V FOR VENDETTA

Talking about a speech... not only kings, politicians or actors are the ones who can deliver a moving speech.
In this case it's an anarchist revolutionary, dressed in black and wearing a Guy Fawkes mask, trying to convice people to rule themselves and bring down the government.

You should listen carefully to what he says, maybe there are some similarities with the world wide revolution we're witnessing these days.

There are certain things, though, that you should know about. Read these questions and answer them before you watch the videoclip.

1- Who was Guy Fawkes?
2- "Remember, remember, the fifth of November..." What happened on 5th November 1605 ?
3- How do people celebrate that day in the UK?
4- Who says "a penny for the guy"?
