10 RULES OF CRITICAL LITERACY FOR V FOR VENDETTA


TOPIC

The film focuses on the vengeance or revenge made by V represents the victims of the particular groups which have been tortured to make the experimental product which is a biological weapon towards the government.

CONTENT

The film covers about a mask guy named V seeking for revenge towards the government and the particular group of scientist who run the research to make a biological weapon. He and his other friends have been tortured because they were the experimental product to make a biological weapon. This experiment done by government in charge and Adam Setlor is the high chancellor in the top hierarchy in the government system. His role is anarchy and being demolished by witless dictatorship. He is a narrow-minded and religious person in term of Christian. The group of people who became the victim of the experiment were Homosexual, Muslim and Terrorist. In Bible, it’s wrong to be homosexual because it leads to disease like AIDS. He follows the Bible in and out so that’s why he chose those particular groups to become the victims. So, V is one of the victims and seeking for revenge by killing all the people who involved in the experiment and want to destroy the House of Parliament on the 5th of November.

AUDIENCE

RHETORICAL FUNCTION

The film is designed to inform and educate people

PURPOSE

The film aims to inform and to educate the non-specialist people about V who seeking the vengeance or revenge which represents the victims of the particular groups which have been tortured to make the experimental product which is a biological weapon towards the government.

PERSPECTIVE

The stance taken in the film is to condemn the ruling system in the government of Britain. In 2027, Britain use the totalitarism system and is ruled by the Right-wing, Fascist Norsefire regime. In this society, there is constant surveillance and propaganda, heavy censorship, and most minorities, such as Jews, blacks, Muslims, homosexuals and communists are classified as enemies of the state. In this film, the victims of the experimental products were these minorities. They were assumed as terrorists and enemies in the Britain. In my view the stance taken is really appropriate because we have to condemn the ruling system which is very irrelevant and bias towards the certain particular groups. The stance taken tells us that the producer probably believes that this kind of ruling system was exist in the real world and want to show to the worldwide that we should avoid from this transpire. The implication for understanding this film is that the minorities society was always been teased and not being respected by the majority society.

POSITIONING

The film describes the main cast in this film is V. He is a guy Fawkes-masked vigilante known as “V”. He was characterised as violent guy because he had murdered a lot of people who related to the experiment. However, he had a reason of doing so. He also make a trap to Evey by tortured her in the cell. The police threaten to execute her if she does not give up V’s location. Evey says she rather dies, and escorted out of the prison into V’s lair. She found out that her imprisonment was staged by V, to free her from fear of the fascist government – “Only when you have no fear you are free”. V says to her. It showed that he is violent but he has reason of doing so.

Secondly, Evey, a young girl who work at British Television Network (BTN), is the one who V fallen in love of. He met Evey when he save her life from the bad guys and asked her to accompany him to watch the destruction of the Old Bailey. Since from that moment, Evey always with V.

IMPACT

The effect on people is likely to be about the hot issue in this film which is the ruling system in the Britain government. Because of the bad ruling system, the representative from the public appeared to seek the revenge. V, has the right to seek the revenge because he is one of the victims of the experimental product.

VISUAL LITERACY

The visual aspects of the text are significant because this movie is set in London in a near-future dystopian society. The usage of the symbol of V is very mysterious and eye-catchy. It really can attract the public to know what the meaning behind the symbol is. Besides that, when the public see the main actor wearing mask, they will curious to know the real face of the main actor.
