Guy Fawkes Night - For fans of the movie, V for Vendetta

[Jeff_T]

I grew up with Guy Fawkes night never really knowing the gruesome story behind it, I also saw the movie but don't remeber too much about it talking of which there is a poem about the event

Remember, remember! The Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and plot;
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot!
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, 'twas his intent
To blow up the King and Parli'ment.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England's overthrow;
By God's providence he was catch'd
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holla boys, Holla boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
And what should we do with him? Burn him!

V for Vendetta was one of those movies I didn't originally find interesting when it first came out, despite having seen the trailer and knowing that Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman were in it. It was the cult following online that drew me to see it. I went through a similar experience with Office Space and The Fifth Element.
