After reading the script, Moore remarked that his comic had been "turned into a Bush-era parable by people too timid to set a political satire in their own country.... [This film] is a thwarted and frustrated and largely impotent American liberal fantasy of someone with American liberal values standing up against a state run by neoconservatives — which is not what [the comic] 'V for Vendetta' was about. It was about fascism, it was about anarchy, it was about [England]." He later adds that if the Wachowskis had wanted to protest what was going on in America, then they should have used a political narrative that spoke directly at America's issues, similar to what Moore had done before with Britain.[10] The film changes the original message by arguably having changed "V" into a freedom fighter instead of an anarchist. An interview with producer Joel Silver[11] suggests that the change may not have been conscious; he identifies the V of the graphic novel as a clear-cut "superhero...a masked avenger who pretty much saves the world,"
Also I find it interesting that they chose 'V'...ie first thing that came to my mind was the series 'V'.... about reptilians trying to take over the world?
Also... some rumours going around that the Wachowski Brothers are freemasons...i haven't been able to clarify this to be true or not.....interesting none the less
V is meant to be everyone, and he is willing to do what everyone should be willing to do in his/our situation.
I hope they don't make a second of this movie like they did with the Matrix. It was a great movie! A little less "cool" then the Matrix but the feeling at the end was almost just as good.
