Reaction Paper to the Movie V for Vendetta

The movie we recently watched, “V for Vendetta” is one that interested me much.

There were also values being used in the movie like compassion, discipline, camaraderie, and love of country. These values were used to make a certain idea powerful.

I think that leaders must inspire the people to do
