In the realm of celluloid, where comic books meet screen,
A tale of V for Vendetta, a story profound and keen.
Moore's graphic novel, a work of art and thought,
Adapted for film, but not without a costly cost.
Critics and enthusiasts, they praised the movie's might,
Social and political, they saw a beacon bright.
A film of influence, a symbol of our time,
Yet, for those who read the source, a different tale in mind.
Moore's masterpiece, a conflict of two extremes,
Totalitarianism's grasp, versus freedom's dreams.
Characters complex, morality in shades of grey,
A story of choices, for the viewer to weigh.
The filmmakers, they played it safe, the golden mean their guide,
A vision of the world, that's hard to reconcile and hide.
Not a parable of the times, but a nostalgic view,
A world that's lost, in the passing of our time's hue.
The futility of the past, a lesson unlearned, it seems,
As freedoms fade, and laws encroach on our dreams.
A story of caution, of warnings unheeded, and lost,
A tale of V for Vendetta, a lesson for the cost.
In the end, the film's message, a lesson left untaught,
As we wear the masks, of conformity and thought.
The lessons of the past, forever lost in our sight,
A tale of V for Vendetta, a cautionary light.
