Guy Fawkes is a conspiracy, they need to teach the real story to all the primary school kids if you ask me. It's told like a fairly tale, when in reality the government themselves planned it. :P

The night also scares many animals to death, they hear things that loud they literally die of the shock.

You get told the real story as part of the curriculum in Britain nowadays. Basically the government hired people to form a group and plot to kill the king. The reason simply was to make the new Protestant country against unconverted Catholics (the plotters were Catholic's repelling against Protestants). :P

The whole plot was known since the start, Guy Fawkes only became famous because he confessed to the plot (most likely under torture, if you look at his signigture)

It was odd how England became Protestant, Henry 8th wanted a divorce and the country was converted. And the country over the next say 100 years attempted to make Catholics look bad and convert as many threats as possible. (I learnt a lot about this era when I recently studied the plantations of Ireland)

Bonfire night is crazy all you do is throw a dummy person on a fire, if guy fawkes tried to blow up the houses of parliment now he would become a hero.........

Guy Fawkes wasn't even burnt, they attempted to hang him, but before they could do it he jumped off of the gallows and broke his neck.

Bonfire night is a great night for the family, it's just a shame that chavs have taken advantage of it and are using it as an excuse to put fireworks through peoples letterboxes. They're idiots, they don't know how much harm they can cause, and the harm that they do cause they find funny, wankers.

Perfect night to watch V for Vendetta again! :P

So true. People don't realise how dangerous fireworks are.

Indeed, I might have to buy the film, saw it at the cinema and I loved it.

Even that film got how Guy Fawkes died wrong though.

LOL, SPOILERS BE IN THIS POST SO BE WARY

Ahh good film, I think it's even better for Britain's who despise government. Some people as always will think that it's a shame that the film didn't stick entirely to the comic, but i think its good that it has had a slight re-fresh.

Major changes I noticed
Book : Film
[list]
[*]Characters have more depth (background stories explained) : Background stories not really mentioned in same detail
[*]V tortures some of his victims : V just pwns them
[*]Evey tries to sleep with people a few times : Evey doesn't have this attitude
[*]No terrorist attack on school children and water works storyline : Biological attack on mentioned
[*]V has his own Super computer that can control the governments one : V just knows, hacks/vandalises
[*]When V dies Evey imagines taking off his mask and revealing his identity : Evey says at the end he was my father, sister brother you and me and everyone etc
[*]Evey succeeds after V : Unknown assumed she doesn't


Regardless of these changes i still love the film probably more than the graphic novel, and I was very impressed because the film has the same camera shots drawn in the comic.

Amazing and now I'm going to sleep (s)

....If the bloomin' fireworks stop going off

I had fun, watching the bonfire and lots of fireworks at the 'town show' . Didn't go on any rides though because no one would come on with me :( and most the rides were a rip-off.
