say hello

This is a cool film, and it's not just visually cool.

The film tells the story of the U.S. government's secretive organization, the Watchmen, who is brought down by a spy and nearly wiped out after a powerful mother was angered by previous actions.

Does the country have a hand? Does the country have feet? Is the state a living person? The male protagonist raised this question and recounted the incident in the form of memories. Although he is a talker, the focus is actually on whether the country has human nature.

The watchmen are the third way for countries to solve problems outside of diplomacy and war, and the head of the organization is called the "mother".

"Mother" is very powerful, she can do whatever she wants. When carrying out operations in other countries, the cars on the road are used casually, and the surveillance cameras are casually watched. The most arrogant scene is at the end, when the villain handsomely blocks the male protagonist's road with a car, I thought it would be "the brave who meet by a narrow road wins", but it was directly overturned by the male protagonist who ordered the drone to launch a missile. I don't know how to die. It's so unfair. When I was about to complain for the villain, the cool point of the film came, "Mother" was "Hello": the people of the Watcher Base were wiped out, this ending is very similar to the common phrase in English: F* *k your mother.

Behind the scenes is a mother, and on the surface it seems that this is a victory of revenge, but compared to another "mother", it is not a victory of humanity.

  • Johnny Porter: [at briefing] Your job is not to predict tomorrow based on yesterday. That's what academics do. Your job is to prevent the end of tomorrow by using your brains and your imagination. If you don't find the caesium before it's too late, you will be held responsible for the single largest intelligence fumble since a flight instruction school in Florida failed to grasp the significance of a 19-year-old Al-Qaeda terrorist saying he didn't need to learn how to land.
