haven't experienced the Cold War or the Vietnam War. I can't imagine the scenes of wars that are suddenly flying from a TV box with punk music every day. I can't imagine the media overwhelmingly emphasize the world situation and be wary of the possibility of nuclear war among the people. At the same time, more than ten years have passed since the moon landing, and Reagan’s famous "Star Wars" project began to change the world in a real sense... During
the process of watching the film, I kept thinking about the first page of the comic. The blood at the beginning and the feeling of looking down from the top of the building. Today in the 21st century, those pictures are nothing, even if the more bloody and violent pictures appear in comics later, they are nothing. There will be no shock. We have a pile of violent movies, video games in 2009. But this book The comics were published in 1986. In 1986, what are the illustrators and writers in our world doing? What do you think? And this comic is already on sale in the United States. So in other words, it is more fair today. Which line is the brain and creativity of illustrators and writers under examination-oriented education? Don’t compare the past with the past, use today to compare the past, and you can still feel the lack of culture and art, imagination, and talent training system in your country, and the power of other countries...The creativity, ideas, perceptions and open mind of 1986 When can you see even half of it in your own country?
This comic is not known to many domestic friends. Like some other American comics that are not widely sold, and like those comics that I don’t know they already exist, it is called the richest, wasteful, and evil country in the world.
Here is watched by some people... Alan Moore has always been a comic writer who fascinates Hollywood filmmakers, from hell to the league of extraordinary gentlemen to V pour vendette.
Watchmen has been stared by different companies since its birth, and it was bought by Fox at the very beginning. After terry gilliam, darren aronofsky, paul greendgrass, etc., they all failed. The company also changed from Fox to Universal and then to Pella. Meng, in the end, became Warner who lost the lawsuit and settled with Fox out of court, and succeeded in getting the film released. As for how Warner and Fox divided the watchmen cup, no further information has been seen. It is certain that Warner and Paramount will be released together in France, so the logo of the two companies can be seen at the beginning of the film.
Moore is actually a well-known weirdo in the United States. He won the Science Fiction Hugo Award for his watchmen. He is the only comic that has won this award. He refused to turn the text he created for comic into any other form of work. He refused. To be a screenwriter, refuse to watch the adaptation, refuse to sign on the movie casting. For watchmen, there is a passage on google that he said on the 2008 Entertainment Weekly--There are things that we did with Watchmen that could only work in a comic, and were indeed designed to show off things that other media can't --No matter how much Moore does not cater to others, his works will speak, and the words he has written will give him enough capital to be independent in the world. Maybe one day A Small Killing will also be put on the screen, maybe he will change, and we will see his name appear on casting.

About comics and movies---Movies are basically faithful to the original comics, and sometimes you can even see the same screen as a panel in the comics in the movie, except for the color and light.
Compared with comics, the pictures and characters of the movie are more "beautiful" (the original comics do not pursue the beauty of the characters or the costumes), and are much more beautiful; and the soundtrack of the movie includes too many famous American singers, which makes the movie as a whole It looks really great on the look. Whether it’s from zooming and slow-motion animation, from the smooth and detailed violent scenes, from a very perspective plongee total (overhead shot), from the frame-by-frame freeze-like effect like a panel etc.....related The structure of the movie basically follows the chapters and rhythms of the comics. Except for another short story in the comics and the "predecessors" of other characters and the last sex scene, the basic important points are captured, even better than I thought. I think it's good, especially some of the pictures with jon are more natural and clearer than in the comics. Speaking of the music that appears in the movie is really amazing, from Nat King Cole to Bob Dylan to Philip Glass, and finally to Nina Simone, it seems that the original soundtrack will sell well or not.
In terms of movies, comics are more serious and complete, lacking romance and empty aesthetics. There is no moonlight bed scene of Choen’s hallelujah, no rain cemetery of Simon & Garfunkel, no clear surface of Mars, no meetings that Kubrick has used. Room, there are not many, many... I can’t comment on which movie or comic is better. I just feel that the two are connected but they are too different. The feeling that they cannot complement each other makes me seem to understand the reason why Moore does not accept the change.
Generally speaking, this movie is not for people who like "hero drama". Apart from the powerful music and the valuable special effects, this movie is not suitable for people who like the "xx man" series, because he is not a very narrative. "Hollywood commercialization" films, he is not an ordinary comic, there should be many people who know this in the United States, but many people in China will misunderstand the trailers and posters before they do the investigation. I hope that people who don’t understand will not scold me, and I hope that more people can watch Moore’s original work and watch the movie again. I believe more people will understand the metaphor in the movie.

There are many dialogues in the movie that are worthy of further consideration. For example, the earth will be destroyed under the destruction of mankind sooner or later. For example, Jon said, I can change a lot, but I cannot change human nature etc.....
Human nature is evil, right? Is it greedy? Is the government useless? Moore has been silently promoting anarchism, and occasionally I can see the word v in comics. If you cross the comics, you will see another world, the world in another pair of eyes, and this world was 20 years ago. , So today, 20 years later, how different is everything? Today when the Iraq War is not over? Today in @#%……&*￥?
