Re: MC's Face *possible V for Vendetta spoilers*

In Response To: MC's Face *possible V for Vendetta spoilers* (Ibeechu) : I saw V for Vendetta with my old lady (girlfriend, not grandmother) when it : was first released in March. From the trailers, it looked like an ordinary : cliche action flick. But my girl wanted to see it and, like all movies she : wants to see that I think look stupid, I checked it out on IMDb to see : it's rating and good user reviews to psyche myself out and convince myself : that it will be worth watching. When I got to V for Vendetta's page, I saw : that it was written by the Wachowski's and that Hugo Weaving was in it. : Then I saw that it was already on the top 250 list. This was enough for : me. I eagerly went to the theatre and saw it. I love every moment of it, : especially the end which brought a tear to my eye because I have the same : beliefs as the main character, that people should not be afraid of the : government; government should be afraid of the people. : So what does this have to do with the Halo movie? Nothing really, I just : wanted to say how much I adore the film, which brings me to my real point. : I rented this movie the other night and watched it just moments ago. The : point that V doesn't remove his mask (or you don't see his face, rather) : through the entire movie reminded me a lot of the Master Chief. In the : movie, when V says to Evey: "Evey, please. . .there is a face beneath : this mask, but it's not me. I'm no more that face than I am the muscles : beneath it, or the bones beneath them." That reminded me of the : Master Chief and his mask. In the Halo movie, showing his face will : destroy the point of the character. The point is not what he looks like, : but what he does. Showing his face could distract the audience from what : is really important-his actions, not his facial features. : At the end *spoiler warning?* Evey mentions that V was all of us. I think : that's how Bungie wants us to feel about the Master Chief as well. V's : character was that while he may have been a man, he was not just a man . : He represented all of our beliefs and if his face were shown, it would've : ruined that. We would then associate V with a face, not an idea, which was : what really mattered. I think the same goes for the Chief. He represents : all of us, and Bungie (I hope) wants to keep it that way. Were they to : show his face, we would then associate this character that we all feel a : part of with exactly that: a face. The face isn't what matters: it's the : ideas and actions of the character wearing that face that matter. : So what is the real point of this post? Do I even have one? I guess you could : say that the point behind this post is to just share my feelings on the : whole "zomg show teh master chefs face!!!!1" issue. Now that I : have my point across, I'd like to know yours on the issue. Should MC's : face be shown in the movie? Or at any point in time for that matter? Why : or why not? I agree. I think that they should just have someone act it out and have Steve Downes do the voice. Although, if the movie is Fall of Reach+halo1, I wouldn't mind seeing child chief. teen chief would be alright I guess...
