This movie is one of the greatest examples of how to write good dialogue. Hugo Weaving certainly helps with his delivery, but even without that it's so eloquent.
Hugo Weaving deserved an oscar nomination. His line delivery was so spot on that the mask never hindered his performance.
Hugo Weaving replaced James Purefoy as "V" several weeks into principal photography. Several of Purefoy's scenes remain in the movie, with Weaving's voice dubbed over. Purefoy's presence in the film to this extent, sadly made Weaving ineligible for an Oscar nomination.
yet Joaquin Phoenix got one for his Joker role .. even tho all he did wuz act like himself
100% agree!
@@PhantomFilmAustralia Oh yeah I forgot about that. James Purefoy is a solid actor as well. Curios what he would've sounded like.
Cine Freak
Facts! Hugo was cheated BIGTIME. There's no way he should have been denied an Oscar for this role (This is acting PERFECTION).
Alan Moore is probably the closest thing in our modern era to an actual wizard. He wrote V for Vendetta, Watchmen, and some of Batman's best stories. He's sort of like the polar opposite of Frank Miller, who wrote some of Batman's other best stories.
Watching them getting so excited at The Count of Monte Cristo gave me life.
One thing that you missed is that he actually is superhuman. The disease trials mutated him to dramatically increase his muscle strength and nervous system, granting him extreme speed and reflexes. The downside is that it drove him insane and destroyed his memory.
The Ghosts and The Darkness should be in your playlist of movies to react to.
Talk about perfect timing. Both in date and in general. More people should see this film.
"A building is a symbol, as is the act of destroying it. Symbols are given power by people. Alone, a symbol is meaningless, but with enough people, blowing up a building can change the world"
- V.
He had been experimented on and as a result did have superhuman abilities, speed, strength, stamina, etc.
YES!!! FINALLY! I’m so excited! This is one of my all time favorite movies. My favorite part was in Valarie’s letter she says, “I hope that whoever you are, you escape this place. I hope that the worlds turns, and that things get better. But what I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that, even though I do not know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you, I love you.”
I hope you guys get a chance to also react to: “Powder”, “Michael”, “Bicentennial Man”, and “Meet Joe Black”.🤗
The Wachowskis wrote it with intent to direct.
But instead hired James McTeague as director (2nd unit director for the Matrix Trilogy) and it's message was right for the times of a post 9/11 world.
As an kid I remember the graphic novel and mask on the cover always threw me.
Hugo Weaving was incredible as V.
Guy Fawkes Day was November 5th in England's history.
That history itself is mind-blowing.
If you can, you should check out the other films based on the Vertigo (DC comics) line: Watchman, History of Violence, The Losers, and The Kitchen.
This was made by the Wachowski Sisters, they also made the matrix :)
Brothers
Excellent movie and Hugo Weaving is amazing to convey so much when costumed and masked throughout.
"Guy Fucks" is the most Chaddish name I've ever heard, AND it's a play on Guy Fawkes... it was right there, plain as day! Never thought of it. This is a great channel
The Chancellor was played by John Hurt. (Kane from Alien)..
I love this movie. The end always makes me cry.
"I'm Eevee."
"Ee, vee, of course you are."
E, fifth letter in the alphabet, V, roman numeral for 5.
She goes to this guys house for escape as the number 1 wanted person in the country.
His response: Hold my beer, I have a show coming, watch me go!.....
Can be watched over and over.
I was on duty in central London when they filmed the crowd scene...Lots of takes, but interesting to watch.
Lucky number slevin,just friends,the big hit,forget paris,nice guys,multiplicity.if you haven't done these movies you should.you'll love em.
38:31 great comment on the military at the end. it's Very Significant that they choose not to shoot the protestors, even though they're all masked and thus less recognizable as individual people. given the absence of orders to escalate, they would rather let the people past them than mow them down. you could say it's just because they knew the tide was changing and that killing an entire crowd of unarmed civilians would not end well for them, but i like to think it's because they genuinely didn't want to hurt people. that in the course of a year, V's message had spread to all corners of the society, and the lack of communication with the top dogs was their signal that this was actually going to happen.
Great movie watched it on the 5th with the fireworks going off outside,do this every November 5th since my folks passed.
And the clock is not stupid that's tower clock or better known as Big Ben 🤣 keep up with the reviews guys
🤣 Only bit of this reaction that raised my heckles a bit too! Only way to tie the film back to Guy Fawkes I suppose. Blow up Parliament and Big Ben!
One slight error in the story, the original Guy Fawkes was dead before they hung, drew and quartered his body. He knew what awaited him and jumped from the ladder he was on with the rope around his neck, breaking his neck in the fall.
Have you guys ever seen "1984" ? There is a connection (on purpose?) between "V" and "1984": both movies are about about an oppressive surveillance state and both got John Hurt in a main role. The difference: in "1984" he is the one who is rebelling against the regime, here he is the personification of it in the role of the chancellor.
As more people start to die, it almost seems like they're throwing thier life away, knowing what might happen; it also becomes an expression of self, in the face of oppression. Knowing of the result, and suicidal, but a refusal; a story about raw humanity. Or even more: to feel.
Poetry in celluloid.
Ahhhh the movie that’s become more documentary than fiction. Glad the younger generations are discovering the ideas in this film and what fake news does to people.
Yea but I worry if you've not fallen for the actual fake news disguised as insight.
Glad you watched this in 2022 that's the year it is set in
Thank you y'all uploaded on the 5th of November nice I just watched it a couple of hours ago & V for Vendetta is still a great movie to me.
Also add Mystic River (Sean Penn and Kevin Bacon), Gone Girl (Ben Affleck), Sleepers (De Nero, K Bacon and Brad Pitt) and Gone Baby Gone ( Ed Harris & Morgan Freeman)
V is like Batman and Joker merged into one being
(edit) wow and i forgot that i just learned with your reaction here at the start there that this was a dc comics thing first
A great comic book film, made before the comic book movie craze really took off. To this point, we only really had Spider-Man and maybe 1 X-Men movie. Batman and Robin had basically killed comic book movies for nearly a decade. I like that they didn’t ruin it with a bunch of sequels. We just have this one, barely discovered masterpiece. This was written in the early 80s as a comic book when Reagan and Thatcher were running amok. The movie came out during the presidency of George W Bush, and there’s the odd queue to that effect. The political commentator in the movie is like a British Rush Limbaugh. I also like that the main villain, the Prime Minister Sutler, is played by John Hurt, who played the lead role in the movie version of Orwell’s 1984 and there are definite callbacks to that movie here in terms of how Sutler is shown on screen.
This movie is a documentary from the future.
"We call it Eggy-in-the-Basket"
We call it a Pirate's Eye 😅
My dad made em all the time, they're SO good.
One of fav DC movies along with A History of Violence, Road to Perdition and Red.
Guy in the back for sure has ADHD and I love him.
We litterally all say "Guy" now because of that OG Guy, just a heads up guys
All those Vs were vivacious.
V, one of the coldest assassin-type action heroes in existence.
Wait wasn't ready for him to have the guns out.
Yall gotta watch Wargames starring Matthew Broderick. I believe it came out in 1979 but it's a classic💯
May I please also recommend you react to Ultraviolet with Mila Jovovich? Also a comic book ‘fight the establishment’ movie, and one of my faves along with this. I think you’d really like it.
your reaction when watching orphan 2009 movie is very good hope you will watch and orphan first kill again thanks
"thats a good quote" he says 3 minutes into the movie. Oh boy
The mainstream media is already like this.
I loved this movie when it was released but everyone around me frowned on it cause it’s a story about a terrorist as the hero. And post 9/11 was still pretty strong. People are starting to see it for what it is now. Great reaction boys
Yall should react to Peppermint its a good action movie!
One of my top 10 favorite movies
People also seem to not realize that Men in Black is technically Marvel. So you not knowing this is DC, or Constantine being DC isnt surprising all good in the hood.
Ayooo I love what you guys are doing. Can you guys do "the players Club?"
Happy 5th of November!
this is germany in 1937.. we should not for get how one angry lil man with connections and a lil power can become a dictator. and how easy it may happen again..
Imo It's already happening again...
DC does tend to have several characters that don't have 'super' powers as such. Like, Batman for example. There's nothing supernatural about him, he's simply at peak ability. V is similar - his speed is a result of the experiments (Kinesthesia is mentioned in the film) . He's eerily good, but it's within physical boundaries.
Can y'all please watch Clockers (1995)? You're gonna like it.
Basically this is a warning to vote blue on Tuesday. 👍
People hate on V for mentally torturing eevee but forget she betrayed him first.
Gen Z forgets that to harden up, you must go through the flames.
Now watch Outbreak with Dustin Hoffman.
This is my all-time favourite film.
There are 2 big reasons it didn't do well at the box office though.
1- It was set in England. Americans have virtually no knowledge of other countries and how they work politically. Hardly anyone in America even knows why the 5th of November is remembered.
2- Marketing. This movie came out a couple of years after the 3rd Matrix film. The Wachowskis were producers on this film so the studion advertised it as the next "Matrix". The trailers wsere all edits of the very few action set pieces in the movie.
So American audiences were expecting an action movie with Matrix fight scenes set in England. What they got was a complex, slow burn political thriller that forced you to confront some pretty terrible aspects of humanity. This was right smack bang in the middle of Bush Jnr Iraq War 2: Electric Boogaloo as well. So the movie tanked.
But it was very well recieved outside of America and hit "cult" status pretty quickly. Hugo Weaving deserves an Oscar several times over but damn, this role??? S Tier for sure.
14:40: He done gone busted his stankbone.
The „count of monte c“ has not a lot in common with the books, there was a French tv show about 6 hours with Depardieu, the plans in the book and this show r extremely complex, and very clever and the best revenge story ever written, without any sword fighting in the book. He ruined their lifes
"People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people."
It's one of the best quotes ever because it applies to any country. People have more power if they really tried to do what is needed to be done.
Also, Fun Fact: John Hurt, the Chancellor, was Winston, the protagonist of the movie "1984", which makes the casting even more perfect.
Then you realize how many people actively WANT a dictator and will try and overturn an election for them...
Only problem is to many people are sheep these days who liked to be told what to think and how to react
The key word is "should". It applies to only those countries with an armed population. From Tiananmen Square, to the Soviet Union, to the Arab Spring, to most African countries going from brutal warlord to brutal warlord, to the dictatorships in South America, people without a means to fight back other than protesting and throwing rocks have been crushed over and over. The few rebellions that ended well can be counted on one hand, and the most famous one involved the American revolution that was a literal war.
@@unidentifiedguy8253 doesnt mean you just roll over and accept your fate. id rather die fighting than die starving
@@David_M395 Most of them laugh at the other sheep, thinking themselves better.
Hugo Weaving was phenomenal as V. Natalie Portman was outstanding. I've always loved this movie.
Tbh I feel like Portman was replaceable. I've seen this numerous times and every time, I'm wishing they'd found a stronger performance for Evey
Ths venerable vanity of V vainly vacating the values of E V, is a vociferous, vehement and manipulative vestigial tail of the final vacuous state of the viscious rebel.
(This sentence actually has a meaning, believe it or not)
One of my favorite movies ever. Here we are with you guys doing a reaction to it on the 5th of November. Perfect!
The priest scene with the assistant saying Evey is "a little older than usual" is even worse when you think about the graphic novel, where she is 16
They was tredding lightly with that part.
I love how the writers did the Eve thing with 'E' being the fifth letter of the alphabet and 'V' being five in Roman numerals.
I never noticed this even after all these times watching
@@busimagen ‘v’ isn’t the Fifth letter of the English alphabet, ‘e’ is, a b c d e…….
@@busimagen ohh, nice. I didn’t know that one, makes it more fun.
Remember remember the 5th of November.. One of my best friends adores this movie, and watches it every year on Bonfire Night (that's what it was always called here.) so glad to see you guys enjoying it.
Hugo Weaving what a unique emotional range.
"...for a piece of assssss!" - Hugo in Cloud Atlas.
"Oh I get it" I'm glad you did, you would be surprised at how many people didn't connect Evie's last speech about who V was to the showing of the people who were unmasked as people who had died already.
A core concept of the story is the idea of ideas being impossible to kill, even if you think you're killing anyone who has it.
So many people hear "Edmond Dantes" and because its a name they don't recognize immediately, just think it was his name. Unfortunately, the Count of Monte Cristo isn't as well known these days
Perfect reaction to V saying “oh, not tonight Bishop. Not tonight”
Hugo Weaving is an unbelievably amazing actor.
Believable amazing actor.
When "V" said that blowing up a building can change the world, I automatically thought of 9/11 because when the towers fell in New York, it really changed the world drastically. That line always gives me chills every time I hear it.
And it did.. Look at what has happened to our country ever since....
It is a fixed moment in time. The whole world changed forever after that event. I remember the fear of flying for months afterwards. I was leaving for college a few weeks after the towers fell. My anxiety levels were through the roof. It didn’t help that I was moving from the country to a big city with a trading port. The fear of more attacks was real.
Curtis falling in love with V, is the most adorable thing ever. Hahaha.....''he's perfect!!''
WTF is this channel. i have like 20 of you guys videos in the watch later. its never ending A+ content. Keep it up guys 1 million subs on the way and one more added today.
LOL, thank you man; I appreciate that a ton!
People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.
They are. And that’s why they want us to be more scared.
@@mickylove76 "people will give up freedoms for the feelings of security and safety"
Then you realize how many people WANT a dictator and are willing to overturn a democratic election for it...
@@Seek1878 it's more who tricks people into wanting such a thing rather than people wanting that depending on where you're talking about...ugh this movie always brings both toxic and non toxic comments about politics
But Joe Biden has nukes! Lmfao!!!
"Your powers of observation continue to serve you well."
My, what a polite way of saying, "Well, DUH!". lol
Such an enjoyable movie with such great performances.
This movie really affected me when I first saw it at 14, especially as a young queer person struggling with their identity and orientation. Valerie's story never fails to make me cry
@@Lloyd-Franklin meanings of words change with time (and region). e.g. "Fag" is a cigarette in the UK.
@@Lloyd-Franklin
Also that word is in LGBTQIA+
@@Lloyd-Franklin I thought queer is in the lgbtq. Q stands for queer
@@Lloyd-Franklin What a queer thing to get hung up about on the internet.
to be honest as a straight guy from a heavy catholic background, even though I had reasoned my way to agreeing with gay marriage on principle (Human freedoms, rights etc), I had never actually CARED about a same sex couple until I saw this movie, it was the line as she told her parents "I’d only told them the truth. Was that so selfish? Our integrity sells for so little, but it is all we really have" , that right there got me more than anything, having had the warm up of Stephen Frys story (I'm a big fan of his anyway) this was like being stabbed in the heart, and 17 years later I still care about her
The original V for Vendetta is a graphic novel by Alan Moore that was released between 1982 and 1989. The movie came out in 2006 but it holds up remarkably well today.
And, he hit the point on the head, '' Ideas are bulletproof.''
This movie is so awesome and it’s scary how similar it seems to what’s happening in the world right now.
Crazy right? Texas’ GOP put in their platform, black on white, that they consider homosexuality to be abnormal. We’re pretty close to the “different becomes dangerous” step of the Suttler government.
Alan Moore is a staunch anarchist, and has always been wary of fascism just waiting to grow in the British government
Throughout history that type of shit is always happening in the world. Pull your head out of your ass. You probably see the sky in a movie and say duh that's just like the sky outside. 🤡
Alan Moore was very prophetic, especially considering the comic is from 40 years ago
Indeed. I doubt the WEF and their cronies will be stopped in time, but the notion of people uniting against encroaching authoritarianism is a poetic one, to be sure.
“Brother Maynard, bring out the Holy Handgun of Antioch!” 😂
I love this film. "People should not fear their government. Government should fear its people" iconic quote.
Have one recommendation in movie for you: THEY LIVE (1988), this movie is underrated, but and great.
Love movies that lead to discussions like the end of this one. Movies that make you think about idea of governance, violence, peace, etc.
"An artist uses lies to tell the truth, while a politicians uses lies to cover the truth up." This adaptation practices what it preaches.
I share Valerie's monologue, verbatim, on social media. Every November 5th. I know the Guy Fawkes poem is the more famous and well known. But Valerie's monologue seems far more appropriate for today's world.
I lol'ed when you guys mentioned getting Matrix vibes, the screenplay for this movie was written by the Wachowskis.
Looking forward to this one boys ready to have your minds blown.
I absolutely love the way V speaks in this movie... Not just his voice, but the style and punch of the delivery. Such a good film with a great twist that I personally didn't see coming.
Great reaction guys, we need a V in this world right now, loved this movie😊
You know he's a communist character written by a communist writer yes?
@@Zack_410 idc I liked it😊
@@Zack_410 Moore describes himself as an Anarchist, and most of V's anti-government statements are inherently anti-communist
@@Zack_410 Who Cares!
@@Zack_410 This is not a gotcha question, I promise. I'm genuinely curious.
Can you please give a precise definition of your understanding of the word communism?
Your collective joy at the mention of Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo is so precious. It really is a great film. Also, the mask being so constant and omnipresent was the reason the originally cast actor, James Purefoy, quit the production 6 weeks in. In could not handle wearing it constantly - drove him a little crazy.
This was a great movie that tells truth abt government corruption. We need a V now more than ever.
Lol people like you I swear. We don't live in a dystopia community. Also, it's not the "conservatives" who are the problem right now it's the ultra left. If you live in America, you are a part of the freest people in the world. If you live in America and don't like your predicament, leave. Because you have the freedom to do so🙄🤡. Government sucks, but guess what, ALL governments sucks. We just have it better than most.
@@a.mp.m7340 df you mean "people like you?" Tho? What is like me? No one mentioned anything abt conservatives. A hit dog will holler tho. Don't tell on yourself.
Watching this film tonight (again, annually,) with my son, but as far as Hugo Weaving, one of my absolute fav films with him is "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of The Desert".
Just realized what range he has...drag queen. elf, antifascist antihero super martial artist, matrix enforcer. He's done it all.
YES!!! The first time I saw Matrix all I thought was "Is that Tick? Where's his frock?"
I'll watch Hugo Weaving in anything.
Ah, when DC movies used to be good.
More than good, this movie is falt-out iconic!
Underrated film with a powerful message. Action scenes were great too but I cared more about the plot and characters.
Not to mention the quotes by V is so good! I never sick of hearing him talk. I'm still kind of salty when he died in the end.
thank you ro reacting to V for Vendetta. its one of my favourit film of all time.
One of my favorites growing up. I was 13 when this came out and it changed my life. With V using quotes Macbeth and twelfth night I started to appreciate classical literature and plays more. If V asked me ti bunk with him until the heat died down I would. Dude can cook,has a great collection of books, art, and has great taste in movies.
He also have great taste in music
@@anonymousalice9998 true he does have good taste in music.
Valerie’s letter always makes me cry, especially as a gay man.
It makes me cry as a straight woman. No one should be treated that way. No one. I hate it here in the US. I hate it when I hear how LGBTQIA+ people are treated across the world. It's stupid. So so stupid.
It's one of the few bits in the film that is pretty much verbatim from the source material. If you watch the many reactions to V for Vendetta, everyone falls silent during the telling of Valerie's tale.
@@andidreyes5323 right there with you. it breaks my heart
Alex
As a loveless miserable 50 year old gay man, it makes me cry too.
This movie reminded me of the 1984 novel.
If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human forever.
George Orwell, 1984
They should make a sequel or a remake of this movie and call it “G for GOP”. 🙄 Chancellor Trumper would be the so called dictator, and I would call Ted Cruz or Lindsey Graham the equivalent of Mr. Creedy, except Creedy was actually intelligent, despite being evil.
Behind this Mask is an idea and ideas are bulletproof
It was DC Vertigo, their branch of a-typical comics. Vertigo comics were made for adults with nudity, drug use, profanity, and graphic violence.
