- I think it's time to let you guys know that the previous descriptions were basically tongue-in-cheek trolls. And boy, it worked. I get several emails a day from youtube telling me people have commented and they all sound pretty pissed off. I'm actually a Socialist IRL. Thanks for watching.
Also, yeah, I'm aware that the speech is missing something from the centre. When I ripped it and put it on WMM, it gave me loads of 10 second clips and it seems I forgot to put some in; sorry about that. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
I'm not a big fan of documentaries. I prefer my dystopian political thrillers to be fiction.
😆 🤣 😂 😹 but sad
True
I coughed up my drink after reading that

This thriller is slowly turning into a documentary.
They Live was a documentary too which was confirmed by Rodney Piper himself.
Unfortunately people are to simple minded. A lot more pain has to be administered before they decide to wake up.
No, this is just fiction. Look for Idiocracy. That's a documentary that was meant to be a comedy, and a joke.

If you’re looking for those who spread the words of propaganda.. consider yourselves who listen without thinking, those emotionally share unconfirmed data without verification, and blindly believe the bias of big media, woke Hollywood and hypocritical politicians and use retweet’s, and Facebook and other forms of social media to spread those incoherent demands triggered by irrational feelings of fabricated intolerance in the disguise of social injustice.

"People should not be afraid of their governments,
governments should be afraid of their people."
Yea but the governments have people with guns and devices that can thin the people. And their people also know how to fight and use those devices. Ijs
Raul Martinez The people have guns too, at least here in America. And we will go far for our freedoms. Unless you are Obama, then you will go as far as you can to fuck everyone over in your country.
Keira Hanneman please replace 'governments' with 'corporations' when you share this in the future!
5thdimensionstuff it's a quote from the movie
Keira Hanneman I know.. but why not change it a bit so its meaning becomes more actual?
The only truly unrealistic element in V for Vendetta was V getting the upper hand so easily
Plot armour, mate.
He's basically supernatural
Yes and no. You forget that he has had nothing else to do but plot every single step of this plan. He has had time to make plans and back up plans.
The simple flaw in any system of control is: knowing what makes it work and how it works - when you know them, you know how to beat them, and with a repressed society - help will always be freely available 👍
Also it's unrealistic that the oppressive government could ever be anything other than leftist 😂
I came out of the theatre that day with a different point of view, and a feeling that one day we will need to do the same, and that feeling grows stronger everyday.
Covid was our reckoning and we failed ourselves. I had my job taken away from me by a tyrannical state. I was the only person I know that took a pay cut and found another job instead of suckling off the government's teet. I hope your feeling has grown strong enough to stop you from being a coward. If you can't already tell that this has gone way too far for way too long then I pity you
Unlike this film, the heart of change happens by building, not just by destruction.

Personally I believe the people would only rise up if access to sports fixtures and night clubs were curtailed. We are all obviously just waiting for the gospel according to murdoch/fox news!
So true
Yeah how disappointing
This sounds just like American today. We have allowed the elite to gain power and we squabble amongst ourselves over petty issues. We should be fighting the elite together.

Good evening, London. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine- the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, thereby those important events of the past usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, a celebration of a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November the 5th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat. There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night I sought to end that silence. Last night I destroyed the Old Bailey, to remind this country of what it has forgotten. More than four hundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you then I would suggest you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot!

to everyone pointing fingers why our society is broken: like V says "If you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror"
Bullshit. Modern society is built in a way that regulates us to the bone. We have little space for change, so that higher classes can milk us to the last drop. Enough of the guilt culture. Just use the space you have to do what you can. That's our responsibility.
Lol how is society broken 😂

@@brettt141 That's a very dumb assumption, you don't even know what he's specifically referring to. You're pretty blind if you can't see that tyranny is enveloping in our country.
@@LethalByChoice there is a reason why there is antifa.... kind of funny they show up in all the wrong places... but I guess some people
Like the white supremacy and proud boys or kkk gathering more and more strength and having a voice in the White House .... they are just very very fine people.
@@macdelttorres3366 proud boys are lead by a "person of colour" (i do not remember the specific race but he is not white) and their ideas are not racist at all considering the amount of different races the members can be, in fact, if proud boys are racist they are terrible at it by allowing anyone of any skin color join them. In fact its ridiculous to make that claim.
Secondly: the KKK are less and less relevant every year with less than 3000 members as of last year, and even so, the kkk are more closely related to the democratic party than they ever were the Republican party in the USA and this is proven by the fact that Joe Biden had close ties with Robert Byrd who actually had ties with the kkk.
Also "white supremacy" is on the rise due to the fact that any other group is permitted to act in a supremacist manner. Other groups are just as supremacist in nature and this has been coming to a boiling point because the standards of not being racist or sexist were only put on white individuals and it has become the case where people have seen the double standard and swung to the extreme in many cases or decided to fight in between attacking both extremes, you cannot have double standards and expect something positive to form.
Also Antifa is a very bad example considering they are acting more fascistic than they people they oppose, violent attempts to censor their opponents, physically attacking opposition whenever they see fit, and it's been riling people up.
You like to call the right fascists, from an outside perspective, you're a hypocrite. You say you hate fascists yet no doubt from reading your comment likely believe that censorship is just, that violence is just, that attacking those of another opinion off of social media, banning people and removing them is just, then well done, you acted more like a nazi than anyone else.
Also, if you have ever said or thought of the line "believe all women" and then asked for evidence when it's accusations against those of your political leanings, then you are a hypocrite to a very high degree. Not saying you believe in the aforementioned quote or acted in this way, but if you have, then you already have my conclusion.
But let's use your logic. "Maybe theres a reason people such as the proud boys are popping up, maybe its because anti-American sentiment has grown to the point such individuals feel justified to defend the ideals of the nation, maybe white supremacist thinking is popping up due to a rise in anti-white racism that has gone un-condemned and even praised and so it has risen not as the disease but as the symptom of hypocrisy, a disease rampant within the political left of America" there, your logic presented in an opposing argument, it does not matter if you agree with the argument, your logic is utilized and therefore it matters not whether you sympathize with what it defends or what it is used for, you say antifa rising is the result of fascism yet someone can say that Antifa has caused the rise of opposing groups.
Either way, it isn't my job to tell you what to think, I just disagree.
This is awfully relevant to today.
This is what i would like to hear in the news. I know it without saying but major part of people don`t see it like it is.
The way he says, "If YOU see what I see, if YOU feel what I feel ....'
Runs chills down my spine.
yeah that line made my heart boil
"He promised you order, he promised you peace. And all he demanded in return was your silent obedient consent."

@@Epic-so3ek philippines bro
Because all the other corrupted leaders you've had were SOOOO much better.... heh
Shut up, all you had to was not go to bars, movies, or beaches for a FEW months, but no that didn't happen
@@BeaverChainsaw actually, majority of the Filipinos did not go to bars, movies, cinemas, etc. The middle class had to continue working to provide for the family, so they had to go out. The lower class had nowhere else to go, added by the fact that they are marginalized, and had been struggling even before the pandemic.
It's a point of pride, to be honest. We don't have dumbasses like anti-maskers where masks = slavery. Some cannot afford a mask or face shield. Unlike the UK when they lifted the quarantine, some of those britons head straight to pubs.
We go outside because we have to work, and we are well aware of the danger, but it's better than waiting for a vaccine and have no money (at least in some other people's perspective).

That’s a good quote. One should always be fearful of a man or woman with nothing to lose.
What the tyrannical authority figures fear most is not a man or woman without fear, but a man or a woman with nothing left to lose, and a critically thinking mind.....
For when there is nothing left to lose, then fear is lost, and once fear is lost, and once one is committed to a single minded ness of vengence, than a most terrible plan will hatch, which will ultimately end in either martyrdom or victory.

This speech always gives me the chills. Truly a message for every bygone age, for every current system, for every day that passes with more and more freedoms being quashed, and for every person who let these injustices go quietly.

Unfortunately people are to simple minded. A lot more pain has to be administered before they decide to wake up.

Man Hugo Weaving rules.
What spins me out is how many people watch this movie and don't seem to (or want to understand) that V is talking about the rise of fascism through the thinly veiled guise of conservativism.
Actually a lot of us got that message. Since it’s pretty much spelled out for us throughout the movie and is even talked of in a later scene.
@danhalo1 Exactly! Yet somehow on every video clip from this movie, in the comments is some conservative lunatic who clearly didn't watch the movie.
@@Belthazor24there are a lot of them in these comments, absolutely zero grasp of proper context.
"Words will always retain their power."
What an important message for today. It manages to be true for the founding fathers who afforded civil liberties and protections for freedom of speech. V's internal logic is so cogent, it's very hard not to agree at times.
Don't lean so hard on your founding mythology Yank. Your "founding fathers" (what a patronizing name) were as guilty and fallable as anyone else, one of them even said your constitution should expire and be re-written every 16 years because he knew your culture and politics would change so much.
@@seekingabsolution1907 That's why Article 5 of the Constitution exists. They incorporated the means to evolve within the original framework. Sadly, with the passing of so many generations, we the people became lazy. We placed more importance on the convenience of comfort than on being informed enough to carry on, with due diligence, the duty presented us of keeping our government in check. That's why Franklin said "...a Republic, if you can keep it..." The shady shit our government has done, over the past century especially, the brunt of responsibility lies at our own feet for not keeping informed, not keeping government accountable to us, and for falling for the illusion that there is any real difference between the 2 parties. We vote in the same archetypes year after year, and prove ourselves insane and short on memory for ever hoping to expect a different result. I have faith in the potential of what this country could be, and the ideals we as a nation should stand for... but not in the majority of her citizens... and certainly not in any government official. Struggle is the crucible that hardens and hones great people. Great people bring forth good times. Good times bring forth lazy and complacent people, and with them the decline. Human history is replete with this cycle.... today is no different.
Civil Liberties are privileges, not freedom. Freedom is freedom... stop thinking differently spelled words are synonymous with each other, they are not.
Yes, the American founding fathers believed and wrote about freedom. These were people who sometimes fought for individual freedoms and sometimes personally restricted them as slave owners. Americans like all people can be complex and morally dubious (not all Americans, just like not all people). I never claimed that Americans were without faults (no one believes that, except straw men). If you dislike my comment or America just say so. You don't have to attack political institutions with countless examples of well documented scandals. Your time would likely be better spent writing this in a dissertation or lengthy journal article.
Nevertheless, I assert words that champion freedom are still important for maintaining freedom. Freedom because of words allows you to disagree without condemnation or threat of force. People don't have to believe in America to believe in freedom.
@@MickeyKraut419 Well said! A Republic with high ideals is hard to maintain in any age.
This is becoming more and more of a relevant speech everyday
the entire movie is. while this movie shows england, it also says that the US is fighting another civil war. spot on
V For Vendetta - absolutely one of my favourite movies of all time
After a few years, mirrors can go blind. They become less reflective and when you look into one it's like everything is in a thick white fog.
I suspect a lot of people need new mirrors in this world...
" Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense."
Alan Moore, V for Vendetta

There is just something about the way Hugo Weaving says "I enjoy them as much as any bloke".
Nineteen Eighty-Four is now. Remember the scene in the book when the old man tells Winston he doesn't have a Telescreen because "I could never afford one"?
We all carry telescreens in our pockets. We volunteered for it. We PAID for them.
This message hits closer to home with each passing year...
“Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth.”
I loved watching this back in the day. Now I'm fucking living it, and it's nowhere nearly as entertaining.😬😬

Trueee
Oddly enough, it's not the government censoring us as we had all feared, but large corporations and the mob. I would call it even more extreme than anything our government could do
@@krismine99 certain ppl in Government are in on it.
@@jamiekoga1903 But aren't those in the government controlled to a certain extent by the wishes of those corporations?

who would have thought that this movie would predict the governments of 2021
With a LOT of luck, 2022 will be the beginning of the end of it.
For this generation.
The next crowd will have new battles.
I have to say when I saw this as a kid I thought it was really boring but as I got older and kind of saw how the world work this movie really speaks to me about how our government really works anymore and can't help but agree everything V is saying
"Those who trade their liberty for security deserve neither." -Thomas Jefferson.
That was Ben Franklin.
Incorrect.
Neither Benjamin Franklin or Thomas Jefferson said those words.
B. Franklin is believed to have penned those words in a letter to the Pennsylvania Assembly in 1755. The actual quote is “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety”
The issue is this quote had an entirely different meaning back then than it serves today.
@@lucifer6966So the real person who said it is whoever read the letter aloud in the assembly.
I’ve heard it as “those who sacrifice freedom for safety deserve neither and will get neither.”
@@lucifer6966 No, it meant the same thing back then.
Where's V when you need him?
"To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize."
We are not allowed to criticize dirtbag fascists without temper tantrums from the religious authoritarian right.

*Fascism, as defined by Dictionary.com is characterized by suppression of (in America's case) freedom of speech, minority rights, and right to bear arms (in case of tyranny). The Republican party does not stand for any of those things, they are in fact the complete opposite in that they promote truthful news outlets and peaceful and constructive protest, fiercely protect minority rights, and encourage people of all political, racial, and economic background to exercise their 2nd Amendment right. Fascists are **racist (which most Republicans are not), aggressively nationalistic (starting wars to expand control and never questioning their goverment or orders, which most Republicans don't do), and police all information from outside sources so as to control the populace (...in case you haven't noticed, Republicans want more information from the outside world so as to educate and inspire the people).
Fascism is basically just authoritarianism but with a healthy dose of racism mixed in. The Republican party is not fascist. If you _were_ living in a fascist regime, you wouldn't be able to call it a fascist regime!
I invite you to present to me a counter argument that debunks some, or all, of my points, or rationalize your own thoughts and explain to me why you think your points are correct. Please be respectful and reasonable, thank you, God bless!
*Fascism, a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.
**Racist, a person who believes in racism, the doctrine that one's own racial group is superior or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others.
@@balladofcoseypolar4711 Also, separate topic, there is nothing wrong with being a Christian. If you are not one then I encourage you to consider doing your research by visiting a church or 2 or 3, talking to Christians and reading the Bible. If you are really such a progressive person as you may think you are then you will educate yourself on the culture and ideologies of the Christian faith, otherwise, why call oneself "progressive?"
I love the contrast of John Hurt playing the Chancellor when in 1984 he was Winston Smith
I've always thought this speech was HEAVILY influenced by a REAL revolutionary hero: Martin Luther King Jr.:
"You may be 38 years old, as I happen to be. And one day, some great opportunity stands before you and calls you to stand up for some great principle, some great issue, some great cause. And you refuse to do it because you are afraid…. You refuse to do it because you want to live longer…. You’re afraid that you will lose your job, or you are afraid that you will be criticized or that you will lose your popularity, or you’re afraid that somebody will stab you, or shoot at you or bomb your house; so you refuse to take the stand.
Well, you may go on and live until you are 90, but you’re just as dead at 38 as you would be at 90. And the cessation of breathing in your life is but the belated announcement of an earlier death of the spirit."
Like V, Dr. King died shortly after this speech. Five months after this sermon, he was shot and killed for his efforts to further justice, freedom and equality for all.
There are REAL revolutionaries and heroes out there. Never forget that.
He wasn't perfect and never claimed to be, but MLK Jr stood up for what he believed was right, lived that belief, and ultimately died for it, trying his best to engineer the first peaceful revolution; not of government but a revolution of society. That deserves the highest respect. No one can ask more of any man than that.
It’s amazing the world is turning out like to b this movie
@Benjamin Salas 1983 the dawn
And it will have the same consequences unless people demand their freedoms back.
@Mastodon1976 commie traitor
@Mastodon1976 Oh, how fun it is to see another left-wing guy on the web ( I mean you ). All that you can do -- call other people TRUMPtards. It is almost like Trump is the one and only Jesus of the Right Wing.
But there is one and only truth - In history of the mankind there were and there are and there will be many upon many terrible religions, ideas and ideologies. The Right Wingers are evil, The Left Wingers are evil - it changes from time to time. (By the way. Fascism is a left wing ideology, natural evolution of socialism, because Communism is only an idea of a perfect world, not a working thing at all). NAZIS, Bolsheviks, Capitalists during the times when Monopolies Ruled America and Europe.
The Libra shifts from one side to another. And right now, at this very moment EVIL is on the left Side. Because there are almost no more moderate Leftists, only radical Globalists remain, that want to destroy the very same western world that gave birth to them, world that fed them. And what for? For the rotten ideas of Leftist Leaders.
And you, "comrade" are one such leftist. Rotten. Stupid. Blind and deaf. This movie advocates exactly against such people as you are. Dictatorship is always a dictatorship. Nationalist or Socialist - it matters not at all
Mastodon1976 It’s honestly pathetic and annoying reading whatever you say, thinking that only right wringed groups are solely responsible for everything that’s happened. I’m not even right wing, yet I have no doubt you would try and label me as that given how amazingly small your brain is. Both sides of every political system is in the wrong for everything’s that’s happened, not just “right” wing groups. So maybe get your head out of your ass

2021... So much truth it's sad
"Good evening, London. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine- the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, thereby those important events of the past usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, a celebration of a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November the 5th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat. There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night I sought to end that silence. Last night I destroyed the Old Bailey, to remind this country of what it has forgotten. More than four hundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you then I would suggest you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot."
Adam Sutler more like Adam Sandler
