The video serves both as a critique and a comedic commentary on various plot points, characters, and logical inconsistencies within the narrative of "V For Vendetta." The video kicks off with a nod to the iconic phrase "Remember, remember, the 5th of November," humorously establishing its theme as it delves into the film's portrayal of a dystopian society under oppressive rule. Key criticisms include the film's opening scene, where inaccuracies are pointed out, such as the American actress attempting a British accent, which triggers a comparison to various films that don't quite hit the mark.

Key Highlights and Analysis​

1. Coincidences Galore: One of the driving forces in the commentary is the multitude of coincidences that drive the plot forward. For instance, the way the protagonists' fates intertwine seems forced at times, leading the narrator to question the plausibility of the events.
2. Character Motivations: The duality of V as both a hero and a villain is explored, with a particular focus on his seemingly selfish motives contrasted against the film's revolutionary ideals. This provides an intriguing discussion point regarding the romanticization of vigilante justice.
3. Social Commentary: Several jabs are made at the broader implications of the film's themes, with irony emphasized through the absurdities of the characters' situations. The narrative challenges societal norms, which is both praised and critiqued throughout the video.
4. Visual and Contextual Humor: The use of visual gags and clever editing highlights the absurdities in the film, such as V’s odd abilities and the setting's over-the-top aspects. This banter invites viewers to reconsider their initial perceptions of the movie.
5. Depiction of Authority: The portrayal of law enforcement and government agencies is found lacking realism, adding to the film’s moments of satire. Comments on the characters’ actions — like the incompetence of authority figures — serve to heighten the comic angle of the critique.
