V for Vendetta Feels More Real Than Ever

In this episode, we break down V for Vendetta — a political thriller that feels more relevant today than ever before. We explore the film’s themes of control, freedom, rebellion, and identity, and analyze how it uses symbolism to comment on government, fear, and power. We also dive into Hugo Weaving’s incredible performance as V, Natalie Portman’s transformation, and how the film’s message has evolved in modern culture. From the meaning behind the mask to the lasting impact of its ideas, this is one of the most powerful breakdowns we’ve done yet.
