Film Review: V for Vendetta “People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.” Based on the comics of the same name‚ V for Vendetta is a mind-opening feature film from 2005 that alters our perception towards how much freedom we‚ as citizens‚ really hold.
