V for Vendetta is 200% about Valerie. Without her, without having received her story, V's sole driving force would be his vendetta. He'd solely be killing all these nazis to get revenge on those who hurt him. His drive to actually make the world better for the oppressed minorities that dwell within it was born from her wish for a world in which things are better and people can have roses again. What V does is entirely ennobled by this lesbian who shared the story of her life with him when he was at his lowest

Evey: I know nothing about you… where you’re from, who your parents were, if you had brothers or sisters…

V, who was tortured until he “forgot who he was or where he came from”: Miss girl I do not know that shit either

babe the wig and guy fawkes mask stay ON during sex

evey: you KILLED him

v, an empath: you're upset

V for Vendetta (2005) dir. James McTeigue

Saxo Grammaticus (c. 1160 – c. 1220) explaining the importance of understanding that all creative work is inherently derivative once you study the oral tradition of storytelling and history and that’s okay because generations have always reformatted tropes and themes to make them relatable to their current audiences

boys can have thousands of coming of age movies, perv on girls, make jokes about finding their underwear and bras, but a kids movie mentioning periods (something very young girls will get and have to adjust to) is somehow dirty and taboo.

if you see a piece of media referencing a natural part of us growing up as sexual, that’s YOU being sick in the head, not us.

guy on tiktok was saying Turning Red is “the devil trying to infiltrate your mind” and the comments went OFF 🤣

We’re so lucky they filmed Lord of the Rings when they did. Twenty years later, they would’ve had Viggo Mortensen riding a green bike that they CGI into a horse because that’s better for some reason.

This simple feeling… is beyond Disney’s comprehension.

I fully believe Viggo Mortensen would’ve brought his own damn horse before riding on a green abomination

I said it once and I’ll say it again;

Unions.

It’s because on set animal handlers have unions.

CG effects houses are run like sweatshops.

That’s why.

i love wizards bc they fucking lie all the time. gandalf was like “a wizard is never late he arrives precisely when he means to” lying ass. he was late as fuck. wizards will just say whatever. it doesn’t even matter when you have a big ass hat

I'm sick of people ragging on plague doctors. They did their best against a disease that makes your skin vomit shit armed with only Greek textbooks translated into Old High German from Grammar School Latin from stilted Hebrew from Berberized Arabic by a monk with boils for eyes. We have nanotechnology and satellites and we're getting fucked to death by a mediocre flu.

Yeah, but the distinction between “healthcare” and “charleton quackery scam” was ambiguous at the time, and people tend to only see the worst of the plague doctors practices.

Modern people are joining breatharian movements, feeding bleach to autistic children, buying from GOOP, blaming viruses on broadband cellular networks, and making homeopathy a billion dollar a year industry. We are dumber than medieval people.
