Sorry guys, it's not about the movie. It's about the story. It's about the symbolism. It's about an idea that lives forever...

The symbol of the Guy Fawkes mask stands for resistance to oppression -- whatever the cause, whatever the reason. In the movie V for Vendetta, a character wears a Guy Fawkes mask to rise up against the fascist government.
