Watchmen:Comedian-Laugh to Human Instinct

The last character of Watchmen that I would review is the Comedian. Comedian is the superhero that should be Villian! Why? If you saw Watchmen the movie and saw his behaviors including try to Rape Spectre I, try to Shot/Burn anti-superhero group of people and Kill pregnant girl!, you must not thinking of him as superhero anymore. However, he still has some superhero side.
After I saw the whole movie, I think that the Comedian is the patriot soldier because he always do the jobs for the US government without question. But, at the same time, he always do something bad without repentance. The movie told us that the Comedian is the one who know the True Face of Human Society and Human Instinct. That may be why his poster has the quote "We're Society's Only Protection". He may believe that the one who can protect society must be the one who know all about the real face of human being.
I think the movie try to told us that the Comedian believe about the raw, violence and spoil instinct of all human being, and that should be the reason why he always do bad violent actions...He just want to beat the violent mind with fear or More violence! And, He may release his raw instinct actions because of this belief too.

Watchmen:Silk Spectre II- a Lonely Girl

In my opinion, Silk Spectre II is the only one who really far away to be a superhero. She is just a normal woman who need Love and Attention. She has a bad background on her mother's couple life (Silk Spectre I), and, I think that is why she needs someone who really care her.
In Watchmen the movie, I think Spectre is the symbol of Love. She gives an inspiration to Night Owl, and give a Miracle to Dr.Manhattan! I can't tell you what is that Miracle...Please find it in the movie by yourself.

Watchmen:Night Owl II-Old Batman?

The first time I saw Night Owl poster, I think Hey! This is the new Batman the movie...but It's not Bat-man..It's Owl-Man. Anyway, in Watchmen the movie, Night Owl II (I don't know about Night Owl I) is really look like Batman. He is the superhero that have a lot of Hi-tech equipments/gadgets for crime fighting. The different between Batman and Night Owl is that Night Owl build all the Hi-tech gadgets by himself! Is he a Genius?
In Watchmen the movie, Night Owl is a retired superhero that have a normal live. I think he stop his superhero job because the number of people who hate masked superhero action is rising, and Nickson's government announces anti-superhero laws. However, he still thought back about his old superhero life.
I think Night Owl represent indecisive people who always confuse about Do something you love (or as your Dream) that may give you some problems/obstacles and Do as the normal way that may give you the simple life. This is quite a normal problem for almost people in this world! Many media (ads, books, movies) always told us to Go for the Dream, but, for me, I think the key is just "Do the thing you choose, and Not cry for your choice". You may have a normal life, but please not cry for your old dream. Or, you may fighting for your dream, but please not cry for normal life when you ate tired or fail!

Watchmen:Rorschach-The Mad Detective?

Main character that driving the main story of Watchmen is Rorschach, the hard-man style superhero. He is the only one in Watchmen team that question about the death of Comedian (one of the Watchmen). He try to inspect for the real cause of Comedian's death and persuade other Watchmen member to beware about the suspicious danger coming to the team.
As his quote "This City is Afraid of Me. I've seen its True Face.", Rorschach always present himself as a terror for everybody who have something bad in mind.He always try to show the True Face (mind) of everybody, but hide his own under the strange changeable-pattern Mask! I think the pattern on his mask is always showing his feeling/mind. The scene that Rorschach talking with psychiatrist is showing that he has some bad background making him to be a hard man with complicated mind and thought.
I think Rorschach is the character that represent many people who try to know (and sometimes they think they've already known) the others mind but hide their own. This type of people try to know the true mind of the others, but sometimes (or all the time) confuse with their own mind and try to hide it because some weakness in their mind/background. I believe that you may face up with this type of people many time in your entire life or you may be that Type! Are you Rorschach?
