V for Vendetta

The movie is based in the future. The government has obvious control over all the civilians in London. There are cameras and speakers on the streets of the city. The government uses a totalitarian type of government. One man is in control of all the people, the Chancellor. The main character, V, has vengeance on his mind when he first meets Evey. He has a clear view of what the government is actually doing to all the citizens in Britain. After V saves Evey from a rape, he tells her his plan. His plan is to put a stop to the corrupt government, which they are under control.
To start his rebellion, V blows up the Old Bailey Courtroom. He plays music over the speakers on the street to grab the attention of the citizens, as they have never heard music over the speakers, only directions from the government. V shows Evey everything from the top of a building overlooking the courtroom. The next day the government has Evey on their radar and the Chancellor is urging to find V.
While Evey is at her job at BTN, (British Television Network) the cops come in and try to catch her. Meanwhile, V is taking over the television station to voice his plan to all the citizens. The televisions in the country apparently only have one station, which is controlled by the government. The government uses this as a way to manipulate the population into thinking whatever they want them to think. After V takes over the television station he broadcasts a film of himself explaining his plan. He then asks everyone to join him in one year to overthrow the government. V escapes the building after Evey takes a risk to save him from the policeman. Evey is hit in the head during the process and V makes the decision to bring her with him. The movie covers the year in which he started the rebellion.
When Evey wakes up she is in the home of V. She notices he has extreme burns on his hands as he cooks her breakfast
