Audio problem: When V says that he has never danced to any of the songs on his jukebox, a song is playing in the background, yet there is no record seen playing on the jukebox. This occurs even after V presses the button to activate the song.
V for Vendetta (2005)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: James McTeigue
Starring: Natalie Portman, Hugo Weaving, Stephen Rea, Rupert Graves
V convinces Mr. Creedy to bring him the High Chancellor by offering up himself in exchange. After V has Creedy promptly kill the Chancellor, Creedy then orders his men to kill V.V, having worn the armor breastplate from the suit of armor in the Shadow Gallery, survives multiple gunshots, and proceeds to kill all of Creedy's men, finally breaking Creedy's neck -- as promised. However, mortally wounded, V staggers back to Evey, only to die in her arms, finally at peace. Evey places his body on the London Underground Tram, surrounded by roses, just as Inspector Finch reaches the abandoned station. However, he has a revelation, and allows Evey to send the train carrying V, and several kilos of Semtex, to crash into parliament. Outside, the citizens of London are garbed in the Guy Fawkes masks and capes that V sent out earlier, and rapidly advancing towards the Parliament building. The military, now at a loss after Mr. Creedy's death, does not stop them. The explosive tram collides with the Parliament, and annihilates the structure, all while the propaganda speakers strewn throughout London triumphantly blare out Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture". Evey and the Inspector watch the fantastic explosion, and Evey tells the inspector how V truly is an ideal, and can never truly die, as long as all of mankind longs for freedom.

Question: Was any explanation ever given for why V's signature flower was changed to the Scarlet Carson for the movie when in the graphic novel it's the Violet Carson (keeping in tone with his obsession with the letter V)? It doesn't seem to serve any plot significance so I'm rather puzzled why they felt a modification was necessary.

Answer: The Violet Carson is an uncommon rose, and the requirement to frequently require a rose in a state of perfect bloom meant that production crew were required to purchase hundreds of roses during the course of production. As such, they chose to go with a more common rose, the Grand Prix, which they renamed to the fictional Scarlet Carson to tie the name in to the original. There's also the point that the Violet Carson is named after a real person, a British actress who passed away in 1983. Her family might well not appreciate having her name prominently associated with a serial killer anti-hero in a major Hollywood movie.
