'1984' was the year when 'basanti' was the 'rang' for 'vendetta' especially for 'V'

The title says it all...haha...well 4 exams done...2 more and then....anyways i took a break off studies a couple of days back...couldnt see anymore circuits and waveforms...wink wink...so i watched V for Vendetta...and i wouldnt want to spoil it for you by using superlative adjectives...

A brief plot of the movie: The movie is based on a masked freedom fighter using violence to remove the totalitarian government. The movie is based in future london and the cast of hugo weaving and natalie portman is awesome...original screenplay from ' V for Vendetta' by Alan Moore and David Lloyd.

To really relate to the movie...a must read is '1984' by 'George Orwell'....the book has many similarities...as so does our very own 'Rang De Basanti'. by similarities i mean, the government policies of media fabrication as well the theme that the 'people should not be scared of the government, the government should be scared of it's people'.

There is a line in the movie used by 'V' which uses a lot of words in the english dictionary starting with the letter 'V'. It goes as follows:

VoilĂ ! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

Have a read, watch the movie and decide

these cant be ALL the words beginning with V. i can think of more.. vacation (i want one!), vomit (i will soon...eaten too much) and one more... umm..it's unmentionable here.
