Mais um dos meus diálogos preferidos

Apresentação de V a Evey - V de Vingança


V: [Evey pulls out her mace] I can assure you I mean you no harm.

Evey Hammond: Who are you?

V: Who? Who is but the form following the function of what and what I am is a man in a mask.

Evey Hammond: Well I can see that.

V: Of course you can. I'm not questioning your powers of observation I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is.

Evey Hammond: Oh. Right.

V: But on this most auspicious of nights, permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace sobriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona.

V: Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

[carves V into poster on wall]

V: The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.

[giggles]

V: Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

Evey Hammond: Are you like a crazy person?

V: I am quite sure they will say so. But to whom, might I ask, am I speaking with?

Evey Hammond: I'm Evey.

V: Evey? E-V. Of course you are.

Evey Hammond: What does that mean?

V: It means that I, like God, do not play with dice and I don't believe in coincidences.



Esse foi o tipo de filme que me impressionou do início ao fim. Lembro que ao sair do cinema fiquei pensando longamente a respeito, a mensagem que a história passava, a atuação excelente dos atores (Natalie Portman arrasando como sempre), qual seria a opinião das pessoas sobre, e tudo o mais. Só lamento nunca ter lido os quadrinhos.
E pensar que nesse dia só assisti ao filme porque perdi a sessão do outro que tinha a intenção de ver - e hoje nem lembro qual era, mas quem se importa? -, minha falta de pontualidade pode ter lá sua utilidade, afinal de contas.

Um comentário:

Liam disse...

Divertido esse diálogo mesmo. A melhor parte é o final, V: Evey? E-V. Of course you are. Genial huahuauhhua
