We watched a movie in class called V for Vendetta which was about a freedom fighter know as V, who uses terrorist tactics to fight society. He rescues a woman named Evey from the police when she was out after curfue who became her friend/ally. The movie was made in Great Britain Where Parliment was burnt down by V to send a message about Personal Freedom vs. Government Control and many other things. V was a prisoner in Lark Hill Institution where he was tortured. He escaped and set out as a hero to many and a terrorist to others. He wore a mask and clothes that covered his entire body to hide his identity.
Back in the day, the government ran everything and not many of the people had freedom. Lots of people such as V were thrown in cells in institutions and tortuered. After V escaped, he wanted to send a message about the freedom of people and that it shouldn't be all up to the government to make desicions. Also, people had curfues in Britain, if the were out past curfue, like Evey was, they would be punished. Today, we have all of that freedom, we can stay outside for however long we want and no one can do anything about it.
Overall it's a lot different now than it was back then. In this movie, V needed to get the message through the governments' head however he could, and if that meant killing people, so be it. He fought for the freedom and ended up dying for it. He was a hero.
