I really liked the movie. I've heard this movie called unrealistic by some. I'm not sure I understand that viewpoint considering that this could have almost happened. What would have happened if Nazi Germany had won the war. I don't think that a totalitarian government such as the one represented in the movie is all that crazy. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying everything about this movie is realistic, but the main idea ... the main message is importantly real. We shouldn't forget the past so easily that we completely dismiss this movie. Although, I haven't heard that on this thread so that's good.

I know she runs away to her boss's house afterwards but I dont know what part of that was V's idea and what wasn't? Therefore, how could he trust her afterwards?
Spoiler: As for when Evie was with the bishop, I take it that all of that was geniune on her part, she really wanted out and away from V. She didn't want to be a prisoner to him. In fact, I believe that was why she came to V in the first place to volunteer to "help" him. As for how he could trust her afterwards, I don't know for sure, but capturing her and torturing her and putting her through all that shit seemed to do the trick nicely.
