Vendetta Clues
I have been reading the V comic in an attempt to better understand the film. While it is mostly similar to the film the comic does not mention the Quran at all, so it seems that the story in both cases has some other base philosophy behind it. In the comic there are other references that do not appear in the film however. Enid Blyton's The Magic Faraway Tree is the source of the Land Of Do As You Please reference and there is another in the comic: The Land Of Take What You Want. These are both used as philosophical views of the world today. The other reference is for another book:
UPDATE: I got a copy of the book and found no referential material in it. I can only conclude that the names of the lands are just suitable to the political motivations of V For Vendetta. |
