The movie was well produced and I think it delivers the intended message within its self-contained universe, but... considering that the entire story is framed in the context of the Gunpowder Plot, from beginning to end, I think that message is muddled when you understand the actual history behind it.

This symbol says "I want to blow people up for God!"

Symbols should be chosen with more care, and not adopted from movies or comic books.

But then I sigh and, with a piece of scripture,
Tell them that God bids us do good for evil;
And thus I clothe my naked villainy
With odd old ends stolen out of Holy Writ,
And seem a saint when most I play the devil.

from Richard III, Act I Scene III by William Shakespeare

Also, notably, Guy Fawkes was in no way anti-establishment or anti-monarchy, and was certainly not an anarchist. Fawkes (and his group) wanted to replace a Protestant monarch with a Catholic one.

Specifically the 1984 David Lynch version, with Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem doing reprisals of the soundtrack.

Even better if the whole thing is framed as a play being produced in the Muppet Theater as if it were an extended episode of the Muppet Show.

So they committed an unlawful entry into an occupied dwelling, while in possession of dangerous weapons, and then committed an assault on someone in the building. I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure that's a first-degree felony under Minessota law:

The harshest penalties apply to first-degree burglary offenses in Minnesota. A person commits burglary in the first degree when the crime involves:

  • entry into a dwelling that is or becomes occupied at any time the burglar is inside the dwelling
  • possession of a dangerous weapon, explosive, or any item used to make the victim believe it's a weapon, or
  • assault on someone in the building or connected property.

Er, wouldn't that also set the value of human life to $0?
