I've only got the book today, I'm at page 69 (no jokes please) and the film is almost nothing like the book. Such as,
*Spoiler*
V doesn't blow up the Houses of Parliament a year after the Old Bailey, he blows them up first, and then later blows up the Old Bailey. And this before he even kills that Reverend. The fact that Evey is not arrested for breaking curfue, but for trying to solicit the fingermen. The murder on the train? Or the fact that Evey is suppose to be 15 or 16, not in her twenties... Its more that they cut out vast qualities and changed the orders of events, rather than changed things, but they made V seem much more sane in the film than he is the book.

I liked it, despite its frequent moments of stupidity. Like has been said, the general tone of the film was really watered down (thats a facist England?!), but I still thought the messages (controlling people through fear, creating a war- which is also what happened in Star Wars) got through and of course are important and relevant.
How did she go undetected for a whole year?
How did she not recognise V's voice when she was imprisoned?
etc. but those things really didn't get in the way too much.

He's actually been at large for quite a few years before he begins his campaign. It is never discussed, but the assumption is that during this time and using his superior intellect and skills he has been able to collect the things he needs not only to complete his very detailed plan, but also pander to his personal fetishes. The book does give a better sense of time, but I thought the movie also indicated that this was the case. I may, however, have been biased from this preconceived idea.

Adequate! I felt she excelled during the more intense scenes, particularly during her "incarceration". But I did find her a little flat in some of the other scenes. I think this would have been negated had they gone with the backgrond from the book, but overall I liked her perfomance and thought she did a vry good job.
It's easy to make this call after seeing the PT. Her acting is so bad in these that anything else she does looks great.

At least she gave it a shot though, unlike some people.

i wanted to see his horrible disfigured face
and still love him because he's V

The question: wasn't this just outright suicide? Deitrich couldn't have seriously believed he would and could get away with that, not in a world where he had to hide his own homosexuality for fear of being imprisoned or murdered, just because he was a celebrity. Was he simply delusional, or was he full out expecting to be killed and hoping to be martyred (spelling) for what he did?
Of course, V says Deitrich was shot after they found the Quran in his home, but I'm pretty sure that if they found his copy of the Quran, then they probably found the other stuff he had.
What do you all think of this?
