What's really going on
V frames the dance as a small act of defiance: if a revolution can't make room for joy, it isn't worth winning at all. But the charm is also a shield. When Evey asks what he really is, he answers with a Shakespeare quote from Twelfth Night and then adds, "...but it's not me." He is telling her that the man behind the mask is an idea, not a person she can know or love. Across the city, Sutler's broadcast shows the regime doubling down on fear, and Finch's search through the tunnels sets up the countdown. The scene is warm and unsettling at once: the most human moment in the film happens on the eve of the violence.

このシーンについての質問
Why does V ask Evey to dance before the revolution?
V wants one human, joyful moment before the violence starts. His line about a revolution without dancing suggests freedom is meaningless if there is no room for pleasure.
Why won't V show Evey his face?
He tells her the man behind the mask is an idea. Showing his face would turn him into one person she could lose, instead of a symbol that outlives him.
Is V in love with Evey?
The dance is intimate, but V keeps his distance and refuses to be known as a man. The film frames their bond as deep trust rather than a simple romance.
Where does V's line about disguise come from?
It is from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, spoken by Viola as she plans to disguise herself. V uses it to say his mask is a role he deliberately took on.
