"How she gets there is a tad disturbing" LOL Actually I found V's manipulation to be unforgiveably brutal, but of course he wasn't expecting to be forgiven, he expected her to be transformed into a different person, and she was. In a way that made her a metaphor for what was going to happen to the city/country: brutalized by the terrorist, and transformed. Your comparing V to the dictator is excellent, because he is just as arrogantly pushing forth his own agenda.... Except of course the dictator was never going to stop, and V intended to die and hope that life would improve. That Evie would build a happier life for herself.
I haven't rewatched the film since I first saw it in the theater, it was disturbing and intense, but the most direct political satire I've seen in decades (everyone is so afraid to offend now days, even Michael Moore doesn't really push the envelop, not like this film).
