Vʻing It Like Vendetta?

What up, mouth readers? Me and my big mouth are back again with second thoughts for the novel. By "second" I mean "after first" not "doubtful" since it is my second post under this section. I guess thatʻs too much explanation for clever wordplay...

I had an 11-hour 35-minute flight to San Francisco for urgent family matters there. It has been close to five years since I went to America; let alone ride a plane. I noticed that each seat in the economy class now has its own LCD, with a set of movies, TV shows, and games. WOW! Flights of fancy indeed!

I was glad that I saw "V for Vendetta" there! I heard it was a pretty awesome movie. November 5 in 9gag and all that. I decided to give it a generous two-hour gander and the movie really got to me...


Not that I have a Guy Fawkes mask-wearing vindicator with inhuman strength and immoral numbness seeking vengeance for a totalitarian government who scared its people to silent submission... Rather, itʻs the the idea of chaos and anarchy like that first introduced to me by Heath Ledgerʻs Joker.

Just imagine a V whose weapon is music, along with five people who share the same passion in different forms. This man Iʻm planning would have gone through the same degree of emotional and physical torment... only through his eyes. This man isnʻt seeking vengeance but is merely sharing his "talent." Okay, things always get interesting if the protagonist is crazy and takes drugs... whoops, I said too much.

Oh yeah, why Blue Hour? I donʻt know either... But it has something to do with the fact that itʻs neither day or night and the protagonist is neither good nor bad. Itʻs a harmony of both to create the perfect blue... something beautiful. But remember, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.

P.S. The protagonist is also the antagonist.
