@citisolo1 I understand because she thought that she was in trouble with the authorities and would die there. However, when she found out that her friend did that to her all along I think it shocked the day lights out of her along with feeling betrayed.
alan moore is amazing. I know he hates this, as he hates the other interpretations of his work. However, I'm glad they made this. (1) because I actually love the movie - it works even though Alan Moore disagrees; and (2) because it introduced me to Alan Moore's work - which is fantastic.
If you like / love this movie or even if it just interests you then read Alan Moore's graphic novel and let your world change!!! AWESOME!!!!!
Wow. I don't blame Natalie Portman's character for being angry. If I had regarded someone as a friend and trusted them the way she did V and they tortured me, I would be insanely angry. Even if it was for a supposedly "good" purpose. I don't think I could ever bring myself to forgive them, much less be so careless and sinister like V, and torture a friend in order to "help them" as he so explains.
Anyway, aside from that, this is a great movie. I will have to buy it someday.
In Jungian terms this is where the completion of the 'individuation process' has taken place. Evey has become 'whole'! After experiencing darkness she comes into the light. The union of opposites, the 'anima' and the 'animus' (the male and female) have joined together. Note: V emerges from the flame, Evey the water (rain)The union of opposite is complete. The fear has been vanquished and love has become the victor.
I was actually lucky enough to speak to the great man Alan Moore once. He said that one of main points in the story was the perception of V, that he wanted create ambiguity within the reader, that he wanted V to be loathed and loved in equal measures. The film for me never tried to achieve this and i feel in this respect it is lacking.
I would love to meet Alan Moore , I have seen an interview with him and also read one (although it was about watchmen)
and i have also read the comic and agree with you , in many respects the film was lacking the original consept of v and how i was to be taken in the mind of the viewer but i am glad thaey made the film because that was the reason i bought the comic and trully began to apriciate the story and it's deeper meaning.
Does anyone else find it funny how she says "you cut my hair?!" as her first complaint AND THEN "you tortured me?!"? I just kind of find that funny...
@securuslol haha actually I am a woman and I do understand that getting hair cut would be drastic, but I think my order would go 1) torture, 2) hair cut, and 3) being starved....but it always makes me chuckle a bit that scene
@truth489 Well, actually I think it may have to do with chronological order. As in, first, you cut my hair, then you tortured me. And then she says tortured twice to emphasize : )
@truth489 just another little thing added in by the directors to show how screwed up the society is at the moment. looks are more important than the true issues now a days.
@PureRockenEuzo Yes, V is much more sinister in the graphic novel as he is an anarchist instead of a freedom fighter. It's up to the reader to decide if he is the hero or the villain.
its more realistic when he only blows up two buildings. and theatrics and music are used to make scenes and points more effective. the novel was way to complex to be fully enjoyed.
This is real strong, the script as much as the filmatics as much as the score as much as the amazing acting by Natalie Portman. Somehow it makes me feel uneasy to see how my emotions are triggered by the combined efforts of all these people who are so good at what they do.
Wonderful. I own the dvd and blue ray and I'm glad to have read some wonderful comments here. Makes me almost cry each time I see this - such a powerful scene!
this country needs V. We need somebody whos not afraid to break the rules,somebody who will take over the system and show us that we are truely free.We don't need Goverments or rules and bars and walls!
in order to break the system and attempt to take over(challenge) the system, you have to be so deep in the system that you live and breath the way they do, not just watching clips but actually doing what they want to the point where you know what they are going to do next
i love this scene for many reasons. he uses a aggressive flooding technique psychologically overwhelming her fear and destroying it, fucking brilliant.
P.S. For the obtuse..."V" is Satan, reborn in and disfigured by fire, who sets out to undo the tyranny state run by the "lord and master" who rules only by fear of death. Satan/"V" sets out to help humankind discover that freedom is innate and can only be lost if it is wilfully surrendered as a resort of fear and intimidation. Eve(y) is the face put on humanity in this morality tale.
Ophis, the wise serpent, teaches Eve(y) a lesson. She owns herself. We control our would-be captor and executioner. "He" only has power over us only if we first grant that power. Hence the terrorism. Hence the cajoling. Being threatened with death in the garden of Eden no longer frightens Eve(y). She walk out the lair and into the rain and thus is born again!
This has to be one of the most powerful scenes in cinematic history. The emotion it evokes is moving. Dario Marianelli's "Every Reborn" is a masterpiece - my heart soars & my throat catches when I watch this scene with Evey standing out in the rain, arms outstretched in release and exultation.
okay..by that principle i can also say jesus is in the rain, and shiva is in the rain... what the movie is trying to say perhaps is that its not religion specific....its just god.
I remember the first time I saw this scene and I thought she was really captured by "the man" When he asked her "are you ready to cooperate?" I said aloud with her, tears in my eyes "No."
The most powerful scene i've seen. Moved me to tears. Somehow in real life, there comes a time when everyone and each of us must confront our inner fears and personal demons, and vanquish them!, specially if we had strong traumatic experiencies, the tragic loss of loved ones, the violence around us, lack of faith in ourselves, in life or a Superior Power. GOD IS IN THE RAIN. Whoa! Powerful Truth! We had to be aware to catch the opportunity when it comes to us.
Where's the rest of the part? Damn, chilling music, but most impressive nevertheless. I understand the transformation. From a past life to a future life. AND...its Natale Portman!!!!!!!!! *Drools* ^_^
.... you would be grateful... if someone tortured and lied to you. Honestly, you may be saying ud be grateful now, but if it really happened to you, would you really be THAT grateful?
No, but I'm saying if it were the bad guys, the Police that captured her, the torture would've been much worse. V actually saved her life. I would appreciate that. She really is only angry for five minutes.
then u've got no fear anymore, you r completly free... still give me goosepumps
