Review: V for Vendetta by Allan Moore
Hi readers:
SYNOPSIS:
"Remember, remember the fifth of November..."
A frightening and powerful tale of the loss of freedom and identity in a chillingly believable totalitarian world, V for Vendetta stands as one of the highest achievements of the comics medium and a defining work for creators Alan Moore and David Lloyd.
Set in an imagined future England that has given itself over to fascism, this groundbreaking story captures both the suffocating nature of life in an authoritarian police state and the redemptive power of the human spirit which rebels against it. Crafted with sterling clarity and intelligence, V for Vendetta brings an unequaled depth of characterization and verisimilitude to its unflinching account of oppression and resistance.
CRITICISM
Long time
no see. Sorry I haven’t updated more frequently, I was on exams and I had too
much homework to do, so I didn´t have time or energy to make a review. But,
Today I finished school so let’s celebrate with a review from my favorite graphic
novel of all times: V for Vendetta.
If you
think this name sound familiar maybe is because you remember hearing about the
movie where Natalie Portman shaved her head.
Why I like
this graphic novel so much?
Well I like
that V is justice, he actually is justice, It doesn’t matter if you are rich or
poor but if you are not following the value of justice than V is going to prove
you right. He believes that everybody deserves justice, prostitutes,
homosexuals, kids etc. And I love that because
this comic is old and I think it could be mind opening to people who didn’t think
the same way as V.
There is
another reason I like this book, the movie is my dad favorite movie, and It was
mine too, until The Perks Of Being a Wallflower came to my life (who doesn´t
love Logan Lerman), so when I realized that V for Vendetta was a comic I had to
read it, in some personal way I wanted to be more close to my dad by reading
the book. I read it in 1 day, in my computer, and may I tell you when I
finished it, it was midnight and I couldn’t sleep because I was arguing about
the book with myself, and I loved that feeling, where feel so trapped in a book
that when you finish it you are still trapped.
Did I like
the writing style?
I´ve read 3
graphic novels from Allan Moore, and two of them are old, and I learned English
as my second language, so sometimes I don’t understand some words but I like
how he writes, he has a incredible world in his mind and I wish one day I could
be as creative as he is.
Is V a heroe?
I don’t usually think that
a hero in a comic has to have powers, most of times I read a comic my favorite
hero is a powerless, because they always are more intelligent and reasonable
than the other heroes. Personally I think that everyone who stands
for human rights is a hero, everyone who helps someone just to help, not to get
something for a change.
