who swears to the death to defend the creed, is a prostitute, which makes him discriminated against since he was a child. However, the anger in his heart finally turned into the creed of "no compromise, never give up" to support his understanding of life. He seems to be a firm monist, with the idea of absolute justice and the will of a fighter, swearing to the death to compete with evil to the end. When he picked up the knife and chopped the kidnapper's head, only the word "punishment" was in his mind. In his view, guilt must be punished, and for justice, the law is the same as the chopper. Just as the meaning of his infinitely changing mask-how I do it is not important, the key is what I want to do.
Finally, facing the truth, Rorschach never compromised. Although Ozmandis's approach seemed right, he still wanted to make it public. what does this mean? It means that those lives will be lost in vain, and that a nuclear war will break out. Facing Daniel's advice, Rorschach said firmly: "Do you know? This is the difference between me and you." Yes, he cannot tolerate any behavior that violates the creed, even if it is a trivial flaw. So he will yell at Dr. Manhattan: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up." At this moment, Rorschach realized the end of his mission. Since the whole world will be peaceful and people will be friendly, then my existence and these What is the meaning of creed?
Comedian-a fatalist created by a complex personality.
He is a violent temper, a changeable personality, and he is unscrupulous in achieving his goals. Some people even say: As everyone knows, he is a Nazi. Indeed, he shot Kennedy, he killed the Vietnamese girl who was pregnant with his child, and he tried to rape his colleague. In everyone's eyes, he is a complete bastard, a villain in a heroic cloak. Of course, he will also be desperate. When he beat the demonstrators violently, he was thinking: God, what happened to my American dream? If I can't wear a mask, what will happen to me tomorrow?
After living in seclusion, the comedian lives alone. He is lonely but helpless, because he has no object to talk to. When he learned of Ozmandis' plan, he shed tears because of confusion. His last confession was like a sudden burst of a dam, slumping thousands of miles away, until he drained his soul and even his life. "Mom, forgive me!" This was his last words. Why are you sorry to your mother? Is it the doubt about life or the confession of death? Perhaps the comedian thinks that his mother gives him such a gift as a gift, but he uses it to do bad things. It turned out that he always believed in cause and effect, thinking that this day would come sooner or later. Does he deserve it? Maybe it is, maybe not. Even though the comedian was the target of public criticism, he showed a little bit of paternal love and guilt for the silk ghost. I still remember the silk ghost telling his daughter Luo Li: "Do you know why I never get angry with him? Because he made me have you." The
second generation of silk ghost-the sensual woman who inherited
her mother's business, she came from her mother. I got all the things I deserved, the same outstanding ability, a beautiful face, and even the beauty mole on his right cheek. When she was a young and lovely child, she joined the League of Legends, met the superb Doctor Manhattan, and became the third person to destroy a marriage. The life trajectories of this mother and daughter overlapped in this way. Although the mother is a tragedy, she does not want her daughter to repeat the same mistakes.
Luo Li's first love seemed to be an admiration of "the able is supreme", which seemed to be inseparable from her father's caress. Manhattan's ability to be close to God made Luo Li enthusiastic and made her unwilling to turn back. However, when Luo Li felt that the distance between Dr. Manhattan and herself was getting wider, she had to look at herself again-am I going to lose my love forever like my mother? Of course, Luo Li is lucky, because Daniel has given her feelings beyond friendship, allowing her to regain hope in life. Finally, she chose to jump out of Dr. Manhattan's paradise, came to the world, and got happiness that her mother had never achieved.
Daniel-the "Birdman" with ideals and puzzles intertwined
He has a rich dad, a high degree of education, and even ideals. When he became a hero who "overlooked the earth like a bird", he partnered with Rorschach to bring justice and peace of mind. It was at this time that he met Luo Li, who made him so enamored but famous. Although Daniel buried his mind to the depths, he unintentionally showed a lot of tenderness. Lori knows this, Dr. Manhattan knows it, everyone knows it.
When the congressional ban was issued, the League of Legends existed in name only. Daniel chose to understand Jiaguitian, and since then lived a life of seclusion and freedom from the world, and the feelings that had never seen the sun before became dusty. Sometimes, he would visit old friends, chat about the past, and recall the past. But his seemingly peaceful heart has already made waves-where has my previous faith gone? What should I do? Do you end your life like now?
This confusion changed with Rorschach's comeback and also sublimated with Luo Li's arrival. In a sense, Daniel is a realist. Although his behavior has an idealistic color, he still cannot be detached from reality. He would turn a blind eye to crime because of a decree, and even be forced by Manhattan's "powerful and perfect" reality, making love impossible to speak out. But in the end, the director gave Daniel an American dream. Because he is the most American symbol-although we have also been desperate and will choose to forbearance, but we have never given up hope, as long as we have the opportunity, we will create happiness. It can be said that Daniel is the reflection of Rorschach, and their combination may be perfect.
Dr. Manhattan-the left hand of the lost God
Because of an experimental accident, his life has changed forever. He first became nothingness, and then transformed into a transcendent form, living in the world like a god. His ability is enough to surprise God. All things no longer have a fixed shape before his eyes, he can separate them and combine them at will. Even the existing laws of physics are invalid for him, because he can walk in the crystal palace of Mars and walk on the surface of the sun with a flick of his fingers. He is like God's left hand, protecting the weak with infinite power.
Many people call Dr. Manhattan a "god", but he found that he is not like that, and even somewhat alienated from human nature. Because of the young and beautiful Luo Li, he will give up the love of the old Zhuhuang; he can be invited by the government to throw himself into the battlefield in Vietnam, leaving the enemy to pieces; he is indifferent to the atrocities of the comedians, and watched the Vietnamese girl be shot to death; I am also in conflict with the nuclear war that is about to break out. Since I have been far away from human nature, what does the life and death of human beings have to do with me?
When Luo Li left him, he tried to find the sadness in his heart, thinking about the meaning of existence on the red planet. Although he eventually returned to Earth, after Ozmandis' plan surfaced, he chose to compromise. He will sacrifice his previous positive image and become the public enemy of mankind in exchange for this costly and hard-won peace. This is a somewhat tragic ending, reminiscent of "Batman: The Dark Knight"-I was infamy and chose to leave, but I never gave up justice.
Ozmandis-a fallen angel
with both talents and appearance. He has a gorgeous appearance, enough intelligence, and "fast as a bullet" speed. He has built the most profitable company in the world, ostensibly, in order to alleviate the crisis of nuclear war, he is committed to researching free energy. But he has an Alexander's heart, and his infinite ambition makes his wisdom jump out of the conventional framework and portray an ideal utopia in the distant future. And to establish this utopia, some people are bound to pay the price.
Sacrifice was necessary in Ozmandis's view, and he would not think it was a departure from justice. From the moment his design framed Dr. Manhattan, he seemed to have been far away from heaven. He gave up everything that should be given up for a plan that seemed to him great. In terms of results alone, Ozmandis was successful. He prevented the outbreak of the Third World War and spared mankind from the ravages of nuclear war, at the cost of only a few cities and a few heroes. In particular, making Manhattan a public enemy is a stroke of genius, because he is too strong to be defeated, and may not even live on the earth. In that case, why should you bother yourself with mediocrity?
Maybe you still can't let it go. You have to come up with a human ruler and argue with him, saying that he is not worthy of being a hero and should go to hell. However, Ozmandis will tell you: "Even if I can't go back to heaven, I won't go to hell. Because I can ask God: Why can Moses go to Jerusalem at the expense of the Egyptians, but I can't use the tiny In exchange for the happiness of all mankind?”
Attachment: Analysis of the background of "Watchmen"
Because I have not read the original comics of "Watchmen", so I can only publish a little opinion based on the movie.
First of all, the style and tone of "Watchmen" are very different from most previous heroic movies. The hero images created by movies such as "Superman", "Spiderman", and "Fantastic Four" are mostly cartoonish, that is, they are free from reality, telling a popcorn story of justice over evil and accompanied by beautiful love. And "Watchmen" not only diversified the hero's personality, but also combined the story background and reality to write an alternative modern American history.
There are more than one heroes in "Watchmen". They are a group of people whose mission is to fight violence and safety. They are still "human beings" because they do not have the superpowers to escape into the earth. They are just stronger than ordinary people and have more Greater strength, more agile movements, or more alert mind, nothing more. Like ordinary people, they will be injured, will grow old, and of course will be favored by the god of death. These heroes formed an alliance. From the 1930s to the 1960s, most of their identities were not disclosed, and they were the focus of media and public attention. However, after Nixon came to power, he began to suppress heroism. Parliament even passed a law prohibiting heroes from wearing masks. This means that the secret identities of heroes will no longer be protected, and the heroic era will never return. Some of the heroes were depraved, some were insane, some went to jail, some were assassinated by enemies, and the rest chose to disappear, waiting to die like ordinary people.
After Nixon came to power, he was very aggressive. He not only launched the Vietnam War, but also entered the era of the US-Soviet hegemony. The Cold War intensified, and finally the conflict escalated to a situation where a nuclear war might break out. The United States, which has lost its heroes, is facing a huge crisis, social turmoil, and international tensions. The American dream of most people has also begun to falter. This background is strikingly similar to reality. During the Nixon administration, social problems emerged one after another, and the anti-war voices were very loud. Especially after the Watergate incident, Nixon, the president who never publicly apologized for violating the Constitution, was despised by the American people. A recent movie "Dialogue Nixon" amplifies this sentiment even more. In short, the anxiety created by the changing times is the basic style of the whole movie, and the movie describes a post-hero era full of complex emotions.
Perhaps Americans appreciate this movie and feel more personally. World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, the assassination of Kennedy, the Watergate incident... What they saw was like a group of pictures combined yesterday. In this relatively unstable age, everyone has their own memories, and if you pull out the commonalities in these memories, you will become the lively and vivid characters in "Watchmen".
