9 Quotes From 'V for Vendetta' That Prove How Amazing It Is

Have you ever seen the movie "V for Vendetta"?

If you answer is 'yes,' then you understand how truly amazing the movie is. If your answer is 'no,' then free up some time because you have a movie to watch!

"V for Vendetta" is a dystopian film based on the Alan Moore and David Lloyd produced "V for Vendetta" comic. The 2006 film was directed by James McTeigue and the screenplay was written by the Wachowski Brothers. The film is set in the late 2020s where a neo-fascist government has taken over the United Kingdom. The main characters are V, an anarchist, and Evey, a woman who is rescued by V on the night of his revolution.

Here are 9 quotes from the movie that prove how amazing the film is:

1. "The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous."



2. "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."


3. "People should not be afraid of their government, government should be afraid of their people."



4. "There are no coincidences, only the illusion of coincidences."


5. “The past can't hurt you anymore. Not unless you let it. They made you into a victim, Evey. They made you into a statistic. But, that's not the real you. That's not who you are inside.”



6. "That's it! See, at first I thought it was hate, too. Hate was all I knew, it built my world, it imprisoned me, taught me how to eat, how to drink, how to breathe. I thought I'd die with all my hate in my veins. But then something happened. It happened to me... just as it happened to you."



7. "A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having."


8. "Beneath this mask there is more than flesh Mr Creedy. Beneath this mask there is an idea. And ideas are bulletproof."

9. "We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world."

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
