Remembering the 5th with a little V...

Whether you're wearing your Guy Fawkes' inspired mask, reading, or watching a copy of V for Vendetta, today is indeed the 5th of November. With that in mind, it's time to reminisce about this stellar dystopian future tale that was originally released as a comic book series/ graphic novel by Alan Moore and David Lloyd. To commemorate the occasion, here's a You Tube video I found that compiles a collection of clips and scenes from the film adaptation directed by the Wachowski Bros., which featured Hugo Weaving as the elusive freedom fighter vigilante V and Natalie Portman as Evey, released 5 years ago and remains one of the more obscure yet classic movies to this day.

In this tribute video, V goes on to say those epic lines that  many have recited to remember this day, with the BGM "Evey Reborn" playing in the background...



Remember, Remember the 5th of November

"Remember, Remember the 5th of November The Gun powder, Teason and Plot I know of no reason why the gun powder treason should ever be forgot." - V from V for Vendetta

Remember, Remember, The 5th Of November...

On this glorious rainy day, I was reminded by a friend of mine how memorable this day was to those standing in the popculture shadow. It's not everyday you remember a certain graphic novel work by writing extraordinaire Alan Moore and artist David Lloyd, and on this Thursday, we begin to commemorate all the voices and people involved in this epic story that showed us the true cost of attaining victory!

Ah yes... Today is the 5th, so I'll probably indulge in some V later if time permits me to do so. The film version, while not having Moore's involvement, was quite receptive to the public upon its release in 2005, and it had quintessential talents like Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman involved. Do yourselves a favor by celebrating the 5th by reading the book or watching the film, and always remember... FREEDOM FOREVER!XD
