A Little Insight

When I saw V for Vendetta, what impressed me the most was Hugo Weaving's portrayal of V. I was hooked after I heard his first line. Maybe this quote will give you some insight as to why.

"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is the vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."

Can you imagine the type of skill it would require to deliver a line like that perfectly and make it look effortless? And no, I haven't memorized this. I thank the genius of the IMDb for providing me with the exact phrasing.
