V's Opening Monologue, Explained：in the name of
V's voiceover insists that "an idea can still change the world," yet he admits he misses not the idea but the man. Across town, Lewis Prothero whips up a TV audience with the same rhetoric of faith and judgment, and the Fingermen hunt anyone caught after curfew.
あらすじ
The film opens with V's voiceover over a masked figure: a man, he says, can be caught, killed and forgotten, but an idea cannot. At the BTN studio, broadcaster Lewis Prothero rants about America and whips up his audience. Later that night, Evey is stopped past curfew by the Fingermen — and V arrives to cut them down.

What's really going on
The scene sets up the film's central argument: an idea is dangerous because it cannot be arrested, but it is also incomplete because it cannot be loved or hurt. V says as much when he insists "it is not an idea that I miss. It is a man." Prothero shows the same mechanism from the other side: he wraps hate in the language of faith — "Strength through unity. Unity through faith" — and the crowd cheers. The curfew announcement right after makes the connection plain: state violence and broadcast rhetoric run on the same schedule. When the Fingermen decide to beat Evey because "she just threatened us," they are performing the regime's logic of judgment in miniature. V's rescue is not just heroism; it is the idea meeting a body that can still act.
Theme
PhilosophyV argues that ideas outlive the men who carry them, yet admits it is the man he misses.
PowerProthero's broadcast and the curfew show the regime pairing propaganda with force to keep control.

But who was he really?The narrator turns from the public legend to the private man, setting up the film's question of who V actually is.
He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten.A man is mortal and erasable; this is why the powerful prefer to fight a person rather than an idea.
Ideas do not bleed. They do not feel pain.An idea cannot be hurt or destroyed, which makes it unstoppable — but also unable to love or be loved.
No one escapes their past. No one escapes Judgment.Prothero frames the regime's violence as divine punishment, claiming the past always catches up with the guilty.
We did what we had to do.The regime's excuse for its crimes: necessity. It is the same logic the Fingermen use to justify beating Evey.
このシーンについての質問
Why does V say he misses the man, not the idea?
He is telling Evey that ideas are powerful but impersonal; the person behind them still matters to him, which hints the masked figure has a personal history.
What does "bollocks" mean when the Fingerman says it?
It is British slang for nonsense or rubbish; he is dismissing Evey's story about her sick uncle.
Who is Lewis Prothero and why is he on TV?
He is the regime's loudest broadcaster, using his show to blame America for the world's collapse and to whip up patriotic anger in support of the government.
Why do the Fingermen attack Evey?
She is out after curfew and, when they corner her, she threatens them. Under the regime's rules that lets them act as judge and punish her on the spot.
Is V a hero or a terrorist in this scene?
The film leaves it open: he kills the Fingermen who were about to hurt Evey, but he does it masked, quoting Macbeth, as an act of his own design.
