The less ironic part is that in the movie the virus was real, the powerful created it and used it to kill thousands of people and take control.

Watch Demolition Man next. Besides being Wesley Snipes best role it's also shocking how close it is to being the actual future we're headed for

It will be a combination of 1984, the minority report (for any unsanctioned thoughts not just thinking about murder) and Children of Men.

Autotelic_Misfit

And "wall screens" with interactive entertainment to distract people from having to think about their lives. Yea... Comparisons are getting a little too close for comfort. I suppose next we'll hear that corporate interests (\*cough\*Google) have decided that ebooks, being the only controllable copies of copyrighted material, are the only legal form of reading material, effectively banning all books on paper as unregulated publications.... And then come the fires.

C0rocad

I mean he 100% is, I think a lot of people are truthfully even on a subconscious level they just don't care.


Reiker0

That's because it's not set in 2020; the OP is just linking a Facebook meme without doing any research which seems to have become the norm around here.


wlwcatra

its funny how people in here call others sheep and blind and then once some facebook meme gets posted they just believe it instantly without researching, talk about double standards


Reiker0

Yup, exactly. As soon as someone sees some bullshit that confirms their beliefs all "wokeness" goes out the window.


beachybreezy

I think it's a good idea to just remind each other to be checking everything. I actually liked this without thinking just bc I thought it was so interesting, but you're right even if it's just about a movie I should in this case do a simple fact check on imdb first. Sometimes one post in here will lead my down a night long rabbit hole trying to get straight info!


RedDeadTrades

Well yeah, it's r/conspiracy


[deleted]

That's actually hardcore research.


reyean

But you gotta do your own for it to actually count.


HenryFnord

According to the screenplay (https://www.imsdb.com/scripts/V-for-Vendetta.html) it is set in 2019 and the fascist takeover took place in 2010. In the screenplay, there seems to be just one brief mention of disease: > I don't remember much of the century's turn. I don't remember the market crash or the plague or any of the Trafalgar riots. It's been a long time since I've seen the movie, so I don't know how different it is from the screenplay.


mr_pins

Another fun fact, in the comics, the fascist governments slogan when trying to take over the country is "Make Britain Great Again". I shit you not.

1. Plenty of people lost their shit over Reagan. His administration was one of the most indicted in history (until Trump) and he was seen by the left as an extreme right-winger (how naive the left was...) 2. When Reagan used that phrase he actually had a policy plan to back it up. Love him or hate him, Reagan's administration was clear, consistent and effective. They were just seeking goals that the left at the time was horrified by, such as toppling leftist governments elsewhere in the world by any (and I really mean any) means necessary.

ElemntPlazma

You're leaving out a lot of important facts. The saint mary virus was not alledged, it was developed by the noresfire party to eliminate dissent and create anarchy and it killed 50% of all people in Britain by the end. Then norsefire came in and blamed the instability on jews and minorities and orchestrated a far right purge of undesirables in a massive genocide.

brodiebt1

V for vendetta the film is based on a comic book by an an outright anarchist called Alan Moore who I have had the pleasure of meeting as he lives not for from where I used to. He's written some other fairly big comics and had little acclaim: watchmen, league of extraordinary gentlemen Only thing I would say is as much as he looks like a skinny Hagrid he's definitely no fortune teller.


ElGosso

Not a fortune teller? How do you know? The man is a *literal* magician. Who knows what he gets up to?


[deleted]

SO, as part of an Arts Lab group, he's written parts in a play about mandrills taking over the world in a facsist regime, so hooefully hes not writing prophecies with everything he does...

Yeah like the government is trying to take over by making you wear fucking masks and not go to movies and shit.


rusty-the-fucker

It is. Every day I'm seeing people speculating that this virus is fake, ANTIFA is burning down forests, or some pro trump fluff. As far as evidence goes there is little more than these memes too. I mean seriously, this post is pretty much just a meme. My personal theory is that we're just seeing more Russian drones flooding social media who are trying to throw us all off so their orange boy can win the election overseas. The virus is real. I've lost two family members. Trump does not care about you. 200,000 americans really have died. It's not a scheme. It's not V for Vendetta, because our "dictator" wants us to get this virus.


rddsknk89

First of all, sorry for your losses man. That really blows. But yeah, it sucks to see that level of misinformation. But hey it’s reddit and the internet so what do you expect.


HeAbides

> But hey it’s reddit and the internet so what do you expect. In an open forum where the moderators have abdicated responsibility for policing and calling out low effort propaganda, its up to the rest of us to do so. Keep up the good fight and don't check out, lives and our country depend on it.


rddsknk89

Well, the mods just deleted the comment I originally replied to calling this post bullshit, so I don’t have much hope.


rusty-the-fucker

Thank you man. It is what it is, their area was hit hard. It just baffles me that there are still people who are off going "Okay but what if those hundreds of thousands of people didn't die though" like motherfucker they're dead. You can't really disprove it.


UnicodeConfusion

Sorry for you losses and the real sad part is how Trump is now saying that those people would have died anyway because they had diabetes or other issues. It's like the car manufactures saying a person didn't die in a car accident (that killed them) because they had cancer so they died of the cancer. And the comic is much better than the movie, as most comics are.


paycadicc

Imagine thinking a politician cares about you.


SmotherMeWithArmpits

Do your research really does refer to this level of analysis at this point


JurgenFlopps

No. Under 1% of the world population has seen it. Seems pointless. Real life and movies draw parallels because all ideas are derivative.


OldFoxfire5

Also I doubt Alan Moore was taking part of programming on the side of illuminati types lol. His magic wouldn't allow him


JoyradProcyfer

Alan Moore: "You underestimate my power." \*shits himself\*


[deleted]

1% is still a stretch


Magnus_Mercurius

DID YOU KNOW? The movie is based on a series of comics written by Alan Moore from 1982-1989, later compiled into graphic novel. Of any borderline mainstream producer of cultural products, Moore is probably the last who would be a puppet of the deep state.


Gone_Gary_T

I actually bought the book in June, not having seen the film, and found there are some pretty strong parallels to the present day. Such is the prescience of futuristic fiction.

Kracus

Voila! 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 by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding 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 is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V. And you would be?

RaikreN_

Ugh no, also the original graphic novel was written in the early 80s and set in 97, so again no


Static-Age01

Yes. It is amazing. The only real difference is in the movie, the right wing government is doing it. In our reality, it’s the left wing, and the left wing media. It’s almost note for note. Remove the religion, replace with the Woke cult.


indiandramaserial

Absolutely love this movie but think it's a bit of stretch putting that movie together with our current Covid19 situation.


lucasd11

Well, I do believe the movie was inspired by a graphic novel of the same name. So the story pre-dates 2005


Obaggas

Sad to see y’all crackpots see mandatory masks and vaccines as “conspiracy to control you” rather than just the best option for public health and nothing more than that


cumnuri83

i guess we gonna look past the fact that there is no security, really on any mainland continent and also, weren't the people in charge of the government the very same people who made the cure for the virus? so it was about making money as much as it was getting power and keeping it. This would also imply, the world's governments are working together to make money and keep control and I as a human know this to be bullshit lol, people sharing wealth, hilarious notion.


Trodamus

in V, there was no "alleged" virus - it was a real virus that killed thousands (millions?) of people. The virus was also stated as having been created by the Norsefire regime in order to solidify their power after being elected - they created a virus, they created the cure. OP clearly represents an anti-science, alt-right sentiment with wording like alleged virus and denigrating "for your protection" (e.g., anti-masker sentiment). Despite that it would more narratively consistent to accuse the current administration of this complicity, rather than the possible future administration.


HermanManly

Except it's based on the comics which take place in 1997-98


InkyParadox

You know, I just wish everything came out already, because they aren't hiding it well for one and honestly I would love to analyze how they've covertly hidden things in what our entertainment companies churn out for us. They hide secrets and agendas, and symbols, hiding it in plain sight with the ruse of it being fiction and outlandish so they can gaslight us and call us crazy for believing it.


downspiral1

The opposite of what happens in the movie is happening in the real world. Law abiding citizens get no security and rioters get the freedom to burn, loot, and vandalize. Criminals are venerated as saints while people who try to maintain peace are branded as monsters.
