Something the movie left out that was in the comic it's based on. When V was a prisoner in Larkhill he was a model prisoner. So much so that he was allowed to work in the camp's garden. While there he cultivated the Scarlet Carson rose he puts on his victims and brought it back from the brink of extinction (hence why the doctor knew it was him by the rose). While he was working in the garden he snuck away fertilizer and created the bombs that tore through the camp that allowed him to escape. I think it's a nice little bit of info that helps people understand a few small bits.
V and Evey relation is very different aswell, considering she's a minor in the comic, it's more of a father/daughter relation. I mean, practically everything is different, but both are amazing pieces
The virus development at Larkhill was twofold. The virue had to be devastating, terrifying and lethal but STABLE not mutations or variant strains. They also needed a cure that was 100% effective. V's abilities were unique side effects. He was the stable version. The weapon AND the cure. A wonderful detail to mention that I don't hear people pick up on is the chalk that V gives to Creedy. If Creedy accepts, he signals this by marking his door with a white X. This is how the doors were marked in Larkhill when the occupant was dead. V got Creedy to mark himself as a dead man. Such a beautiful little touch that shows the complexity and symmetry of V's plot.
The chancellor wanted terror so he wouldn't have released the virus unless the cure was already there. However, it had to be "discovered" legitimately when the time was right which is why trusted operatives were in charge of the operation at Larkhill.
V (Hugo Weaving) is the main villain in The Matrix, and Elrond in the Lord Of The Rings (and he's done a bunch of other stuff). Good actor, great voice.
Wow this movie hits hard this week after the election we just had and the parallels that can be made with the anti culture that is prevalent in america. Freedom and hope for all is a powerful message that should never be forgoten. Gandhi said that you can judge a nation by how they treat the most vulnerable people in it. Love your reaction.
V had to die, it was pointed out in the "domino" sequence. He was the one domino that prevented the entire pattern to fall in place. If he survived there was a threat that he would become the new Chancellor or somebody would use him to become one. He removed all people of power so a new system can be built from scratch.
Personally I took it more as him seeing Evey as the lynchpin for the future rather than himself. In that moment he realized that it would take someone with less hate than him to usher in the new world and decided to leave that future in Evey's hands.
It's insane that this comic came out as a response to Thatcher, and the movie came out as a response to Bush, and here we are in 2024 and it no longer even seems far fetched or exaggerated.
Comic as a response to Thatcher, movie as response to Doubya Bush, using themes from 1930s Germany, and post-war Eastern Bloc secret polices, and it's still relevant today. It's almost like we never learn and still keep buying into the fearmongering. Like the commenter above me.
Two things i want to say about V for Vendetta. 1. In my opinion this is the best movie the Wachowskis ever made. Yes, i think it it superior to The Matrix. For while The Matrix was groundbreaking in the SciFi genre, V for Vendetta is a often overlooked but almost timeless classic that is even more relevant today then it was back then. Think about it, this movie was released in 2005 - it is 20 years old next year - and it is still very relevant. 2. This is Natalie Portmans best performance in any movie i know she took part in. I know that she eventually won an Oscar for Black Swan but she should have at least have gotten a nomination for her role in V for Vendatta.
Lark Hill was the facility that was used to develop both the virus and the cure for the virus. As others here have noted, Lark Hill was for "undesirables". When I was living in Germany, not far from my home was an Nazi work camp from WWII called Buchenwald, which is now a museum. During the war it was one of the camps that was purposed not to hold Jews, but for the government's version of undesirables - homosexuals, Gypsies, political criminals, mentally and physically handicapped, foreigners, etc. These prisoners would have been the same people were held at the fictional Lark Hill. I went to the Buchenwald museum once, and I was so deeply affected that I was never able to go back. As opposed to the Nazi death camps of Poland such as Auschwitz, people weren't sent to Buchenwald just to be systematically executed, but they were starved, tortured and worked to death. They did have ovens, but they were used for the dead bodies of those who died, and those killed when the population of the camp became too high. People caught trying to escape were often killed by having the guard dogs sicced upon them in front of other prisoners. Many were experimented upon for what they justified as "scientific" reasons, and they had cells for some experimental victims much like those depicted in "V for Vendetta". It was a horrific place and is the closest thing I can think of to what Lark Hill was in this film.
Larkhill is not fictional, it has been an "army" Garrison since 1915. Supposedly it is the Garrison for the Royal Artillery, however there have always been rumours about what else went on there. I worked around that area in the early 1970's for the MoD and I can confirm that there were definitely some VERY HIGH security facilities there. Officially it was not the real base for Britain's viral/biological weaponry research, that was Porton Down (or that is what we told the Russians) Porton Down of course is about 10 miles south of Larkhill
1:08 For context, Vertigo Comics was an imprint of DC Comics created in 1993 to focus on more mature, adult-oriented comic books. Some of these comics were connected to the greater DC Universe (the "World of Heroes"), such as Hellblazer, Lucifer, Sandman, and Hitman, while others, like Fables, Y: The Last Man, Preacher, and The Invisibles, were set in their own standalone universes. The comics that did take place in the mainline DC Universe, such as Sandman ranged in how much they referenced the larger universe, often existing in their own isolated bubbles. This gave writers the freedom to pick how connected they wanted these stories to be to the greater universe. V for Vendetta is one of those comics that exists in its own universe, separate from the world of Batman, Superman, Flash, and Wonder Woman. It has no connection to the DC Universe beyond being published by DC. While one could argue that it technically exists within the DC Multiverse, a crossover between the two worlds is highly unlikely. V For Vendetta was originally published in black and white as a serial in the British anthology Warrior between 1982 and 1985. When Warrior was canceled, the story was left unfinished, but several publishers tried to get Moore and Lloyd to let them complete it. In 1988, DC Comics stepped in, reprinting the Warrior stories in color as a ten-issue series and finishing the story. Future releases of V For Vendetta would be published under Vertigo Comics imprint.
And the run in Warrior was left unfinished with the final panel being Evey leaving her cell and realising she was in the Shadow Gallery, with V saying "Welcome Home" Hell of a cliffhanger to take us contemporary readers over the next several years till the run was completed!
I think think you're the first person I've seen including myself to immediately clock that Evie was just playing nice and waiting for a chance to get out, at the start! It's so easy to believe in them working together immediately because so much of what she says about her reasons to want to Resist is honest. But I must remind myself most people don't just flip a switch, radically break off from their lives and become revolutionaries overnight :)
@@AlbiDartanan If you examine Trumps lust for autocracy, totalitarianism and project 2025´s blueprint for Christian nationalism, the depiction of the movie is in the works.
Camilla... I am glad that you enjoyed this incredible dystopian future movie. It is my favorite. I loved watching it with you. There is a lot to unpack. Several more viewing will help. The love story component is quite touching. ❤Ciao
So the movie gets some of it's inspiration/imagery etc from the book 1984. Fun little thing is that John Hurt plays Chancellor Sutler (Big Brother) in this movie while in the 1984 movie he played Winston.
V (Hugo Weaving), if you have seen The Matrix, played the role of... Agent Smith. (The one who becomes the entire world in the 3rd movie.) He also played the role of Elron, in The Lord of the Rings. The one thing I “remember” was just hearing and listening to his voice and I was “Darn Gosh, I know that voice.” And when it finally came to me... the first sentence was “Mister Anderson.” Also, Wolverine is Marvel, not DC. It's okay, there are a lot of Super Heros out there. If you are not into it as much as others, it is quite understandable to mix them up.
While Equilibrium isn’t as good as this, it IS underrated IMO. Didn’t really get much good marketing and hence not much of an audience at the time of release. It has a great cast, with an excellent early adult Christian Bale performance, some similar dystopian themes as Vendetta and some very cool action.
You wanted to know more about V's character, but even he didn't know his past, "he no longer remembered who he was" because of what they did to him. However if the was in Lark hill, that means he was an 'undesirable'
Since you mentioned Mr Robot is one of your favourite TV shows the Guy Fawkes mask in this movie went on to be used by 4chan's 'anonymous' which in turn influenced Mr Robots use of a mask.
And to add to the irony, anonymous as a group went on to basically became the equivalent of the Fingermen with their doxxing of people they considered undesirables. They kinda missed the entire point of the film about power corrupting if it's rooted in hate.
This story always struck me as odd in that it's about a man who plots to set bombs to overthrow a theocracy, while wearing a mask based on a man who plotted to set bombs to create a Catholic theocracy.
It’s not realistic. It’s a very moving film about resisting tyranny. IRL, I don’t believe in bombing buildings, or murdering people, but I love this film.

A little off topic but this movie is a masterclass in lighting. It is amazing all the emotions they captured with a subtle change in light. Also, you give off a Jenna vibe from the office.
Camilla, cute do! I'm feeling a bit like early Evie Hammond today - scared all the time now. I'm glad you've watched this movie now. I'd call it a timely warning for everyone. Keep your wits about you because times are changing.
So glad I found this reaction. This is one of my favorite films and i loved Mr. Robot as well. I see you reacted to Shawshank too, another all time great movie. Really looking forward to seeing what else you have in store for us
We're not meant to see his identity because V serves as a powerful symbol of resistance, transformation, and the possibility of reclaiming humanity's dignity and freedom in the face of oppression. His role as a catalyst is deeply tied to both the suffering endured by society and the potential for collective awakening.
Hey, this is the first video from your channel that I watch and I'm just in love with your reaction!! You are not only very beatiful, but also so sweet and empathetic ❤ I've just subscribbed to your channel and I'm looking forward to whatch your other videos 🥰 Please, keep doing this great job, you are incredible!!
Content creator.... ive purchased this outstanding movie 🎬 plus the soundtrack.. this movie was made during the bush admin (cerca 2005-6), the reason being guantanamo bay, bags over prisoners, bush spying servalance.. trump is going the same thing... religious right, hatred of gays, etc etc.. this is what this movie depicts.. Ive watched this movie 'bout 15times it brings 😢 tears to my eyes how ppl can be so ugly.. watching 👀 you view this for the 1st time is extraordinarily compelling and funny as hell 😂 i love it.. seeing your reactions makes me vicariously feel like im did watching it for the 1st time.. your shock at the bishop was priceless 😅😂... The guy playing V was also the antagonist (man, after Neo) in the matrix trilogy... again this movie is about how any country trys to impose totalitarian rule over the masses using lies.. (trump, putin).. Please make more 🙏 vids i adore authentication.... subscribed 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Edit.. they were trying to develop a way to kill without destroying the infrastructure... they used the cure to make money... V kept Evey in order to keep his secret (after nov. V) while V tortured Evey, V admitted: " i wanted to end in it, but you never gave in" in other words if Evey had broke V would've had to Kill her... he didn't want to fall in love due to his disfiguration, knowing this all he wanted revenge in addition to the actress... if you recall 9/11 ppl were suspicious of bush (possibly) allowing it to happen.. this was the atmosphere inwhich this movie 🎬 was produced... the soundtrack was just as compelling ❤ V for vendetta is one of my top 10 movie all time...
Is he a Terrorist? or is he a Freedom Fighter? Yes. Hugo Weaving's best work in my opinion. The fact that V is such a memorable character and stays behind the mask the whole time is just a masterclass in acting.
There are so so many classic and fantastic movies to watch. There are so very many actors' careers to delve into. You have quite the journey ahead of you, and I hope that we can help to guide you through it
38:18 😊 as an older person … this set of scenarios, in conjunction with each other, however ironic! Is the spectrum of human memory, of all coupling ever to warm the privacy of our ancient past. Those cloistered moments of heightened danger that became the foundations of Ultimate Trust! 😌
"So, Valerie is Real?... She was probably in prison with him." At 22:20 is the shot of her getting her head shaved with clear skin and then standing in the injection line with sores on her face. "They" didn't only take Evie's brother from her. Her parents were sent to Lark Hill where they certainly died. She was sent to an orphanage/detention center. They took her whole life away. Despite the fact that this movie was released 22 years ago and that the comic is even older the story is a lot more pertinent to today's world. Our last election was on the 5th of November.
This was a great reaction, enjoying your channel and picks so far! This is one of my all time favourite movies. Such an important and poignant message. But I just couldn't watch it this year, because it was all a bit too real with election night... the graphic novel from the mid 80's and the film are unfortunately still relevant today, and seemingly getting more relevant by the day.
You started with some hard hitting choices with the two opening films you began your channel with. I take it, since you don't know who Hugo Weaving is, you haven't seen "The Matrix" or the Lord of the Rings trilogy yet. It's crazy you work in the film industry and yet are such a neophyte with seeing movies. Interesting combination, but I'm not complaining. The reason I watch UA-cam reactors is to be able to see the movies I love for the first time all over again through your eyes. I look forward to the journey.
@@voodoochile333 it's because they are very popular and will get views, fastest way to build a channel. Not that I'm complaining lol I want to see them
The thing I loved about this Film/Graphic Novel, was how it showed the methods used by people to shape and control a narrative to gain power over others. Fear is a primary motivator, and when you make people afraid they are very willing to hand over their own freedoms to cure that Fear. Vilifying an external enemy is another narrative used by these people; this movie used enemies that are commonly used such Immigrants, Homosexuals, persons of a number of religious groups, etc. You can literally watch this film and draw valid comparisons to actual events that have happened in the past and even in the present.
Excellent reaction, thank you for the content! Your vibe and intellect are impeccable, looking forward to future vids! Much luv from a new subscriber✌️💚
Natalie Portman, u all know... Hugo Weaving ('V') also played 'Agent Smith' in 'The Matrix' trilogy... and the Elf King 'Elrond' in 'Lord of the Rings'... John Hurt (Chancellor Adam Sutler) also played 'Kane' in the first 'Alien' movie and the wand-maker 'Ollivander' in the 'Harry Potter' movies... Comedian Stephen Fry played 'Gordon Dietrich', Evey's boss who gave her shelter (and likely aided 'V' in his plot)
V for Vendetta is my top favorite DC Vertigo movie and it makes me wish to see Spy Smasher, Sandman (Wesley Dodds) and Anarky be as cinematic as V himself. I am a hardcore DC comics fan mainly because DC is home for the Batman who my favorite hero of all is.
John Hurt, in my opinion, was very much at his best in his latter years. In this movie, he only really appears on the giant screen, but his presence is so powerful, tyrannical, and just a touch vulnerable (as all despots are). Also, his role in The Proposition is superb and intense.
I liked it! Great reaction 😊 That voice! The first time I saw it was like this actor is epic and we don't even see his face! I feel that he created a character that... was totally separate from any other role. Like I can't even picture the actor as V. The masked V has become indelible as a character... I don't actually want to know if he played the role physically inside the suit or if he was just the voice. Let's leave he character, nay the "idea" of V as forever masked...
This movie does a less-than-stellar job of reflecting: the abject horror, amorality (as opposed to simple "immorality!") and personal agony reflected in Alan Moore's original series (or later graphic novel collected version). The tactics and characters' practices and beliefs in the story are DIRECTLY derived from: soviet practices, developed within and specifically for: their gulag system (which most people are barely aware of or understand anything about.-certainly not firsthand and rarely, even: "third or fourth"-hand,). This system was used (and continues to be, currently, still) to torture and psychologically & emotionally disfigure, alter and torture: regular, average citizens and any person or family of: a nation or area occupied, but by having been made to suffer invasion, occupation, violation (already!), demarcated as: "less than human and worthy, solely, of utter contempt." (not what would in the rest-of-the-world called: "enemies" or "rivals"...this is because: ALL people could be demarcated/labelled: "enemies of the state" or "political rivals" or simply, "unfit" and subject to the agonies and violations of any-even the VAGUEST, LEAST- measure of reasonable consideration or treatment, which were set-up to be practiced by those who were found to already and then trained to further: enjoy and, in fact, revel, in: creating agony and terror. Those, in fact: correctly and unavoidably deemed and understood to be: utterly inhuman and intolerable to be permitted to exist, ever, anywhere, whatsoever.) The most vile system ever created. It is true that writer: Alan Moore, when he wrote this story, was NOT referring to soviet society at all (while using the tenets and facts of its practices and assertions as "descriptive tools"🤬🤬), but rather: this series was his commentary on: how he felt England was threatened to become and/or being turned into and, to degrees, already was (in his eyes, and the eyes of many there ,as well): "a totalitarian state." ...An equivalent reflection of the system, described and illustrated here; under the "Thatcher gov't." of the 1980s and 1990s. This was his intent and what he meant to warn against and describe. ...but (as delineated above!), he employed: already existing, practiced methods and designed organizations and practices to bring "weight" and accurate emotion..., to his story, characters and his complaints. --The screenwriters & filmmaker, here, actually "whitewashed" (to some degree), as well as: exacerbated/exaggerated the violence and terror (turning much of the violence into: direct, revenge-oriented "fantasy glory" and playing on the simplest, weakest, easiest-to-play-on: "instincts"(🙄) and manipulable emotions of the majority of the, uneducated, uncaring-to-be, expected viewing public. That said: the movie is still effective ....but: it isn't what it should be, at all. The VAST majority of "people" (and I use that epithet loosely, here) who watch this and believe they understand ANYTHING about it or its intent (or claim that "it speaks to them"🙄🙄 or "is prophetic" 🙄🙄🤦🤦🤬‼🤬) ... are fu**ing, numbn*ts dumbn**s, shi**tains;completely unaware of what is being spoken to or of and who have pre-teen, bathroom-break "revolution" pseudo-emotions and minuscule-minded, utterly unprepared, primarily or totally uneducated and unaware mental insistences (like many 12 or 13 year-olds think that they can, "should," or do🤬🙄🙄). They do not understand that: this story is about: yes: "human frailty" and refusal to acknowledge self-error and a lack of deservance of power (particularly: absolute power!) and ignorance (and the willing to indefensibly: expand and protect those!), but, also: on past events and occurrences and times. They make idiotic assumptions such as: that this 'calls out' for "revolution." ...That (somehow) "all revolution is good" 🙄(or somesuch thing) and that any violence they imagine or allow is "defensible" 🙄🙄and "deserved" 🙄(because THEY feel that it "must be"/"should be"🤬) and "is excused because"🙄🙄🙄: these imagined "revolutions" a) "always work"🙄 🤦 b) are "inevitable" 🤦🤦🤬🤬 c) "always need to happen" 🙄🤬 d( ..."if I FEEL 'deserving,' ...'warranted' ...that (automatically 🙄) 'makes me right!' "....🙄🤬 ...all of which: are utter sh*t and are not supported or extolled by Moore's writing, whatsoever. 🤬 [This film, also, created the market for and increased (exponentially) the popularity of and knowledge about: Guy Fawkes (outside of England, directly) and the Guy Fawkes mask, directly. - That should, nearly, go without saying, I think, but.... 🤷]
Since the original graphic novel is the works of mad genius Alan Moore, I guess there is hardly anyone currently alive on Earth who "gets" the whole story. He sometimes converses with an ancient snake god, so we might have to wait for ascension to a higher level of consciousness to do that.
One of the last times I've seen this I saw it with Addie Recounts, wait, Addie Counter? Addie Reacts! That's it! Anyways, I swore I was going to remember remember the 5th of September, oops, November! Hmmmm, Remember.. September.. Sounds like a cool song lyric. This movie always makes me wonder and ask questions over and over. One of these days I'll piece it together but likely not.
Yes, Larkhill existed to fine-tune the virus, but the female doctor who became the coroner didn't know. As per her diary, she thought she was working on immunity research or something similar. She had to die, though, because of her absolute culpability.
@@voodoochile333 Two of my favorite Hendrix songs are Voodoo child and Highway chile, Pulp fiction is fairly rated, changed all the cinema that came after. Hendrix is my favorite guitarist for the pionerism, Pulp Fiction is the same case.
The only part I like is the hamburger scene, everything else is so forgettable. I don't even know who Bruce Willis is in that movie. I can't think of a memorable line except Sam Jacksons bible verse and something about Amsterdam having the metric system. The non linear story is interesting. I think Reservoir Dogs is a better film in every single way. Better acting, better characters, much better plot, better pacing and much better filmmaking. All on a lower budget too.
@@voodoochile333 You should watch again, dialogue is sharp in all corners, trust me, it's a amazing movie and far from forgettable, maybe if you watch now as a different person you may have a different opinion.
This movie deals with what can be justified, and when and how it can be justified. V is definitely crossing a lot of moral and legal lines, that we usually hold firmly to. He's a terrorist, revolutionary, murderer, abductor, and torturer. He's fighting an extremely oppressive government, and trying to engage a population that's either terrified or apathetic, his enemies are clearly evil, he's clearly justified in feeling extreme anger, and, in the end, both Evie and society benefits from his extreme actions. So, is he justified? If he went too far (clearly he did, imo), then by how much? What would've been justified? It's also a kinky love story (masks, abduction, torture, and death qualifies as _very_ kinky, imo), but I'll leave that alone.
Great reaction! Please react to, The Accountant with Ben Affleck and Anna Kendrick, and Wind River with Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olson, and Eagle Eye with Shia Labeouf, Michelle Monahan, Billy Bob Thornton and Rosario Dawson!
Something the movie left out that was in the comic it's based on. When V was a prisoner in Larkhill he was a model prisoner. So much so that he was allowed to work in the camp's garden. While there he cultivated the Scarlet Carson rose he puts on his victims and brought it back from the brink of extinction (hence why the doctor knew it was him by the rose). While he was working in the garden he snuck away fertilizer and created the bombs that tore through the camp that allowed him to escape. I think it's a nice little bit of info that helps people understand a few small bits.
Thanks. 😃👍
Woah!!! that's so f@#%ing dope & perfect. That deserved atleast a 2min flashback!!!
Very nice context they should have bothered to include
V and Evey relation is very different aswell, considering she's a minor in the comic, it's more of a father/daughter relation. I mean, practically everything is different, but both are amazing pieces
The virus development at Larkhill was twofold. The virue had to be devastating, terrifying and lethal but STABLE not mutations or variant strains. They also needed a cure that was 100% effective. V's abilities were unique side effects. He was the stable version. The weapon AND the cure.
A wonderful detail to mention that I don't hear people pick up on is the chalk that V gives to Creedy. If Creedy accepts, he signals this by marking his door with a white X. This is how the doors were marked in Larkhill when the occupant was dead. V got Creedy to mark himself as a dead man. Such a beautiful little touch that shows the complexity and symmetry of V's plot.
The chancellor wanted terror so he wouldn't have released the virus unless the cure was already there. However, it had to be "discovered" legitimately when the time was right which is why trusted operatives were in charge of the operation at Larkhill.
The entire movie is rife with symmetry
V (Hugo Weaving) is the main villain in The Matrix, and Elrond in the Lord Of The Rings (and he's done a bunch of other stuff). Good actor, great voice.
Agent Smith!!!
Tick!
He’s also great as a drag queen in “Priscilla Queen of the Desert.”
Great and Great
Wow this movie hits hard this week after the election we just had and the parallels that can be made with the anti culture that is prevalent in america.

What a true line .. What a great film.
Current governments in the western world are going to learn this the hard way over the next few years

V had to die, it was pointed out in the "domino" sequence. He was the one domino that prevented the entire pattern to fall in place. If he survived there was a threat that he would become the new Chancellor or somebody would use him to become one. He removed all people of power so a new system can be built from scratch.
This is smart. I never thought about that. Thank's
In the comics V does it to implement an Anarchist society.
Personally I took it more as him seeing Evey as the lynchpin for the future rather than himself. In that moment he realized that it would take someone with less hate than him to usher in the new world and decided to leave that future in Evey's hands.
It's amazing how a single life can change an entire country.... 🎉😂😅
In the original graphic novel, V died lot earlier in the story.
It's insane that this comic came out as a response to Thatcher, and the movie came out as a response to Bush, and here we are in 2024 and it no longer even seems far fetched or exaggerated.
also there's a ton of comics that fall outside of the big DC and Marvel titles that would make for great reactions.
Fortunately, Trump won.

Agreed.
Two things i want to say about V for Vendetta.
1. In my opinion this is the best movie the Wachowskis ever made. Yes, i think it it superior to The Matrix. For while The Matrix was groundbreaking in the SciFi genre, V for Vendetta is a often overlooked but almost timeless classic that is even more relevant today then it was back then. Think about it, this movie was released in 2005 - it is 20 years old next year - and it is still very relevant.
2. This is Natalie Portmans best performance in any movie i know she took part in. I know that she eventually won an Oscar for Black Swan but she should have at least have gotten a nomination for her role in V for Vendatta.
I agree ts better thanbthe Matrix movies, but Cloud Atlas is better than this.
Lark Hill was the facility that was used to develop both the virus and the cure for the virus. As others here have noted, Lark Hill was for "undesirables".
When I was living in Germany, not far from my home was an Nazi work camp from WWII called Buchenwald, which is now a museum. During the war it was one of the camps that was purposed not to hold Jews, but for the government's version of undesirables - homosexuals, Gypsies, political criminals, mentally and physically handicapped, foreigners, etc. These prisoners would have been the same people were held at the fictional Lark Hill. I went to the Buchenwald museum once, and I was so deeply affected that I was never able to go back.
As opposed to the Nazi death camps of Poland such as Auschwitz, people weren't sent to Buchenwald just to be systematically executed, but they were starved, tortured and worked to death. They did have ovens, but they were used for the dead bodies of those who died, and those killed when the population of the camp became too high. People caught trying to escape were often killed by having the guard dogs sicced upon them in front of other prisoners. Many were experimented upon for what they justified as "scientific" reasons, and they had cells for some experimental victims much like those depicted in "V for Vendetta". It was a horrific place and is the closest thing I can think of to what Lark Hill was in this film.
Larkhill is not fictional, it has been an "army" Garrison since 1915. Supposedly it is the Garrison for the Royal Artillery, however there have always been rumours about what else went on there. I worked around that area in the early 1970's for the MoD and I can confirm that there were definitely some VERY HIGH security facilities there. Officially it was not the real base for Britain's viral/biological weaponry research, that was Porton Down (or that is what we told the Russians) Porton Down of course is about 10 miles south of Larkhill
1:08 For context, Vertigo Comics was an imprint of DC Comics created in 1993 to focus on more mature, adult-oriented comic books. Some of these comics were connected to the greater DC Universe (the "World of Heroes"), such as Hellblazer, Lucifer, Sandman, and Hitman, while others, like Fables, Y: The Last Man, Preacher, and The Invisibles, were set in their own standalone universes. The comics that did take place in the mainline DC Universe, such as Sandman ranged in how much they referenced the larger universe, often existing in their own isolated bubbles. This gave writers the freedom to pick how connected they wanted these stories to be to the greater universe.
V for Vendetta is one of those comics that exists in its own universe, separate from the world of Batman, Superman, Flash, and Wonder Woman. It has no connection to the DC Universe beyond being published by DC. While one could argue that it technically exists within the DC Multiverse, a crossover between the two worlds is highly unlikely.
V For Vendetta was originally published in black and white as a serial in the British anthology Warrior between 1982 and 1985. When Warrior was canceled, the story was left unfinished, but several publishers tried to get Moore and Lloyd to let them complete it. In 1988, DC Comics stepped in, reprinting the Warrior stories in color as a ten-issue series and finishing the story. Future releases of V For Vendetta would be published under Vertigo Comics imprint.
And the run in Warrior was left unfinished with the final panel being Evey leaving her cell and realising she was in the Shadow Gallery, with V saying "Welcome Home"
Hell of a cliffhanger to take us contemporary readers over the next several years till the run was completed!
Oh damn. Y: The last man was SO good.
You should check the film 1984 where John Hurt (the chancellor) is in the opposite role.
What a way to capstone a career, with those 2 movies to bookend your acting resume.
I think think you're the first person I've seen including myself to immediately clock that Evie was just playing nice and waiting for a chance to get out, at the start! It's so easy to believe in them working together immediately because so much of what she says about her reasons to want to Resist is honest. But I must remind myself most people don't just flip a switch, radically break off from their lives and become revolutionaries overnight :)
best UK documentary
The left is destroying the UK, not the right.
Dark humour at its best...
just hope that it will not turn in US documentary (RFK Jr. wants Trump to remove fluoride from water ....) ....
@@AlbiDartanan No country that's first world does it(Aside from Ireland). You can get what you need from flouridated toothpaste.
@@AlbiDartanan If you examine Trumps lust for autocracy, totalitarianism and project 2025´s blueprint for Christian nationalism, the depiction of the movie is in the works.
We in the West forget that people in countries like China, Russia, North Korea and Iran live under this sort of repression
Try Children of Men for some more dystopia set in the UK.
Great choice🫡
Camilla... I am glad that you enjoyed this incredible dystopian future movie. It is my favorite. I loved watching it with you. There is a lot to unpack. Several more viewing will help. The love story component is quite touching. ❤Ciao
Oh yeah, the British celebrate the 5th of November. Guy Fawks was a real guy. Very interesting story.
So the movie gets some of it's inspiration/imagery etc from the book 1984. Fun little thing is that John Hurt plays Chancellor Sutler (Big Brother) in this movie while in the 1984 movie he played Winston.
V (Hugo Weaving), if you have seen The Matrix, played the role of... Agent Smith. (The one who becomes the entire world in the 3rd movie.) He also played the role of Elron, in The Lord of the Rings.
The one thing I “remember” was just hearing and listening to his voice and I was “Darn Gosh, I know that voice.” And when it finally came to me... the first sentence was “Mister Anderson.”
Also, Wolverine is Marvel, not DC. It's okay, there are a lot of Super Heros out there. If you are not into it as much as others, it is quite understandable to mix them up.
If you like dystopian movies I highly recommend Equilibrium with Christian Bale.
I was thinking about Equilibrium (2002) as well. That's a fun movie... in a dystopian way.
& fahrenheit 451 (1966)
Oh, I was not aware that there was a movie adaptation. I have only read the book. Gonna have to check it out.
While Equilibrium isn’t as good as this, it IS underrated IMO. Didn’t really get much good marketing and hence not much of an audience at the time of release. It has a great cast, with an excellent early adult Christian Bale performance, some similar dystopian themes as Vendetta and some very cool action.
3:12 Quite the vocabulary 😂😂
hahahah it was such a great opportunity 😎
@@camillascornerWell played.
Thank you, thank you, thank you - one of the only reactors to include the "they are perspectives" part of the monologue. Much appreciated!
You wanted to know more about V's character, but even he didn't know his past, "he no longer remembered who he was" because of what they did to him. However if the was in Lark hill, that means he was an 'undesirable'
One of my favorite movies of all time. And V’s alliterative soliloquy at the beginning is the best speech ever.
Omfg yes first Shawshank now v for vendetta this channel is already goated
Frfr. And her reactions are pretty great
You do realise all reaction channels do the same movies eventually?
Let me guess the next movie, terminator, alien or the green mile
This was based on a graphic novel by british creator Alan Moore. The novel was published by Vertigo that was part of DC comics.
Great performance by Hugo Weaving
Yes, she actually did have her hair cut off for this film.
They say the tears were real
Since you mentioned Mr Robot is one of your favourite TV shows the Guy Fawkes mask in this movie went on to be used by 4chan's 'anonymous' which in turn influenced Mr Robots use of a mask.
And to add to the irony, anonymous as a group went on to basically became the equivalent of the Fingermen with their doxxing of people they considered undesirables. They kinda missed the entire point of the film about power corrupting if it's rooted in hate.
Crazy how UK is currently becoming exactly what this movie portrays
This story always struck me as odd in that it's about a man who plots to set bombs to overthrow a theocracy, while wearing a mask based on a man who plotted to set bombs to create a Catholic theocracy.
It’s not realistic. It’s a very moving film about resisting tyranny. IRL, I don’t believe in bombing buildings, or murdering people, but I love this film.
@@FilmBuff54 Agreed!! We should always fight tyranny!! *_Fight! Fight! Fight!_*
My birthday is November 5th.

A little off topic but this movie is a masterclass in lighting. It is amazing all the emotions they captured with a subtle change in light.
Also, you give off a Jenna vibe from the office.
Camilla, cute do!
I'm feeling a bit like early Evie Hammond today - scared all the time now. I'm glad you've watched this movie now. I'd call it a timely warning for everyone. Keep your wits about you because times are changing.
Absolutely my favourite Film, ever!
So glad I found this reaction. This is one of my favorite films and i loved Mr. Robot as well. I see you reacted to Shawshank too, another all time great movie. Really looking forward to seeing what else you have in store for us
We're not meant to see his identity because V serves as a powerful symbol of resistance, transformation, and the possibility of reclaiming humanity's dignity and freedom in the face of oppression. His role as a catalyst is deeply tied to both the suffering endured by society and the potential for collective awakening.
One of the best movies of all time imo. Remember remember
Hey, this is the first video from your channel that I watch and I'm just in love with your reaction!!
You are not only very beatiful, but also so sweet and empathetic ❤
I've just subscribbed to your channel and I'm looking forward to whatch your other videos 🥰
Please, keep doing this great job, you are incredible!!
Great video! Good to have you on board as a reactor.
I love this movie, it was fun to see somebody that has no idea what to expect watch it and get wrapped up in it.
Content creator.... ive purchased this outstanding movie 🎬 plus the soundtrack.. this movie was made during the bush admin (cerca 2005-6), the reason being guantanamo bay, bags over prisoners, bush spying servalance.. trump is going the same thing... religious right, hatred of gays, etc etc.. this is what this movie depicts..
Ive watched this movie 'bout 15times it brings 😢 tears to my eyes how ppl can be so ugly.. watching 👀 you view this for the 1st time is extraordinarily compelling and funny as hell 😂 i love it.. seeing your reactions makes me vicariously feel like im did watching it for the 1st time.. your shock at the bishop was priceless 😅😂...
The guy playing V was also the antagonist (man, after Neo) in the matrix trilogy... again this movie is about how any country trys to impose totalitarian rule over the masses using lies.. (trump, putin)..
Please make more 🙏 vids i adore authentication.... subscribed 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Edit.. they were trying to develop a way to kill without destroying the infrastructure... they used the cure to make money... V kept Evey in order to keep his secret (after nov. V) while V tortured Evey, V admitted: " i wanted to end in it, but you never gave in" in other words if Evey had broke V would've had to Kill her... he didn't want to fall in love due to his disfiguration, knowing this all he wanted revenge in addition to the actress...
if you recall 9/11 ppl were suspicious of bush (possibly) allowing it to happen.. this was the atmosphere inwhich this movie 🎬 was produced... the soundtrack was just as compelling ❤
V for vendetta is one of my top 10 movie all time...
Is he a Terrorist? or is he a Freedom Fighter? Yes.
Hugo Weaving's best work in my opinion. The fact that V is such a memorable character and stays behind the mask the whole time is just a masterclass in acting.
one of the best movies of all time
Great reaction! First time to your channel gonna check your playlist! (Edit) Ok lol just 2 movies but both Great Movies! Gonna go watch the other now!
There are so so many classic and fantastic movies to watch. There are so very many actors' careers to delve into. You have quite the journey ahead of you, and I hope that we can help to guide you through it
38:18 😊 as an older person … this set of scenarios, in conjunction with each other, however ironic! Is the spectrum of human memory, of all coupling ever to warm the privacy of our ancient past. Those cloistered moments of heightened danger that became the foundations of Ultimate Trust! 😌
a lot of interesting themes, dialogue, and social commentary in this movie
Enjoyed your commentary! Well done.
"So, Valerie is Real?... She was probably in prison with him."
At 22:20 is the shot of her getting her head shaved with clear skin and then standing in the injection line with sores on her face.
"They" didn't only take Evie's brother from her. Her parents were sent to Lark Hill where they certainly died. She was sent to an orphanage/detention center. They took her whole life away.
Despite the fact that this movie was released 22 years ago and that the comic is even older the story is a lot more pertinent to today's world.
Our last election was on the 5th of November.
Great reaction to one of my favorite movies ever! Thank you!!!
This was a great reaction, enjoying your channel and picks so far!
This is one of my all time favourite movies. Such an important and poignant message. But I just couldn't watch it this year, because it was all a bit too real with election night... the graphic novel from the mid 80's and the film are unfortunately still relevant today, and seemingly getting more relevant by the day.
I know the feeling. Keep V in your heart✊
One of the best anti-government movies ever made. ❤
It's pro govt of the people which is the way it should be.
@bryanb3352 which is antigovernment... The way it is now...
@@dabreal82 no, it isn't. anti govt is also known as anarchy.
@@bryanb3352 if you are against the government the way it is... That is anti-government. Anarchy is a completely different thing...
@dabreal82 no that anti govt the way it is. Anti govt means against govt. It doesn't include qualifiers. Anti war doesn't mean against bad wars.
Great Reaction. Gladly subscribed. Looking forward to more reactions.
You started with some hard hitting choices with the two opening films you began your channel with. I take it, since you don't know who Hugo Weaving is, you haven't seen "The Matrix" or the Lord of the Rings trilogy yet. It's crazy you work in the film industry and yet are such a neophyte with seeing movies. Interesting combination, but I'm not complaining. The reason I watch UA-cam reactors is to be able to see the movies I love for the first time all over again through your eyes. I look forward to the journey.
It's amazing how these channels who have never seen these movies always start with the same movies!
@@voodoochile333 it's because they are very popular and will get views, fastest way to build a channel. Not that I'm complaining lol I want to see them
The thing I loved about this Film/Graphic Novel, was how it showed the methods used by people to shape and control a narrative to gain power over others. Fear is a primary motivator, and when you make people afraid they are very willing to hand over their own freedoms to cure that Fear. Vilifying an external enemy is another narrative used by these people; this movie used enemies that are commonly used such Immigrants, Homosexuals, persons of a number of religious groups, etc. You can literally watch this film and draw valid comparisons to actual events that have happened in the past and even in the present.
Excellent reaction, thank you for the content! Your vibe and intellect are impeccable, looking forward to future vids! Much luv from a new subscriber✌️💚
Natalie Portman, u all know... Hugo Weaving ('V') also played 'Agent Smith' in 'The Matrix' trilogy... and the Elf King 'Elrond' in 'Lord of the Rings'... John Hurt (Chancellor Adam Sutler) also played 'Kane' in the first 'Alien' movie and the wand-maker 'Ollivander' in the 'Harry Potter' movies... Comedian Stephen Fry played 'Gordon Dietrich', Evey's boss who gave her shelter (and likely aided 'V' in his plot)
V for Vendetta is my top favorite DC Vertigo movie and it makes me wish to see Spy Smasher, Sandman (Wesley Dodds) and Anarky be as cinematic as V himself. I am a hardcore DC comics fan mainly because DC is home for the Batman who my favorite hero of all is.
John Hurt, in my opinion, was very much at his best in his latter years. In this movie, he only really appears on the giant screen, but his presence is so powerful, tyrannical, and just a touch vulnerable (as all despots are). Also, his role in The Proposition is superb and intense.
I love this movie, Alan Moore's stuff can be so good
Excellent editing. You nailed all the important plot points 😊
Such enthusiasm for the movie😢😢😢
'When I think of DC, I think of Wolverine' that is not what you want to say. Wolverine being one of the most iconic characters of Marvel comics.
Uno dei miei film preferiti..One of my favorite movies...P.S. You are wonderful 🌹
I liked it! Great reaction 😊 That voice! The first time I saw it was like this actor is epic and we don't even see his face! I feel that he created a character that... was totally separate from any other role. Like I can't even picture the actor as V. The masked V has become indelible as a character... I don't actually want to know if he played the role physically inside the suit or if he was just the voice. Let's leave he character, nay the "idea" of V as forever masked...
A Clockwork Orange, directed by Stanley Kubrick 1971.
You said Mr Robot was your favorite tv series? Mine too! Love hearing people talk about it because it's a bit of a niche show.
Gosh. My first time watching you. When you first came on the screen I thought you were Lily Collins. That's a compliment.
I thought the same thing!
2 certified classics as your first 2 videos. And you seem to have the format down. Def going places 👍
I really enjoyed them! thanks so much!!
@@camillascorner Keep at it, and take care!
"Stars Hugo Weaving, don't think i've seen him in anything before" Famous last words x'd
Fun fact , I’ve been to Larkhill .. it’s just up the road from Stonehenge .
If you love Mr. Robot, you should react to Fight Club ❤
Back in the day, the "sisters" were brothers.
This movie does a less-than-stellar job of reflecting: the abject horror, amorality (as opposed to simple "immorality!") and personal agony reflected in Alan Moore's original series (or later graphic novel collected version).
The tactics and characters' practices and beliefs in the story are DIRECTLY derived from: soviet practices, developed within and specifically for: their gulag system (which most people are barely aware of or understand anything about.-certainly not firsthand and rarely, even: "third or fourth"-hand,). This system was used (and continues to be, currently, still) to torture and psychologically & emotionally disfigure, alter and torture: regular, average citizens and any person or family of: a nation or area occupied, but by having been made to suffer invasion, occupation, violation (already!), demarcated as: "less than human and worthy, solely, of utter contempt." (not what would in the rest-of-the-world called: "enemies" or "rivals"...this is because: ALL people could be demarcated/labelled: "enemies of the state" or "political rivals" or simply, "unfit" and subject to the agonies and violations of any-even the VAGUEST, LEAST- measure of reasonable consideration or treatment, which were set-up to be practiced by those who were found to already and then trained to further: enjoy and, in fact, revel, in: creating agony and terror.
Those, in fact: correctly and unavoidably deemed and understood to be: utterly inhuman and intolerable to be permitted to exist, ever, anywhere, whatsoever.)
The most vile system ever created.
It is true that writer: Alan Moore, when he wrote this story, was NOT referring to soviet society at all (while using the tenets and facts of its practices and assertions as "descriptive tools"🤬🤬), but rather: this series was his commentary on: how he felt England was threatened to become and/or being turned into and, to degrees, already was (in his eyes, and the eyes of many there ,as well): "a totalitarian state." ...An equivalent reflection of the system, described and illustrated here; under the "Thatcher gov't." of the 1980s and 1990s.
This was his intent and what he meant to warn against and describe.
...but (as delineated above!), he employed: already existing, practiced methods and designed organizations and practices to bring "weight" and accurate emotion..., to his story, characters and his complaints.
--The screenwriters & filmmaker, here, actually "whitewashed" (to some degree), as well as: exacerbated/exaggerated the violence and terror (turning much of the violence into: direct, revenge-oriented "fantasy glory" and playing on the simplest, weakest, easiest-to-play-on: "instincts"(🙄) and manipulable emotions of the majority of the, uneducated, uncaring-to-be, expected viewing public.
That said: the movie is still effective ....but: it isn't what it should be, at all.
The VAST majority of "people" (and I use that epithet loosely, here) who watch this and believe they understand ANYTHING about it or its intent (or claim that "it speaks to them"🙄🙄 or "is prophetic" 🙄🙄🤦🤦🤬‼🤬) ... are fu**ing, numbn*ts dumbn**s, shi**tains;completely unaware of what is being spoken to or of and who have pre-teen, bathroom-break "revolution" pseudo-emotions and minuscule-minded, utterly unprepared, primarily or totally uneducated and unaware mental insistences (like many 12 or 13 year-olds think that they can, "should," or do🤬🙄🙄).
They do not understand that: this story is about: yes: "human frailty" and refusal to acknowledge self-error and a lack of deservance of power (particularly: absolute power!) and ignorance (and the willing to indefensibly: expand and protect those!), but, also: on past events and occurrences and times.
They make idiotic assumptions such as: that this 'calls out' for "revolution." ...That (somehow) "all revolution is good" 🙄(or somesuch thing) and that any violence they imagine or allow is "defensible" 🙄🙄and "deserved" 🙄(because THEY feel that it "must be"/"should be"🤬) and "is excused because"🙄🙄🙄: these imagined "revolutions"
a) "always work"🙄 🤦
b) are "inevitable" 🤦🤦🤬🤬
c) "always need to happen" 🙄🤬
d( ..."if I FEEL 'deserving,' ...'warranted' ...that (automatically 🙄) 'makes me right!' "....🙄🤬
...all of which: are utter sh*t and are not supported or extolled by Moore's writing, whatsoever. 🤬
[This film, also, created the market for and increased (exponentially) the popularity of and knowledge about: Guy Fawkes (outside of England, directly) and the Guy Fawkes mask, directly. - That should, nearly, go without saying, I think, but.... 🤷]
@@SonicProfessor_a.k.a._T._Andra Thanks. That was actually pretty thoughtful
@ProtossWannabe1984 I am glad you found it to be.
Thank you.
Another movie set in a dystopian future... is Ultraviolet (2006). It also has a hero in a role... struggling against... you know.
Since the original graphic novel is the works of mad genius Alan Moore, I guess there is hardly anyone currently alive on Earth who "gets" the whole story. He sometimes converses with an ancient snake god, so we might have to wait for ascension to a higher level of consciousness to do that.
V is an idea.
Saludos desde la República Dominicana excelente vídeo 👏👍🇩🇴
The movie is crazy relevant to our times
Even after all these years, this movie still brings me to tears.
Great reaction! Keep em comin :)
Hugo Weaving is a LEGEND!!!
One of the last times I've seen this I saw it with Addie Recounts, wait, Addie Counter? Addie Reacts! That's it! Anyways, I swore I was going to remember remember the 5th of September, oops, November! Hmmmm, Remember.. September.. Sounds like a cool song lyric.
This movie always makes me wonder and ask questions over and over. One of these days I'll piece it together but likely not.
Im not going to search for comments, but I'm sure someone must have had an embolism when you equated DC with Wolverine. Made me lol. 😂
Yes, Larkhill existed to fine-tune the virus, but the female doctor who became the coroner didn't know. As per her diary, she thought she was working on immunity research or something similar. She had to die, though, because of her absolute culpability.
Pulp Fiction is a MUST watch.
Terrible overrated Tarantino movie.
@@voodoochile333 Two of my favorite Hendrix songs are Voodoo child and Highway chile, Pulp fiction is fairly rated, changed all the cinema that came after.
Hendrix is my favorite guitarist for the pionerism, Pulp Fiction is the same case.
The only part I like is the hamburger scene, everything else is so forgettable. I don't even know who Bruce Willis is in that movie. I can't think of a memorable line except Sam Jacksons bible verse and something about Amsterdam having the metric system. The non linear story is interesting. I think Reservoir Dogs is a better film in every single way. Better acting, better characters, much better plot, better pacing and much better filmmaking. All on a lower budget too.
@@voodoochile333 You should watch again, dialogue is sharp in all corners, trust me, it's a amazing movie and far from forgettable, maybe if you watch now as a different person you may have a different opinion.
@viniciusnascimento1993 maybe
This movie deals with what can be justified, and when and how it can be justified. V is definitely crossing a lot of moral and legal lines, that we usually hold firmly to. He's a terrorist, revolutionary, murderer, abductor, and torturer. He's fighting an extremely oppressive government, and trying to engage a population that's either terrified or apathetic, his enemies are clearly evil, he's clearly justified in feeling extreme anger, and, in the end, both Evie and society benefits from his extreme actions. So, is he justified? If he went too far (clearly he did, imo), then by how much? What would've been justified?
It's also a kinky love story (masks, abduction, torture, and death qualifies as _very_ kinky, imo), but I'll leave that alone.
The writers of this movie also wrote The Matrix movies
For a good TV series of similarity, react to Person of Interest.
I enjoyed your reaction to a great film, subscribed!
happy to have you here!
Great reaction! Please react to, The Accountant with Ben Affleck and Anna Kendrick, and Wind River with Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olson, and Eagle Eye with Shia Labeouf, Michelle Monahan, Billy Bob Thornton and Rosario Dawson!
Hugo was in LOTR and the Matrix, you'd probably know him if you saw him. Great revolutionary flick.
That scene with all 3 V's in a room.
