V: Good evening, London. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of the everyday routine, the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration - whereby those important events of the past, usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, are celebrated with a nice holiday - I thought we could mark this November the fifth, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat.
There are, of course, those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now orders are being shouted into telephones and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there?
Cruelty and injustice...intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance, coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those who are more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable. But again, truth be told...if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War. Terror. Disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you and in your panic, you turned to the now High Chancellor Adam Sutler. He promised you order. He promised you peace. And all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent.
Last night, I sought to end that silence. Last night, I destroyed the Old Bailey to remind this country of what it has forgotten. More than four hundred years ago, a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice and freedom are more than words - they are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you, then I would suggest that you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek...then I ask you to stand beside me, one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament. And together, we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever, be forgot!

(V怪客)心得....
treason and plot I know of no reason, why the gunpowder
treason Should ever be forgot.
(記住，記住，十一月五號，叛國、陰謀、與火藥，我從來都不明暸，為什麼陰謀會被人忘掉。)
要說到V之前有個人物是得說一下，而為什麼要先提一下呢?因為或許有人會以為他是個萬惡不赦的大壞蛋，然而他其實……。蓋福克斯他是位在15 世紀末至16世紀初教導人民正確的思考方向，主張人民應該站起來為自己做主，位居上位者的應該以人民的意向做為政策的依歸。而到處奔波演講告知民眾民主自由的觀念。然而在那時期這個觀念實在太過新穎，常遭到民眾拒於門外。由於又受到皇室通緝以及宗教壓力下，於
回歸到V for Vendetta的影片中，藉由V我看到了現代版的蓋福克斯，為了民主自由、為了破除極權政府、為了讓受打壓的人民清醒，為了讓人民知道：「人民不應該害怕政府，政府才該畏懼人民」由開頭的1812序曲開起了一連串革命、革新。
就以我的觀點來看，我覺得V 不是個變態，也不是一個殺人不眨眼的怪物更不是恐怖份子，而是個真心的正義使者！就現況來講好了，假使政府行為已經讓人無法再忍受了，那真的會有人跳出來做革命先烈嗎？真的會有人跳出來成為某種角度的恐怖份子嗎？我覺得應該是不太可能，要不就是只是想佔版面耍嘴皮子罷了，然後就繼續放肆政府虎假虎威了。片中有句話說：「人們要的不會是一個建築物，而是希望。」
對！我們要的不會是一個名為總統府的建築物名稱，我們期盼是如何帶給我們民主自由、經濟穩定、社會安定的環境。至少V敢做為先驅者，敢為理念奮鬥。「一個人的恐怖份子，可能是另外一個人的自由鬥士。」因此帶動起整個人民士氣，讓原本一直處於壓抑的民眾敢在宣佈後的隔年
記得女主角在獄裡看到那小紙條上有說：「我即將死去，身體會腐爛，但我的心靈除外，我的精神不死，雖然我的心靈脆弱無助，卻是這世上唯一值得珍惜的東西，決不輕言放棄，決不讓他們奪走。」雖然V最後仍然死去，但相信經過數年仍然會有人會記得，記得那位從極權政府手中拿回人民該有的民主與自由。Remember, remember, the 5th of November.............
