Genre - types on film, categories 
Stereotypically it's a male film, corruption, dictatorship, no freedom, not a convention sci fi, fascist, nazi themes
V for Vendetta 

V - terrorist, usually antagonist, been experimented on, superhero film, mutant, actionishhh, activist/terrorist. Detective tries to catch him

Experiment on terrorists, immigrants, disabled, homosexuals, Steven Fry,

Evey - no power ----- terrorist
            Passive ----- active
             Feminin ----- masculine

Why is it sci fi?

Not a sci fi, no unrealistic stuff, near future, negative near future,
Dystopia

Film could be from detective, evey or Vs POV. Adds mystery, generates conversation

Mystery - who's behind the mask? Why does he have a vendetta? How did the government get to power? Conspiracy theories

Action - explosions, fights, weapons, entertaining stabbing, 
Not an action - not a good or bad character, V is a terrorist/criminal, we tortures Evey, V destroys the symbol of government, everyone's the leader, EVIL IS THE REPRESSION OF INDIVIDUALITY 

FREEDOM VS PROTECTION 

Theme of clip Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes - scientific experiments,
