The movie "V For Vendetta" is an action movie that came out in 2006. It takes place in a futuristic landscape and depicts a totalitarian Britain. It follows the story of a young woman named Evey who got rescued by a vigilante known only as "V."

V urges his fellow citizens to rise up against the tyranny and oppression that they all face. V wishes to bring freedom and justice back to a society that has only known cruelty and corruption. Looking at this some may see parallels found throughout history. Here are ten truths found in "V For Vendetta."

1. "We are told to remember the idea, 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 change the world."

If that isn't true I don't know what is. Most people remember the thoughts and actions but not always the people who delivered them.

2. "Since mankind's dawn, a handful of oppressors have accepted the responsibility over our lives that we should have accepted for ourselves. By doing so, they took our power. By doing nothing, we gave it away."

Throughout time we, a society, have always had to deal with oppression in some way. Whether it be because of gender, race, religion, etc. we have seen what it can do. We need to stop letting them do this to us because V is right, if we do nothing then nothing will change.

3. "Ideas are bulletproof."

If you spread your ideas, your thoughts, your beliefs, they will never truly be destroyed because they will have been heard and witnessed by others who can do the same as you.

4. But again, truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty you need only look into a mirror."

We are all guilty of something, that is a fact. We have all done something that we are not proud of and we are all guilty for how society is today. Our elders shaped our civilization into what it is today and it is up to us to change it for the better.

5. "Our integrity sells for so little, but it is all we really have. It is the very last inch of us. But within that inch we are free."

I think that one speaks for itself. In the end, all we have is our morals and character. Without them we are nothing.

6. "Is it meaningless to apologize?" "Never."

No matter what the situation, if you did wrong or hurt someone, the only way to begin to make amends is to apologize. Even if it seems meaningless to you, it could be everything to them.

7. "People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people."

The people have the power to create change. We can make waves in ways that no one else can. It is up to us to shape our society into what we want and need it to be. With our voice we can do anything.

8. "When injustice becomes law rebellion becomes duty."

You must do whatever is necessary to make justice possible, even if it means rebelling a little bit because in the long run you will be making life better for those unable to stand up for themselves.

9. "It costs nothing to speak out, but remaining silent could cost everything."

We were given the gift of free speech, if we don't use it then nothing will be done and things will get worse than they are. If you don't speak up about what is wrong with society then nothing will ever change.

10. "Artists use lies to tell the truth, while politicians use them to cover up the truth."

There is a reason that everyone calls politicians liars, it's because they are. They hide the truth from us so that we stay ignorant of what is truly going on. Today the use of fake news helps keep the truth hidden under the agenda's and lies of the government and it needs to be stopped.
