We see the girl with the glasses get shot. My interpretation of that scene is that she dies.
But then in the last scene when everyone standing outside the parliament take off their masks - there she is! The little girl with the glasses. Alive and well.
Why?
And u will find gordon .. and the prison girl that she died also .. it was a nice touch from the director .. thsts it
shareThe director did that intentioaly to tell us if v died .. his soul still live in the ppl .. and from another side to make the ppl not feel sadness at the movie's end .. so it was really nice touch.. he want to tell u that the end is happy .. and the hole cast is celebrating .. if you focous u will find the hole cast at the end
I wish u got me
It's just the spirit of them living on through revolution.
"He was you and me, he was all of us."
Gordon
Evey's parents
Evey's brother
Valerie & Ruth
Numerous blacks who were long ago killed or deported from England
The little girl in glasses
It is just their spirit which lives on.
If you know where to look you can also see Hugo Weaving among those taking off their masks.

WOW! I am sorry! I didn't realize there was such a following of people wanting to know where he is :)
2:04:00
He's clearly in frame in a close-up pan.
This is JUST AFTER the little boy takes off his mask and *just before* we see Evey's parents.....
Whoops!
I just consulted the imdb's trivia page. Apparently *I am* mistaken.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0434409/trivia:
Hugo Weaving appears unmasked while V is pretending to be the old man who gives the information to Inspectors Finch and Dominic. He also appears unmasked, though with his face always in shadows, while a disguised V acts as the guard/torturer of Evey while she's imprisoned. Despite rumors to contrary, *he doesn't* appear at the climax while all the Londoners watch Parliament being blown up, though he does appear in the crowds in Lark Hill flashbacks.
I also thought that was him in both a wide shot flashback and close-up.

So even merely being deported caused them to leave ghosts behind?

It's supposed to an illustration of what Natalie Portman is talking about in her last speech. All the people wearing the Guy Fawkes masks remove them to reveal Natalie Portman's parents, the two lesbians in the camp, Stephen Fry's character, etc. Natalie Portman describes how V is in each of us and so the film literally uses those victims to represent the movement that V had created. It's all symbolism. I was taken back by the appearance of the girl myself, until I saw Stephen Fry. Then I got it.
shareso she isn't real nearly a spirit
shareWhen you see the girl with glasses shot, Finch is telling Dominic about how events might unfold:
Dominic: What do you think will happen?
Finch: What usually happens when people without guns stand up to people *with* guns.
And later he says "someone will make a mistake" and you see the girl with glasses shot. So it could be, that it only happens in Finch's mind.
But after thinking some about it i also tend to think, that she really got shot since you see all the other dead people taking off their masks, too (Deitrich, Evey's parents, the lesbian couple...).
It's ironic that I came to the board about this very question. See, I rewatched her getting shot so many times that I noticed that the paint can was hooked to her belt and when she was shot, it went flying off in front and to the right of her, before she hit the ground. I just figured that the bullet just happened to hit that can and she was dazed by the force of the bullet and just laid there. When we see her mask slide away, that means that her head hit the pavement. That would be enough to clean most of the clocks of everyone. Eyes opened or closed, we wouldn't be moving much for a while after that.
I have something to say; It's better to burn out, than to fade away!!!
So it could be, that it only happens in Finch's mind.
