Visitation of a Verbose Verbiage
I do not know how many of you have seen 'V for Vendetta'. It is a 2006 film with screenplay by the same guys who created 'The Matrix' and it stars Natalie Portman and a masked character. They meet very early in the movie, and he introduces himself to her in these words :
VoilĂ ! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it’s my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.
Whew... ! Needless to say, I was tempted to commit it to memory !
