 You can't believe how good that comment makes me feel!  I went through many frustrating years of slow reading, knowing that I wasn't reading as fast as I could when I was a kid.... Have been working on it for a few months.

Re: A New Book About V
Really? I find that hard to believe! I've seen you and Melinda quoting pages and pages of Shakespearean dialogue at each other from memory (with British accents no less!)
I watched half in slack-jawed amazement and half amused as you two "played the dozens" for several minutes and wondered, How do they do it? It took me a month just to memorize V's introduction speech!

Re: A New Book About V
Oh, *pshaw* memorizing's easy  (it's my stupid human trick - have always had a freakish ability to memorize and retain movie dialogue, i.e.). But my reading speed was extremely slow for a long time - frustrated me no end. I'm gradually improving.
And, interestingly enough, a side effect of learning to play guitar seems to be an increased typing speed!

*nods* I can vouch for that. When ButMad writes on messenger, she's completed five sentences, while I'm still running my finger along the rows looking for the shift key!

Re: A New Book About V
 
Brava, Dr D.
on this point: quote:
MHO, I don’t think that the Guy Fawkes trope makes much sense in the film, but it is a cool stylistic concept. In the GN, V is not a hero. His terrorism is merely a counterpoint to Susan’s (Sutler’s) fascism. The film, though, places V unquestionably into the role of hero, although a deeply flawed one. And Guy Fawkes, although a martyr, was not really a hero.
may I add that Guy is one of a very short list of images that can be read as he-who-we-killed, he-who-we-always-kill; a face that says 'I did not die' at the same time it says 'you can kill me'. Or, as he more elegantly states, victim and villain.
No insurrection without resurrection!
