"Remember, remember the fifth of November...

... the gunpowder treason and plot. I know of now reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot."

In 1605, Guy Fawkes attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament.

He was caught with enough gunpowder to level most of London.

Sometimes I wonder where we would be had he hadn't failed.

I suppose the answer is in the rhyme. More than the man, what we must remember is the plot itself.

For in the plot we find more than just a man, we find the idea of that man, the spirit of that man, and that is what we must never forget.

This, then, is the story of that idea, of that spirit that began with an anarchist's plot four hundred years ago.

And with that starts one of my favorite movies recently......
