Abstract

Dystopia could take all utopias, from More to Bacon, as a "clever tale but just a delusion" in a final refusal.When appropriately distorted, this pragmatism philosophy could be transformed into a cynicical state administration strategy based on the assumption that people are acted only by the most basic stimulations and most personal gains.People are stupid and deceitful. A smart administrator will always be able to twist them on his finger.To think otherwise, hoping to organize society by resorting to referrals or altruism is to invite mischief(Kumar, 2006). In this sense, as evidenced by the many conscious and unconscious echoes of the Brave New World and the Nineteen Eightyfour, Machiavelli's Prince is a key counter-utopian text.As a weapon in the arms of philosophical conservatism, very few methods have been as effective as modern dystopia. The dystopian stories, which are transformed into written narratives of totalitarian meta-narratives as the belief in modernity wekaned, have the opportunity to take part in the white screen by meeting with cinematic opportunities.In the context of the development of the cinema and its relation to the social field, both existing dystopic works or dystopic films which are exclusively designed for cinema, have come up against the audience.Apart from directors who have turned cameras like Terry Gilliam into dystopic worlds, many directors have portrayed stories on the white screen containing despair of a dark future of mankind. A comic book adaptation by the Wachowski brothers, the film presents a dystopian story of the dark future of England. Released in 2006, the film is directed by James McTeigue, who previously co-directed the Matrix trilogy.The political comic book "V For Vendetta" published in 1990, has showed up as a result of the wory of the creators Alan Moore and David Lloyd by the conservative Thatcher government. The film is one of the most important films of today's popular cinema in terms of a dystopic world allegory.The purpose of this study is to analyze the specific elements of dystopia through the movie of“V for Vendetta”.In the study, in the film "V For Vendetta", how the relations of power are established, how people behave in the face of authority, reading for the mythological, symbolic language and imagination dominant in film narrative are analyzed using semiotic method as well as thematic content analysis.
