"V for Vendetta" depicts a totalitarian government in England. In a society where curfews are enforced and the government is responsible for the death of thousands of their own citizens. "Traitors" disappear in the night, never to be seen or heard from by family again. Life is directed by fear, and no one seems to do anything about it, except one. A rouge terrorist named V, attempts to awaken the English citizens and bring down the terrorizing government. With the assistance of a common girl named Evie, V carries out his plans for revenge and justice and hopefully restore the ideas that promote democracy.

The theme of an oppressive leader is shown in both movies, as well as a seemingly ridiculous character offering an answer who proves himself by the end of the movie.
The movie Boondock saints and V for vendetta are practically one in the same. Both are about vigilantes who are seeking change in the world through the work of another "higher" power. To rid the world of evil and almost restore it to the way it should be.

Great flick, so many parallels between Nazism and their government. Really fascinating.
V for vendetta and Hotel Rwanda have a common theme of political uprising. The outcomes of both are very different as well as the means to which the uprisers go about getting results. They both have strong convictions and use civil disobediance to try and change political culture in their culture.
