For those who dont know the intro is to tell the audience how the Watchmen affected history in this movie's universe. Nixon orders JFK's killing by the Comedian and he also ends the war in Vietnam in a few days with Dr.Manhattan, making him insanely powerful.

@tobBabashkin "surely" my understanding of this movie differs from yours. But that doesn't even change the fact, that this movie is f***ing awesome. Besides, i did realize that there is not even one "superhero" in this movie
"But that doesn't even change the fact, that this movie is f***ing awesome"
- Its made well. But still no logic in it: they trying to prevent a nuclear war but they don't realize that the reason is not the "aggressive human nature" but the absence of the Soviet Dr Manhattan and corrupted oligarchic system they made.
"Besides, i did realize that there is not even one "superhero" in this movie"
- Yes, this film is about society. Superheroes are just the setting.
@thargorzz Really? Surely you understand that this movie is not about superheroes.
Its about society when it gets monopoly on superweapon. But the fact is, in that fantasy world headliners in the USA once would say: "Russ have their own Dr. Manhattan, and he glows red".
What a dumbass movie. The logic of the Cold War always stays the same, even in a fantasy world: if the USA developed a superheroes, it means that the USSR has already got its own superheroes.
@applejuice54321 Cold war wasn't just the setting. As Vietnam war and civil unrest in authoritarian USA. How could Nixon be re-elected if society itself wasn't totally corrupted with absolute power of industrial elites after they gained such a monopoloy on superweapon.
If the U.S. have created a Dr.Manhattan and used it for their own political purposes, the USSR definately wouldn't stay outside. Soviets would accept the challenge and created their own Dr.Manhattan.
@tobBabashkin The reason Nixon got elected 3 times is because of his huge success in Vietnam ( Dr. Manhattan ) and his successful cover up of the watergate scandal ( Dr. Manhattan )
"The reason Nixon got elected 3 times is because of his huge success in Vietnam"
- Its the year 1985. Its not the 1973 (end of nam war in our world) and not the 1977 (end of Nixon era if there was no Watergate). Running more that 2 terms is unconstitutional. With monopoly on superweapon (Dr. Manhattan) and corporatocracy USA became police state.
@tobBabashkin I do know for sure that Nixon asked Manhattan to help in Vietnam as it is outlined in the comic as well as the movie. I also looked into this and came to the conclusion that members of the senate and congress were bribed to create an amendment to the constitution that let Nixon run for as many terms as he wanted. When it says on the TV "Nixon elected for third term" that is in 1977 as the riots against vigilantism were going on.
i fucking hated this movie. and before everyone bitches at me for not liking it, calm your tits. let me explain:
first, if you havent read the comics, fuck off. you dont know shit about good stories. this sucks in comparison.
second, the movie forgot what it was trying to do several times. like three times in the movie a full song was played to the backdrop of people walking or superheros taking pictures, it would be decent as viral marketing, but there is NO need for it.
Well I haven't read the comics, but I wont fuck off. I loved the movie because I thought it had a good story. I read Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, A song of Ice and Fire (a few examples), so mayby I don't know good stories, but I do know GREAT stories.
But if you say the comics are much better, I will try to get my hands on them and see for myself if you're right.
And please don't go around and tell random people to fuck off, if they haven't read a comic yet.
@LeinadEstel I saw the first "Lord of the Rings" on the big screen 7X - Peter Jackson got THAT one right (I've been reading Tolkien since I was 9). So movies aren't always inferior to the written form.
I personally LOVE the "Watchmen" movie and wish I HAD seen it on the big screen.
I never said the movies of LotR were bad, I've watched them a few times myself. (although the books are better in my opinion) I just responded to someone that I do know great stories.
Personally I enjoy the movie Watchmen to, but the one I responded to said the comics were better. In general books are better then the movies, so I am curieus about the comics Watchmen, because I expect them to be even better then the movie.
@LeinadEstel I never said you said that - I just wanted to cite an example of a movie fulfilling a written work's vision: Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" did that.
I do think it's pointless to compare written works with cinema on merit - they're apples & oranges. The question that needs to be asked is if a cinematic treatment stays true to or gives a fresh interpretation of a written work.
@jayatfreelance Yeah, the hardcore canon-obsessed fanboy/girls always bitch about perfect minute details and perfect accuracy with the original works, but that really is impossible when translating anything to a movie; some things will always have to be omitted or slightly changed. Watchmen and LoTR are two examples of great movie adaptations though, both are masterpieces in their own respective rights.
In Dc everything exsist with each other so all the hero's in Dc were on the same land but this is during a different time period their for if batman was with watchmen then his parents would've been killed earlier @Ace4929
@Oolliwan14 even the heroes can't be said to be good in The Watchmen.
Captain Metropolis was a racist, Hooded Justice was abusive, The Comedian was an amoral rapist and a self admitted child killer, Ozymandias is a genocidal egomaniac, Dr. Manhattan can barely retain human empathy ...and Rorschach is Rorschach.
completely agree. I love Watchmen for the simple fact that it's a complete psychological cut-down of heroes in general; They're only as good as the world they live in; morally compromised in their own ways, and that the world can often turn a blind eye to it in times of necessity. I wish when i was in school, we got to study Watchmen; there so much to it
Seriously, I think the entire cast is something of how people take prejudices to the extreme and with such power in their hands they fulfill such prejudices...or I am delving too deep into what is essentially a comic book...man I need to cut down on the pot...
Ozymandias wasn't genocidal. Or really an egomaniac. He intentionally got average grades in school, despite the fact that he was absurdly brilliant. He's one of my favorite heroes of all time, because he was brilliant enough to abstain from vanilla morals in favor of the greater good in perhaps the most personally sacrificial way possible.
@Aburaishi You don't have to convince me. Ozymandias is my favourite character, I LOVE Ozymandias.
But you must admit that he is hubris incarnate. Everything he does to project modesty further serves his personal hubris. ie. he gives away his parents money to prove, maybe to himself, that he himself is good enough to make a fortune.
Also a normal person can't make the decision that he did I believe. He sees himself as a transformative peerless figure.
Well here's where it gets tricky- because the trouble is, he IS a transformative learner, he IS good enough to make his own fortune, and, to be perfectly honest, he IS just plain superior to everyone else on the planet. So the question is, can you still consider thinking of yourself as intellectually superior to everyone else (and therefore following your own logic at the general exclusion of others') arrogance... if you actually are intellectually superior to everyone else?
@crazedmongoose03 I think the best historical comparison to Ozymandias is Alexander the Great - another great example of "good intentions paving the road to Hell" . . .
@crazedmongoose03 the point of them all having huge faults is to show that even our greatest heroes have HUGE imperfections that almost balance out their saintliness
@jayatfreelance There's a LOT more to the graphic novel than that.
I mean you're not wrong, but I'm just saying there's heaps of other stuff. Buy the graphic novel, read it twice, it is very dense and not even in the same ballpark as the movie.
@crazedmongoose03 Thanks! One more reason added to the heaps of reasons for me to quit my stupid day job. I am promising myself that one day (hopefully soon) I will . . .
@SirTorment Both Night Owls are pretty much the everyman in a way. Night Owl 2 and Silk Spectre 2 act as more or less the human reference point amongst all these great and terrible men.
@crazedmongoose03 Both didn't hesitate to deceive and manipulate people
silk specture 2 manipulated Dr. Manhattan and Night Owl. While her mother the Original Silk Specture lied about the Comedian I'd elaborate more on the subject but the comments are limited. This is just my opinion by the way take it as you will.
@crazedmongoose03 well, dressing like a whore is one thing, than pretending you dont want the attention is another, how about getting drunk and getting knocked up by the guy that tried to rape you last week? followed by lying and marrying your manager because hes rich
Oh and than her daughters dating a god on earth with a giant blue dick, she goes and fucks his nerd friend rather than sticking out her big meaningful relationship, theyre both manipulative whores
@crazedmongoose03 ...And that's the dark beauty of the movie; It stands as a statement about the immutable law of human nature: No human is perfect, pure, or absolutely righteous, and everyone has layers. Ozymandias IS a genocidal maniac, but on the flip side, the idiotic, slavering masses NEEDED to be tricked into complacency or they would have nuked the planet into extinction anyway within the week.

@EmoFoom The closest historical equivalent was the Kent State shootings. But that wasn't the point of this bit.
If you look more into The Watchmen, you'll realise in this world, the civil rights movement of the 60's, freedom summer etc. were all soundly defeated. This is a world where Nixon's been president for decades, where murdering rapists are considered national heroes, where civil protesters are shot with impunity.
@olegkikin Ha , really interesting fact there glad you pointed it out. I'm also glad that other people realize the sheer brilliance of this intro, I feel like it's underappreciated even if Watchmen was a mainstream movie.
@DOINEIGHT Fidel Castro and what I presume to be the oligarchs of the Soviet Union is there to represent the Cold War of the era. I think the director chose Castro is because not many people would have realized that Brezhnev (?) or any other of the oligarchs and therefore lose the meaning of that scene.
I own the director's cut too, it's the only version of the film worth seeing. Cutting the first N. O.'s death scene robbed the film of its soul, changing it from a film about magnificent triumph in adversity to bland acceptance of mediocrity. The theatrical release is okay but the director's cut is archetypal.
Incredible movie. I bought the directors cut so I could see the animated part of the pirate comic that was cut for time. The Watchmen is one of my favorite graphic novels that was ahead of its time. I was extremely happy to see the material be given the respect it warrents.

I love Watchmen for the simple fact that it's a complete psychological cut-down of heroes in general; They're only as good as the world they live in; morally compromised in their own ways, and that the world can often turn a blind eye to it in times of necessity. I wish when i was in school, we got to study Watchmen; there so much to it

And Rorschach is a sociopath.

@crazedmongoose03 A microcosm of modern society perhaps?
Seriously, I think the entire cast is something of how people take prejudices to the extreme and with such power in their hands they fulfill such prejudices...or I am delving too deep into what is essentially a comic book...man I need to cut down on the pot...

Ozymandias wasn't genocidal. Or really an egomaniac. He intentionally got average grades in school, despite the fact that he was absurdly brilliant. He's one of my favorite heroes of all time, because he was brilliant enough to abstain from vanilla morals in favor of the greater good in perhaps the most personally sacrificial way possible.

@Aburaishi You don't have to convince me. Ozymandias is my favourite character, I LOVE Ozymandias.
But you must admit that he is hubris incarnate. Everything he does to project modesty further serves his personal hubris. ie. he gives away his parents money to prove, maybe to himself, that he himself is good enough to make a fortune.
Also a normal person can't make the decision that he did I believe. He sees himself as a transformative peerless figure.

@crazedmongoose03
Well here's where it gets tricky- because the trouble is, he IS a transformative learner, he IS good enough to make his own fortune, and, to be perfectly honest, he IS just plain superior to everyone else on the planet. So the question is, can you still consider thinking of yourself as intellectually superior to everyone else (and therefore following your own logic at the general exclusion of others') arrogance... if you actually are intellectually superior to everyone else?

@crazedmongoose03 I think the best historical comparison to Ozymandias is Alexander the Great - another great example of "good intentions paving the road to Hell" . . .

@crazedmongoose03 the point of them all having huge faults is to show that even our greatest heroes have HUGE imperfections that almost balance out their saintliness

@crazedmongoose03 I think that's the main point of the movie (and perhaps the graphic novel, which I have yet to read) . . .

@jayatfreelance There's a LOT more to the graphic novel than that.
I mean you're not wrong, but I'm just saying there's heaps of other stuff. Buy the graphic novel, read it twice, it is very dense and not even in the same ballpark as the movie.

@crazedmongoose03 Both didn't hesitate to deceive and manipulate people
silk specture 2 manipulated Dr. Manhattan and Night Owl. While her mother the Original Silk Specture lied about the Comedian I'd elaborate more on the subject but the comments are limited. This is just my opinion by the way take it as you will.

@crazedmongoose03 well, dressing like a whore is one thing, than pretending you dont want the attention is another, how about getting drunk and getting knocked up by the guy that tried to rape you last week? followed by lying and marrying your manager because hes rich
Oh and than her daughters dating a god on earth with a giant blue dick, she goes and fucks his nerd friend rather than sticking out her big meaningful relationship, theyre both manipulative whores

@crazedmongoose03 ...And that's the dark beauty of the movie; It stands as a statement about the immutable law of human nature: No human is perfect, pure, or absolutely righteous, and everyone has layers. Ozymandias IS a genocidal maniac, but on the flip side, the idiotic, slavering masses NEEDED to be tricked into complacency or they would have nuked the planet into extinction anyway within the week.

@EmoFoom The closest historical equivalent was the Kent State shootings. But that wasn't the point of this bit.
If you look more into The Watchmen, you'll realise in this world, the civil rights movement of the 60's, freedom summer etc. were all soundly defeated. This is a world where Nixon's been president for decades, where murdering rapists are considered national heroes, where civil protesters are shot with impunity.

At 4:16, the Moon landing scene, you can hear him say "good luck, mister Gorsky", which is a funny hoax, which unfortunately didn't happen.
Overall, this is the most brilliant movie into ever made. So many historical references, brilliantly filmed and written.

@DOINEIGHT Fidel Castro and what I presume to be the oligarchs of the Soviet Union is there to represent the Cold War of the era. I think the director chose Castro is because not many people would have realized that Brezhnev (?) or any other of the oligarchs and therefore lose the meaning of that scene.

I own the director's cut too, it's the only version of the film worth seeing. Cutting the first N. O.'s death scene robbed the film of its soul, changing it from a film about magnificent triumph in adversity to bland acceptance of mediocrity. The theatrical release is okay but the director's cut is archetypal.
apollion888 1 month ago
Incredible movie. I bought the directors cut so I could see the animated part of the pirate comic that was cut for time. The Watchmen is one of my favorite graphic novels that was ahead of its time. I was extremely happy to see the material be given the respect it warrents.
