@@madsword19 just to add, it wasn't a wine glass, but a glass of warm milk. so not only were they making fun of big baby sutler, it was actually true lmao.
at this point in time, lookalikes would've been a fine guess, but in my opinion, it was more likely prosthetics and makeup. though that was really john hurt in both roles, note how the faces look significantly paler than their necks. that the faces look like there's a good bit of foundation caked on was likely meant to invoke a fake face, whether makeup and/or prosthetic.
You forgot 2 of my favorites of his; Marvelman/Miracleman and Swamp Thing. Moore is quite the prolific writer. And while I see why he isn't a fan of the adaptions of his work, I generally enjoy the movie adaptions of his work.
To not have Miracleman/Marvelman or Swamp thing on there is.... I don't know. I recently re-read both of those and man are they great. Taking already established characters, characters he didn't even create and having 2 beyond words amazing runs on them... the man is a wizard. What he does in 16 issues on Miracleman (I'm American so it's always been Miracleman to me), which was his entire run, is astounding. How to fit that much story in 16 issues. And how he comes out and just kills it issue one on Saga Of The Swamp Thing and keeps going for that whole run... man.
@@LizRealGirlBeauty Good for them both, it's hard to play a role with little recognition for the integrity of the character, and of course the stunt performers were great as well.
The first name she says at the end is Edmond Dantes - the protagonist of The Count of Monte Cristo; an 1844 French novel written by Alexandre Dumas, the same man who brought us The Three Musketeers. The 2002 movie is epic and worth watching.
" Since mankind’s dawn, a handful of oppressors have accepted the responsibility over our lives that we should have accepted for ourselves. By doing so, they took our power. By doing nothing, we gave it away" This movie has such great lines.
Keep in mind that this was written it the 80s - the time of Ronald Regan and Margaret Thatcher. Most people do not remember how bad things were socially and this was a warning letter. It just goes to show how things are cyclical in that it resonates today. Just like the Watchmen - exposing what could possibly happen.
Even though we dont see V's face or learn much about him there is something so sexy and captivating about him and his presence. Hugo weaving did a phenomenal job in this role!
@@beetlebob4675 Yeah, but even more so in V because his voice is almost his entire performance, it's the only real thing we have to go off aside from body language to engage with his character. And his ability to command attention and portray emotion through those two aspects alone (especially in a mask featuring a permanent smile) makes him all the more captivating. You should see the amount of love and simping people have been expressing towards V ever since. 😉💖 Btw, have you ever heard Hugo sing? And I mean like, actually sing professionally, not just his fun LOTR rap. If not, definitely check out his covers for Leonard Cohen's "I'm Your Man" and Bob Dylan's "Ballad of a Thin Man," here on YT. He's kind of amazing at it. 🥰
My gf and I watch this every 5th of November. I had never seen the movie until she introduced it to me when we first started dating. Absolutely love this movie 🤙🏻🔥
This movie was one of my absolute favs as a teenager, and I still have the “V” speech memorized from when he meets Evey. One person says, “Voila!” and I devolve into, “in view, a vaudevillian veteran…”
Egg in the Basket is egg IN toast, rather than on. You just use a drinking glass or something similar to cut a hole in the slice of bread. Place the bread in a pan with melted butter, and crack an egg into the hole. :3 Hugo Weaving is an amazing actor in this, despise his face never being seen. The scene where Evie's hair is being shorn, that was Natalie's real hair, and that was her stylist doing it, to ensure it looked as real as possible with just one take. The final fight between V and Creedy's men I think is a case of V's nerve endings being scorched by the fire so he doesn't feel pain anymore.
Just some trivia: As far as I know, they were allowed to film the night scenes actually in/around London, The cast and crew were only allowed to shoot near the British Parliament and Big Ben from midnight to 4:30 a.m., and they could only stop traffic for four minutes at a time.
your surprise when she said he was Edmond Dantès & he was my father. Edmond Dantès is the Count of Monte Cristo (the movie V & Eve watched together). Masterpiece of a book, you should react to the film.
I always get a little pang of joy in my heart when any LOTR actor gets their flowers. Even if it's every year. 😂 Even if it's in the context of literally any other movie.😂 It warms my soul to see them so loved and appreciated.❤
@@johnj4471 Exactly this. You get shit for being a Christian or Jewish, and you get cancelled, fined or even jailed for speaking the truth about what's happening in the UK. As well as the rest of the EU and the West, to be honest. France, Germany, Scandinavia, etc. We're all kinda fucked until populism takes a proper hold.
it also has a book my grandma keeps recommending it to me i still didn't watch it she also recommended me CITY OF ANGELES, it was amazing and beautiful
15:40 Honestly, I highly recommend The Count of Monte Cristo - the 2002 version with Guy Pearce and Jim Caviezel. It's a great revenge movie and baby Henry Cavill is in it.
Fun fact, the comic this is based on was written by Alan Moore, who also wrote Watchmen, The Killing Joke, and From Hell. But he wasn't credited or paid per his request, he really hates adaptations of his stuff lol
@@G59METH a lot of Moore’s original work isn’t that suitable for the masses. What the adaptations do a great job at, is making them more likeable and relatable. E.g., in the original V for Vendetta the finale was supposed to be a thought experiment of what happens when you confront fascism with anarchy. But since anarchy is a fucking stupid ideology that doesn’t work in IRL the Wachowskis fortunately decided to instead make it liberalism vs facism. Also the glorification of drugs was removed, thank god.
He literally told her they threw out the censor approved script. I'm always shocked how hard it is for people to pay attention to the only words being spoken. They even killed the music during the conversation to emphasize it. 🤦
And as bonus: They both sing! The character of V has a whole scene in the comics where he sings and plays piano to a song called "This Vicious Cabaret," and there's a recording of it done by singer David J that you can find here on YT. Plus, I learned Hugo Weaving himself has quite the singing voice on him (check out his covers for Leonard Cohen's "I'm Your Man" and Bob Dylan's "Ballad of a Thin Man"), which funny enough, appealed to the side of me that grew up crushing on Gerard Butler's Phantom of the Opera (which is meant as a compliment, fyi). 😆🌹😉 There's also an old YT channel you can find called ZShadow that hosted a series of animated buddy adventures between the Phantom and V during the mid-to-late 2000's. 😊
15:35 there was a 2004 remake of The Count of Monte Cristo and I think it's the best revenge movie I've ever seen. You should add it to the react playlist. It's been making the round in the react circuit in the last few months anyway.
The Wachowskis, along with Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer), directed Cloud Atlas, a great movie, adapted from the novel by David Mitchell. Starring Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving, Hugh Grant, Keith David, Susan Sarandon, and quite a few more you'll know. It has multiple plots occurring during six eras in time spanning hundreds of years, and the actors play different roles in each time period. It's inventive and thought provoking and exciting. Highly recommend.
It was a lookalike Chancellor on the talk show. And Natalie Portman really shaved her head for that scene in the movie. Check out her Natalie Rap on Saturday Night Live -- it came out a few months later with her short haircut. AND it's an easter egg on the V for Vendetta DVD.
One of my absolute favorite movies and I have not been able to watch it since COVID. It just hits too hard. Also, forever in awe of Hugo Weaving for this role. How he consistently makes me forget that he's wearing a mask and we don't see any facial expressions is mindboggling.
Well this settles it, the 2002 Count of Monte Cristo film has to be your next reaction. One of my favorite movies of all time! It's so worth it I promise.
This is one of my top 5 favorite movies ever!!! I’m not from London, I’m in the US but the accuracy of this over here (and the world unfortunately) is terrifying.😢
34:10 Fun fact: Psychological studies have shown that when watching a car accident video, even using leading words like "car _smashed_ into the other" and "car _bumped_ into the other" affects the judgment of the viewer when asked how fast the car was going ("bumped" slower than actual, "smashed" faster than actual). People don't realise, or refuse to believe, how easily we are affected by shit we see and hear.
@@user-lv8us9dp8d Thanks for identifying yourself as a simp for authoritarianism and the removal of free speech. You are the kind of snitch that would love to work for dictators I guess.
@@NonokobeBarsam "simp for authoritarianism and the removal of free speech" lmfao people who pretend to be "anti-authroitarian" and virtue signal about "free,e peach" are massive hypocrites. You hate free speech when people use it to prove how horrible, violent, and actually authoritarian you and people like you are.
ayyy anonymous 😂 that’s exactly the reason why i watched this movie too ngl , i saw the mask and was like “ouu this could be cool” and i wasn’t wrong 🙏🏼 i’m shocked you know of anonymous 😂
It’ll never be lost on me how Stephen Fry and Natalie Portman are in a film about violent oppression, authoritarianism, an inability to move freely, non-secularism in government, and the reactions to this whilst both being huge zi0s.
I always wondered if V had meant right from the start to give Evey a speedrun at his life to kill her fear and give her understanding of Valerie's letter, or if he meant to just like, punish her in revenge at the start for betraying him and give her guilt, like 'these are the people you betrayed, these are the monsters you sided with'. But when Evey refused to give any information about V to what she thought were her captors even when they tortured her, V was impressed and flattered and admired her spirit and was like 'oh crap, wait, she actually deserves a chance to learn from Valerie, I feel like garbage and a monster because I'm seeing someone building themselves into a person who doesn't deserve to be tortured'. Like, I wondered if he watched her ready to die for him and fell in love with her then.
This was the first movie I saw in the theater that was, rather intense, & actually made me think more about things this movie projects such as society, government, deceptive practices in both, the way people even simply treat eachother, being your own person as well being part of a collective or group, etc., what "standing for something" rather truely means. So so many things. 😀 I was 17 at the time you know, perfect timing for this. 😆😆 Now around 20 years later, after all what happened between the years 05 & 25. Well, I'm sure there's a few people know what & how I feel. Fantastic movie. Fantastic story. All of it.
Solitary is only an issue for those who cannot be alone with their thoughts, which is why so many "hard" criminals can't handle it. After awhile, they can no longer run away from what they've done or what's happened to them, but most people, rather than facing it in order to overcome it, keep trying to avoid it; this is what causes their mental distress. It's only for those who have this sort of inner turmoil and who are unable and unwilling to face their demons in order to find their peace that solitary confinement is "worse than death."
While there is a grain of truth to what you're saying, longterm isolation and lack of contact has been proven to cause severe mental damage to nearly anyone who experiences it. Most people start hearing voices and talking to themselves because humans have a natural need for some basic level of contact.
I first was introduced to Roger Allam through the Speed Racer live action movie another greatly underrated movie with awesome energy and story telling. A great movie to react to Roger is a great villain
The tv show host stated that he threw out the government approved script and wrote a new one that morning. So the government had no idea that this was what he was going to show on tv which is why they got so angry
42:14 - Screenwriters are always like "okay all we need to do now in the end is for one of the main characters to say 'he was my father' at the end out of nowhere and the audience will go crazy lol" I know this is not necessarily the case for this movie but it's kinda funny to think of how some movies end in that way. Seb was about to flip out though XD
You’ve never heard of The Count of Monte Cristo? It is the quintessential revenge story. There have been at least two movies of it. The novel was written by the author of the Three Musketeers.
This movie taught me how to be free. Freedom is not free. Comfort is crippling. Fear in lies are shackles. Diversity is strength. I sound like Grant from Montypool (perspectively top tier film as well).
I don't know if you've seen it or not, but there is another wachowski movie that I think you might like. It's called Jupiter Ascending, and it's a sci-fi movie with Mila Kunis, Eddie Redmayne, and Channing Tatum. The special effects are incredible, and the action is amazing!
Scary how much this film relates to today's world in the UK. Especially during Covid. Endless Wars and now the tap Water is more contaminated than it's ever been.... I've always said that V needs to exist in today's world. The UK would benefit from him lol.
the chancellor was at home watching the show and was pissed that he broke his glass of warm milk. Gordon said before the show started he threw out the censored approved show and wrote a new one and played it knowing there would be consequences. Since this came out in like 2005 the story takes place in the 2020's. This movie you really have to pay attention to the dialogue.
The fact that this film works as well if not better today than it did in 2005 is crazy. Ive always loved this film, but i love it even more now with how bad the governments got (US specifically in my case)
Hugo Weavings performance in this movie is pretty much the opposite of Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs. Anthony Hopkins has extreme closeups to his face he only has his eyes and small facial movements to portray the character, no gestures and body composure at all. and here we have the opposite, no face at all but its all movement and gestures.
Top 10 Movies That Seb Has To Watch: 1) The Mask 2) Ice Age: Continental Drift 3) True Lies (1994) 4) The Prestige 5) Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes 6) Planet 51 7) Oppenheimer 8) Rio 2 9) Toy Story 3 10) Maze Runner: The Death Cure
10:15 Welp, you caught on to Batman's Cheese. So DC went on a massive trip to steal characters from the pulp magazines. Batman is a plagiarized copy of The Shadow. The Shadow had a villain named The Joker, who was a crazy man who was bombing the city. DC since Gibson has passed away tried to sweep him under the rug. And make the 'Grey Ghost' The hero Bruce Wayne looked up to as a child. I will add the reason specifically for the Shadow going to DC was that Gibson was better friends with Kirby than Lee DC just kinda took ownership of them without trying at all. They took V for Vendetta The Shadow (My great uncle created) Rocketeer
33:35 No. When this came out, people correctly interpreted it to be about 9/11 and 7/7. Because that is explicitly what it is about. "What if the deadliest attack in this country's history wasn't the work of religious extremists?" They say it in the movie.
Roger Allam is the right wing tv presenter - he plays a dead funny pilot character, First Officer Douglas Richardson, in the Radio 4 comedy series called "Cabin Pressure" with Benedict Cumberbatch as his co-pilot. Well worth listening to.

Yeah, are you gonna watch "Blade" at some point?
The Chancellor was never on Gordon’s show. They were just lookalikes, or computer generated fakes of the Chancellor.
Was before deepfakes. It was 2 lookalikes
2 lookalikes. The real Chancellor was watching on TV, you saw his hand shatter the wine glass in rage.
@@madsword19 just to add, it wasn't a wine glass, but a glass of warm milk. so not only were they making fun of big baby sutler, it was actually true lmao.
at this point in time, lookalikes would've been a fine guess, but in my opinion, it was more likely prosthetics and makeup. though that was really john hurt in both roles, note how the faces look significantly paler than their necks. that the faces look like there's a good bit of foundation caked on was likely meant to invoke a fake face, whether makeup and/or prosthetic.
Yeah this part went way over his head lol
V for Vendetta, Watchmen, The Killing Joke, From Hell…
Alan Moore’s ability to write a complex and engaging story is second to none.
You forgot 2 of my favorites of his; Marvelman/Miracleman and Swamp Thing. Moore is quite the prolific writer. And while I see why he isn't a fan of the adaptions of his work, I generally enjoy the movie adaptions of his work.
Quite true.
Agreed
To not have Miracleman/Marvelman or Swamp thing on there is.... I don't know. I recently re-read both of those and man are they great.

The original V for Vendetta was very different, but yes
It’s still so amazing how everyone forgot this is basically a DC movie.
Imagine a DC Cinematic Universe with the Justice League, Watchmen and V.
Now that would be awesome.
Shhh… sh sh shh… we don’t have to talk about that.
Fuck you mean “basically”?! It IS a DC movie!
And a d*mn good one, no less.
A movie based on dc comic books, even if it wasn't its primary superhero universe
Possibly Hugo Weaving's best performance ever and we never even see his face.
Totally! A true testament to his skill as an actor
Some scenes had James Purefoy in them. He was the original casting.
@@LizRealGirlBeauty Good for them both, it's hard to play a role with little recognition for the integrity of the character, and of course the stunt performers were great as well.

Yes, this is very inspired by 1984... and the head of the evil government in this was the HERO of the film adaptation of 1984.
That's kinda funny. The hero in one world became the villain in the other.
You are quite right.
The casting of John Hurt as the chancellor was a nice little homage 😂 I've always wondered if he sought it out or if they approached him with it lol
This movie was one of my absolute favs as a teenager, and I still have the “V” speech memorized from when he meets Evey. One person says, “Voila!” and I devolve into, “in view, a vaudevillian veteran…”
Such a classic- so glad you like it! I can never hear the note from V's cell neighbor without tearing up... to me it's true heart of the movie.
Valerie's note brings me to tears still

The scene where Evie's hair is being shorn, that was Natalie's real hair, and that was her stylist doing it, to ensure it looked as real as possible with just one take.

Yeah but remember to use good thick bread otherwise it falls apart before you take the first bite. 😩
My mother made this for me often as a child. I always loved it.

@@NonokobeBarsam "simp for authoritarianism and the removal of free speech" lmfao people who pretend to be "anti-authroitarian" and virtue signal about "free,e peach" are massive hypocrites. You hate free speech when people use it to prove how horrible, violent, and actually authoritarian you and people like you are.
I love that the news in this was basically like watching the news in 2020.
i love it how you tell the truth about things randomly
Well you definitely need to watch the count of monte cristo from the 2000s
React to both the original and new version
imagine watching this movie in 2005 and living through 2020 like "wait I think I saw this movie before"
ayyy anonymous 😂 that’s exactly the reason why i watched this movie too ngl , i saw the mask and was like “ouu this could be cool” and i wasn’t wrong 🙏🏼 i’m shocked you know of anonymous 😂
It’ll never be lost on me how Stephen Fry and Natalie Portman are in a film about violent oppression, authoritarianism, an inability to move freely, non-secularism in government, and the reactions to this whilst both being huge zi0s.
I love how aware and open minded you are Seb. Thanks for the reactions.
I always wondered if V had meant right from the start to give Evey a speedrun at his life to kill her fear and give her understanding of Valerie's letter, or if he meant to just like, punish her in revenge at the start for betraying him and give her guilt, like 'these are the people you betrayed, these are the monsters you sided with'. But when Evey refused to give any information about V to what she thought were her captors even when they tortured her, V was impressed and flattered and admired her spirit and was like 'oh crap, wait, she actually deserves a chance to learn from Valerie, I feel like garbage and a monster because I'm seeing someone building themselves into a person who doesn't deserve to be tortured'. Like, I wondered if he watched her ready to die for him and fell in love with her then.
Yea this was back in the era when DC was making good superhero movies and Marvel was just starting to find its footing with the first Iron Man
This was the first movie I saw in the theater that was, rather intense, & actually made me think more about things this movie projects such as society, government, deceptive practices in both, the way people even simply treat eachother, being your own person as well being part of a collective or group, etc., what "standing for something" rather truely means. So so many things. 😀 I was 17 at the time you know, perfect timing for this. 😆😆 Now around 20 years later, after all what happened between the years 05 & 25. Well, I'm sure there's a few people know what & how I feel. Fantastic movie. Fantastic story. All of it.
It's always so funny when ppl realise/remember it's a DC movie 😭
One of the few live action DC films that is beautiful
THE FACT THAT THIS IS A DC FILM IS AWESOME
Solitary is only an issue for those who cannot be alone with their thoughts, which is why so many "hard" criminals can't handle it. After awhile, they can no longer run away from what they've done or what's happened to them, but most people, rather than facing it in order to overcome it, keep trying to avoid it; this is what causes their mental distress. It's only for those who have this sort of inner turmoil and who are unable and unwilling to face their demons in order to find their peace that solitary confinement is "worse than death."
While there is a grain of truth to what you're saying, longterm isolation and lack of contact has been proven to cause severe mental damage to nearly anyone who experiences it. Most people start hearing voices and talking to themselves because humans have a natural need for some basic level of contact.
30:20 "... shush girl" 😂😂😂
I first was introduced to Roger Allam through the Speed Racer live action movie another greatly underrated movie with awesome energy and story telling. A great movie to react to Roger is a great villain
The tv show host stated that he threw out the government approved script and wrote a new one that morning. So the government had no idea that this was what he was going to show on tv which is why they got so angry
One of my all time favorite movies and my favorite reactor, perfect combo
40:35 "Better to die standing than to live on your knees."
Clicked on this so fast! One of my favorite movies and so is The Count of Monte Cristo (2002), please react to that one too!
I don't want to admit how many watches it took me to realise and get the Steven Chip pun (but I am also not a native English speaker) so, nice one^^
42:14 - Screenwriters are always like "okay all we need to do now in the end is for one of the main characters to say 'he was my father' at the end out of nowhere and the audience will go crazy lol"
I know this is not necessarily the case for this movie but it's kinda funny to think of how some movies end in that way. Seb was about to flip out though XD
You’ve never heard of The Count of Monte Cristo? It is the quintessential revenge story. There have been at least two movies of it. The novel was written by the author of the Three Musketeers.
This movie taught me how to be free. Freedom is not free. Comfort is crippling. Fear in lies are shackles. Diversity is strength. I sound like Grant from Montypool (perspectively top tier film as well).
Just Like The Start of The Movie Said "You Cannot be in Love With an Idea" so She They DID indeed Love Eachother.
Remember, Remember the 5th of November
I don't know if you've seen it or not, but there is another wachowski movie that I think you might like. It's called Jupiter Ascending, and it's a sci-fi movie with Mila Kunis, Eddie Redmayne, and Channing Tatum. The special effects are incredible, and the action is amazing!
😮
@@beetlebob4675 Yep, and I LOVE it!
i have very few traditions, but watching this film every 5th of november is one of them
Scary how much this film relates to today's world in the UK. Especially during Covid. Endless Wars and now the tap Water is more contaminated than it's ever been....
I've always said that V needs to exist in today's world. The UK would benefit from him lol.
the chancellor was at home watching the show and was pissed that he broke his glass of warm milk. Gordon said before the show started he threw out the censored approved show and wrote a new one and played it knowing there would be consequences. Since this came out in like 2005 the story takes place in the 2020's. This movie you really have to pay attention to the dialogue.
The fact that this film works as well if not better today than it did in 2005 is crazy. Ive always loved this film, but i love it even more now with how bad the governments got (US specifically in my case)
Hugo Weavings performance in this movie is pretty much the opposite of Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs. Anthony Hopkins has extreme closeups to his face he only has his eyes and small facial movements to portray the character, no gestures and body composure at all. and here we have the opposite, no face at all but its all movement and gestures.
Top 10 Movies That Seb Has To Watch:
1) The Mask
2) Ice Age: Continental Drift
3) True Lies (1994)
4) The Prestige
5) Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes
6) Planet 51
7) Oppenheimer
8) Rio 2
9) Toy Story 3
10) Maze Runner: The Death Cure
the fact that the maze runner is in there appalls me.
The Mask, please no/
That movie is terrible, I stand by my statement that the only good Jim Carrey movies are The Truman Show and Liar Liar.
10:15 Welp, you caught on to Batman's Cheese. So DC went on a massive trip to steal characters from the pulp magazines. Batman is a plagiarized copy of The Shadow. The Shadow had a villain named The Joker, who was a crazy man who was bombing the city. DC since Gibson has passed away tried to sweep him under the rug. And make the 'Grey Ghost' The hero Bruce Wayne looked up to as a child. I will add the reason specifically for the Shadow going to DC was that Gibson was better friends with Kirby than Lee
DC just kinda took ownership of them without trying at all. They took
V for Vendetta
The Shadow (My great uncle created)
Rocketeer
He should check out the Rocketeer, it's a great movie
I would never have imagined that you hadn't already seen this. Greatly looking forward to watching this reaction for sure.
33:35 No. When this came out, people correctly interpreted it to be about 9/11 and 7/7. Because that is explicitly what it is about. "What if the deadliest attack in this country's history wasn't the work of religious extremists?" They say it in the movie.
the 2002 version of the Count of Monte Cristo is a great film, should def react to it.
Roger Allam is the right wing tv presenter - he plays a dead funny pilot character, First Officer Douglas Richardson, in the Radio 4 comedy series called "Cabin Pressure" with Benedict Cumberbatch as his co-pilot. Well worth listening to.
Much recommend The Count of Monte Cristo from 2002
One my favourite movies of all time - works on so many levels and oooh still so relevant.
The Count of Monte Cristo with Jim Caviezel and Guy Pierce is great!
My eyes light up because this is my favorite movie!
Highly highly highly recommend The Count of Monte Cristo from 2002, easily one of my top ten films of all time.
