V For Vendetta Themes

The United States have always been viewed as a democracy. It has been portrayed as the land of the free for many years. Out of all of these years the States have not been free. It is all a façade and a very good one at that. There are many norms and values that have been placed upon society and have been accepted in the eyes of the public. “V for Vendetta” is a film that is based off of the graphic novel that was written by Alan Moore. Though the novel V for Vendetta was written in the 1980’s the drama film was released in 2006 and it definitely made a political statement. The film surfaced political and social norms, religious beliefs, and a sense of morality through the significance of the themes and the meanings behind them.
