This movie uses the letter "V" and the number five as a motif, to highlight how V has become a concept: V's introductory monologue to Evey begins and ends with "V", has five sentences, and contains forty-nine words that begin with "V". V notes that Evey's name is special, pronouncing it as "E-V". E is the fifth letter of the alphabet and V is Latin for five (V is also the fifth letter from the end of the alphabet). V is held in Larkhill cell number "V" (Latin for five). The phrase on V's mirror reads: "Vi Veri Vniversum Vivus Vici" ("By the power of truth, I, a living man, have conquered the universe"). The scar on Evey's forehead is in the shape of a sideways V. In a dance with Evey, the song V chooses is number five on his jukebox (if you look closely, all the songs on his jukebox are numbered "5"). When V confronts Creedy in his house, he plays Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, whose opening notes have a rhythmic pattern that resembles the letter "V" in Morse code (...-). The Symphony's opening was used as a call sign in the European broadcasts of the BBC during World War II, in reference to Sir Winston Churchill's "V for Victory". This movie's title is also a reference to "V for Victory". In the battle with Creedy and his men at Victoria station, V forms a "V" with his daggers just before he throws them. After the battle, when V is mortally wounded, he leaves a "V" signature in his own blood. When the group of "V"s marches, Big Ben shows the time at 11:05 p.m., creating a V on the clock face. 11:05 is also the month and day format for the fifth of November. The destruction of the Old Bailey and Parliament results in a display of fireworks which form the letter "V".
