To this day, "Watchmen" is still the most in-depth superhero movie, in which the superheroes have flesh and blood, and although Rorschach wears a trench coat and a mask, he is short and strong enough, but his uncompromising principle is countless fans. Rorschach's iconic items in the comics and movies are masks on his face that will change with mood.
In the earlier Watchmen series of comics, there was a fairly detailed explanation of Rorschach's mask origins and how it worked.
The redhead in the movie restores the manga
Walter Kovacs, the rorschach, quite value his mask and even regard it as his own face, he calls the mask "my face" instead of using words like mask, Rorschach values the mask that can bring him courage and determination because of his tragic childhood experience, in the comics Rorschach's childhood is unfortunate, his father is missing, his mother is a prostitute, and even more tragic is that his mother does not like Rorschach and even directly curses Rorschach for her ugly face, and his mother regrets giving birth to Rorschach.
Rorschach placed great importance on masks
In 1956, at the age of sixteen, Rorschach came to the garment company to work as a low-level worker, and in 1962, Rorschach was first exposed to the fabrics he later made masks, and that year Rorschach received a strange clothing order, which asked for a skirt, and the fabric of the skirt was extremely special - between the two layers of latex was a viscous liquid, sensitive to temperature and pressure, and the black and white in the cloth did not merge, but affected each other's constant movement. Interestingly, the person who customized the skirt later thought that the dress was too ugly, but Rorschach did not think so, Rorschach made this cloth into a mask through eager tools, but at this time Rorschach only threw the mask in the corner, or Rorschach did not take the mask as his own face.
Rorschach was short in stature
Two years later, Rorschach discovered through the newspaper that the woman who had customized the dress had been brutally murdered, and although there were many onlookers, everyone just watched the woman being tortured to death, and no one even wanted to call the police. The woman's death stung Rorschach deeply, and Rorschach recognized the true face of human beings - weakness and selfishness, all kinds of excuses.
Rorschach rummaged through the mask that had been left in the corner and saw it as his true face, and Rorschach's mask was born. In the film, Rorschach's mask pattern changes to become his main means of emotional expression.
