Introduction:
V for Vendetta is a near future based film which carries a series of messages and beliefs throughout showing Britain to be a dystopian based city. It is built up of a fascist government, terrorism and revenge. V for Vendetta gets across its messages and beliefs by exploring fascism, religion, role of rebellion, terrorism and gender traits. The messages the film give across are that one mans terrorism is another mans freedom - they are constantly fighting for freedom, freedom is their hope; and to never trust the government.

Theme 1: Revolution
Scene: V's Speech 
MICRO: The film shows V wanting everyone to rebel against the government due to his previous experience whilst being within their care; they treated him badly and tested on him therefore he is fighting for his own freedom and revenge and to prove a point and a message to the government. The public believe V is doing it all for their own freedom and for their own benefits but in reality he is only thinking of himself. V is the leader and the reason behind the divide between him and the government; everything is seen to revolve around V - he is always center. Near Future = Warning sign, 
Blocking: Whenever, V is shown on TV he is always in the centre, everything is turned to face V he is the leader.
Light within this scene represents hope and whenever the public are associated with V he is always in daylight therefore it gives the public hope and something to look towards.
Messages: It encourages people to stand up for their own freedom and what they believe in and to not allow the government to take full control.

Theme 2: Gender
Scene: Evey's torture & awakening
MICRO: Gender traits are shown to change throughout the film. V portrays very feminine characteristics throughout e.g mask that is shown to have make up on, long hair, gender less body shape due to the inability to see him. However, Evey's gender traits are shown to change throughout she started of very feminine dressing up and vulnerable until the end where she converts into a more masculine character with the shaved head, no longer vulnerable she is fearless.
Message: It shows that the characters that you may come across at the beginning of the film may not persist to be the character that you first thought they were. Not everyone is who they say they are. Everyone has fear and different aspects of gender.

Theme 3: Religion
Scene: The Bishop & Evey
MICRO: The government distorts religion for control, they corrupt religious figures, the bishop is a pedophile but is covered up by the government, the government discriminates homosexuals, disabled people, lesbians ect but they hide the bishop. 

Theme 4: Fascism
Scene: Larkill & Valerie's letter
MICRO: Fascism is a form of government where the the people are led by a dictator or small group of people - this is shown when the disctatorship (the government) take away Valerie and her girlfriend to the cell for torture because they are lesbians.

- red roses symbolises happiness and life 

Theme 5: Terrorism
Scene: Ending & Evey's role
MICRO: V's mask represents Guy Fawkes in this scene it shows the community coming together dressed as V all wearing the same Guy Fawkes mask. V associates the mask with Guy Fawkes being a freedom fighter; the community are wearing them to protect V, hide his identity and show that they see him as a freedom fighter.
Evey blows up parliament with V inside the train - freedom and justice.
Evey is no longer weak.
The public are there to make a stand and protect V.
Music gets more intense as the blowing up comes around and when the fireworks begin.
The public in the V/Guy Fawkes outfits march in a group, represents that they are all as one and all stick together - they're all in sync.
Message: Terrorism and violence makes you a freedom fighter. The cause of the terrorism is for freedom.

Conclusion:
Overall the film uses the themes of revolution, gender, religion, fascism and terrorism to express the values of a revolution and a message that calls the community to come together to stand up to their government. Although V is a terrorist, he is shown to be a freedom fighter that in the end everyone believes in; we know this by the ray of 'V's' that appear on the night of the houses of parliament being blown up - they are confiding and hiding V's true identity. One mans terrorism is another mans freedom; freedom is worth more than life to some people - they will even be willing to put their lives on the line for freedom (so they thought V done). V for Vendetta explores the fears and theories of 9/11, showing governments to use acts of terrorism to restrict civil rights and protests. It is a near future based film, it is a warning sign.
