The incident took place hundreds of years ago, before 1800. Among the Christians there were sects like Protestantism, Catholicism, Orthodoxy etc. In the 1540's, the Catholic community became disillusioned with the English government for political reasons. The Catholic Church did not want to accept the control of the British royal family. These churches were formerly under Roman control. The Raj administration used to give them various punishments and even death penalty for petty crimes. Gradually huge anger was building against the royal family. But in the meanwhile they see hope in King James. Because, his behavior was friendly towards Catholics. But after he came to power, all ideas changed. He started behaving like others.

By 1805, persecution of Catholics had reached a climax. At such a time, a few rebels plan together to overthrow this oppressive government and establish appropriate rule. From there the ‘gunpowder plot’ was born. According to this plot, the entire parliament will be demolished with gunpowder during the parliament. The day the explosion was planned with gunpowder was on November 5th. From there came the famous line “Remember, remember! The fifth of November ”

The main protagonists of this plot were Robert Catsby and Guy Fox. Catsby was a Catholic and Guy Fox was an Army member. But incidentally their plan did not succeed. In one case, the royal authorities found out about their plan. They were detained. Guy Fox was caught with gunpowder, dried wood and gunpowder. Robert Katsby was shot dead. Other accomplices were sentenced to death. It ended with one of the most unsuccessful but influential revolutionary plans in history.

Hundreds of years later, in the 1990's, Alan Moore wrote a comic series called V for Vendetta under DC Comics. The artist of this comic or graphic novel was David Lloyd. The main basis of this series was the gunpowder plot. This graphic novel, finished in ten volumes, was quite popular and meant to be quite good. A film was later made in 2005 to combine the ten series. The name of the movie is the name of the comic. The film is also very good and as a result, the story of November 5 and the song powder plot became popular all over the world.

At a young age, many go through the concept of revolutionary meditation. Those people can't help but like this plot movie. So many people see the movie V for Vendetta (2005) as a celebration every year on November 5th. The movie has become an icon as a protest against the oppressive, corrupt government and the misguided, ruined society. There is a difference between the story of this graphic novel and the movie from the original historical story. The Gunpowder plot was ruined in history, but the Gunpowder plot in the movie was quite realistically successful.

As soon as the children arrived on November 5, they started writing about it on Facebook, blogs and other social media. There are almost two quotes in those writings. One is-

“Remember, remember!

The fifth of November,

The Gunpowder treason and plot;

I know of no reason

Why the Gunpowder treason

Should ever be forgotten! ”

The other is-

“Beneath this mask there is more than just flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea… and ideas are bulletproof. ”

Many imitate them. Some might think, the movie is very influential or history is very important, so it is celebrated this way. But the reality is, the gunpowder plot is not just a history, this event is more than history. Saying ‘Ideas are bulletproof’ is not just a love of cinema, it is more than a movie. Its explanation is hidden in history. Robert Catsby and Guy Fox died. However, their thinking consciousness and revolutionary thoughts are still alive today. They may have been wiped out with bullets or with knives, but the royal family could do nothing about the thoughts or ideas they left behind. Those ideas and thoughts have been in the minds of people for hundreds of years throughout history. This is a graphic novel centered on the defeated Guy Focus, the film is due to his revolutionary ideas.

People can be killed but human ideas can do nothing. If one revolutionary is killed, hundreds of revolutionaries are born in his consciousness. When one Che Guevara passed away, thousands of Che Guevaras were born around the world with his ideas. From here comes one of the most influential sayings of the century "Ideas are bulletproof". So the importance of November The Fifth in history is immense.

The last sentence mentioned here is one of the magnetic parts of the movie 'V for Vendata'. In the movie, one of the many oppressed people becomes a rebel and starts plotting to destroy the existing government. On the other hand, the government also became desperate to suppress him. In such a situation, he arranges everything for the implementation of his idea in such a way that even if he is arrested or disabled in an accident or dies, the idea is implemented. He deliberately created a turbulent situation in the whole country, as if the government could not prevent it. It can be seen that even after hundreds of attempts, the idea cannot be suppressed in any way. The fire that was flickering in one's mind, that fire once flared up in the middle of everyone. Once the fire burns in the middle of everyone, there is no problem even if there is no original flickering fire. Even though the hero of the movie is a V, thousands of flames are left behind. That's why Ideas are bulletproof. The sentence is extremely successful and undoubtedly highly influential.

Though a person dies, the idea never dies, from time to time the idea spreads from generation to generation.

For a long time in history, people thought that the earth was at the center of the universe and that everything in the universe revolved around the earth. Going beyond these, some have said from a scientific point of view, the earth is not really the center of the universe. The sun does not revolve around the earth, but the earth revolves around the sun. But they were severely punished by the superstitious for such an attitude. A man named Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake for believing this idea. Elder Galileo Galilei was tortured for the crime of propagating this idea. They may have been persecuted and murdered by the church or the blind, but their revolutionary ideas have spread among the northern generation. Now almost everyone knows that the earth is not something unique in the universe. It is not the center of everything, it revolves around the sun. Their revolutionary ideas could not be suppressed by keeping them down. It may have taken time, but from time to time, those thoughts spread like wildfire all over the world.

Giordano Bruno was burned alive for propagating the idea that the earth revolves around the sun.

Ideas are bulletproof - this sentence is not just a sentence, it is explosive gunpowder. This one sentence is enough to set fire to the minds of thinking people. Not just history, not just movies, not just trend shows. There is a deep philosophy behind the pronunciation of the above two famous sentences. When you are sharing a sentence like this with people, you are actually doing something very deep philosophical. You are one of the different. One of the people walking against the current. Weak fish go in favor of the current, and dead fish go. Those who go against the current are brave and unique. So don't forget, the greatness of November 5th. Every year at this time of the year, people from all over the world join in to fan the flames of their own protests, to get rid of the traditional snares, to break the sphere of influence of society and systems.

Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Day, Bonfire Night and Firework Night, is an annual commemoration observed on 5 November, primarily in the United Kingdom. Its history begins with the events of 5 November 1605 O.S., when Guy Fawkes, a member of the Gunpowder Plot, was arrested while guarding explosives the plotters had placed beneath the House of Lords. Celebrating the fact that King James I had survived the attempt on his life, people lit bonfires around London; and months later, the introduction of the Observance of 5th November Act enforced an annual public day of thanksgiving for the plot's failure.

I'm sorry but I have to correct you slightly - it is 'Guy Fawkes' not 'Guy Fox'. Although 'Guy Fox' (or maybe 'Fox Guy') does sound like a good superhero name!
