so i just finished watching v for vendetta. I think my favourite part is when all of the people walk towards the barriers and everyone is wearing Guy Fawkes masks and capes. It's such a powerful image - all those people, who despite their fear - are there demanding change.
But it makes me wonder:
what are we fighting for?
what am i fighting for?
is there anything left to fight for?
is there a reason why everyone seems to have stopped demanding change?
is there a reason why everyone seems to have stopped demanding better?

My favorite part of that film: Hugo Weaving's national broadcast. Especially this part:

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."
that was a really good part
