Core originality

Rating: 8/10 (20 May 2010)

Simply said. I can find nothing about watchmen to bitch about. It took me through a world view and left me wanting more.
The parallel world of watchmen where Nixon is a defacto Hitler.. is right out of fallout3 game and we all need a mod cons bunker. If you have no imagination or desire to know history. don't watch this.
In its way a revelation. I am asked to produce 10 lines of text.. so i will expand. The movie does not need 10 lines . Like 'To Kill a Mockingbird'.It is a work of art as a whole. A story worth telling. So few movies like this exist.We argue to and fro about aspects of this or that film. But movies like watchmen, Mockingbird, Phenomenon, are art.
"I am not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me"
Now THAT will become a catch aphorism for all the wannabee heroes. Rorschach became real to me with that line. His vigilante stance is now backed by raw power even if his stance leads to destruction he has earned it in willingness to fight any odds. A nice sub text to NUKE war and 'where are we now' all missiles forgiven global warming the enemy.
Mommy.. whats a 'red' and why are they under my bed?
