"V" for Vendetta

Due to my travel schedule for work and a busy social calendar when home, I have not had a chance to publish anything. However, I saw the most extraordinary well written movie adaptation of a graphic novel recently that I wanted to share. If you like political satire, emotionally touching action heroes who have a love of art, music and quote classical literature while kicking major butt!!!!!..........go see “V for Vendetta”. I will not ruin the story, plot or outcome but I am including the main characters opening introductory monologue. As an amateur actor, I can only imagine how long it took to get this one small paragraph committed to memory. Go see this movie!!!

“This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.”

I just love that!
