  The Incomparable Mothership February 4, 2017 “V for Vendetta”

  338 All About Evey

  Jason Snell with Brianna Wu, Guy English, Brian Hamilton, Philip Mozolak and Chip Sudderth

  Remember, remember, the fifth of November… We discuss the 2005 film “V for Vendetta” and the Alan Moore and David Lloyd comic series that inspired it. Who, if anyone, is the hero of the film? How did the Wachowskis adapt the 1980s comic’s sensibilities to the 2000s? What’s with the film’s strange structure and surreal visual choices? And, most importantly, is V a man, an idea, or both?
