QWhy wasn't Alan Moore credited as the original author?
AAlan Moore had always disdained the idea of his work being adapted for film, and he furthermore suffered a bad legal experience prior to V for Vendetta when his League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was adapted. After that experience, he vowed to remove himself completely from any film adaptations of his work, including financially and in credits, to ensure that he would never have to endure that kind of legal trouble again. Moore also specifically didn't like this particular film because he felt that its message was different to the novel. Its release angered him to the point that he actually left his publisher, DC Comics, since they are owned by Warner Bros, the film's production and distribution company.
QWhat is the last bit of very powerful music played at the very end of the credits?
ASpecifically, it is a bit of both the 7th and 8th tracks from the sound track.
It starts with a section of "Valerie" and then blends the tail end of "Evey Reborn.". This is a rare soundtrack as it actually contains the theatrical score. For example, there is a Rolling Stones tune from the movie that is not included on the soundtrack CD.
QWhat were the Fingermen trying to do to Evey in the beginning?
AIn the film, breaking curfew is a crime for which Fingermen (the secret police) get judicial discretion on dealing with suspects (in effect, acting as judge and jury, meting out punishment themselves). The men Evey runs into in the film were planning to use this discretion to rape her with a legal seal of approval. In the graphic novel, the charge is prostitution and the Fingermen clearly state they are going to rape AND kill Evey.
