To understand Dr. Manhattan, please refer to the "Manhattan" project, an American man-made nuclear bomb project. In 1942, a development plan costing 2.5 billion U.S. dollars. Friends who knew how to calculate inflation helped to calculate. How much would it cost to get the 2.5 billion in 1942 today? !
And Rorschach, just search for "Rorschach Ink Test". I think the person who created Rorschach is a genius. To put it bluntly, the Rorschach test is to use a few ink maps to test the person’s association to see if the person is normal. This kind of test itself is actually unreliable, and the subjective guidance and judgment of the tester would have been affected. Subjects. Just like Rorschach in the work, she wears a mask and judges everything with her own moral standards, saying that it sounds good is a moral obsession, and saying that it sounds bad is just a moral hypothesis. This character is very well designed. When I watched the movie for the second time, I decisively gave me an extra point because of the dynamic mask of this character!
The story of the film is very clear. The directors are probably afraid that people will not be able to understand it. The background of the story is explained clearly with a wonderful editing at the beginning of the film. If you don’t understand it, you actually know less about the special historical period of the Cold War. Who is to blame? The Cold War in our history textbooks has never been an important test site.
The theme of the film is very good. Perhaps thanks to the original setting, the end of the Cold War was not because people learned that "love has no borders", but nuclear weapons, which completely broke the balance of the world.
Imagine two children who are always fighting, suddenly gaining the ability to destroy each other's family in an instant and endanger their own family. How do you fight this fight? It's better to endure the humiliation and think of a good way that can perfectly defeat your opponent without being damaged. So the two children shook hands and went home to study insidious tricks.
Therefore, the Manhattan Project represented by Dr. Manhattan represents the nuclear strike capability that mankind has acquired, bringing the world back to peace. Those who try to protect this fruit of peace cannot be criticized even if they do whatever they can. People with ethical cleanliness, such as our Rorschach, will naturally be eliminated. Therefore, the "fast man (sorry I forgot his name)" who contributed to all this has done far beyond what we are right about. “Superhero” understanding, and the heroes and heroines in the film who truly conform to the “superhero identity and thoughts” chose to retreat silently. And the "fast man", who was also a superhero, finally retired from the heroic mask of being brave and fearless, serving the country for the people and the world, and turned into a mature politician.
We can judge superheroes because of the simple choices they face.
But we can never judge a politician, because we don't know whose interests are behind every choice.
In the end, what kind of film is this? In other words, what kind of work is "The Watcher"? Superheroes die or leave, politicians begin to take over our world. So we started paying taxes, repaying loans, abiding by laws and regulations, and becoming ordinary citizens. All the wonderful and legendary will fade away with the years, and reality begins to become like reality.
Therefore, "Watchmen" is rational and even anti-romantic, and as a film, it has succeeded in telling this somewhat frustrating story clearly.
I give a five-point score for such an excellent work, but how much do I score for this uncharacteristic reality?
