how does v for vendetta get across its message and beliefs through its themes?

v for vendetta is a dystopian styled theme that presents the idea of a fascist government is in power and is dictated by sutler. This is conflicted by a terrorists identified as 'v' who seeks vengeance in this superhero style character, but is he a hero or a villain? The 5 key themes in this film are symbolised to construct a warning to society to act fast on political power before the government begin to enforce a totalitarian country. these 5 themes consist of Anarchy, religion, revolution, terrorism and totaltarianism. Each of these themes present a different message.

Anarchy is presented in the film and is encouraged by the main character 'v'. The use of anarchy is brought to our attention in the scene of v's speech, And the idea that v can dictate and enforce anarchy through power of his voice, choice of words and identity. he uses anarchy in an  organised way and introduces it as the solution to conquer the fascist government. The message of this theme is to become an active member of society and to take action by voting before the government ruin the country. The fact that this film is presented in the not too distant future creates a sense of sci fi, but also realism at the same time

Totalitarianism is another key theme of the film, and it means the government are to control the society and peoples lives both publicly and privately. This can be dictated to by one person, in this case being sutler as the dictator. Totalitarianism is presented when sutler is presenting his speech to the other government mp's and his dictatorship towards them aswell as the opression he is enforcing on society. The purpose of the clip is again to warn he audience of the film that a totalatarian government is a poor option to be in power, and that this generates opression on society. This particular message could also be labelled as false advertising or propaganda in a sense that people are being made to believe that totalitarianism could potentially happen, when already there is signs of it in power NOW.

Vengeance is potentially the most important theme of the film, as it is one of the main questions to wether v is fighting for freedom or revenge. In the opening scenes of the film, v was tested on in the concentration camps, and is now a mutant force of nature seeking revenge from the government. This is presented when v blows up the old bailey, and also at the end when he blows up parliament. The old bailey is symbolised as justice in the sense that it is a court house, but the fact that v blows it up, shows the audience that it is not justice the seeks, but it is revenge. The fact that v does this through terrorism and extremism says to me that v may not being a noble freedom fighter, but a terrorist making him a criminal, and the message of this is that terrorism in modern day society needs to looked at as a freedom fighter aswell as a terrorist

To conclude, the film v for vendetta holds many key themes which represent a warning or a a sense that we must act fast. The fact that it is set not too far in the future gives it a sense of realism and sci fi which is not usually found in your everyday Hollywood films. And the question still looms wether v is a terrorist or a freedom fighter. or some may believe he covers up the fact that he seeks personal vengeance by promoting a collective group following the idea of anrachy to cover up his terrorism. This links back to the question in hand that the messages are sent across to the public through themes and there are presented through the characters actions and behaviour, which can either be verbal or extreme violence.
