    Movie and the graphic novel are drastically different in many ways. V is definitely an anarchist in the comic; not quite the same vibe in the movie.

    He’s representative of a revolutionary, an anti-establishment force, in the movie with no discernable political philosophy other than antifascist in a very English way.

    Alan Moore, the original author, was quite critical of the film itself. I like the film a lot, but I totally understand that it’s a farcry from Alan’s vision in the graphic novel.
