V for Vendetta

We went and saw this because we had some free passes to use up at the movie theatre and it was the only thing that my partner wanted to see. I really didn't want to go but couldn't come up with a better suggestion.
ANYWAY, I loved this movie, I thought it was beautiful and profound. It stayed with me after I left the theatre. I can't remember the last movie that did that. I'm not sure any other film ever really has.

*gets all dreamy-eyed at the thought of such a paradise*

The friend whose house I watched the movie at was surprised that I wanted V to live. Said friend is under the impression that I want all main characters to die. Not all of them!

I don't know, I'm glad that he was killed off, as harsh as that sounds. It would've made the film more sappy and somewhat of a cliche. In having him die, the director(and subsequently the author?) kept true to the notion that men come and go, but ideas are eternal and are what is important. At least, that's how I viewed the beginning with Fawkes being strung up.
 
I completely agree with SFG. In same element, the romantic in me what like "NO! I want him to live" but deep down I knew that for the story and for the character's beliefs (as well as to prevent a godawful sequel) he had to die.

Yeah, I know. V was one of those characters I actually like in a movie though so I think that's why I'm not real keen on the idea of him dying. I normally don't like the main characters that much; I'm always more of a fan of the side characters.
