Class notes - Friday 20th September 2013

V for Vendetta - Relationship between characters
"I killed you ten minutes ago"

Narrative aspects
-The coroner regrets the contribution she made to V's life
-V has no remorse and kills her anyway
-His memory was erased in the process of him being experimented on, he also became disfigured and burnt

-Style of the film = fascism
-Action film? Thriller? Sci-fi? Hybrid genre

-The coroner is suggested to be a mother figure to V
-In some cases, V is a psychopath = post modern narrative
-V is getting his "justified revenge"
-"I killed you ten minutes ago" mercy killing. Was she less at fault than others who experimented on him? All the other people involved at Larkhill knew what was entailed, whereas the coroner was only following orders
-V gives all his victims a red rose. The colour red represents passion, romance, danger and revolution. The rose V gives the coroner could represent yonic imagery.
-This death scene is a lot more calmer and dignified.
-Slow-paced editing
-Dark and cold colours in the scene could be a representation of death
-V appears out of the dark in this scene, having a grim reaper essence about him



post modern narrative = told from Evey's point of view
