Yesterday i watched it on tv and i loved it ;)

For who doesn't know yet the story :

V for Vendetta is a ten-issue comic-book series written by Alan Moore and illustrated mostly by David Lloyd, set in a dystopian future United Kingdom imagined from the 1980s about the 1990s. A mysterious revolutionary who calls himself " V " works to destroy the totalitarian government, profoundly affecting the people he encounters.

The series depicts a near-future Britain after a limited nuclear war, which has left much of the world destroyed. In this future, a fascist party called "Norsefire" has arisen as the ruling power. "V", an anarchist revolutionary dressed in a Guy Fawkes mask, begins an elaborate, violent, and theatrical campaign to bring down the government. Warner Bros. released a film adaptation in 2006.

There are numerous references throughout V for Vendetta to the number 5 and letter V, which itself represents "5" in Roman numerals:

  • The story begins on the 5th of November
  • The title of each chapter begins with the letter V.
  • The character V is seen reading and quoting from Thomas Pynchon's novel, V .
  • Beethoven's fifth symphony is used by V and noted for the prominent use of three short notes and one long, which is the Morse Code identifier for the letter V (the BBC used this code as a call sign during World War II, most famously in the sense of "V for Victory").
  • The series identifies V as the prisoner from Room V at Larkhill Internment Camp.
  • The access to V's hideout goes from the closed Victoria tube station, the damaged sign of which resembles a sideways V when Finch locates it.
  • V's personal motto consists of the Latin phrase Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici (By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe) - five words that begin with the letter "v". V identifies the origin of the phrase as Faust .
  • Guy Fawkes Night happens on 5 November.
  • The government consists of five branches, associated with the five senses.
  • At Larkhill, V is injected with Batch "5".
  • V's last word, at the end of the series, starts with a V.
  • Much of V's dialogue uses iambic pentameters (verse with five stressed syllables per line).
  • When Finch takes LSD and tries to replicate V's experience at Larkhill, he has an epiphany and runs from the camp. As he revels in his new found "freedom", he thinks

    Vaulting , veering , vomiting up the values that victimized me. Feeling vast . Feeling virginal ... Was this how he felt? this verve , this vitality ... this vision .

    He then concludes with the French terms "La Voie " (the way), "La Vérité " (the truth), and "La Vie "(the life). His French pronunciation of last term sounds like the name "V", and as he says it he stands with his arms up in the shape of the letter "V".
This film make me think about revenge, i don't know why but i think that everyone have to see this movie once..

AND..That's All ;D
I just wanted to say my opinion. ^____^

E 'bronze Alessandro Pittin

The first medal is always that you do not expect, that amazing, that is not predicted. A medal in which the same athlete does not dare hope for.
E 'was also the case the day before yesterday, with our athletes before the race that he declared: "From these Olympics I do not expect anything." Excessive modesty? luck? Everything can be, is the fact that Alexander Pittin, Friuli born in 1990, did the coup. Pittin The good we got the bronze medal in a discipline, Nordic combined, which he had never seen Italian athletes on the podium.
After a sixth place earned in the jumping competition, Pittin started with 48 seconds behind the first in the race to the bottom, during which he managed to climb back and win a well deserved third place.
One can not hope that this is just the beginning for the young Pittin and that the future reserves many other triumphs. And that this medal is a pretext to raise awareness and spread the sport in Italy.
Thank you for this first medal Alessandro! With

The important thing is to participate (but not to win one spits on)

today, Tuesday, Feb. 9, the countdown, which appears on the screen for a few days RAI, comes to mark -3. Three days
fact separate us from the opening Journal of the Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

you still do not know, but for me the Olympics, either winter or summer, are a sacred event to which I have always approached with extreme trepidation. That is to say, in the courtyard of the elementary school, while all the figures exchanged compagnette Beverly Hills 90210, I gazed adoringly my album of the Olympics already complete. Currently there are more collectible figurines of athletes and sticks, but the enthusiasm of that time, the desire that the event begins, and that the Italian medals will be enriched, remain the same as before.

In real hope that the Italian athletes once again give us great satisfaction, I will try to make at least a paragraph each time the loot is impreziosirà flag of a new coin.
At this point we can not but make our enormous and Good Luck, why not wish them to have a C factor worthy of that claimed by Steven Bradbury in Salt Lake City 2002. For those who do not know what happened or memories, here is an entertaining summary of his adventures made by Gialappa:
