Remember, remember the fifth of November.
I watched V for Vendetta last night at GV Marina. The movie is somewhat thought-provoking and is not essentially an action-packed one where it sets your adrenalin flying sky high. However, there is still some element of gore. There is a lot of conversation and it is the conversations that shape the plot and give this movie its content and deserved recognition.
There is a little V in everyone of us. People should not be afraid of the government. Governments should be afraid of their people. The people of tomorrow are going to be opinionated, more idealistic and more judgmental. Yet the people of tomorrow will still behave like the people of yesteryear in the way they react to their opinions, ideas and judgments. Often times, we hear of people voicing out their unhappiness and dissent towards the government in various places and platforms but never directly to them. It is not a revolt that people should look forward to but rather to cultivate a voice, an objective voice, whereby people will not hesitate to pluck the thorns out from the roses and justify the existence of a government for the people and by the people.
There is a little V in all of us.
