    people are murdered for their beliefs, their opinion, homosexuality, atheism, and their race. One man, V, decides to fight back, reveal the truth, and protect the people. He recruits the help of Evey (played by Natalie Portman). This film is extremely creative in its technical aspects, even down to its name. Vendetta means seeking vengeance for a murdered family. V, the main character, is seeking vengeance for all people who were unjustly murdered (which means he views them as his family). He is portrayed as an extremely educated man—speaks posh-like, uses large and hard to comprehend words, and he often time speaks in riddles.

Another thing that makes this film unique was the dedication of the actors.

The director also tried to make the viewer relate with V by showing parts of the movie through his eyes. Natalie Portman (Evey) took that dedication to the next level when she was willing to shave off all of her hair for the sake of properly representing her character’s role. James McTeigue’s unique approach with V for…
