The movie is one of my favourite ones and I apprevuate it's not 1:1 copy of the book. Actually in the end, I was maybe impressed more with the bool than the movie.

Can't say much, I don't know what words should I use to describe how I feel about this story and how meaningful it is.
But, remember remember the 5th of November...

surprisingly i didn’t remember nearly as much as i did from the first read! it’s genius- i mean its stories like these that make me consider true creativity. the movie is one of my favorites but i always forget how different it is from the book. the idea of anarchy and creation vs destruction, ideas vs reality, justice vs vendettas- all incredible!

Mi primer acercamiento a la obra de mootre y la historia no me ha podido gustar más 

En una Inglaterra fascista, aparece un personaje enmascarado, v, quien con la ayuda de Evey pondrá en jaque todo este sistema 

El dibujo es cierto que no es santo de mi devoción pero está al servicio de la historia por lo que tiene mis dieces, 

Moore nos va enseñando de la mano de evey que es el anarquismo para el, poniendo de manifiesto que debe haber violencia para que luego haya una fuerza creadora, o como el fascismo se hace con la justicia para justificar sus actos

Me gusta mucho que el lector coja el papel de evey para aprender lo que es el anarquismo, o el personaje de rosemary quien empieza como miembro del partido y acaba siendo aplastada por el.

Me parece muy curioso muy curioso como se organiza el partido fascista como si fuera un cuerpo humano, los dedos la policía, o el la nariz la investigación. En un mundo que a lo más 1984 está todo vigilado y tal como en la realidad los dictadores son elegidos por dios, aquí el líder tiene una extraña relación con destino, un ordenador que hace las veces De Dios


Es un cómic que me ha encantado y que no necesita lectura previa de otras cosas como a lo mejor paz con watchmen. Un cómic percecto para empezar con el autor o con el formato

Son especialmente deliciosas las partes que pasan en larkhill

This sits alongside "[b:Watchmen|472331|Watchmen|Alan Moore|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1442239711s/472331.jpg|4358649]" as one of [a:Alan Moore|3961|Alan Moore|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1304944713p2/3961.jpg]'s most influential works, with this set in the (then) future of the late 90s: a time when, following a global cataclysm, England has given itself over to fascism.

I'll be honest: I'd seen the Natalie Portman/Hugo Weaving film years ago (mainly out of curiosity to see how the Wachowski's would follow up The Matrix films), but had no idea how closely it stuck to the core material.

Until now.

The answer is actually surprisingly faithful, with most of the core beats of the two versions the same.

While both versions, I feel, do lose their way a bit at just over the half way mark, they both do have some memorable (and thought-worthy) quotes, chief among them these two:

[i]People shouldn't be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people[/i]

[i]Everybody is special. Everybody. Everybody is a hero, a lover, a fool, a villain. Everybody. Everybody has their story to tell[/i]
