The movie was well produced and I think it delivers the intended message within its self-contained universe, but... considering that the entire story is framed in the context of the Gunpowder Plot, from beginning to end, I think that message is muddled when you understand the actual history behind it.

But the movie is about the fact that a man can become an idea, and once an idea, can no longer be a man. V cannot have love, because he has made himself into an idea and that idea is not compatible with the desires he feels in his heart. Just the same, the idea of Guy Fawkes does not require the consent or approval of the man.
