How does V For Vendetta get across its message and beliefs through its themes?

The film V for Vendetta is a dystopian film, set in the not so distant future where a fascist government rules over society. the film conveys its themes throughout the film in different scenes. the film mostly portrays the government as the key link to all the themes such as oppression, religion, revolution, vengeance and totalitarian/government. the film mostly uses these themes to play on our minds to wether we are going to take a stand against our own government and not allow such things to happen to us or our future generations, as the overall belief and message of the film is "People should not fear their governments it is the government that should fear their people".

One of the themes for V For Vendetta is religion, this theme is shown in the scene between Evey and the Bishop. This theme is constructed in this scene by mocking and playing on the stereotypes of actual religious figures being sexually involved with children.This is shown through the costume of Evey and the comments made by the bishop. we take from this that we must question why top religious figures are regarded so high in society and why they have a place in governments.

Oppression is also a theme in the film. evidence of this is in the scene with Evey being tortured and with Detricks room of stolen and illegal objects, such as art and homosexual pictures. this shows us that society is being oppressed by the government, however we know that V is Eveys torturer, which shows that V is not a noble protagonist and can still be seen as a terrorist. we must see that we must not allow our government to oppress us and take away our individuality.

Vengeance is one of the most important themes of the film. When we are introduced to the V we witness him blowing up the Old Bailey, the symbol of justice. This makes us our question Vs role in the film and weather he is rebelling for the right causes  e.t.c freedom or vengeance.

Overall the most important key theme of the movie I belive is vengeance. The film only takes place because of V's drive for revenge, it also shows us that V does not conform to the typical stock character of a 'hero', this makes us think, because we usually identify the protagonist. This themes main message is a warning which makes us do what the film wants us to do, think and question are selves  would society go against democracy and its values? because of grudges or vendettas?  Or would we do what we have being doing... Nothing?
