Parlando del film “ V for Vendetta ” bisogna premettere che non ci troviamo di fronte ad un comune action movie, ma a qualcosa di differente.
Il film dei fratelli Wachowsky fa parte di quella nuova generation of films that combine technical virtuosity with a great depth of themes and content. These are often awarded for photography, editing and directing, but little understood by the general public, as they deal with complicated issues and, at times, disturbing. The argument that links the production of these directors is, as in this case, the Vendetta.
A second element that binds them is the constant use of quotes . Tarantino is known by the public as the director of the citations, from spaghetti westerns to b-movie, the first Italian horror (Argento and Fulci) to kung-fu movie of the 70's and 80 . Just consider his last product Kill Bill, is a continuous series of scenes borrowed from other films. Many like it, some do not like, but this is reality and the film is having good results with these films.
To talk about this particular film (and not the graphic novel from which it is based) I always like to think back to those few minutes of the finale, which is expressed as the explosiveness of this film. What, in my opinion, leaves its mark, after watching "V for Vendetta," is the power that releases in each scene, detailed the use of colors and lights, music and, of course, the computer graphic. As I pointed out earlier, the strength of this kind of film is in original technique, masterful use of the means by which the progress provide us.

The film is devastating, is the manifesto of a revolution on celluloid, is the kind of movie I love. One such film is able to communicate his message so well, does not leave anything to chance and misunderstanding, it is a true work of art. It 'a film for those who do not simply open the house and see what awaits them out, is for those who want to change the reality in which they live
When you open your eyes to see the world and is just this world we do not like, it is time to change it. V for Vendetta helps to clarify ideas, especially to a teenage boy who must decide in these few years what will be its future.
We are in a futuristic London , slightly retro, with clear mold Orwellian. We learn from the television on in the room of two characters that the United States of America no longer exist, due to a great civil war that led to the collapse of the superpower. In England this hypothetical near future exists a totalitarian dictatorship . The slogan of propaganda of this "Big Brother" is: " units through the Force, Strength through Faith" . We learn later that every single figure of the government is controlled by a Board of Governors, chaired by a dictator: the High Chancellor Adam Sutler. Such information, religion, police and punished, a secret team and very similar to the Nazi SS or homegrown black shirts, are managed by the dictatorship that is to create a livable environment for the nation, hiding behind the totalitarianism form of democracy. Despite various attempts by the regime, the citizens of London have a suspicion that their freedom is threatened, and teams of repression in prison camps imprison minorities etniche, religiose e sessuali.
In questo contesto si inserisce la figura di “ V ”: il protagonista senza nome e privo di un volto, salvo per la sua maschera, che riprende le fattezze del rivoluzionario inglese Guy Fawkes . L’identità del personaggio è celata in ogni suo piccolo particolare, infatti, la maggior parte delle frasi che pronuncia all’interno di film sono delle citazioni . Lui stesso non è altro che un grande riferimento, la rappresentazione vivente di un ideale più grande , come viene spiegato al termine della pellicola: “ Era Edmòn Dantés. Ed era mio padre e mia madre, mio fratello, un mio amico, era lei, ero io, era tutti noi ”. Non si è voluto dare al personaggio di V un’identità innovativa perché lui stesso è il frutto della società in cui vive e la racchiude completamente, nei lati positivi ed in quelli negativi. Ci ricorda quel solitario Fantasma dell’Opera , rinchiuso nel suo sotterraneo, ma non quello dell’ Operà Populare di Parigi , bensì una zona nei pressi della metropolitana londinese, il quale ardisce una congiura contro il governo.

Scocca la mezzanotte, inizia così il 5 di Novembre , giorno di rivoluzione, il giorno della congiura delle polveri.
La Vendetta ha inizio, è il primo atto dell’opera, appunto, l’ Ouverture .
Suonano le campane e dal nulla si espande una musica travolgente; V ed Evey si trovano sul tetto di un palazzo, ed il direttore di questa orchestra improvvisata è pronto per cominciare. Tiene il tempo con la bacchetta e solo dopo pochi secondi di attesa arriva il tanto bramato crescendo: il palazzo dell’ Old Bailey esplode. Nel caos più totale risuona la musica di Tchaikovsky , l’ Ouverture 1812 , tema musicale più che caro alla rivoluzione russa, gli strumenti a percussione si confondono con le esplosioni e con mille fuochi artificiali di colori accesi, crolla una parte della tradizione inglese which now represents only the dictatorship.
This first terrorist act of V in the viewer automatically triggers a question: But it is really just that? Under the pretext of a revolution is possible to break a moral law, as may be the "do not kill"? The question would be able to undermine the German philosopher Immanuel Kant, who explained the problem once and for all morality in his "Critique of Practical Reason " but also spoke explicitly of law in " Metaphysics of Morals."
The British philosophical tradition (and later American) sul tema politico e delle libertà ragiona in maniera differente da quella tedesca, infatti, a partire dagli albori della rivoluzione inglese ci troviamo di fronte ai testi sul liberalismo e sulla tolleranza religiosa di John Locke e quelli utilitaristici di John Stuart Mill . Locke anticipa il pensiero politico della rivoluzione americana dichiarando con fervore quali siano i diritti dell’uomo, tra cui il diritto alla rivoluzione.
Dall’esperienza visiva di V for Vendetta apprendiamo che V è un convinto liberalista e la sua identità di terrorista o rivoluzionario, come viene definito dal governo inglese, diviene quella di un vero e proprio eroe e patriota, com’è lo stesso Guy Fawkes in the eyes of the English people. V is convinced that a "Jeffersonian " testifies one of the many quotations, which, ironically, has become the most famous of the entire film, in which he says "I'm not people have to be afraid of their governments, but governments should be afraid of their people . From an ontological point of view the film is permeated by the idea of \u200b\u200b Nietzschean "Destroying to Rebuild," which create a different world is possible (and necessary) but first we must destroy the one in which we live.
one element of this whole affair is that most hit me, the question I asked myself during the film, when Revenge was to be accomplished and the revolution was almost complete. Once the old government will collapse, will be the same V to take the lead the whole nation? Also commit the same mistake that he committed Oliver Cromwell after the English Revolution? hope with all my heart that this does not happen and, fortunately, my question was clarified in the final scenes. V
save England from the totalitarian regime, but at the same time we realize that it is not suited to the new world that he himself helped to create. He, the son of a dictatorship, was forged by the fire of vengeance, exposed to different experiments by the government, this has increased the seed of hatred. It 's a monster , if we look from this point of view, and that is how Evey will call him after meeting him in an accurate manner.
E 'memorable confrontation between the two protagonists when they take awareness of their true feelings, when it finally opened my eyes to see the world. V discovers the hatred and revenge through the fire and the flames of a great fire, Evey is washed by the tears of the cold sky of London that begs to be freed from the oppressive gray, so she becomes the light of a new future for the world. She is the true heir of V , She still manages to judge an unjust action of revenge and maintains its own moral, only you will have the ability to communicate to the world. V is nothing but a messenger, he announces a new world, is Zarathustra, but he certainly will not be part of that future because of the past, just as the dictatorship . It is no coincidence that on the night of November 5 V destroys Parliament and overthrow the government, but at the same time he is killed by this and explodes with him in the train bomb headed for the basement. The future is in the hands of Evey, a Superman otherworldly, or simply hope for a better future.
Again is accomplished revenge, thunder in the air again a few seconds and the music of Tchaikovsky , the glow of the explosion is blinding, the Parliament finally blew up. During the last movement of this Symphony of Destruction, the whole of London takes off the mask of V, does not need it most, is now free .
