It's very related with Watchmen, it's a metaphor for what Ozymandias is going through.

For instance, the sailor's sail that he uses on his boat has a bloodstain similar to that of Rorschach's mask. This is symbolic of Adrian's betrayal in order to gain what he felt as the greater good. In the black freighter, the sailor, driven mad by evil becomes evil in order to combat it. In doing so, he loses all that he holds dear. The same is true of Ozymandias. It's a allegorical story.

um no animated movies are better they dont fuck up shit like transformers the live movie was garbage but the cartoon movie was amazing and animated movies have more plot and story telling then any hollywood flick

@brastmonkey have you seen watchmen the ultimate cut edition? they actually intertwined black freighter into the movie and it worked well. 

[brastmonkey]

tales of the black freighter was never supposed to be stand alone story. it was supposed to be intertwined with the main story to reference Armageddon and the intensifying situation with the soviets in the novel

In the book, I love how you(or just me) felt that Tales of the Black Freighter is Rorschach metaphor ....and it isn't, eventually.

lol too many watchmen experts that watched the movie instead of reading the graphic novel...this animation is amazing..... i mainly enjoy its narrative. and grimness. th whole story within a story idea is great...reminds me of neil gaimens The sandman. he loved telling stories within stories within stories

@Rampagelil Okay jackass being able to use a computer doesn't have anything to do with not being retarded. No they didn't give to shits about jazz you know what they did? They go oh jazz died and they sway his body left and right. Wow that's some great emotion. How about every scene in the real transformers movie where every scene has emotion.

[SuperMicklovin]

@Rampagelil yep I'm retarded that's why I'm on YouTube on a computer i know how to use perfectly right ? yeah I'm retarted because I liked a live action transformers more than some 80's flick that was made b4 i was even born. and if the transformers didn't have emotion they wouldn't have given too shits about earth the human race and the death of jazz

[TheS2pidmuffin]

what up IGN hahahahahahaha

[Rampagelil]

@SuperMicklovin Um are you fucking retarded that was the whole point of transformers that's what made them different infact in the first episode the announcer says robots who can THINK AND FEEL because they had emotion also you obviously never watched that movie because the scene where optimus dies is CLEARLY emotion filled.

[SuperMicklovin]

@Rampagelil neither did the robots in the 1986 flick. robots dont have emotions

[Rampagelil]

@SuperMicklovin It's a long story I'm sick of explaining. I'm gonna cut it short No story the transformers look like shit it should be about the transformers and not the humans and the transformers have no emotion believe me I have many more reasons.
