2 Author Alan Moore, was born on November 18 in 1953, the British cartoonist, novelist and screenplay writer. He was well-known by his excellent work Watchmen.

4 Plot for Evey Hammond is going out to see a co-worker named Gordon Deitrich. It is past curfew, so she is stopped by three police officers. When she is about to be harmed, V, a man who wears a Guy Fawkes mask, rescues her. Then they go up on the roof. Evey is shocked to see the Old Bailey be destroyed as V laughs.

5 The next day, V enters the BTN. He then forces the people there to play a message. The message goes out to all households. V tells people that the government can tape anyone and arrest anyone and people fear it. And he would blow up the Old Bailey and invites them to join him next November 5th.

6 The government has started to pour troops into the BTN. V fights them off, but is caught. However, Evey frees V. V carries her away because he knows she would be in big trouble for helping him. After some time, Evey comes to help V to kill a priest. Then Evey runs away to Gordon ’s house. One day, Gordon makes fun of the Chancellor Adam Sutler on his talk show. In response, Sutler arrests him.

7 Evey tries to escape and is caught. She is then tortured over many days. Eventually, one man tells her that she will be shot if she doesn’t say anything about V. Evey says she would rather be shot, she doesn’t fear any more. This is what V wants. Evey is angry when It’s revealed that V was behind the torture but soon accepts it. She promises to come back before November 5th.

8 Meanwhile, a Norsefire Party worker named Eric Finch begins to look into the government. He does not trust it anymore. He realizes that V is killing everyone who was at a detention camp called Larkhill. He attempts to find out more information. Actually, V was a prisoner at Larkhill and blew the place up when he escaped.

9 As November 5th approaches, the city gets restless. V gives out thousands of Guy Fawkes masks to people for them to wear on November 5th. Evey comes back. V has loaded explosives into a train that will go underneath the Palace of Westminster, then he disappears. V goes to another area to kill Sutler and Peter Creedy, the second-in-command of Norsefire, but he is severely wounded. He dies in Evey's arms. Finch finds Evey and attempts to stop her. Evey says,”No, because this country needs more than a building. It needs hope.” Finch allows the train to go. The 1812 Overture begins again, and everyone watches as the Palace of Westminster is destroyed.

10 Classic lines You're getting back at them for what they did to you. 以牙还牙,以血还血。 People should not be afraid of their governments , governments should be afraid of their people. 人民不应该惧怕政府,政府应该惧怕人民。 There is no such thing as coincidence, just the illusion of coincidence itself. 根本没有巧合,巧合只是一种幻觉。

11 Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation , words will always retain their power. 因为尽管沉默代替了谈话,言语却总是能保持它 的力量。 Artists used the lies to tell the truth, while politicians used them to cover the truth up. 艺术家用谎言道出真相,政客用谎言掩盖真相。 You wear a mask for so long, you forget who you were beneath it. 你戴面具的时间太长,都不记得面具下的自己是 什么样子了。

12 Ideas Governments need to substantially serve for the people, rather than make benefits and satisfy their own desires. People who are oppressed should learn to resist. When the thought of mind is to get people to unite together, it's unstoppable. We are not supposed to be influenced by others, but to have our own thoughts and pursuit.

13 Thank you~!
