"We are told to remember the idea and not the man. Because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten. But 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I have witnessed firsthand the power of ideas. I've seen people kill in the name of them. But you cannot kiss an idea... cannot touch it or hold it.
Ideas do not bleed. They do not feel pain. They do not love. And it is not an idea that I miss. It is a man.
A man that made me remember the 5th of November. A man that I will never forget.”

as always, the dystopia doesn't seem dystopian here. that aside, i like the way it explores anarchism through v & evey's mentor-mentee relationship and i like their differences in opinion & approach.

i wouldn't say that i get all of it. it took alan moore 8 years to write this. i can't say i can fathom it all in less than 3 hours.

الن مور قطعا جز بهترین کمیک نویسهای دنیاست
با خواندن وی فور وندتا و شوخی مرگبار راحت میشه اینو فهمید
همش باید جمله ی کلیشه ای "با اینکه فیلم خیلی خوبه، ولی کمیک و کتاب بهتره" استفاده کرد
قسمتهایی از فیلم زیادی مصنوعی ساخته شده و انگار دنیای واقعی نیست ولی توی کمیک محیط وحشت آوری که حکومت ساخته رو میشه کاملا حس کرد اما از بازی خارق العاده ی هوگو ویوینگ نباید گذشت، بسیار عالی نقش وی رو اجرا کرد
وجود چنین نمادهایی مثل وی برای به وجود آمدن یک انقلاب الزامی نیستند ولی رهبری می کنن و راه رو باز میکنن و مسیر رو نشون میدن
با این حال یه انقلاب بدون رهبر خیلی بهتر از اینه که یه رهبر بد اون رو پیش ببره

تنها آزادی که در اختیار مردم من است، آزادی برای گرسنگی کشیدن است، آزادی برای مردن، آزادی برای زندگی در دنیایی آشوب زده

از فربد آذسن هم بابت ترجمه ی عالیش تشکر میشه

This was the first graphic novel that I ever read in my book club... and it made quite an impression. There are many differences from the movie, but I found it more thought provoking. The book encourages reflection upon the state of society, government, and individuality. I would highly recommend reading it at least once.
