Happiness, I have to say that I enjoy this abroad, and I can watch such a pornographic and violent movie in the cinema. No cuts are made, and people must be over 18 years old to watch.
The film is adapted from a famous American comic, and the original work won the Hugo Award for Science Fiction Awards. After reading it, I walked around the Internet and found that the general evaluation was not high. I thought it did not show the essence of the comics. I have basically never read American comics, so I don't have much comments. But I think, as far as my experience of watching this movie is concerned, it is still very good.
The essence of the movie is that Superman is no longer justice, Batman can't get an erection, and bad guys save the world.
In the movie, while the yellow and the violence are very sad, the so-called American super justice heroes are actually the tasters of the ups and downs of this world, unfortunate childhood, mutual love, painful marriage, aging slowly, degeneration and loss, etc. Wait.
America won, and in a fictional parallel world, Japan still surrendered (only the person who kissed the nurse in Times Square became a Supergirl), America won the Vietnam War, and America still landed on the moon (only Dr. Manhattan was already on it) The Watergate reporter was fired, and Nixon was re-elected for four terms. . . Behind them are superheroes. But only the Soviet Union, facing another superpower, the superheroes have nothing to do.
The plot takes place in satire and reminiscence.
Among the old people, there are very few people who have a good end. Some die like lesbians, and some become insane. . .
"Comedian" the Comedian degenerates, became the government's lackey, tried to rape the heroine, and was finally killed, before killing, crying and laughing, JUST (or IT'S) A JOKE. . .
Owlman (allusion to Batman) is a cowardly escapist, a superhero who has to lock the door repeatedly to feel safe.
Dr. Manhattan, who seems to be omnipotent, is indifferent and no longer cares about world affairs. . .
Only the cynical Rorschach, whose name is difficult to translate, can be called the dirty face or the ink face (Rorschach itself is a method of psychological testing with changing patterns, which also appears in the movie), and continued unremittingly. Work hard, trying to find who's behind it. He kills and fights. . . Along the way, broken hands and bones, brains splashed.
In the end, the truth came out. The big villain Ozymandias (named from the name of a famous pharaoh in ancient Egypt) tried to sacrifice tens of millions of people in exchange for the reconciliation between the United States and the Soviet Union. He was the mastermind behind the scenes, but he saved the world. . . Dr. Manhattan kills Rorschach, who insists on his beliefs, and leaves the galaxy.
Major cities in the world, such as New York, Moscow, Beijing, etc., have been hit hard, but the US and the Soviet Union have reconciled and the world is at peace. The newspaper has nothing to write about. . . Dr. Manhattan bears the false sin of the public enemy of mankind and bears eternal loneliness. The only thing is to have lovers with Owlman and Silk Woman, but at that time, they no longer had the aura of superheroes.
I won't do too much spoilers. I watched it in a foreign movie theater. I believe others will see it more clearly with subtitles than without subtitles. The film is nearly 3 hours long. It can be said that it has no climax, it is crazy, and it can be said that it has too many stories to tell. Just use the montage method to transition.
This piece has some crazy colors, and uses a lot of bright music, but it has no comedy elements, and some are also a little dark humor. The combination of music, adding a lot of classic soundtracks to violence, loss and pain, makes people feel enthusiastic yet thoughtful. I think the combination of music is very nice.
There is an interesting plot in it, that is, Silk Woman and Owlman who appear in the shape of ordinary people beat up a group of hooligans who attacked them. These hooligans are natives of the United States, but they have Japanese samurai hairstyles (the word "servant" is written on the back, which is the Japanese character for samurai). I don't know if this plot is in the comics, if not, I say if, is it a cultural hint? Does the American hero beat down the Japanese-styled Americans, does it represent the American comic industry (traditional American hero)'s counterattack against Japanese popular culture, especially the popularity of anime in Europe and America? This is purely irresponsible nonsense.
The movie is very entertaining, although Dr. Manhattan's little JJ swinging around always makes people want to laugh. But Owl and Silk Spectre II have sex on their flying vehicle on a justice mission, and Comedian's unsuccessful rape of Silk Spectre I (and the SM element), have to say. . . So much feeling! ! !
I'm even close to tears, this one. . In addition to the famous AV special shooting series of a Japanese company, you can also see such exciting and infinitely longing scenes in that comic hero film. . . Or in the form of American blockbusters, just rely on this, go to the cinema to watch, enjoy.
Director Ellen Moore (the director of the movie "Three Hundred") deliberately teases men's fantasies about heroines, from repeated close-ups of Silk Spectre II's long legs, to her mother Silk Spectre I (Silk Spectre) when she stripped herself off. Garter belts for thigh stockings, etc. But actually think about it, while the audience is being teased, don't those male heroes not? That's why they are tortured by lust and love in the film. Some people feel pain and self-blame, and some people are beastly. . .
Male heroes are the main characters in many special films in the United States, including Japan, Dinosaurs, Ultraman, Superman, Batman, Spiderman and so on. Heroines are not protagonists. But look at the male heroes of this film, Rorschach is ugly and a little hysterical, Owlman is like a timid and cowardly little civil servant (of course there is still size), Manhattan Bodu has been Godized, and he is not a normal person. The comedian's appearance fully reflects the ugly element in his heart. The only Ozymandias who looks handsome and upright is the mastermind behind the scenes. . . .
Heroes are not all beautiful men, handsome guys, heroes will grow old, heroes also have sexual fantasies, and heroes are also tortured by desire. . . Only that Rorschach, whose pursuit of justice may seem to us a little paranoid, has accomplished the ultimate sacrifice. He took his own petty justice. Not the so-called righteousness of saving mankind.
After so many years of watching American hero blockbusters, from Batman to X-Men to Spider-Man to Iron Man, etc., it feels a bit boring the more I watch it. But this one is eye-catching. Although there are some vulgar pretense and preaching in the film, I have to say that the restoration of sin and the implantation of human convulsions and struggles are really in place.
As Dr. Manhattan said at the end, I can change almost everything, but i can't change human nature. I can change almost everything, but i can't change human nature. . .
America used to cheer because these heroes were Americans, but nothing has changed, and the evils of human nature still erode and threaten this country. . .
This movie is worth going to the cinema, but it is not recommended in China. If it is released in China, at least one hour of pornographic and violent parts of the 3-year-old film will be cut, and some political metaphors will also be cut. . . I don't think this film will be released in China at the end, and those who watch it in the province will find it boring. In addition, I heard that the name of the domestic release may be called "Guardian". . . The bastard who thinks this name comes out will not die! ! !
