Watchmen - Rorschach's Death - HD

[danhair]

This is one of the most epic philosophical moment in a superhero movie. What people need to understand is that Rorschach and Doctor Manhattan are still heroes fighting for their beliefs and philosophies to the very end: Rorschach is holding on to his ideal of truth, that people need to know what is happening to the world so they can be free to take action themselves, the Doctor fights for Humanity to protect them even if it means it must be in the shadows and Rorschach understands this.

[OMFGMist]

One question if some could answer this it would be great but WHERE THE FUCK IS RORSCHACH GOING. Does he plan to walk from the Arctic?

[DarkPhoenixRising]

This movie sucks so bad............

[rinraiden]

I love how, with the knowledge of his pending death, Rorschach was not above fear. He was trembling, he was afraid. For that moment, Rorschach became Walter, and he was afraid to die. But upon sensing Manhattan's hesitation, he held back his own fear, become Rorschach again and ordered him to finish it.

[MyKCchiefs]

@rinraiden Yeah and I love (from a cinematic point of view) the look in Manhatten's eyes when he realizes that Rorschach isn't going to back down because he knows that he's right. But to defened what he (Dr. Manhatten) thinks he's going to have to kill Rorschack. I still hate Manhatten though, he got convinced from the dickhead blonde Adrian that lying to gain world peace was ok which inadvertantly leads to Rorschach's death

[MyKCchiefs]

@rinraiden Oh and I'm not arguing with you, but to me it seems like he's trembling more out of anger and sorrow that he can't live on without lying and giving up his legacy for justice, which he wouldn't ever do, so he just decides to die for his legacy rather than live for nothing

[luvwerewolfs]

Wait, im confused. Why didnt Dr. Manhattan kill him?

[DGould2210]

what a way to go...splash into a puddle of ink :/ 

[ValentineWolfe666]

hmm... anyone else thing the guy who plays Rorschach, could play an older version of Jason Todd? you know the Red Hood, Batman's former sidekick, who now has his own comic series? eh i think their a lot alike. Rorschach and Jason.

[TheBettneyBomb]

'Whats on more body amongst the foundations ?'- The ideal humanity is built upon...

[ecsthetic]

Libertarian vs. Utilitarian

[CrazyMrCrash]

FUCK HUMAN BITCH, IF THEY DON't MAKE FUCKING WAR,

RORSCHACH WON"T DIE !

[11irishblood]

why cant nightowl die instead of rorschach

[NillyFmusic]

@11irishblood because nightowl doesn't have the balls to stand for what he belives in.

[MyKCchiefs]

@NillyFmusic And that's what Rorschach said earlier in the seen, "Never compromise, not even in the face of Armagedon, that's the difference between you and me, Daniel."

[SirBurstify]

wtf is this movie

[JankyToe]

@SirBurstify

Wow, really?

[brandondash]

Sorry, but I side with Ozymandias and Manhattan on this one. :[

[MegaDev1n]

i now and forever will HATE dr.manhatten

[Candystripedshredder]

Phil Hellmuth @ 2:01

ANOTHER QUEEN-TEN?!

[FilmNeoNoir]

@Candystripedshredder soo true lol

[crazyhead217]

i dont really understand y he had to die??

[falsepod]

@crazyhead217 because he's a true hero. even in the face of death he was unwilling to lay aside his principles. it was either dr. manhatten kills him, or he goes on his way to tell the world of veidt's plans. rorshach is the epitiome of the unsung hero. he died for the world, and not a single person would know (night owl doesn't see him die in the comic)

[P00PD0G89]

I was disappointed after reading the novel, Rorschach died alone and no one seemed to give a shit. Imo the level of emotion, if ever so slight, brought to this scene by Nite Owl made the film version seem more complete I think.

[Andyp12]

@P00PD0G89 I agree completely. I found this ending much more satisfying than the novel.

I also preferred the use of equipment replicating Dr Manhattan's power to be much better than a silly psychic squid, even though neither is less sci-fi than the other.

But in the context of the Watchmen world, it does make a lot more sense as a plan.

[jjzgamer]

@P00PD0G89 I think that was kind of the point of his death in the book though. He was alone in his opinions and would not compromise. He was the only real hero of the group and therefore died a forgotten death. Think of all the real heroes in our time who had the same happen in the military or in other heroic acts. I was not against Nite Owl being in the scene (I actually mostly agree his inclusion was nice), but it could have been executed better to keep that lone death idea intact.

[tacovshotdog]

@P00PD0G89 But thats the brilliance of it,rorschach died like he said everyone would,and him being punished for not betraying his ideals paints the grim world that mr.Moore was trying to paint.

[MrRo330]

Yep Rorscach and Nightowl. Tho, Nightowl didn't do that much in the movie I like how he cheered up Rorschach whenever he could (because he was his FRIEND) and Nightowls scream at the end didn't really seem like acting. Almost like it was real?

I think that's why we go to the movies.

[Shadowcipher104]

The only badass super hero is dead now.....people are considering Superman badass.

Rorschach will beat that tight wearing pussy any day.

Rorschach > Superman

Rorschach, you will be missed.

[RotaryPoweredRX]

@Shadowcipher104 forever alone.

[vince15mohammad]

Dr. Manhattan u bastard..sniff...u killed him snifff 8,(

[Redrobin1301]

Rorschach should have died diferently. Just sayin.

[bryan050593]

what do you see? a skull or an angel?

[jimbobhk2009]

@bryan050593 it's actually laurie and dan kissing

[THExxxMEANxxxCRITIC]

Most powerful scene of the movie.

[fantastic097]

why the hell did Rorschach want to die someone answer that for me please

[strife93]

@fantastic097 You're on the internet, just watch the whole movie.

[TheKingOfRuckus]

@fantastic097 He was the last true "hero" of this dysfunctional team, the only one who couldn't accept what Ozymandias had done to "save" the world.

He didn't want to die, Doctor Manhattan needed to kill him. Rorschach would have stopped at nothing to tell the world what happened.

In the end, the decision is left up to the viewer. Does Rorschach's journal make the paper, or does it sit in the bin for all eternity?

[AutumnViewer]

@TheKingOfRuckus so dr. manhattan is like the liberal agenda, and rorschach's journal is like the republican party?

[XTREAMWARFARE]

@fantastic097 well mostly for the things hes done the people who died because of him his life as a chlid plus his was crzy and he wanted it it to stop is what i think your welcome.

[zmarsella]

why must the cool die young

[MegaMaximus95]

yeah they can show a blue alien dick, but not hot pornstars -.-

[jimbobhk2009]

@MegaMaximus95 he's not an alien

[MegaMaximus95]

@jimbobhk2009 still, u know my point :S

[ZADER4427]

"Never compromise, not even in the face of Armageddon" R.I.P. Rorschach

[Stigmatainmypants]

Upon first viewing (or reading!) i think everyone sympathizes with Rorschach. He was our conduit into the story, and received the most screentime.  However, upon repeated viewings, i start to sympathize with all of the characters. I'm to the point now where my two favourites are the Comedian and Veidt. These two were the only two that REALLY understood the problem, and did the most to serve and protect humanity.

[semcorda]

@Stigmatainmypants

For me it is impossible to sympathize with Blake. The reason is that he was not only cynical, he was simply evil. Laughing at the rotten face of the world is one thing, and it could even be considered a cool character feature, but being a part of it, is something completly different.

Being cynical does not justify killing a president or shooting preagnant woman in the face.

[Keyce96]

Angry goran says nooooo?

[barransz]

the pattern of his scattered corpse is also the last pattern seen on rorschach's mask.

[NFaMuSSKillZ]

this shit was the saddest thing ive ever seen

[grindorblackout1986]

@NFaMuSSKillZ hoo boy...then don`t look into Rorschach`s childhood. That`s some kind of fucked up and sad

[agent47rafas]

wow his blood was shaped like his mask :O

[thethesaurus]

funnily enough... @2:11 I see a butterfly :P

[yogs0th0th]

You do realize pointing out, that a video named along the lines of "Character X's Death", contains spoilers is completely redundant, right?

[Themadhorse]

@yogs0th0th Do you even know what redundant means? And this movie has been out for, like what? A few years?

Stupid.

[yogs0th0th]

@Themadhorse I do, but you obviously don't. And hmm yes, it's been out for a while...

Well, Casablanca has been out for almost 70 years and I'm pretty sure a lot of people, myself included, haven't seen it. Kinda puts a dent in your theory of "if a movie has been out for a while, everyone must have seen it."

[Themadhorse]

@yogs0th0th The only ones who know who the watchmen is, are those who reads comics. And they have probably seen the movie already. Why would someone search for Rorschachs death if they don't even know who Rorchach is?

And Redundant means meaningless/pointless

[carsonm300]

not as goood as books

[comicshaun07]

I pretty much had the same reaction as Nightowl.

[PaulThePuppetier]

@comicshaun07 me too

[enocescalona]

@comicshaun07

me to "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

[souldragon121]

not going to lie i was pissed after this still a good movie though

[usernameDOGS]

@souldragon121 why did you get pissed???..he dies in the novel..i would of been pissed if they didnt include this scene

[souldragon121]

@usernameDOGS i never read the novel might pick it up and i was pissed cause he was the best character =p

[usernameDOGS]

@souldragon121 oh ok,yea if you read the novel before you saw the film ,his death came as no suprise..agreed rorschach was plain badass and the best character in the film

[souldragon121]

@usernameDOGS i never read the novel might pick it up and i was pissed cause he was the best character =p also i was pissed that veidt only got punched in the face a few times should have been killed

[chepeb12]

i see this scene before looking at the movie, almost cried looking rorschach death. watchmen it's an epic movie

[manoblet]

why? WHYYYYYYY, he had to die :/

[TBAGNFACEFUKER]

"Without condoning...or condemning...I understand."

Perfect way to describe how I feel about Veidt's actions..

[Gigaspine7]

Notice how the bloodstain is almost completely symmetrical.

[feladir123]

rorschach proves that gingers do have souls. (or he is the only one :P)

[AlgorithmicCrane]

@feladir123 How can one tell if you have a soul? I'm a ginger... In fact people tell me I look like Rorschach. Not sure if I have a soul or I have to earn it...

[feladir123]

@AlgorithmicCrane it's just an joke of south park , everyone have a soul of course

[AlgorithmicCrane]

@feladir123 I know, just going along with it.

[Tigerlilly0777]

@AlgorithmicCrane It's a joke from SouthPark. :/

[Iamgueneapig]

@feladir123 he is the only one.

[feladir123]

@Iamgueneapig lol you think xD ?

[zcgbb22]

thanks for the vid. great scene!

[legofrea3]

I got a few questions , I hope someone can give me the answers

(1)What is this movie about?

(2)Why did Rorschach have to die?

[Stigmatainmypants]

@legofrea3 1) Basically, it's a whodunit. In a world where vigilantes have been outlawed and all former superheroes either work for the government or are retired, somebody appears to be trying to kill ex-superheroes. Rorschach begins an investigation into the matter, and the movie goes from there.

2) That really reveals A LOT about the plot of the story. Do you really want to know?

[DJcrackbitch]

@legofrea3 1) like Stiqmatainmypants said is right.

2) he cared about the people and didnt want to be a villain by killings millions to save others. He wanted to do so that he didnt want to live with this though of being responsible for deaths of millions.

[eddfredandkyle]

@legofrea3 1 its about superheros

and 2 the awesomness superhero died because the director dosent care about us crying

[RedDragonAutobot97]

@legofrea3 1) it is about someone killoing off ex superheroes and the remaining watchmen trying to find out who it is

2) he died because thats what happened in the comics
