Conflicting Perspectives:
Julius Caesar + V for Vendetta
- JULIUS CAESAR: Individual responses towards the process of searching for the
true and moral leadership thus revealing CP
in what is to be considered an “honest” and “noble” leader
- “Caesar shall go forth” because “Danger knows full well
that Caesar is more dangerous than he”
- “O noble Caesar! ... We will be revenged!”
- Irony of Brutus’ “honourable” decision to conspire against his “good friend”
- “Et tu, Brute!” drives a chaos of emotions
- “For Brutus is an honourable man” questions the reason for this murder
- “not that [he] loved Caesar less but that [he]
loved Rome more” Caesar’s true leadership
ambitions were unrevealed
- “Caesar, now be still: I kill'd not thee with
half so good a will” reveal mixed opinions
- challenges the values of leadership through the meaning of
nobility and honour, which comes to a crux at Caesar’s death
- “Caesar shall go forth” because “Danger knows full well
that Caesar is more dangerous than he”
- JULIUS CAESAR: Vs can influence their p on soc. as well as - instilled familial upbringings of
abiding by the republic government
- third person, “Than that poor Brutus with himself at war”
- envisions Caesar metaphorically ascending upon ‘ambitions
ladder’ symbolic of his concern with JC'
- Conversely, Brutus holds ‘no personal cause to
spurn at him’, personal reluctance
- anchor statement for his future actions; “I slew by my best lover for the good of Rome, I have the same
dagger for myself when it shall please my country to need my death” foreshadowing
- ghost of Caesar becomes a spiritual omen
- Even Antony regards Brutus as “a man”, “the noblest Roman of them all”
- third person, “Than that poor Brutus with himself at war”
- V FOR VENDETTA: Diverging values moral leadership
- surfaces F vs. A with an underlying discussion
- shadowed c-u introducing V - secretive figure; his following
l.shot - his wide steady stance presents him as a typical hero
- mysterious saviour that “means [her] no harm” vs. his
controversial mocking act -“Old Bailey”
- settled in his contrasting view which “Violence can be used for good… justice”
- morals being enforced on “all the televisions in London” ... fostering a sense of irony to
21th century sensitive topics of “immigrants, Muslims, homosexuals” and “terrorists”
- Government “promised order” and “peace” he “demanded in return your
silent, obedient consent” restricting individuality and originality
- dark room - (similar to Caesar), a sense of
open-ended mystery about his leadership intentions
- surfaces F vs. A with an underlying discussion
- V FOR VENDETTA:V’s traumatic past, which ignites his raging
ambition to overrule the current dictatorship
- labelled a “terrorist” and personal aversion against the government his deep
passion for justice - revolutionary freedom fighter
- empowering final scene with a wide, overlooking panning shot of
London flooded with people dressed in V’s attire
- magnificent victory is “never to be forgot” - his destructive plan
throughout the film challenge the audience’s p
- murders of the government officials, political dissidence and the destruction of parliament
- torturous experience in which Evey (whom he cares for) suffers despite being for her own good
- his intentions (similarly to Brutus) are questionable
- questioned through conflicting arguments to challenge the audience
to reconsider their values of typical leaders
- labelled a “terrorist” and personal aversion against the government his deep
passion for justice - revolutionary freedom fighter
