V for vendetta, pt 2.

First, I'd like to say that the sparse, almost hazy and indistinct colors used in this book adds to the actual tone/mood of the plot: that is to say, a dark, clandestine, dystopian sort of atmosphere.

The first several pages of the second part were really wierd, but interesting. A prelude to the chapters to come, but in actual musical form as well. I can't really read music. I don't know if this piece was actually used in the movie, but maybe it was.

I think that the graphic novel form does more justice to the theme of the story, in that it delivers elements of the plot more directly and effectively to the reader than the movie. The colors, the use of panels, and the block text (to name a few) all add to the tone of the plot, and besides, since its a vis-a-vis situation (the book and the reader) , the reader will become more engrossed, more invested, more absorbed with the story. Granted, the movie is more realistic, but is that better when dealing with the subject of dystopia? I think if the movie had more noir elements (black and white, maybe), it would have been a bit better. I like it nonetheless, of course.
