Summary: Why does V for Vendetta not fit/fit into a typical Holloywood film? 

There are ways that it does fall into a Hollywood film, ways such as cause and effects, something happens to someone and we know how it happened. In V's case it would be that he got powers from being experimented on and now wanting revenge. It doesn't fit into it due to it not being just a one character driven film. In others there would be one character that without them there would be no film, but in V for Vendetta, there's more than one character that drives the film. But still both of the characters that drive it forward are both relevant and without either there is no film. There's a lot of opposition and conflict that can make this a Hollywood film. The film is deliberately is doing this to show the different rules that need to be followed. The good the bad, the rules are very black and white.
