September 3, 1658 – Oliver Cromwell dies. But let’s talk about all four:

πŸ‘‘ Charles & James – monarchy, rule by birth
🩸 Cromwell – autocrat, rule by sword
✝️ Fawkes – zealot, rule by faith

They all wanted control.
None of them wanted you to speak.

But the Way?
The Way is from us.
Not from the one.
Not from power.

We are anti-power. We are all. We are the people.

Ha!
Romford #Cex wouldn't have my #VforVendetta Blu-ray.

There was no UK age rating!

V for Vendetta leaves #Netflix (in the USA) August 31.

It strikes me that there are an awful lot of well-known British dystopian/authoritarian fiction works.

1984 (I read this in school)
Brave New World
Children of Men
V for Vendetta (of course)

These exist in American media as well, of course. Is it my imagination or are these kinds of works more prevalent in 20C/21C British society? And if so - why? Is there something in British culture that inspires such works particularly?

I don't mean this as commentary on current events, but you take that as you will.

V for Vendetta (2006)

In a world in which Great Britain has become a fascist state, a masked vigilante known only as β€œV” conducts guerrilla warfare against the oppressive British government. When V rescues a young woman from the secret police, he finds in her an ally with whom he can continue his fight to free the people of Britain.

One of my favorite things about the dominoes scene from the #movie #VforVendetta is that, without the context of the speech going on in the background, V is just sitting at home alone on a random night playing lol. Which he actually does, as established in the movie when he play-fights the armor while watching the movie. Like this elaborate domino show has no purpose and this wasn't the night of the protest lol
