So here it begins, the first post of what I hope to be an awesome blog. To start off i simply wish to bring up one of my favorite movies which is “V for Vendetta”. A story of the overthrow of an overpowered and corrupt government. The reason I bring it up is because of the basis of this Accomplishment. Guy Fawkes, the leader of the entire ordeal wears a mask. This mask in which he lives due to the horrible scars as the result of a horrendous fire that burned every inch of his body. The mask he uses to hide himself, to afraid to show the world of the monster that lies beneath, but he comes to find a new power with this mask. No longer afraid of the release of his identity he has no fear to speak his mind. No longer afraid to say what needs to be said, but no one dares say. Through this new found “power” he begins the uprising issuing a challenge to the world after breaking into the nation emergency broadcasting network. His challenge, that in one year on the fateful day of the 5th of November, they join together and ensure justice on the people whose job it was to keep it, but failed to do so. The power of the mask is shared with the world by the surprise arrival of a Guy Fawkes disguise to every man, women, and child in the country. From who they came from is a mystery but with the ability of anonymity, chaos breaks out in the streets. People no longer feared the world, they no longer feared each other and there ideas and thought were displayed without censorship for the first time ever in there lives.
The idea of these writers aliases allows for speaker freedom, express your feeling, emotion, and ideas with out the fear of being judged or despised. This freedom has always been ours, but our fear has kept us from truly using it to its full potential. My only wish is to utilize it, and i challenge you to do the same.
Well said. Great connection to the movie (I've never seen it). It's crazy how hiding behind a mask can give us such power.
