This movie was a thinkers movie as well as a feelers movie. The whole plot was designed for the ending. The seemingly "bad" script was to show that when "V" has his epiphany and makes his "peace" with himself, that all his past life was just that,, a shallow and meaningless waste of time until he learns what it is that HIS lesson in life was..... which was the realization of how things early on in life can mold and shape a person for good or bad, through their entire life. The second part of his lesson, was that loyalty to an individual (Tommies father), shouldn't have come in conflict with the current members of the "family", but when it did, "V" chose his loyalty to Tommies father over the current mob slime... and it costs him dearly (trying not to be a spoiler here).
"V" went out with honor and dignity. He never betrayed his friend and he had the intelligence for introspect into how he got into this life style in the first place. He understood that a simple choice such as going to the prom instead of running with the guys could have changed his whole life. A very deep movie for the intellectual feeler, but for the topical critic,, a bad one. Which one are you?
