5th. of November

"Remember, remember, the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot...
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot...

But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I've witnessed first hand the power of ideas, I've seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them... but you cannot kiss an idea, cannot touch it, or hold it... ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love... And it is not an idea that I miss, it is a man... A man that made me remember the Fifth of November. A man that I will never forget."

Así es mis lectores, hoy es 5 de noviembre, saben, está seria la fecha ideal para reestrenar V for Vendetta. Si no la han visto, veanla, es una muy buena producción de los ya conocidos hermanos Wachowski y también con Hugo Weaving, que quizá no lo ubiquen, pero es el agente Smith o también Elrond.

¿Por qué pongo este tema?¿Qué me pico? Pues es un homenaje a las ideas, ideas que deben de permanecer hasta el fin. Hay que defenderlas a capa y espada. Y precisamente esta película habla de esas ideas "locas" que triunfan en una sociedad decadente.

Arriba y adelante!!!
