The movie “V for Vendetta” has a lot of problems but there is an interesting scene that shows how it all starts to blow up for the government. Basically, everyone lives in fear of the cops. There are small acts of civil disobedience by people wearing masks (ironically) and the police crack down. Then the time comes when someone in a mask is spraying graffiti (the V symbol) and a cop shoots them dead. Turns out it’s a young girl wearing the mask. A crowd forms. The policeman holds up his badge, because that is always enough to cow the people. Only, this time it isn’t. And pretty soon there are riots everywhere.
Any interest that I may have had in seeing that movie vanished when I saw that actress sporting a buzz cut. Great point you make, however.
