Justify to what extent V for Vendetta conforms to Classic Hollywood Narrative.

There are several aspects that are stereotypical of a classic Hollywood narrative. In my opinion, I believe that V for Vendetta does conform to a classic Hollywood narrative to some extent, however it subverts and manipulates this. For example, one of the themes of a classic Hollywood narrative is cause and effect, this is relevant in the film V for Vendetta. The main cause for the film is that V was injured and tested on by the government, this results in V's revenge which is one of the main effects of the film's narrative. Therefore, in this way, the film does conform to a classic Hollywood narrative.

In a classic Hollywood narrative, there is also an aspect of character driven, psychological motivations. This is present in the film V for Vendetta, for example, when V wants satisfaction of vengeance. Because he has been taken advantage of by the government, this is his motivation to the effects of the film, for example, blowing up the Old Bailey, Parliament and overthrowing the government. Another character who incorporates a character driven, psychological motivation into the film is Evie. At the beginning of the film Evie is portrayed as weak, for example when she nearly gets raped by the two policemen. However, other the course of the film, we see Evie's character develop into a strong woman. V helps Evie get rid of her fear and encourage her strength, when he puts her through the torture camp, in his own home. This means that Evie almost has the same psychological motivation as V.

Another theme within a classic Hollywood narrative is opposition and conflict. This is very prominent in the film. There is a lot of opposition and conflict throughout the film, we see this at the beginning of the film, the curfew that the public have to stick by vs. the governments control. 

The film undermines the power and authority of a classic Hollywood narrative, symbolising the message of the film; to not conform to the rules of society
