V for Vendetta

2040년 미래의 영국을 배경으로, 제 3차 대전이 일어난 후 세계는 완벽하게 감시되고 통제된다. 이때 나타난 미스테리의 인물 V로 인해 세상은 또다른 혁명을 꿈꾸는데...나탈리 포트만, 휴고 위빙 주연으로 최근 영화화된 작품.

Imagine a Britain stripped of democracy: a world of the not-too-distant future, in which freedom was not lost, but surrendered willingly to a totalitarian regime that rose to power by exploiting the people's worst fears and most damning weaknesses.

This is the setting for the parable of Evey, a young woman who is saved from death by a masked man calling himself only V. Beguiling and dangerous, V ignites the fuse of revolution when he urges his fellow citizens to wake up and shed the blanket of tyranny and oppression in which they have permitted themselves to be cloaked.

While those in power take steps to neutralize the threat, the police pursue the mystery of V, unaware of the terrible truth that awaits them at the end of the trail. It is Evey, however, who, with V as her enigmatic guide, sets out on the most painful path of all: a journey of deception and self-discovery, deconstruction and re-creation, vindication and vengeance.
