The Synopsis - 'Remember, remember, the fifth of November, the gunpowder treason and plot. I see no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot' Graphic novel author Alan Moore may have hated it (as he does with all adaptations of his work, seemingly), but moviegoers were quite taken with the film adaptation of V For Vendetta, which depicts the enigmatic V (Hugo Weaving) in his fight against the fascist Norsefire government of future Britain, developing a bond with Evey Hammond (Natalie Portman) in the process as he is doggedly pursued by the likes of Inspector Eric Finch (Stephen Rea). The Destruction - Though iconic to viewers, the structures of London are fair game for V in his vengeful crusade, as he begins by demolishing the Old Bailey to the sound of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, declaring his intention to later blow up the Houses Of Parliament as an ultimate act of defiance, which he encourages others to join. He follows through on his promise during the film's climax, as a bomb-laden Tube train is used to blow up London's most prominent landmark as its citizens look on.
