they require little strength or skill to use. Knives on the other hand, are the favored weapon of people who are fast and strong, and the insane (they like the hands-on nature of carving up their victims), and since V is both, these work. Think about it, if he is standing still he is an easy target, but someone as fast and skilled as he is, can actually do ''more'' with knives than guns.[[/folder]][[folder:Voice changing]]* Any reason why, in the comic book, nobody notices what would be a drastic voice change at the end?** This is WildMassGuessing on my part but at one point, Evey wondered if V wasn't one of the lesbian women from Larkhill. It seems there would be some reason to assume V could've been a man or a woman. Perhaps the mask distorted the voice somehow.** The voice is at most masculine and at least androgynous, since Evey believed V was a man (that whole "I am not your father" bit in the comic). She could have also been speaking in a lower register, and there would be further distortion because of the speaker system.** It's possible V, who planned for everything, left a recording of his speech.** V is an extremely good actor. He could have been deliberately putting on a gender neutral voice just to up the MindScrew and unnerve people, not to mention it dovetails into his promotion of an idea over being remembered as a person. Chances are Evey can make her voice roughly the same; CrossdressingVoices is a trope for a reason. It's not hard to pull off if you're willing to work at it. Throw in an outfit that disguises body type well and you have a very good example of deliberately invoked gender confusion.[[/folder]][[folder:Complacency]]* As noted on the Mary Suetopia page, the Londoners in the film seem a bit too complacent to rise up against the government at the end like they did in the comic. Whereas the citizens in the comic were mostly poor, frustrated survivors of a post-nuclear hellhole; the ones in the film -- those who aren't religious or sexual minorities, at least -- live in a thriving, comfortable London, government surveillance notwithstanding. Why did they revolt exactly?** CrapsaccharineWorld. They still lived in fear of Finger Men catching them out on the streets after curfew, things were apparently heavily rationed (Evey says she hadn't had real butter since she was a little girl) and it seemed like the police could shoot you or attack you just if you looked suspicious. Plus, both Finger Men and the surveillance agents are portrayed as evil sadists who enjoy rape and abuse of others(i.e. the Finger Men who try to rape Evy, and the surveillance van agents who chuckle when they think Lilliman is raping another kid). The people lived in fear and wanted a change. The situation is not as dire as in the comics, where most of the world is a North Korea expy after a nuclear war, but people are still miserable, and being fed the PropagandaMachine. As soon as V starts shaking things up, people start rousing again. During the year before 5th of November, V was probably leaking information to the people, such as the truth behing St. Mary and Three Waters, as well as Gordon's execution(If it wasn't a public one, which would be yet another reason for revolt). Then that Finger Man shot that girl, and blew up the powder keg.** BreadAndCircuses is all you need to remain in power, no matter what is your political option. As long as you provide people a decent standard of living, you can do as you please. Just look around the world. Every single revolution and revolt in recent history was caused by powerty, food shortages and extremely poor living and working conditions. And Norsfire is providing both bread and circuses. There is virtually no reason to rebel outside of "our government is not a democracy". Then why 2/3 of world's population aren't revolting right now?[[/folder]][[folder:Corporations]]* In the graphic novel the Government collapses and Norsefire rises from the getting together of 'Some corporations' and far-right groups. The government bit is HandWaved away without so much a mention of the Armed Forces and Police. If the government collapses, Quite alot of whose personell are motivated by much more than money. Particularly in the case of the Army. How in the heck do some corporations survive when their existence and loyalty of the workforce is only guaranteed by profit?[[/folder]][[folder:Evey Age]]* How old is Evey in the movie? She certainly looks a lot older than 16.** Because...she's obviously a lot older than 16? Generally speaking, personal assistants to well-known television personalities aren't 16-year-olds. She's probably in her late 20s or early 30s.[[/folder]][[folder:Bodyguard Firepower]]* The Norsefire bodyguards are way lacking in firepower. You're dealing with British's most dangerous terrorist and all you're wielding are submachine guns? I understand they outnumber him 13 to 1, but if I were one of those Fingermen I'd have asked Creedy for something bigger, something like an assault rifle or even flat-out machine-gun.** It's Great Britain, a notoriously gun-free country (this has slipped somewhat, at least in the movie, but the number of guns not in government hands is still low, even for Europe's standards), and V is known to use no guns. They assumed it would be ''overkill'' against a single man using knives and martial arts, having absolutely ''no idea'' this guy, even with a BulletproofVest, would be able to stand after being shot with so much firepower, including Creedy's ''.357 Magnum revolver''. ''That'' [[OhCrap is why they were so scared]] when he remained standing.** They were in no way lacking in firepower. You know what happens in real life when 13 people empty fully automatic weapons into one person? That one person ''dies''.** There are a freakton of soldiers wielding assault rifles around the Parliament. No reason why Norsefire's most elite bodyguards wield anything less.** submachine guns are typically used in closer quarters then assault rifles. IMO given the meeting point was in a confined space submachine guns probably are a better tactical choice.** Creedy runs a secret police force, not a military organization. It's very likely that they prefer to use more portable and lower key gear.[[folder:Explosion]]* When the civilian surround Westminster you can clearly see from the aerial shots that they right up at the perimeter of the building on Bridge Street and St Margaret Street. The explosion is quite big. Anyone at the front would of been killed by flying debris. [[/folder]]----

I'm working as a consultant in Manhattan, and love meeting new and interesting people!
5 things I can't live without:
+ Fat babies and greasy food trucks
+ Making mixed drinks with mango juice -- on a related note, unabashedly ordering girly (email hidden)
+ Picking up new languages
+ Playing basketball every weekend with my friends/co-workers
+ Trying to be an extra in random TV shows and movies
Vibin has completed online and offline ID verification.
Vibin's room was just as described; cozy, more or less spacious, and a 1 minute walk to the A/C/E trains (Penn Station). Vibin made sure I had everything I needed to properly check in and out of the apartment, and was very responsive. I highly recommend staying with him.
The pre-arrival communication was very clear. The location is strategic (Penn Station, doesn't get any better than that). Very close to the A, C, and E line, AMC Theatres, and Times Square. Bed is very comfy, complete with your own office desk for work. Overall a really great place to stay at. Vibin, thank you for being very accommodating!
Great place! Can't recommend highly enough. Location is so convenient, the apartment was clean, safe and welcoming. Vibin was a great host; friendly, good company and available to answer questions any time. Would definitely stay here again.
Vibin was a fantastic host who went out of his way to make sure that I had a great experience. Staying at his place was as easy as staying at a hotel (nice bed, great location, soap and towels provided, etc) with all of the great amenities of a home (open fridge, great people to talk to, homey feeling). I'd definitely stay at Vibin's again (in fact I was going to book his place for every week for the rest of the year!), but my employer was able to pay for corporate accommodation in the city. You won't find a better deal in Manhattan than Vibin's place, for it's comfortableness, homey-ness, price, and location, and you're a very lucky camper if you get the chance to stay!
I can only give A1 recommendations for Vibin. Great host, very decent and clean apartment in the heart of Manhattan, located perfectly for sightseeing, great bars and restaurants in close vicinity as well. I really enjoyed my stay there!
Thank you very much Vibin and Harry. The apartment was in a great place, about a 10 min walk from Times Square and right beside Penn station. It was ideal for my Mum and I would were doing tourist stuff. The apartment was clean and we found everything we needed. Vibin and Harry were out most of the time as they busy working, but Vibin was really good about replying to email etc. For example, last minute a friend of ours was looking for a bed for the night and Vibin replied quickly saying yes. The apartment itself is simple and plain. It was what were looking for. Thank you.
Clean, no complaints. Host is very friendly and flexible.
Vibin and his roomate were very nice to me when I stayed at their place. They tried to make everything possible to make it easier for me as their guest (check-in and check-out times, towels, shampoo, hair-dryer, ...). They took time to have dinner with me at their place and it was nice chatting with them about their lives, their projects and so on. The added-value was that Vibin let me his own bedroom which enable me to have real privacy. All in all it was a great experience and I recommend them as AirBnB hosts. I hope to see them again if I go back to NY in the future.
Being new to the whole AirBNB experience I was a bit wary as to what it would be like. However as soon as I talked to Vibin I was put at ease. He is a wonderful host and even purchased a hair dryer for my stay (since they had not previously had one) as well as invited me for a home cooked dinner him and his roommate Harry were having. On his spare time he was happy to meet up with me and walk the highline as well as grab some yummy treats at the Chelsea Market. The place was clean and the room I stayed in was quite larger than I expected with a very comfortable bed. Also the place was about a minute walk from the subway/Penn Station so it was soo easy to get around. Vibin is all in all an awesome guy/host. I guess what they say is right about southern hospitality :) I would definitely stay again!
This is a great place to stay, especially those looking for a central NYC location. Communication prior to and during my stay was very good (we even video-chat'ed, which made the arrangement more comfortable given it was the first airbnb for both of us), including details on 'check-in', wifi, entering/exiting the building, doorman, etc. Vibin was fun and engaging to talk to and made me feel right at home. The apartment is in a nice 24-hour doorman building and is centrally located for getting anywhere in the city by taxi or subway. It is also very close to Penn Station (1 block away) which made travel from Newark airport quick and easy using the train (and probably faster than taxi depending on traffic through the tunnel). My room was well kept, clean and good size, including a desk which allowed me to get a bit more work done late hours. One item to note is that Vibin slept on the futon in the living room (as mentioned in his Description), which was not an issue at all since I went to sleep well before he did (and I was up until midnight every night!). I would stay here again if I make my way back to NYC.
There are more than 8 million people in NYC, but Vibin is without a doubt my favorite. For all that he has done for me, I probably owe Vibin my firstborn, but he has generously agreed to allow me to repay him with an airbnb review. On top of being super considerate and warm (and all-around outstanding individual), he is a great host! Vibin has on numerous occasions graciously offered me a place to stay at the last minute, when I found myself stranded and far away from home. Throughout these numerous impromptu stays, Vibin was insistent on ensuring that my experience was picture perfect, from offering to cook for me to tolerating my friends' inexplicable desire to sing Disney songs during the wee hours of the morning. More seriously, he was insistent about ensuring my safety at all times, recommending certain routes throughout the city that were well-lit and populated at night (his area itself is incredibly safe, but you can't say that about everywhere in NYC). Vibin has a bit of an obsession with eating, but is thankfully a great cook -- he makes the meanest kimchi-fried rice outside of K-town and you can manage to steal away healthy bits of that food if you distract him appropriately (video games and PLL work quite well). All in all, anyone would be lucky to have Vibin as a host. You're sure to have a great time!
Having lived in the same dorm as Vibin all through college, I can verify that he is a low-maintenance, easy-going person to live with. He requires little of you while being considerate of your needs (he'll do his dishes if it bothers you, but won't make you do yours). He has a creative mind that sometimes comes up with random and quirky ideas, so don't be surprised if you come back to find him spending 3 hours making pie (but eat at your own risk). If you're looking for a casual buddy whose place has all the necessities, Vibin is your man!
I've known Vibin for quite a while now.....back since he was a cute, nerdy, little freshman at MIT. Through the years, he's covered up his nerdiness a bit with sick dance moves, some style and even a couple muscles. Nonetheless, the freshman Vibin will still always be there... by this, I mean, Vibin is a great guy, and now kinda cool too! He is one of the most chill people I know, super friendly/nice, up for just about anything, very trustworthy and a great friend. When you meet him, be sure to ask him about about that time he was on Jeopardy.... or about his travels to many places around the world.... or maybe directions to K-town for 3AM karaoke ;) I'd highly recommend him for a host in NYC. I've stayed with him a couple times and his apartment is perfect for a couple of fun nights in the city--great location and plenty of space. Hope you have a ton of fun hanging out with Vibin and exploring the city!
I have had the pleasure of actually living with Vibin and being a guest at his place. When I was moving apartments, there was a transition period of about a month where I did not have a place to live - Vibin generously offered his apartment and was a fantastic host. He gave me the option of sleeping on either his bed or futon, both of which were very comfortable, and he helped me whenever I needed anything, such as lending me battery chargers, sharing his dresser space, and letting me use his kitchen. Vibin keeps his living area clean and tidy, and he is neat and organized yet extremely easy going. It was an additional plus that his apartment was conveniently located in a safe area 2-minutes walking distance next to a major train hub (Penn Station) and the subway lines. Laundry and gym were inside his doorman building as well, and there were many restaurants, grocery stores, and other shops nearby. Aside from my living experience with Vibin, I have known him since middle school, and he has always been a kind and selfless friend, always helping me in school work and our activities together, not to mention he is extremely smart and talented, ranked #1 in our high school class and having attended MIT for college. He will also be too humble to tell you he has appeared on TV competing in Jeopardy! If you have the opportunity, try to get know him because he is a very fun and a friendly person!
I've been friends with Vibin for about a year, and I stayed with him during Hurricane Sandy. He's a very cool, laid back individual who cares a lot about others and is very sensitive to how others are feeling. When I stayed over, he always offered me food/drinks/other amenities and made sure that my stay was as comfortable as possible. I can't imagine a more receptive and warm host!
Vibin and I have known each other since middle/high school. He is a (very) smart and nice person and a trusted friend. I believe Vibin would be a great host who is fun and low key and easy to hang out with.

songbird on the rise :: fresh heart-felt folk
A songwriter with serious spark, Jenna Lindbo stands out. With her magnetic presence and a voice that resonates across generations, rooms fall silent when she sings. Hear her once and she'll take hold of your heart. From the eleven year old fan to the 87 year old groupie, Jenna brings audiences on a compelling journey through toe tapping, guitar smacking, joyful songwriting abandon. Her grace and ease on stage, coupled with positive, intricately crafted music creates an avenue where wide-eyed optimists and skeptics alike find themselves laughing from the belly one moment and shedding quiet tears of wonder the next.
Originally from the Pacific Northwest, Jenna now makes her home in Asheville, North Carolina with her guitar and 5-string banjo. She's on a mission to connect, entertain, and inspire; so far she's off to a darn good start. Jenna's first album, Strings and Spokes has been called "an audible smile" by critic Ben Salmon. Her songs tell stories, both whimsical and riveting, that captivate listeners of all ages and transport them into the worlds she sings about, where life feels a little brighter.

Mumbai: Shiv Sena on Friday said civic
authorities had asked for removal of the photo of party chief
Bal Thackeray atop `Sena Bhawan`, the saffron outfit`s
headquarters here.
"A BMC official phoned me, saying Balasaheb`s photo be
removed as the code of conduct for the October 13 Assembly
polls in the state is in force," senior Sena leader Manohar
Joshi told agency.
The former Lok Sabha Speaker expressed surprise over the
directive, saying "having our leader`s photo on the party
office does not tantamount to breach of the code as it has
been put up much before elections were announced."
Joshi said the party has not received any such directive
from Election Commission. "We have not received any notice on
the issue," he added.
A district election official said no specific notice (on
Thackeray`s photo) was sent to the Sena but guidelines on
prevention of defacement of property have been posted on the
Commission`s website.
