Yep, definitely a graphic representation of a hydrogen atom, symbolic of the Nuclear Age in general and evocative of the Manhattan Project's hydrogen bombs.
@@Nastyn1nja808 LOL! I actually wrote that at the end of my post, but edited it out, because it seemed condescending tacked on the end. Thank you for the follow up, that works -- my words exactly!
1) It's frustrating, knowing this Brilliant movie, listing to your questions during the opening credits, and knowing that the credits/montage will answer those questions, IF you just let it roll uninterrupted. You have a need to solve the puzzle of unaswered questions in films, and do not seem to have the patience to wait and see if the film will answer those questions for you. Films usual DO answer these questions, and that is part of the enjoyment of a mystery in a story: you get to follow along with the storyteller/director/camera as you both find the answers together. 2) 11:41 this shot is the reverse of Orson Wells & Gregg Toland's famous "El Rancho Sign Shot". The sign is built in two pieces, and as the camera moves back, the two parts are slid together seamlessly. 3) 24:18 the symbol Dr Manhattan draws on his forehead is the atomic structure of Hydrogen, the most abundant chemical substance in the universe, and the only thing he "respects". Note: The movie is (for the most part) beautifully faithful to the source material, right down to many of the individual shots. But the ending was changed (for simplicity, and I am saddened by it. In the Graphic novel, Ozymandias has his scientists create a giant 'space alien" that teleports to NYC, and dies. But in it's death throes, it telepathically informs humanity of it's specie's plan to invade the Earth (and 2 million New Yorkers dies from the telepathic blast). THAT unites the governments of Earth. ....And Dr. Manhattan is NOT vilified.
29:11 Rorschach being the abused child of a sex worker, no way he was gonna let that dude walk. His monologue after ending that dude in the book is just chilling. Prior to that moment he was only Kovacs pretending to be Rorschach.
Watchmen was written by Alan Moore in 1986 & released by DC as a comics book 1st. No comic has had a bigger impact since. It has been an inspiration for so much that that the list of those who used it as a foundation can almost not be counted. The movie was a late addition to its fame but even without it the status as a classic was already set. And of corse The Boys would not exist if it hadn't come 1st.
"This has to be where they got the idea for "The Boys" from." Pretty much, yeah. Watchman was the first major deconstruction of superheroes, 1986 and is considered a comic classic, this is a pretty direct adaptation. The Boys started in 2006 and is more a slapstick parody, the Amazon series is a substantial departure and improvement.
very glad to see a post. great review with thoughtful commentary. i always enjoy the way you speak to shot and lenses. not just letting the movie play like “someone” is apparently suggesting.
One of, if not, the best "superhero" movie. I love the analysis and critique of humanity. I like the characters, I want to hear more about what they think, how they work!
the Watchmen turned superheroes on its head in th 80s. this graphic novel, along with Frank Millers Dark Knight, changed the way the mainstream viewed comics.
Fuck yeah lets go! One of the more faithful comic adaptations imo, they had to leave things out of course but what's here is pretty spot on. Love JEH as Rorschach!
The timeline isnt weird. The timeline in the opening credits depicts various events involving the watchmen/minutemen from near their inception to the time the movie is set in, 1985. It's chronological and shows well known events and people that characterize specific eras in the US beginning in the 40s.
45:28, Alan Moore’s final scene with Night Owl and Silk Spectre II in Antarctica was so much more poignant. The shock of so many deaths greatly troubled both of them. So they did the most life affirming thing two people in love could do.
I love this movie. I hear the Darkhorse graphic novel is even more dense with details, historic references, psychological dynamics, and subplots. There is a major cult following.
@@technofilejr3401 I had thought it was both, printed as a comic by DC, published as a graphic novel by Darkhorse. But I was wrong. Watchmen. New York, DC Comics. Moore, Alan, 1953-, Dave Gibbons and John Higgins, Watchmen. New York, DC Comics, 1987, 2014
The characters in the Watchmen comic book, created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, were originally intended to be based on existing superheroes from Charlton Comics, a comic book publisher that DC Comics acquired in 1983. However, DC decided to integrate those characters into their mainstream universe, so Alan Moore was asked to create original characters instead. The change allowed Moore more creative freedom to explore darker, more complex themes. The final characters in Watchmen-such as Rorschach, Doctor Manhattan, and Nite Owl-were heavily inspired by the Charlton characters but were distinct enough to offer new narratives and thematic depth. For instance, Rorschach was based on The Question, Doctor Manhattan on Captain Atom, and Nite Owl on Blue Beetle. This shift from using the established Charlton heroes allowed Moore to delve into more psychological, moral, and philosophical issues without being bound by the history or expectations of existing superhero characters. Watchmen became a deconstruction of the superhero genre, exploring how real-world issues, flawed morality, and power could corrupt these iconic figures.
November 4th, 2023 today a streamer broadcast a great story, as I take my lunch with questions in the air, it seems like it will be a good rainy day. Lunch was good, lack of coffe 17:58 the whole speech between Nite Owl and the Comedian is a raw reality we are dealing with right now. The dream is gone....many years gone 24:12 "If I am going to have a symbol, it shall be one I respect" the symbol in Dr Manhattan's forehead is the atomic symbol of hydrogen. 43:02 that is the most powerful insult you can ever hear
Such a great story. I read the TPB when I was young and couldn't wait to see this film. I'm not the rush out and see it type normally either but it was different. Above all else the type of story that makes you think and ask questions even after you saw the story is a story done right.
Yep. Alan Moore called it on Rorschach and his fans. I mean we see those same people worshopping an orange masked person today: "In spite of giving the masked figure an "abhorrent personality", Moore admits that he failed to realize "people in the audience would find such a figure admirable". Moore even describes his surprise when he discovered Watchmen had a large, right-wing fanbase. In his boldest declaration, Moore says that if his stories can be that misinterpreted "it does make you wonder what the point of doing it was"."
@@chrisbeyond1879 I had to go and throw in my ultimate cut just now in the background because it's a great film I don't care what the haters say about it, and our boy that played worship just owned the part!! Jackie even did the "Hrrm"brilliant and I even love the HBO miniseries where we actually got to see the squid destruction!!!
I'm sure someone else got to this before i did so i am sorry if i am offering redundant info haha, but the shot at the funeral with the sign where the camera goes through the hole? The sign itself is CGI, added in post. Such a cool shot!
Great film but slightly different from the comic. I love that 16mins in and you still think Dr.Manhatten is an alien. The jail scene with Rorschach is classic and you left out the kitchen scene!... Alan Moore had had “beef” with several big publishers - one of which was DC, whom he left to join independent comic book makers WildStorm.
I think you can just stop after Alan Moore has beef, I don’t think he’s ever been ok with any adaptation, when you think your a wizard beef is inevitable though
15:38 Who said Dr. Manhattan was an alien? I remember seeing Watchmen comics in the shop back in 1985. I never thought for a second he was an alien. I just figured he was just another superhero. A few years later I actually read the graphic novel compilation so I was aware of these characters before seeing this movie. You are the first person I’ve ever heard of thought Jon was an alien.
The first time he is introduced is in the opening collage, where he is shaking hands with Kennedy. When I first saw the movie, I took it to mean that 'first contact' was made during Kennedys' term and since they followed with the Kennedy assasination with Comedian, I took the Moon Landing scene to mean that the US got to the Moon with the help of aliens.
to be fair... Mr Boyd is a Trekkie and Stargate fan... 96% of all the aliens he's seen have been just plain people of an unusual color with something going on with their forehead of course he though Dr Manhattan was an alien lol
Adapted from a legendary comic series in the mid 80's. Many have said it couldn't be filmed, but I think Snyder & Co made a real good attempt at it. As an adaptation it's pretty solid; there's one big change- instead of making the world think Manhattan went rogue, they create a giant psychic squid that causes mass destruction, which unites the world against it. I think the movie choice is much more elegant and works better (although you could argue Manhattan is too familiar and wouldn't unite the world as easily as a giant alien squid). I think the film is great, but reviews for this one are strange; very divisive.
It's been at least a decade since I've seen this but, if I remember correctly, Dr. Manhattan was/is human. He was exposed to exstreme amounts of radiation (hence the name - Manhattan Project). Those ears? I just assumed he spent way too much time playing 2nd Row on sandy Rugby pitches. (Cauliflower Ear).
People like to divide up into "Us" and "Them." There are any number of ways we decide to make that division, but it always involves creating sides and then demonizing whichever one we aren't on to some extent. It's like we think that in order to have allies we have to have enemies. It can be a division by country, race, political affiliation, or in this case, human versus post human state of existence. By making Dr. Manhattan "Them," Ozymandias managed to make all of humanity "Us." At least for a little while.
The war room was the war room from Dr Strangelove. Dr Manhatan"s logo is the hydrogen atom. There are no heroes, just less bad guys. love love love the movie but more love for the graphic novel.
Love this movie. The TV show HBO did is interesting. Unrelated to the comic books but a respectsble story to tell utilizing the world it takes place in.
It's funny you mentioned The Boys. In Watchmen you see in the background a lot graffiti posing a question. Who watches the watchmen? When the Boys was starting as a comic, one of it's premises was to answer the question. Who watches the watchmen? The Boys do.
Is it possible to make a movie from Allen Moore's work that goes by the source material and don't piss him off when they make it, I don't think so, cause this movie didn't go by the source material, dozens of main characters not included, and unless you know the ending I won't spoil it but a giant squid was involved
Damn it Boyd....of all the people who would react to this movie and plot line yours was the only take I was interested in seeing and the video cuts off at the beginning of your take.....wtf man.....where's the rest?
35:17 Ozymandias is both the villain and the hero of this story. He ends millions of lives to save billions of more. A truly twisted mind to be sure. However, in the graphic novel he didn’t nuke multiple cities, instead Ozymandias fakes an alien interdimensional invasion. The how of it is a long story that I won’t tell. But the threat of this invasion prevents World War III and unites the human race. I truly wish Zack Snyder had kept that ending.
Much like most of Zack Snyders work, people get lost and then refuse to try and figure out the intricate and complicated story lines and plot points. Then proceed in bashing and hating Zack Snyder calling his movies garbled messes. This Masterpiece and BvS are usually most Zack Snyder haters examples of that. When you watch Thor love and thunder and guardians movies then try to watch a movie like this you will get lost because it’s not made for 12 year olds
I'd like to see you watch V for Vendetta. I feel you'd give great commentary. Also if you watch anime, I'd suggest Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Let's all enjoy our day thoroughly.
I was bummed to find out that in the comic book, all the heroes have no real powers, except for Dr. Manhattan. I thought they had a little bit of power, which would explain their strength and speed, but NOPE. No powers. I like this version better.
Comedian (which is USA and army) killed vietnamese woman (which is Vietnam) with the baby (which is an idea planted by USA to vietnamese people) and Manhattan (which is also USA) couldn't do anything with it

2. In the cemetery gate shot the sign is CGI, that’s how they did it.

i'm pretty sure the mark on his head is the atomic nucleus of hydrogen. a single electron orbiting a single proton.
yeah, he/DM actually mentions that in a scene somewhere, not sure if he missed it (I don't think that scene is particular to any one version)
It's the Bohr model of hydrogen, yes.

I think the symbol on Dr. Manhattan's forehead is a hydrogen atom.

There are any number of ways we decide to make that division, but it always involves creating sides and then demonizing whichever one we aren't on to some extent.
