The defending heroes in the play were established in the 1940s. It originated from a "squad" extended by the police to fight crimes, but most of the members of the first-generation "People's Army" ended in a sad end. Going to the second generation, Dr. Manhattan (Dr. Manhattan), who can understand the past and future due to accidents, and Nite Owl II (Nite Owl II) and King Silk Spectre (Silk Spectre II), the king of kings (Ozymandias) who claims to be the "smartest person in the world", the surly ink score geek (Rorschach), and the first generation to the second generation of comedian (Comedian), "Scope of work "It's even bigger. It is their "duty" to participate in wars and stop riots. But when the Nixon administration passed the "Transformed Heroes Banning Act," a group of team members were forced to retreat from the line of fire. It was not until 1985 that the US-Soviet nuclear crisis was on the verge of the death of the Smiley Man. Everyone once again joined forces. During the startling investigation process, they even discovered a secret concerning the survival of the world.
The film images are as fierce as the director’s predecessors "300" and "Dawn of the Living Dead". However, this is not a heroic movie that focuses on action drama or sensational stimulation. An impermanent and dark heart. The "bad horns" in the film are not weird monsters, but human inferiority. If "Spider-Man" is to bring out "heroes are also humans," the film "Guardian" actually takes this point even more extreme. The "Spider-Man" series focuses on Peter Paga's life tribulations, while "Protection" brings out the cowardly, cruel, surly, and passive side of the hero. None of the heroes in the film are perfect, but their "banned" is a kind of relief.
There is a very deep scene. After the Smiley Man and Doctor Manhattan finished their missions in the Vietnam War, a Vietnamese woman who was made pregnant by the former came to find the ballast. She argued with the Smiley Man but was shot to death by him. Dr. Manhattan questioned the Laughing Man, but was questioned: "You could have prevented this, but you didn't do anything. You are indifferent to people at all." Similar plots run through the film, causing the audience to sink their hearts. We always think that the bright side of heroes is greater than the dark side when watching heroes movies, just like "Variants", "Batman" or "Steel Man", but when we come to this movie, it restores heroes to a kind of "professional". They They are just "public servants" or even "workers." It is "reasonable" for the "workers" to complain about their profession.
Another point of the film's direct hits is the "historical" background elements, including Kennedy's assassination, the Vietnam War, the "political situation" of the 1970s and 1980s, and the tense Cold War years. In reality, the United States suffered a terrible defeat in the Vietnam War and Nixon stepped down due to the Watergate Incident. However, in this film, the United States won the Vietnam War by Dr. Manhattan. Nixon won three elections, which is just like irony. The film outlines a troubled world of uncertainty. The original film turned out to be the time of the Cold War. The film was released today. The Cold War has long ended, but is the international situation really calm at this moment? The heroes in the film do everything for the peace of the world, but we who live in the moment still rely only on ourselves. We don't have a "doomsday clock" as an "indicator", but the tug of war of power is developing at the same time. The film is like a mirror, reflecting a "vision", making the audience feel sad and at the same time having to reflect.
"Defense of Strange Man" is not another set of "Steel Armor" or "Transformers". The audience should open their hearts before entering the venue, and they will find that this is a masterpiece worth chewing.
