Remember, remember, the
5th of November
The
Gunpowder Treason and plot;
I see of
no reason why Gunpowder Treason
Should
ever be forgot.
Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim
and villain by the vicissitudes
of fate.
This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox
populi, now vacant, vanished.
However, this valorous visitation of
a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these
venal and virulent
vermin vanguarding
vice and vouchsafing
the violently vicious
and voracious violation
of volition.
The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta
held as a votive,
not in vain, for the value
and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant
and the virtuous. Verily,
this vichyssoise of verbiage
veers most verbose,
so let me simply add that it’s my very good
honor to meet you and you may call me V.
Lihatlah! Di hadapanmu adalah seorang pemain sandiwara
kawakan yang rendah, demi orang lain berperan menjadi korban sekaligus penjahat
oleh perubahan nasib.
Wajah ini, bukan sekedar topeng kesia-siaan, melainkan
sisa suara rakyat, yang telah hampa, menghilang.
Bagaimanapun, api dendam dari luka yang silam ini tetap
hidup, dan telah berjanji akan mengalahkan manusia yang jahat dan korup yang
menunjukkan sifat buruk dan yang menunjukkan kekejaman dan pelanggaran terhadap
kebebasan berkehendak secara rakus.
Keputusan satu-satunya adalah balas dendam; sebuah
perang pribadi yang dipegang sebagai janji suci, tidak dalam kesia-siaan,
karena nilai dan kejujuran seperti ini suatu hari akan memulihkan kehormatan
bagi yang waspada dan yang luhur budi.
Sebenarnya, campuran kata-kata rumit ini menjadi
semakin bertele-tele, jadi biarkan saya secara sederhana menambahkan bahwa
bertemu dengan anda adalah sebuah kehormatan yang luar biasa bagi saya dan anda
boleh memanggil saya V.
“Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici” (Doctor Faustus –
Christopher Marlowe)
Oleh kekuatan
kebenaran, aku, ketika hidup, telah menaklukkan alam semesta.
Dialog 1:
EV : You really think that blowing
up Parliament is going to make this country a better place?
V : There’s no certainty, only
opportunity.
EV : Well, I think you can be
pretty certain that if anyone does show up, Creedy will black bag every one of
them.
V : People should no be afraid of
their governments, governments should be afraid of their people.
EV : And you’re going to make that
happen by blowing up a building?
V : The building is a symbol, as
is the act of destroying it. Symbols are given power by people. Alone, a symbol
is meaningless, but with enough people, blowing up a building can change the
world.
EV : I wish I believed that was possible.
But every time I’ve seen this world change it’s always been for the worse.
Dialog 2:
EV : V. Yesterday I couldn’t find
my ID. You didn’t take it, did you?
V : Would you prefer a lie or the
truth?
EV : Did you have anything to do
with…that?
V : Yes, I killed him.
EV : You…oh God.
V : You’re upset.
EV : I’m upset? You just said you
killed Lewis Prothero.
V : I might have killed the
Fingermen that attacked you, but I heard no objection then.
EV : What?
V : Violence can be used for good.
EV : What are you talking about?
V : Justice.
EV : Oh. I see.
V : There’s no court in this
country for men like Prothero.
EV : And are you going to kill
more people?
V : Yes.
Dialog 3:
EF : Hold it. Stop right there.
You’re Evey Hammond, aren’t you? Then it’s over.
EV : Almost.
EF : Stop! Get your hand off that
lever.
EV : No.
EF : Why are you doing this?
EV : Because he was right.
EF : About what?
EV : That this country needs more
than a building right now. It needs hope.

Film keren, yang akhirnya ß tonton. Makasih buat Ramala yang udah ngerekomendasiin film ini. Disutradarain oleh James McTeigue, plus writing credits oleh Wachowski Brothers buat screen playnya; yang ngingetin sama The Matrix Trilogy, terutama bagian berantemnya.
Ratingnya 8.2/10 di IMDB
Recommended!!!
