V for Vendetta

Hi all,

I recently or way back say a month ago saw the movie V for Vendetta. I was little bit taken a back to know about the Guy Fawkes Day is celebrated in UK. I am not sure whether the celebration is for the attempt to bring down the parliament or hanging Guy Fawkes?

Sometimes its unusual to celebrate the death or a birth of a revolution, but it depends on the kind of revolution. Also the movie gives a message that the government should be afraid of the people not the people afraid of the government.

I am not sure how the British have a perception over Guy Fawkes Day.
