V for Vendetta is out (Page 2 of 3)

How about, it ONLY focused on that....haha.....because I figured the other overt themes were obvious, and there wasn't a need to 'explain' the movie to people or anything, or try to dissect it.  NR'ers would get it.  Again, I only focused on the symbolisms because I figured that wouldn't be mentioned.  Figured that would something original to add to the pile.     "Hey!!  He threw his mask at the mirror!!  It's sorta like 'Labyrinth' !  Hey!   Dominos!  Wow!!" 

I don't know......unless one of the goals was to act as a trigger for people who may already have programming instilled within them...?    Again, doesn't mean there weren't other layers, meanings, or purposes behind it.  But acting as a trigger could certainly be one thing that was "slipped in."  The major themes you mentioned were front and center....while the trigger symbolisms fill in the cracks, in "the background" you could say.  Same with the Matrix movies.  Lots of overt, meaningful themes and layers, tons of symbolisms filling in the cracks.

Yeah...what's THAT all about??  I did the same thing afterwards.  Total silence for a very long stretch!  I just sat there when it was over, then we left, and drove home, and I still didn't want to talk about it.  Not until we got all the way home did I feel I could even talk about it.  !   Neat...but weird! 

Well, I ordered the graphic novel from online, so, that should be arriving before the end of the week.  Yay!  Can't wait! 

ps edit.......forgot....you mentioned The Machinist....yeah, I did finally see that one.  ugh.  NASTY.   Hard movie to sit through, I couldn't do it in one sitting.  Kept stopping it to just, go off and do other things.  "Okay, um, guess I'll stop it here and um, go check my email or something...um..."  "Uh, I think I'll stop here for now and go do...something other than this movie...."    And I never do that!  I always watch movies straight through.  It was just too nasty looking at how Christian Bale looked in that movie.  Just couldn't watch it straight through.

Bravo people, way to go... that's how you get sucked into supporting the dark side!  Pay to watch a piece of occultic trash.  Hmmm doesn't sound too positive to me!

- Seconds after the credits begin rolling, there is an red-on-black image of the side of a man’s face, with what distinctly appears like vertical slits or pupils in the eye.  Look closely the next time you watch it.  It is in the “right half of the V" , so when the V is just a /.  Seconds later, on the counterpart left half of the “V"   (or \ ), there appears a woman/Evey figure’s half-face.

- Masonic colours if you will are red, blue and white.  I do not know the exactly the significance of all the black and red, but perhaps a more studied person can enlighten.  I do know that these colors are for whatever reason important to illuminati / secret societies, and these colors were also important to the Gnostics.  What is important to note, is that not one person or faction in the movie is associated with these colors… it runs throughout.  Of course the ‘big brother’ symbols, AND V himself (& his work), but also the inspector…. Look closely at the background in his office as he begins to “enlighten"  to the situation.

- There is definitely a significance of the rose(s), probably relating to the rosicrucians.  I cannot help but see clearly that the roses are tied to both death, and life.  The actress said “at least I had 3 years of roses" , remember.  And 3=completion.

- Perhaps a key (blatant?) clue in the philosophies being extolled is the last line in the Count of Monte Cristo, showed twice:  “Can we come up?"   “No, find your own tree." …. ponder this.  Kid: “Neo, you saved me!"   Neo: “You saved yourself."   ……… Insider: “There will be a time when everyone will be released but that is not a mass event, but rather 1 by 1....work on yourself."

There is so much going on here.  Maybe someday it will be clear.  Maybe we all will follow the footsteps of the inspector, return to the scene of the crime, and have an epiphany.  Maybe ours won’t be so fleeting.

A few observations regarding the symbolism in the movie:

The symbol of the British Totalitarian Government is the Cross of Lorraine.  Notice that the color red is predominant. 

See this newspaper clipping from 1787, and listen to the first radio clip here.  Notice that in the clipping, Britain is depicted as being "attended by an evil genius" who is holding a book, which represents the covert banking and legal methods used by the Crown to win back control of America.   In other words, even at the time of the founding of this country, it was known how Britain would attempt its revenge. 

V carves the letter V, within a circle, into the government propaganda posters on the street -- just as was done by the human resistance in V: The Original Miniseries.

In the one movie, V is fighting the totalitarian British Empire, and in the other, the humans are fighting the reptilian alien stormtroopers who have taken over the Earth.    The point here is that both are metaphors for the SAME THING:  in reality, ALL freedom-loving people are being slowly but surely subjugated by this New World Order dictatorship.  It hides behind many names, and many ostensibly unrelated organizations, but it's all the same thing.  Next:

If only more people understood this ... sigh.   Even in the darkest of times, we must maintain our senses of humor.    It is the one thing that most truly defines what is good and postive in humans.  If you don't have a sense of humor, you don't have anything.

When Evie goes to stay at Gordon's house, the first morning that she wakes up there Gordon fixes for her the same kind of eggs that V fixed for her on her first night at his place.  Why?

Because as Gordon says, he  IS V:  for V is an idea, not a person -- V is the SPIRIT.  And that idea -- that Spirit -- cannot be killed.  That's why V is able to stand alone and vanquish so many of his enemies without suffering any harm to himself, even after being shot dozens of times at point blank range. 

LIKEWISE:  Two times in her life, Evie finds herself in a home being raided by police, and BOTH times she is told to HIDE .. and she does, under the bed ... BOTH times.  Why does this same scenario occur twice?  Because again, it's making the point that these characters REPRESENT something.  In the first case, Evie's parents, and in the second, Gordon -- both symbolize the SPIRIT that exists within each of us.  They are the people who are TRUE TO THE SPIRIT -- the ones with love in their hearts for their fellow creatures ... as opposed to the ones who seek only to dominate others.

When the guard tells Evie it is time for her execution, she STILL refuses to give any information about the whereabouts of V.  The guard then acknowledges that she is now free of all fear, and she finds that she is able to walk, unobstructed, out the door of her cell and past another guard in the hall, who stands there as nothing but an inanimate doll.  She is free.    This is illustrative of the same spiritual principle as when Neo, in The Matrix, eventually finds himself able to fight off dozens of Agents at once, and effortlessly knock down their bullets with his hands.

What is it that is being talked about here?   V is not a man, V is the SPIRIT -- the "last inch" -- that spark of love and truth within each of us which is SO easy to give up, but which is our only hope for salvation:

The bottom line -- the message to be gleaned from all of this -- is that you either stand up for human freedom -- the SPIRITUAL SOVEREIGNTY of EACH AND EVERY HUMAN CREATURE -- and the protection of the individual rights of all people which necessarily follows such recognition -- or you don't.   THAT is the only battle which exists now or has EVER existed for human beings on this planet, period.

Reminds me of this from The Manchurian Candidate remake:

And this from V, the miniseries:
