Movies about comic book style heroes have been around as long as they've been making movies. Superman, Spiderman, and Batman are some classics that have entertained millions of people around the world. These movies all have one thing in common. The good guys are clearly good, and the bad guys are clearly bad. But what happens when you blur the line between good and bad in a superhero? The result is a movie called "Watchmen." Based on the highly acclaimed graphic novel, this movie introduces the idea of what happens when real people struggle with real human emotions as super heroes.Our story follows a parallel world, seemingly close to our own. Some things are obviously different, we see Nixon winning three terms as a president, and we see the United States clearly winning the Vietnam Conflict, instead of slinking away in defeat. The story follows the path of a group of heroes starting with their inception shortly after World War II. The story jumps around through time, and has a stunning story to tell.At one point, he government has decided that this group has grown too powerful, and must be disbanded, by hook or by crook. A while has past without any activity from them, until one by one they start ending up beingarticleed. One prominent member of the group decides it is up to him to get to the bottom of all this. And in doing so he must contact the other members of the now defunct group of protectors of humanity.During these flashbacks, we learn that these heroes are far from the shining image we are used to in our caped crusaders. Some of them are downright vicious, and they even question the power that they hold over others. We are shocked to discover that these so called heroes have participated in all sorts of heinous crimes. But do they have a sufficient reason for all of this?As a backdrop to this story is the growing threat of nuclear war. That much is just as dangerous to the movie world as it is in real life. And the shocking secret behind the articles is something we don't realize until the very end of the movie. Something that makes us question the old adage of the ends justifying the means. Is it OK to article one person to protect a thousand? Is it ok toarticle a thousand to protect one million?These are some of the real life but necessary questions our heroes must face. You may not agree with the decisions they make, but the path they take along the way proves to be a masterpiece of action filled story telling. If you haven't seen "Watchmen," we highly recommend it, as once you do, you will never think of a superhero in the same way. |
