Read the original comic/graphic novel. It's slightly different but also fills in the holes and answers the questions you have. It's probably one of the best comic stories ever.
Part of the schtick with Doctor Manhattan was the more he lost his humanity the less he cared about wearing clothes as they were irrelevant to him. Excepting for when he first rebuilt his body after the accident in the chronology he would wear clothes and less as time went on. Only wearing them later for his tv interview
24:51 My interpretation was that, while Dr. Manhattan can see the future, he doesn't concentrate on it all the time. I imagine it is kind of like having a can of soup in a cabinet, and then only remembering you have it when you happen to open the cabinet door.
The graphic novel is _the_ best graphic novel of all time, and an amazing novel in general. The movie partially succeeds at capturing its vibe, especially in terms of being immersed in the mindspace of the mid 20th century on a serious psychological level.
So you figure it's better to go ahead and have the nuclear Armageddon than to let Dr. Manhattan take the blame for the destruction that just happened, even though there's no way he can be captured or punished?
Nice. A really really good movie adaptation of an incredible comic book. This book set the stage for the comic "Powers" (2000) which was brilliant, and adapted into an unappreciated TV show., which in turn set the stage for "The Boys" (2006), and we all know how that went...
The ending in this was a bit different from the comic, but I prefer this ending because it's a little easier to grasp for casual viewers. Overall it does a really good job following the main story and even has tons of scenes that are pretty much shot for shot of what happened in the comic. And in terms of the ending, Dr. Manhattan essentially took the blame and became the "enemy" because it essentially brings about world piece. The US and Soviets were on the brink of nuclear war, but after this they were willing to put aside differences because they viewed an even greater threat. A real life example of this would be right after September 11. The aftermath of that had people from every walk of life coming together, helping, and supporting each other. It didn't matter a person's race, ethnicity, economic class, etc. The only thing that mattered was that everyone came together after such an awful event. And as someone commented...V for Vendetta would be an amazing watch if you haven't seen that yet. It's done by the same guy who did the comics and, in my opinion, is a work of art with some great acting and action.
The writer (Alan Moore) created Rorschach as a satirical comment on extreme right wing conservatism with abhorrent behavior and a fanatical devotion to black & white thinking. Zach Snyder seems to have misunderstood this, and portrayed Rorschach in a more sympathetic light ("they got what they deserved"). Alan Moore said that if his stories can be THAT misinterpreted "it does make you wonder what the point of doing it was."
They explain Adrian's cat and Rorschach's mask in the graphic novel. If memory serves me right when Dr. Manhattan showed up there were a lot of new inventions including in the field of genetics (which created the cat or lynx named Bubastis) and in fabrics as well (the mask). The mask has its own story which connects with a real life case which inspired Rorschach to become a masked vigilante (being mindful of spoilers in case you will read the graphic novel). Have you watched 300 (2006)? That is another Zack Snyder movie also based on a graphic novel. It is very cool and stylistic which Snyder always does best.
What the story does very well is challenge the idea of what a "hero" is. You keep labeling Adrien as a villain. Is he really? All the heroes have or represent different ideologies of being a hero. For Adrien the ends justify the means. For Rorschach, the ends don't justify the means. What i like about it is Adrien didn't always feel that way. He came to the realization from the Comedian, which is why his role is pretty important in the story. He's the one in on the "joke" because they are called heroes but there is never an end to the war and killing, its all used in justification to promote self interests. I liked the film and thought it did a good job, particularly with Dan's reaction to Rorschach's ending. I felt that was more realistic and human versus in the graphic novel he just walks off to hump Silk Spectre. But they should have included the original graphic novel's last line where Adrien asks Dr Manhattan if what he did was right? And Dr Manhattan respond "In the end, nothing ends, Adrien, nothing ever ends".
Watchmen was originally a graphic novel (actually it was a 12-issue limited series of comic books) by writer Alan Moore and artist Dave Gibbons published in 1986-87. It is considered a masterpiece and one of the high points of super-hero comic books. (In 2005, Time magazine included Watchmen as the only graphic novel on their "All-Time 100 Greatest Novels" list.) It was published by DC comics, but it does not take place in the "DC Universe". (Actually, if I'm not mistaken, what happened was DC had acquired the rights to publish super-heroes from a lesser known publisher called Charlton Comics. Writer Alan Moore put together a proposed story using the Charlton characters. They did not move ahead with the original proposal, but they liked it enough that they wanted to go ahead but using all new characters.) If you're at all interested in reading graphic novels/comic books (and it looks like you do like to read, judging by the pile of books behind you), Watchmen is one of the most important and well-respected works out there. It takes full advantage of the medium - what I mean is, there are some things that could only be done in a comic book. For instance, there is one issue titled "Fearful Symmetry" where symmetry is the recurring theme and is a prevalent plot point throughout the issue. The page and panel layout of the entire issue is completely symmetrical with the first page mirroring the last, the second page mirroring the second to last, etc.
The ending in this was a bit different from the comic or the tv series were Dr.Manhattan isn't labeled the villain at the end but he does leave earth kinda. and a couple good movies for you to watch are V For Vendetta and Upgrade you'll like them
No one had super powers, except Doctor Manhattan. They were just people who had trained to be at their physical peak. Interestingly, when Alan Moore (the author of the original graphic novel) pitched the idea to DC, he planned to use existing characters. DC had recently purchased a rival company called Charlton Comics and hadn't yet decided what to do with its characters. You can see echoes of those characters in Night Owl (vaguely similar to Blue Beetle), Doctor Manhattan (Captain Atom), Rorschach (The Question) etc. DC refused to let him use those characters, as it thought it might want to fold them into the DC universe at some point (which it has since done). Moore therefore created his own characters and, of course, put his own unique spin not just on them, but on the entire superhero genre. The graphic novel is a masterpiece, both in its ideas and its use of language. Zack Snyder stuck very closely to the source material, and so many of the best lines in this movie are taken directly from the book.
When that music starts for Dr.Manhattan’s origin. Gives me chills every time. Love that whole scene
V For Vendetta is another comic movie by the same original author. It's also a dark alternate universe tale.
Fantastic movie and quite prophetic of what was the then future....
17:55 Rorschach: None of you seem to understand. I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with *ME*🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wait... you think Nixon was president in the 80s? 😐
Watchmen is listed in the top 100 of greatest American literature works ever, it was deemed unfilmable but Snyder killed it

"What did she identify to recognise him?" I had to stop the video i was laughing so hard .:)
did the bad guy really won? mutual destruction via nuke was averted with that sacrifice move

Nixon resigned in 1974. In this movie we saw Nixon in office in the 80s, an alternate comic book reality
So you figure it's better to go ahead and have the nuclear Armageddon than to let Dr. Manhattan take the blame for the destruction that just happened, even though there's no way he can be captured or punished?
Yep. Because what is humanity without principles? Just animals. Earth already has those.
The bad guy wins in SE7EN
...I have to say this once. Man. Your girlfrind is unreal beautiful.

the truth was revealed in the end, the whole truth is in Rorschach's Jornal
The cinematography is fantastic
