Hey guys! Just got
done reading V for Vendetta and I really liked it. I haven’t seen the movie in
a really long time, but all I can really remember was being really confused
most of the time. For this reason I liked the novel better, I also liked how
they really got more in depth with the characters it made me feel more
connected to the story and feel the mood better than I did watching the movie.
Other than just
enjoying it more than the movie, it did a great job just as a graphic novel. I
noticed panels were generally constrained and organized like in Maus, but
panels with V were more rhythmic. First of all they give V a few pages where he
just takes up the whole page and his character seems to flow from panel to
panel like on page 183 we start out far and are to the left of him but then it
zooms in on him in a counter clockwise motion until we have a full face. His
panels also seem musical because of the way his speech bubble are more squiggle
and loose. It suggests a sing-songy, whimsical way of speaking. It also helps
to suggest this because he sings and dances a lot and has his piano and
jukebox. There was a lot of sound in the book in general. I really heard the broadcasts
and the people talking over it and it further drew me into the time and place.
Overall great
reading experience I hope everyone enjoyed this weeks read. It really didn’t feel
like an assignment. =]
