39. In 'V For Vendetta' the character V wears a Guy Fawkes mask
because he is lighting fires on Fawkes Night. Fawkes is not a character in the film, his story is not told in the film. The character V does not do any of the things you claim he does, not at all. The character V uses the holiday of bonfires and masks for his own day of action.
If you saw the film, you would know that the film does not depict Guy Fawkes at all. It is a work of futurist fiction, not a piece of history. Gladiator was posing as history, and actually depicted Aurelius, V For Vendetta did not depict any historical figures at all.
