I remember the character V from V for Vendetta using the word "dramatis personae" to describe himself. Never understood the inside joke of "personae" being a Latin word for mask. The character V wears a Guy Fawkes mask.

That movie so reminded me of Phantom of the opera. A fantastic stage show by the way.

I played the speech and was startled. I had assumed that the movie was just another slasher/anti-utopian film; that speech does not fit my assumptions at all.
