Now -- more than four hundred years after the gruesome death of the man who plotted to blow up the Houses of Parliament with barrels of gunpowder -- members of the Occupy and Anonymous movements are hoping to provide their own reason to remember Guy Fawkes Night.

On Saturday, November 5, hundreds of protesters wearing the sinister black and white Guy Fawkes masks plan to march on Parliament in central London.

\"It will be a night our government never forgets,\" Malcolm, a member of hacker group Anonymous, said with a smile. \"Our government should be expecting us.\"

The march will recreate one of the final scenes of \"V for Vendetta,\" a film based on the comic books by Alan Moore about a mysterious masked revolutionary who brings down a totalitarian regime, succeeding where Fawkes failed by blowing up parliament.

The Guy Fawkes mask, worn by V, the film's protagonist -- with its diabolical grin, devilish black moustache and thin goatee on a porcelain white background -- has become the talisman of a new generation of activists as an unprecedented wave of disgust and anger with establishment figures has swept the world.

While the mask has been spotted in Occupy protests from Oakland to Hong Kong in the past month as people rally against what they perceive as growing corporate greed and rising social inequality, the mask was first embraced by international hacker ring Anonymous in 2008.

I have seen the movie “V for Vendetta”, it is an interesting film. The main character of the movie is living in a terror state, the people living in the country do not have freedom they are under violence ruled . Though a series of elaborate strategies the hero give a gift to the government and that is their doom.

Why the young generations wore the masks of “V for Vendetta’’? One reason is that they want to change the current situation of their country like Guy Fawkes even though the hero wore the same mask with them in the movie. The another reason is the mask is to be able to go to a protest without fear of retribution or aggression from the establishment.

The protesters wants to show their dissatisfaction to the political elite .They hope them hear their voice as they say “Guy Fawkes was the only man ever to enter Parliament with honest intentions”.
