Description Guy Fawkes V for Vendetta Mask
As a politically interested geek, you are surely familiar with Guy Fawkes: On November 5, 1605, he attempted to carry out an assassination attempt on the English Parliament and the King with the help of several tons of explosives. Although it remained an attempt since he was betrayed and executed, this does not diminish his fame.
In 1982, the comic V for Vendetta by Alan Moore was published, which was also made into a film in 2006. In it, the hero V, who tries to overthrow the fictional fascist government of England, wears a Guy Fawkes mask. Unlike Guy, V is successful in the end.
In real life, the Guy Fawkes V for Vendetta Mask was mainly used by the hacker movement Anonymous. Its followers wore the mask during their action against Scientology, among other occasions. It was also used on countless other occasions, such as in 2010 during the protests against the arrest of Wikileaks chief Julian Assange. The Occupy Wall Street movement also uses the famous visage of Guy Fawkes.
The face of Guy Fawkes has thus become a symbol of the fight against an outdated and above all unjust system.
Get yourself the Guy Fawkes V for Vendetta Mask if you are a revolutionary, politically interested, or simply a fan of the movie.
