My favorite scene from the book brought to life.

The best lines were missing though:
"Come...dry your eyes, for you are life, rarer than a quark and unpredictable beyond the dreams of Heisenberg; the clay in which the forces that shape all things leave their fingerprints most clearly."

Watchmen (2009)

  • Hello mere mortals

    Look at yourself, now back to me, now back at yourself, now back to me! Sadly, you're not me. But if you had been caught in an intrinsic field remover, you could be me. Look down, back up. Where are you? You're on mars, with the man you worship as god. What's in your hand? Back at me! I have it. It's some moles of oxygen, that thing you need. Look again. The oxygen is now diamonds! Anything is possible when you are Dr. Manhattan. I'm on the sun.

  • @mzgemini0006 A thermodynamic miracle is an event so unlikely, it's effectively impossible, such as oxygen spontaneously becoming gold. What Jon means here is that we were conceived entirely by coincidence, by nature. The fact that our parents met to conceive us, and that their parents met to concieve them, etc. to create us as an entirely unique individual is, ironically, almost impossibly miraculous and therefore each individually a thermodynamic miracle. He means life is miraculous.

  • @theKocourMikes jimi Hendrix - along the watch tower

  • @powerrangersr theres no reason for words like that

  • @powerrangersr ok nvm he says oxygen the first time, air the second. everybody's a winner

  • @powerrangersr no he said oxygen ya bum

  • @TheNamelessCharacter He said air into gold. Not oxygen.

  • It is very true that each life is so unique that the chances of any one of them occurring again is longer than the Universe has been around. Even a twin or a clone will be unique in there on way, to be honest no body really understands totally how humans are like they are. Really we shouldn't be this unique, I mean electrons are electrons, hydrogen is hydrogen any where in the universe, yet we are made of these things and still unique. It's cool and strange to think about.

  • and this gentlemen.... is how you get laid
