A place can have so much character to not only make a person fall in love at first sight‚ but to keep that person entranced by love for the place.

Similarly‚ McTeigue demonstrates how the corruptive nature of men‚ amplified by power causes destructive historical cycles through his allegorical film V for Vendetta. Like the Handmaid’s Tale‚ V for Vendetta sets in a fascist police state run by the Norsefire party‚ an allusion to the Nazi party of WWI. Here‚ control is extremely practiced as their government “uses lies to hide the truth‚” euphemising its objectives and hyperbolising on “war‚ terror‚ disease… conspired to rob common sense” and “coercive
