5/10/2023 0 Comments V for vendetta opening monologueIn return for Evey's trust in him with her very safety, Deitrich reveals to her an inner sanctum in his home housing a collection of materials outlawed by the government such as subversive paintings, the Quran, and to her surprise - homoerotic photos by Robert Mapplethorpe. Upon learning that V is killing government officials, she escapes to the home of her boss, comedian Gordon Deitrich ( Stephen Fry). V brings Evey to his lair, where she is told that she must stay in hiding until the 5th of November in the following year for her own safety. Evey helps V to escape, but is knocked out in the process. He urges the people of Britain to rise up against the oppressive government and meet him in one year, on 5 November, outside the Houses of Parliament, which he promises to destroy. Norsefire tries to explain away the incident as a controlled demolition, claiming the building was no longer structurally sound, but V takes over the state television broadcast the same day, exposing the lie. He leads her to a rooftop to watch his destruction of the Old Bailey. Evey Hammond, a young woman who works at the state-run British Television Network, is rescued from an attempted rape perpetrated by members of the secret police (referred to as "Fingermen" by Evey) by a Guy Fawkes-masked vigilante known as " V". The party sets up concentration camps where political prisoners, homosexuals, and other unwanted populace in general are exterminated by Britain's new fascist regime. The United Kingdom is ruled by a totalitarian government under the fascist Norsefire party. The world is plagued by environmental blight.
