a film (made in 2005) set in UK in the year 2020. The story of where a tyrannical government imposes restrictions on people's living following the outbreak of a virus 😷 ending in defiance by the people...... 😬 #VforVendetta pic.twitter.com/jQPt4E3uNH
The film is set in a world of turmoil and the USA is no longer a superpower due to its second civil war. A pandemic named 'St Mary's Virus' has also eloped over the world. Fans of the film pointed out that it is eerily similar to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the face of fascism being showcased upfront by world leaders.
