A summary of the movie V for Vendetta is that, “V for Vendetta” takes place in a futuristic, totalitarian Great Britain that is filled with torture cells, unfair punishments, and prejudice against minorities. However in the mist of all this chaos, one man known only by the name V dares to stand up to the government and is labeled as a terrorist. One night V rescues a mild young woman called Evey Hammond and an unlikely bond between the two emerges which results with Evey becoming Vs ally. But though V may be charismatic and have a passion for justice he also is bitter and has his own personal hatred of the government for something they did to him long ago. As November the 5th, the day V says he and those who will follow him will stand up to the government once and for all approaches, Detective Finch becomes more and more determined to uncover the truth about V, however his search leads him to ask to question whether or not he is on the right side.
The central focus of V for Vendetta is the issue of terrorism, and quite specifically, whether or not terroristic methods are ever a justified means to effect change. The character V, suffers for his violence against authority. The Great Leader himself, an unapologetic fascist, was a man who was a very lonely and sad individual who honestly believed his actions were at least necessary for a safe society, however evil they might have been. He becomes little more than a one-dimensional, undeveloped picture who barks a lot and seems more like a Bond villain than a real person with feelings or an actual viewpoint of any kind.
V stands up against the government, who has demoralized it's own people. He wants to avenge what has been done to him in Lark hill. He wants to shine light on the wrongs of the government and free his name and those of others, which have been destroyed. The film creates acceptable situations for his violence – the government's
