Not all terrorists are alike. I would suggest you read some history about the treatment of Roman Catholics in England during this period, and then try telling me Fawkes & bin Laden were the same.

Like Catholics didn't treat non Catholics harshly? Henry VIII's daughter was known as who again? Oh yeah Bloody Mary

Agreed. The people revolting were total lowlifes. Kind of ironic given demographic projections how something like this will likely occur in Europe sometime this century.

V was fighting against a fascist state, a country where no one has any freedoms, not political, cultural or religious, when your leaders treat you like that you have the right to rise up and destroy them, though usually what replaces them is not much better.
It is a pity that Germany in the 1930's did not have a "V" of it's own, likewise Russia in just about any part of it's history.
Remember, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

Well put, SamuelSpade, well put.

Violent resistance to occupation =/= terrorism
HUGE difference between the two, I suggest you read some more before you take such an offended stance.

People must absolutely fight against oppression. The governments of fascist dictatorships do not deserve respect or obedience. Think of North Korea or Nazi Germany. Would you condemn violent resistance by the people in those states?

Ah good beep You ignorant, uneducated wretch. Have a look at a book sometime and see how Catholics were treated on those islands at the time. You absolute cretin.

No, it glorifies revolution against those who oppress.

It glorifies revolution, free thought and the idea that government should work for and with the people.
Strangely enough the use of the Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot in the film creates a bit of a contradiction since the Gunpowder Plot was meant to remove the repressive Protestant aristocracy and replace it with another repressive institution, the Catholic Church.
I guess it was used for the whole "fighting for what you believe is right" idea.
