  • Yeah you pick it up fairly quickly if you play any conducted music. Especially because a lot of the gestures make a lot of sense. The beats are a pattern with beats to them and the common signatures you get a feel for. But like it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that if the conductor is doing a rising motion at your section you should be playing louder and if it’s increasingly frantic you should be increasingly loud until the hands either come together in a beat (loud finishing note) or they’re separated in a way that will either signal to hold or to fade, or they’ll just start doing a lowering motion to tell you to start piping down. It’s all meant to be very intuitive









  • V speaks of anarchy as having two roles: destroyer and creator, as he teaches Evey to create and he destroys. Additionally he describes anarchy as the order to be contrasted to the chaos immediately after his destruction of norsefire’s control.

    As for that quote, I’m struggling to find evidence it was in the comic (I never actually watched the movie). The wikiquote for the comic doesn’t have that line, but the one for the movie does, and the comic one instead has a lot of V explaining anarchy to anyone whether or not they’re interested in listening.

    The comic is very explicitly about British anarchism against British fascism, whereas the movie is a lot more about George W Bush, the patriot act, and the left wing opposition to these things in the America of the early and mid 00s

    Kinda, but both are performative maximalism done within a subcultural framework done as both a means to express identity and to have an opportunity to be as flashy and showy as they’d like. The people who go all out for Halloween are a different variant of it.
