A dirge of personal heroism, superhero culture. When mortals with love and hate under the mask of superheroes, after witnessing all the dark sides of human society, where will their inflated energy beyond public power be directed? A lyncher on the edge of the law? Self-righteous savior? Or a god who sees through all desires and inaction? The final form of superheroes is destined to be incompatible with the order-oriented modern society, and the energy beyond public power held in the hands of individuals will eventually lead to their own loss of control and destruction.
As alleged in the legend of the Black Ship, the belief in justice will instead hold the holders of justice hostage, insisting on the obsession of justice in the midst of evil and misfortune, making the so-called hero sensitive and violent, the grass and trees are all soldiers and the use of violence to control violence makes it instead To commit crimes against justice and fall unconsciously into evil under the shadow of justice.
The conflict between the superhero's ability and the human nature that is difficult to control rationally is exactly the predicament. Human beings cannot get rid of greed, lust and rage. This is the original sin of human beings, and it is especially serious and irrational in the individual. Power will multiply it, and the belief in justice cannot stop the process, which is the original sin of superheroes. It is also the reason why superheroes are destined to not exist in the real world and cannot be tolerated by the real world. Superheroes can only be used as fantasies, and individual heroism can only be regarded as fantasies. This is their inevitable fate.
As far as the movie is concerned, the film Watchmen is very rich in content, with many satirical details about the real world, and many stalks worth digging into. The final ending is also very counter-intuitive. It seems that the problem has been solved, but it actually leaves a mess full of Satire. The movie really combines superheroes with the real world, rather than a simple cool movie. It can indeed be regarded as an excellent superhero movie. The dark and bloody style of the movie is also in line with the background environment of the narrative, and the overall texture is very good. The disadvantage is that it is slightly lengthy and the plot coherence is a little bit worse.
