In class we were watching the movie "V for Vendetta". This movie was fun to watch but has lessons and interesting themes to it. In the movie (which takes place in britan), most of the world has gone into chaos and the country decides that they need to take action and become a dictatorship to keep their country under control. Most people just ignore the fact that the government is abusing their power, but others take action which usually happens with most dictatorhsips.
In this movie it is easy to tell that there is a lack of human rights and personal freedom. The government is controling the people and abusing their power by setting curfews and raiding peoples houses and putting them in black bags whenever they do something or say something that the dictator doesn't like. Also when Evey is out past curfew random strangers come and try to assault her, it seems as though they are working for the government secretly even though they don't look like it.
As well you see how V takes measures to fight back against the government. Since protesting against the government would probably get you dragged away to prison or killed, someone had to fight against them a different way. V decides to fight them literally and to use explosives to get the message out to the government that they can't always be in control of everything. The government always tried to cover up the truth and make things seem better than they really were. These kinds of governments and protesters still exist today, lets just hope things don't get as bad in the world as they did in the movie.
