<p dir="auto">I mean I know he wasn't Edmond Dantes or Eveys father So who was he? I would like to have seen his face (even though it was probably only burnt skin) and I would also have liked to knonw his real name and where he came from But I guess it's all part of the message that movie wants to transmit to the viewers.<br />
I also didn't understand why did he go to all this trouble? Was it really to avenge Valerires death? This part I might not have understood it because of my sister and her silly little questions about the phone that she wants to buy Anyway if someone could give some answers that'd be great. I'm more interested in getting answers for the last set  of question by the way.</p>

<p dir="auto">The big point about V being a mystery, even in the comic, was that he was meant to represent the individual, the one who struggled for their goals, like Edmond Dantes or Evey's father, or Dietrich, or the girl who got shot, or anybody.<br />
V is basically a metaphor for the common man, the every man who wants to do good but doesn't know how, just articulating himself in a forwards direction. The entire purpose of V is that he is nobody, could be anybody, and as such represents everybody.</p>

Well, to be perfectly honest, I dont think Asians overall are racist, I truly dont. But, I do think that from my personal experience and a lot of other blacks in the Los Angeles area, Koreans are probably the most racist and intolerant of black people. Ive witnessed it at work and away from work.<br />
I have friends that work in China, Japan and South Korea. South Korea is the worst. The friends in South Korea say the ignorance is appalling of how much they dont know about black people in general, and Africa in particular. Keep in mind, were not talking about a third world country here. They idolize and worship whites and generally tend to treat any black or brown person like crap, even darker Southeast Asians. Plastic surgery is CRAZY there in the pursuit of the aquiline Caucasian nose (which is very evident when comparing the singers/actors/models to everyday people walking down the street who cant afford plastic surgery). My friends tell me that in Korea they believe to be American is to be white. WTF? The most diverse country in the world and you think you cant be American unless youre white? This is not normal nor intelligent thinking. lol<br />
For an excuse of their racism and intolerance, Koreans here want to yell about the Watts riots. They conveniently omit the incident that many believe led up to the riots (how a Korean shopkeeper shot a 14 year old black girl in the back of the head because she THOUGHT she was stealing a bottle of orange juice and, ONLY got probation and community service!), but love to use it as an excuse. How rude and indignant they are to blacks who come into their stores in predominantly black areas, following them around and speaking harshly to them. I dont get why blacks patronize these stores, OR why the Koreans move into areas and open a business around people they obviously have contempt for. Ask any black woman in a mostly black area who goes into a beauty supply store for black hair products, whos behind the counter and is the proprietor a Korean. If they have so much disgust towards us, why are they still in our communities?<br />
I listen to things my friends tell me and I am speechless at times and, that doesnt happen very often! Compared to a country like Japan, South Korea is light years behind as far as understanding and getting along with people of color and when they come here, they bring that same BS attitude. The pathetic part is how they imitate our style and dance in hip hop and R&amp;B and yet are racist  what sense does that make? Well, racism itself doesnt make sense so that was a stupid question. One friend told me that when she gets fed up with Korea, she takes the ferry to Fukuoka, Japan and feels like a human being again. But, as soon as she gets back on the ferry to return to Busan, the points, stares and rude comments begin.<br />
The really funny thing is, I have heard just as many rude, racist, insensitive things said by whites about Asians as are said about us. I dont play that bull about whites commenting to me about other people of color because if they talk about them, theyll talk about ME! I dont understand, I really dont.<br />

It's only half true, I think.<br />
You don't want to think of it as Koreans being 'racist.'<br />
Rather I recommend you think of it as Koreans just being plain azzholes.<br />
Koreans and their insecurity often lead them criticizing others that don't fit their narrow standards.<br />
(Anyone who visited Korea for sometime would know, no matter what age, class, or sexual group that one belongs to, Koreans are very insecure.)<br />
Koreans discriminate big time, but it's not because of their racist agenda, it's because they don't know any better. I don't know which is worse, but at least one can still fill up the glass when it is only a half full.<br />
Think of rednecks believing President Obama an Arab, or junior high teenagers making fun of one kid for wearing a goofy looking hat. That's about the degree of racism existing in Korea. It's very primitive, and simple.<br />

So here's another vaguely race-baiting essay that I had to write.<br />
I'm really, really fed up with the Koreans I've met in Beijing. Mind you, this has nothing to do with any Korean-Americans I know or any Koreans living in Korea. But there are essentially two groups of Koreans that I have met in Beijing, and while at first I didn't even seem to have any particular feelings about them, now when I see a 20-something Korean female or a 30-something male, I feel a lingering nausea.<br />
The 20-something Korean females would describe 11 of 13 of my classmates this spring semester (the other two were Japanese females). They, like every Korean female teen out of Seoul, dresses th</p>

<p dir="auto">I think he had both personal reason and political reason for the action he did. As you saw yourself he killed all the persons that caused him all the harm at Larkwille (think that was the name). He killed them for all the harm they had put up on him. But I also think he wanted a change since he killed all the person's that were in charge of the dictator (tyranni) government. I guess by blowing up all these buildings made people open their eyes and actually make actions for changing the corrupt system which existed until he arrived.<br />
But the question whom he was is actually very good question. Even I couldn't figure that out. I think the reason for V weren't identified is because he should instead be described as someone with hope for change. As the Evans herself said in the end, V is everyone in the society. Indirectly she means he is the one with the hope and changes the people yearn and wished for. That's how I understood it and I also think this is the reason his identification weren't known for us.</p>
