V's plot and characters represent a diversity in the population of the cast, but perhaps pays a tribute to queer cinema in that it acknowledges the rights of gays and lesbians, and acknowledges, too, that when a government seeks to oppress society, it targets those weakest; the minorities, the disenfranchised (which transcends race), and the creative element within that society.

The film ends with Evey giving a somewhat melodramatic speech as the dead body of V leaves on a tree set in motion to deliver to his final target, Parliament. "He was my father, my mother, my brother, my friend. He was you," Evey says in response to Inspector French's question, "Who was he?," and, then, turning to Inspector French, she continues, "He was all of us." The idea of freedom is all of us.
