Hey everyone! Welcome to a very special reaction video where I’m joined by none other than my amazing editor Meli! 🎭 As I visit my hometown of Barranquilla, Colombia, we decided it was the perfect time for a movie night, and what better film to dive into than V for Vendetta?
Join us as we explore this gripping tale of resistance and identity. This reaction is not only a first because it’s my first duo reaction on the channel, but also because it’s filmed right from my hometown with one of my closest collaborators!

Thank you Cristy for letting me be a part of this reaction! ❤️🎦
You did an awesome job, Meli!
Fantastic reaction from both of you, you should do more!
Anything you'd like to tell us about your past?
*_«Melissa Margarita Calderón Ojeda (born August 12, 1984), also known as "La China", is a suspected Mexican drug trafficker, assassin and the ex leader of "Las Fuerzas Especiales de Los Dámaso", an enforcer group of the Sinaloa Cartel under the orders of Damaso Lopez Nuñez. Left after being replaced as leader. Starting Cartel California Sur With her then boyfriend El chino Lopez and unknown members of Southern California gangs. little else is known She is allegedly responsible for over 150 murders in Mexico and multiple outbreaks of violence in La Paz.»_*
@@hoon_sol 🤣that woman has certainly accomplished a lot. Not me though!
My fav part of the whole movie is "You've got nothing, we have guns" speech and him replying with " NO, what you have are bullets, and the hope that when your guns are empty I'm no longer be standing, because if I am you'll all be dead before you've reloaded" OOOF
Batman: Hm.....Alfred where's my notepad, I gota write that one down.
The confidence of a young actress to shave her head on camera is amazing. Natalie has been a top tier actress since the age of 11 in Leon - The Professional.
I think she said once in an interview "Well it is hair. No worries, it grows back!" Made me laugh and respect her even more as an actor, she has guts.
@@mateussoares3569 Im sure that was a factor in it, too! LOL
25:50 Surridge is different from V's other victims. Every _other_ victim V has, in this movie, when their moment comes, they plead with V to be spared, but not Delia.
She finds out that V has injected her with something lethal and her first concern is whether it will be painful.
He assures her that it won't be.
Then she sighs, the fear dissipates, and sadness sets in. "Is it meaningless to apologize?"
Suddenly, it's evident, somewhere along the line, it occurred to her the sheer _evil_ of what she'd been doing. You can be sure, at first, she was horrified. But then she was possessed of the need to make amends and her greatest fear has been that she would die before that happened.
Does she ask to be spared? Does she plead with V to give her some kind of imagined antidote? No. She has resigned herself to her fate, and when she apologizes, it's clear, she's speaking from guilt, not fear.
In this, she is redeemed.
OK, you two have amazing chemistry. I had so much fun with this reaction! You need to do it again someday!
Thank you Adam!
2nd that
I couldn’t agree more!! It doesn’t hurt that you are both quite “camera-friendly” (aka pretty), but I actually *listened* to most of this reaction [it was next in my YT playlist and I’ve seen the movie enough times to recognize the scenes by audio alone] and thoroughly enjoyed it! I’ll “third” the above request that you do more reactions together in the future - just as long as the exquisite editing doesn’t suffer because y’all are busy having too much fun 😂
@@CristyReactsIf, by chance, you ladies have NOT seen Leon: The Proffessional...that would be right up ya alleys...super Portman debut and all 👌
V was an anti hero / necessary monster, and he knew that he must die with the “old world” that created him.
“When on a quest for revenge, dig two graves”
V is a great example of an anti hero! I think a lot of people throw around that term and don't really understand it or use it correctly. V is a great example of an anti hero because he has a heroic goal (free the people from their oppressive government) but is going about it in an arguably un-heroic way (Killing and destroying).
"Cus we hate the goverment"
"THIS.....GOVERMENT, THIS FAKE FAKE GOVERMENT" *looks at the camera nervously*
JAJAJAJA 10/10
It's jejejeje, not hahahaha. ;)
they say that the face is the most important tool of the actor. apparently not when that actor is Hugo Weaving!
He has had some of the most incredible roles imaginable and absolutely killed it in all of them.
Huge Weaving as V. Karl Urban as Judge Dredd. Two excellent faceless comic book performances.
"He lives through her"
(awwww)
"Yeahhh....but not really, he's not here"
💀
38:50 Consider the significance of this. V has built an exhibit to preserve the memory of his former inmate. She's gone but she lives on in his memory.
Hugo Weaving's voice is so iconic!
The Valerie vignette hands down is one of the best stories ever told in a script, and directly pulled from the comic. Honestly the film was so important for our time! Loved your reactions! You should pair up again when you can!
Something left out of the movie that I think adds good context to the story. Larkhill was basically a concentration camp for "undesirables" where they were medically experimented on. At Larkhill V was considered a model prisoner and docile. So much so that he was allowed pretty free reign to work in the garden there. He worked to bring Scarlett Carsons back from the brink of extinction (in honor of Valerie, the woman in room IV). He also used the fertilizer from the garden to fashion several bombs which lead to the explosions and fire that destroyed Larkhill and allowed his escape.
Remember, remember the 5th of November!
I'm not sure Americans really get that 🦁🦁🦁
@@orangewarm1 Americans as a whole are considerably more capable than the rest of the world. (there is a reason there is the US and then the rest of YOU) It's not even close.
Cristy said he doesn't get to see what he's building. There is a fantastic quote from Andor from another revolutionary "I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I'll never see."
23:41 "What does Irish... eh-eh... Ireland have to with it?"
"I don't know."
Historically, England and Ireland have had a discordant relationship. It doesn't really have good reasons behind it, especially nowadays, but if you're looking to sow seeds of suspicion and mistrust, they give you something to work with.
A huge part of it is the Catholic vs Protestant schism, especially since Britain’s identity is heavily wrapped up in reforming the doctrines of the Catholic Church.
@@maxducoudray That has, historically, been part of it, but the last few generations, both religions have been on the decline, and nowadays, both countries are getting along a lot better as a result.
"Our integrity sells for so little, but it is all that we really have. It is the very last inch of us. But within that inch, we are free... An inch; it is small, and it is fragile, and it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away; we must never let them take it from us."
36:23 "Maybe... Maybe it was V."
Cristy, this guest of yours is _incredibly_ astute.
V for Vendetta was a graphic novel started in a British anthology between 1982 and 1985 and completed by DC (which is why the DC logo appeared at the start of the film) in 1988-89. I loved the movie so much that I also bought an anniversary edition of the complete graphic novel to read that as well. The dystopia depicted in the movie/novel seems at once both impossible and also closer to reality every year.
The crazier they are the more women love them 😂
"I can fix him"
Meli-“Do you think we get to see his face?”
Evey- “He was all of us.”
28:52 - V's powers were the result of the "anomalies" found in his blood. His body's reaction to the experiments was enhanced strength, stamina, reflexes, and pain tolerance.
Meli definitely needs to do more reactions with you on here Cristy. You work great together.
"This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them!"
gold star if you know the reference ;)
Its Hugo Weaving that plays V, it will probably blow your mind, but you know him as Elrond in Lord of the Rings, and Red Skull in Captain America. He also plays Agent Smith in The Matrix which is another Wachowski film.
Well, kind of. Actually he was hired at the last minute to redo most of the scenes, but some of the fighting scenes Hugo recalls not doing them so they kept some of the original actor scenes in this.
Think of V as an upper-class, elegant Deadpool.
Viscount Deadmond Poolsworth Fawkes...at your service ⚔👺
One of my favourite movies of all time
I noticed the wet ground in night scenes years and years ago. It has a specific term called a Wet Down and apparently it's just for appearance purposes.
Movies are also almost always released on a Wednesday or Friday in theaters, and on Thursdays for DVD/Blu-Ray.
"When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
In the end when Evie says "He was all of us" the possible takeaway is that in the real world V is not going to be one person. It takes a bunch of people, all contributing in different ways to drive a revolution.
This was such a good reaction, you both played off each other so well
Great catch to see Valerie in the internment camp, you pretty much called out the reveal later that it was a note to V. Melissa had great insight into the movie. And a terrific smile.
People should not be afraid of their government, governments should be afraid of their people. Absolutely right.
8:32 "Percussion instruments are my speciality..." Lol
"V for Vendetta" is based on a graphic novel.
When this movie was made many of the special effects were made for 3d. If any of you lot have a 3d television, or a vr headset, get the 3d version of this movie for the full effect.
Also, the mob unmasking scene includes all the cast and crew. Which is why dead characters were there.
Funny how they call V a crazy person in the beginning,, when he is actually the sanest person in the city😂
I’ve been away for a little while but I am so excited for this one. V for Vendetta is one of my all time favorites. I really hope they enjoyed it!
I hope you enjoy the video! We had a blast watching it together :)
12:25 "What if it's that guy from the beginning..?" It _is_ that guy from the beginning. "V" and "Guy Fawkes" were both played by the same actor -- Hugo Weaving.
A Colombian woman broke my heart. I love the Latina passion, but not the stubbornness.
Great reaction to a great movie. The truth being told in this movie is sadly being ignored by so many people today. I am glad that the two of you liked it.
The actor is Hugo Weaving, who did an amazing job! He played other popular roles including Lord Elrond in Lord of the Rings, Mr. Smith in The Matrix, Red Skull in Captain America, and he’s also the voice of Megatron in the transformers movies
🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴 Barranquilla!! That’s where my folks are from
wooooo saludos a tus viejos
"Conceal me what I am, and be my aid for such disguise as haply shall become the form of my intent."
"V" was played by Hugo Weaving who also played Elrond in Lord of the Rings, Agent Smith in The Matrix and Tom Doss (Desmonds father) in Hacksaw Ridge.
This movie taught me about eggy in the basket, and it has forever since been my favourite breakfast.
First of all, really impressed you had such ongoing banter but were keyed into every detail and calling a lot of the things as they happened!
Also, "Love is Vlind, Season 6" is easily the best joke I've ever seen about a comic book film 😆😆
hahahaha thank you jerod!
Ireland and England have a long adversarial relationship since 1542. Henry VIII wanted to bring Ireland under English control so the island would not become a base for rebellions or foreign invasions. Swift wrote about it (disguised) in Gullivers Travels. Unionists and loyalists are mostly Ulster Protestants. They want Northern Ireland to remain within the United Kingdom. Irish nationalists and republicans, who are mostly Irish Catholics, want Northern Ireland to leave the United Kingdom and join a united Ireland. The IRA was created to fight British rule. Irish people have been viewed with suspicion by Royalists ever since.
Or go further back, and Ireland was one of the major centres for slave trading - and took slaves from the British mainland to trade.
"The IRA was created to fight British rule"
Not any that has existed for a very, very long time. The terrorist nutjobs who bombed for decades had nothing to do with the actual IRA.
The first Talkie Zorro movie (there was a silent film in the 1920's) was the 1940 Mark of Zorro staring Tyrone Power and Basil Wrathbone and is arguably one of the best of the Hollywood golden era of swashbuckling.
There are good movies, and then there are movies that change the way you view the world, even if it's just a little bit. V is that kind of movie for me. The other one I immediately think of is The Truman Show.
According to a behind-the-scenes featurette, they recorded all of Hugo Weaving's dialogue while he was acting on set, with a mic placed in the mask. But, just like with Tom's Hardy's portrayal of Bane in The Dark Knight Rises, the audio that was captured was unusable, and all the dialogue had to be ADR'ed afterwards. So, it's kinda funny that Meli made a comment about not understanding V's dialogue, since this is apparently the much better version. 😊
This is one my faves. I got chills just watching it through your reaction. SO good
Watch “Children of Men” another dystopian view of the world
Adding it to my list!
GREAT Movie! it's the first DVD I bought when I was young! ;)
I've never seen people laugh and smile through some of the most heart breaking scenes. People getting tortured and murdered then thrown in pits. I don't see how thats funny/
Aw
Dc absolutely has nonsuperheo characters this is one of many. A hero in his own mind a revolutionary with a point the masses can agree on. Dc has a lot of very complex characters
It's also Natalie Portman's birthday today in case anyone didn't know.
Having someone else in this reaction made it even more fun! I loved this movie and always enjoy these reactions
You said that you hated that he was dead. But he wasn't dead, technically. He was an idea. And like V said "ideas are bulletproof". Everyone who showed up was him. Dead or alive, they all had the same ideas and virtue and he sacrificed himself for that very same idea. So very much lives on through them. That's why you hear Evie saying he was my brother my mother my father, he was all of us. But also why you hear her in the beginning saying " I will never forget the man and what he meant to me" because even though he was an idea he was still a man
Awesome! You guys rock!
I love your editor's reaction. She needs to be a permanent part of your reactions.
V is both the good guy and the bad guy. Lol
The only people that think he’s the bad guy is the totalitarian government.
Great reaction. You two have great energy bouncing off eachother.
the original story was a graphic novel published by DC. the creator was Alan Moore. if you enjoyed this, check out Watchmen, another Alan Moore creation for DC that was made into a movie. this movie, is as relevant now as it was back when Moore originally created it. its about fascism and how it creeps into a country, and just how hard it is to remove it once it takes hold. very dystopian, and a cautionary tale for all. enjoyed the reaction.
DC have had really great horror and fantasy comics that do have some superhero presence, but they are definitely really interesting and well done. Swamp Thing and Sandman are two that jump to mind.
The director tied this movie to another movie about abusive government 1984, the actor playing the Chancelor was the main character in 1984 and there were a couple other actors from 1984 in V. The movie is a message as are the DC graphic novels. After the Coof reaction in the western nations many saw how this movie was almost prophetic. Now you need to react to the Zorro movies.
9:20 Feeling the need to point out that they're talking about the government in the movie, and not the real government of any particular real country that shall go unnamed... 😬
Lo siento boss but she laughs her butt off when she watches you cry...it was written all over her laughing face.😂😂😂😂😂
54:05 .....acting behind a mask must be numerous levels of magnitude more difficult because you have to act without using your face at all.
It takes an incredibly skilled actor to do that successfully..... I can only think of two or three who would be able to do that. We're lucky that one of those people were chosen for this role.
Both your reactions were excellent.
Good reaction. This was originally a graphic novel, and the story was based on a real historical event, the Gunpowder Plot, where a group of Catholics tried to blow up the English Protestant king and the parliament. It's also a scary portrayal of how authoritarian governments can easily slide into fascist dictatorships.
35:28 LOL
She’s an Israeli born American actress and Luke Skywaker’s mum
😂 Love this!
Que buena dupla! Que se repita
I really enjoyed your chemistry. Fun!
Nah, dawg, Hugo Weaving was perfect. He even had the option of just doing the voice.
Fantastic film. Sooo underrated.
If you haven't ever watched *"EQUILIBRIUM"* it's another awesome dystopian movie, on a par with this movie.
It stars, so many similarly awesome British actors like Christian Bale, Emily Watson and even Sean Bean.
what a great reaction, thanks.
Barranquilla is a cool name. I don't know what it means but it sounds like the name of a very expensive Brandy.
"A snifter of Barranquilla, please. And perhaps a Cohiba to go with it."
hahahaha i love this comment
Thank-you. You're very kind.
It's really hard for people to see V as just an idea and not actually a person.
Since you enjoyed this movie, and if you haven’t already seen it, you should check out the film, ‘The Crow’ with Brandon Lee.
23:13 If you can imagine it it happens even worse. The World is not kind and power is not about money.
V is mr smith from matrix btw
my fav movie ever
7:40 well, now you have to play Pokemon 😂
yeah the roots of the England/Ireland division is also based in the Catholic/Protestant church reformations
V is Hugo weaving you know him from The matrix
Yay❤❤❤
Point of reference. Natalie was born in Jerusalem. I believe her mom is American, and dad is Israeli.
You guys make a very cute duo. This reaction felt more fun because you had a partner to bounce ideas off of
This movie is top 3 from 00s 😊😊
i have to go to Colombia!
Thought this was "V" the tv miniseries from the '80s.
Ah well !
Barranquilllaaaaa!!!! I was born there Lolol
woooooo que viva la butifarraaaa
Hugo Weaving's voice is so recognizable now from The Matrix, Lord of the Rings, & V For Vendetta. You two were amazing in your reaction. Love Meli too!
Hugo Weaving is V, who worked with the Wachowskis in The Matrix (Agent Smith) He’s also Elrond in Lord of the Rings. V originally was a different actor who quit or got fired and then Hugo came in, so there are some scenes that are with the other Actor but since he was wearing a mask no need to reshoot. This was a Maskter class in acting. Mask work is extremely hard but he was able to convoy so many different emotions not just from his lines but his mannerisms and movements. Re chevere tus reviews. New tattoo?
This movie is based on the graphic novel of the same name by Alan Moore/David Lloyd
Natalie Portman is Israeli born and raised in the US. Siendo Colombianas no se si alguna vez vieron Matrix o el Señor de los anillos, y si las vieron no se si la vieron en Español o en Ingles, pero si vieron esas peliculas en Ingles hubieran reconocido al actor detras de la mascara.
As he said, the skin behind the mask isn't him any more than the flesh beneath the skin or the bones beneath the flesh. The reason they don't show the actor's face is because he represents an idea and the face beneath the mask is not what is relevant.
Watching this movie after the pandemic take a whole new meaning.
Cuuando dijo "la casa de papel" supe que era costeña jajajaj
17:23 Yeah. Okay. The deal-breaker, there, for me, would be the humidity. I can deal with temps like that, but something is definitely wrong when a man _cannot_ stop sweating, no matter _how_ little he exerts himself.
