I have been chasing thrillers, horror films and sci-fi films. I thought that the vampires, zombies, and horror movies I had seen would give people a shocking feeling. But it turned out that the most touching thing was a superhero movie adapted from a comic.
In this era of superheroes, the film's perspective begins with Rorschach's diary, a first-person narrative. It takes three hours to tell the stories of retired heroes who have been forgotten and abandoned by society. Starting from a superhero, more time a villain, the murder of a powerful villain, the main line that all heroes suffer.
When the retired heroes wanted to be assassinated one by one, Rorschach stood up and contacted his former colleagues, followed the clues to find past memories, and led to the Pyramid Company, whether it was the complex love-hate relationship between comedians and Jupiter. Love and hatred, their crystallization and the love triangle between Owl, GOD Joe Blue Man Dr. Manhattan, or the tragic fate of Rorschach itself, seemingly infinitely beautiful, proud, and a pharaoh with ambition and intentions.
Evil and darkness pervade the story like an invisible mist. The nuclear confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States, the military conquest of Vietnam by the United States, the bullying of the civilians and the weak by the evil gangs, the confrontation between superheroes and the police, and the brutal killing of ordinary people by superheroes. The whole story speaks: war, indifference to life. Force, the cruel dark side of humanity.
There is no justice in the opposite sense, justice is only a temporary thing, life itself is just like the story says, the clown suffering from depression seeks a doctor, hoping to prescribe a cure, the doctor said just go to the clown's performance , can be treated. There is no fundamental way to cure, just as the pharaohs only alleviated the conflict in the end, but could not cure the sins of human nature.
GOD Joe, who was wronged, was willing to take the blame that could not be cleared, get away and go to a clean and simple world. Owl and Laura themselves are just superheroes with ordinary people's thinking, not like a wise pharaoh who manipulates the whole world and plays with the whole world, just a Joke.
The greatest evil for the greatest good. For the sake of ultimate justice, can the survival of 6 billion people in the world sacrifice the lives of a handful of about 15 million people? Where is the line between good and evil? Long, protracted memories, Xia Yan's diary, self-narrative narration, when everything became clear, the worst devil finally appeared, he was the culprit of everything, the biggest villain, but this person has the ultimate goodness. Philosophy and logic are nothing at the moment. Right and wrong have confused the interface, the good and the clown (comedian) are wrapped in the cloak of evil, rape the not-so-beautiful world and the beauty pageant champion (Jupiter), and spill the ugliness and filth on the world, however, in this worst and most evil Beneath the ugliest and dirtiest deeds, the most beautiful flowers and hopes bloom.
Just a joke, in the face of this miracle, in the face of this ridiculous sad, depressed, disgusting, filthy, yet beautiful world, you choose to leave, like Dr. Joe Manhattan, the God of God? Or, like Rorschach, can't stand it until he is smashed to pieces in the face of reality and truth, and becomes a victim of conspiracy and ugly real world? Or be an ordinary person, just like Daniel, live in the world we weave and choose to forget.
The greatest prank, the whole world is a crazy joke. The inhuman Joe is as powerful as a god, but fragile and crystal clear, like a glass vase, which can be broken with a little blow; the evil clown is ugly without a bottom line, killing his mistress with his own flesh and blood, ridiculously, he is still a superhero; Sharp as a Rorschach, like a sharp sword, he directly strikes at evil, slams reality, explores the truth bravely, even at the cost of his own life, his blood is full of vitality, but in front of the wisdom of Pharaoh, he is like playing a big sword in front of Guan Gong, Everything is like a small righteousness, a small bravery, a small conspiracy, a small trick. When encountering the wisdom of the pharaoh, it is just personal justice, personal bravery, and personal inability to get rid of the blind counterattack and poor demolition tricked by fate. Compared with Joe, Pharaoh is the real GOD, and he has set up a game to play everyone.
With money, a man can play God, and it is true that the pharaoh used money to build Ramses, Alexander the Great, pyramids and Werther's company, the whole world as a game of chess, the United States and the Soviet Union as a game of chess. The biggest chess piece is played in the palm of his hand. This is a good person, a good person who does not eat minced meat and does not touch blood, and is pure and innocent. A sin butcher who wants to kill 15 million people, all superheroes are tricks in front of him. Strong and weak, Joe and Pharaoh are completely two extremes, the extreme of force and the extreme of wisdom, however, force succumbs to wisdom, goodness gives way to evil, false triumphs, truth is silent, true is not, good is not, beautiful? Also rare. The truth flatteringly delights the false, and the light of human nature bows down to the dark side and ugliness of man. Wisdom and conspiracy go hand in hand, can you say that this is wisdom and the other is conspiracy?
There is nothing, nothing, only false and false beauty blooms in this succulent and fertile world nourished by ugliness and sin. This is a piece of fertile soil, forged and watered with Rorschach's blood. This is a fertile ground, the sad, depressed clown tells in tears, laughing with a cracked mouth, a face full of sadness but a face full of joy. The Pharaoh, with ulterior motives, played the whole world with malice. As for the true God, he is only far away, high above, looking forward to the miracle of creating life, and life for him has nothing to worry about and nothing to hinder.
Happiness is often not in the truth, hidden in blood, and in sin. I only wish to continue to be like Daniel, pretending not to care, to forget, to seize the happiness in front of me, and to survive and live happily.
It turns out that thinking movies are profound, touching the soul and brain. "Watchmen" is not rated very high, but I am willing to give him full marks. Three hours, long and procrastinating, but worth watching again and again.
