V for Vendetta Intro

In the film V for Vendetta the power of the mask is used to a great extent. When someone sees a mask it is sometimes hard for people to look beyond the simple answer, to hide their identity. However, a mask can also be used to signify something great than the person behind it. V wears a mask to hide his identity, and also to state that he stands for something greater than himself, and through this process his identity became that of the mask.
