This year's "Avengers 3", "Venom", "Ant-Man", "Aquaman" and the most recent "Spider-Man 2: Parallel World" can be said to have made superhero fans addicted.
But there has always been a much-maligned place in superhero movies: a single ending and childishness — it's always good defeating evil, and the protagonist's aura is unmatched.
See more endings can be guessed without looking.
But the superhero movie pushed today is different.
Not only is the style of painting different, the plot is not played according to common sense, but it is also set as the R grade of R, which was banned from being released that year...
However, this R-rated movie will be made into a TV series.
It's --
Watchmen I 2009 Douban: 8.3
Maybe some people haven't seen it, but it was an accidental discovery.
The original author of the comic was the famous Alain Moore.
Never heard of it? Then I think another of his masterpieces you should know: "V-Word Vendetta Squad".
And "Watchmen" has also won wide acclaim for its unique style and profound connotations, which Time Magazine called:
"A work of cold psychological realism, it is a monument in the history of graphic novels."
And that's not all: Watchmen is the only Hugo Award-winning comic book in history.
That is, the science fiction award that Liu Cixin won in 2015. Its status speaks for itself.
The movie has six heroes: The Joker, The Ghost, Dr. Manhattan, The Pharaoh, The Night Owl, and Rorschach
None of the people except Dr. Manhattan had superpowers.
Their power is only relative to ordinary people, and without Dr. Manhattan' Marvel and DC, they can destroy them at random.
Dr. Manhattan
As soon as the movie opens, the hero "Laughsmith" is killed.
The face of the murderer could not be seen clearly in the darkness, but the other party was extraordinary, and the elderly and alcoholic "laughing smith" struggled to resist, but he could not resist.
In the end, the "laughing smith" was thrown down by the tall building, and the blood flowed to the ground.
Rorschach then tracks down the truth, but is framed and arrested and imprisoned.
Generations of heroes were subsequently killed.
The Americans were busy manipulating Dr. Manhattan, but Dr. Manhattan was accused and ostracized by people and went to Mars in a rage.
And the rest of the obvious "not doing business", either busy in love or doing business.
What is the government doing at this time? Whether it was the television station or President Nixon who spent all day fighting the Soviet Union, the people were in a state of panic at all times.
(In the film, Nixon was re-elected for four consecutive terms and became a dictator)
Originally, at the beginning, the heroes were in danger, but as the plot developed, the situation seemed to start to improve.
But the ending of this piece simply makes don't forget to collapse...
I originally thought it was a confrontation between superheroes, but I didn't expect that the screenwriter would directly give me a higher connotation - human nature.
The United States could not take advantage of the superheroes, and the Soviet Union was jealous of Dr. Manhattan. The United States and the Soviet Union will eventually reconcile and will join forces against a common enemy, superheroes.
Overall, Watchmen is an extremely special superhero movie.
Its ending was not satisfactory, even tragic. Both the tone and the dubbing are extremely depressing.
They have no superpowers, will be abusive and cheat, and some are still withdrawn antisocial personalities.
But it is precisely because of this that it shows a more admirable heroic spirit:
No matter who I am, as long as I have justice in my heart, I will always raise my fist.
Just like Rorschach in the movie, although he is not tall and handsome, he has a dark personality.
But his spirit of dying to guard justice makes him the heart of the Watchmen, ending with Dr. Manhattan killing him when his ideas contradict people's happiness.
In fact, the so-called hero is not how perfect the image is, but in the courage to speak up for the weak or even sacrifice themselves.
Just like the previous "Indian Heroes", Bavish still insists on the justice in his heart even if he is beaten by people.
In this sense, Watchmen is more real than the average superhero movie.
At that time, I didn't forget that I was very uncomfortable after watching it, and I also lamented whether I could see such a movie in the future.
This is not only a heroic film with a variety of heroes, but also an anti-hero film, but also a film full of reflection and political philosophy.
It is hailed as the pinnacle of another comic book story after Nolan's Batman Trilogy.
