From 65438 to 0977, the government passed a law called keene act, which classified all superheroes who did not want to be employed by the government as criminals, resulting in the retirement of most superheroes in the world. 1985, the comedian was murdered. Rorschach called Owl and Silly Ghost back to investigate the comedian's death. During the Cold War from 65438 to 0985, the whole world was in a rather chaotic stage. Large-scale riots broke out all over the United States. At this time, a large group of superheroes with different shapes appeared. They keep close contact with the government and help maintain social stability. Of course, masked or not, they are just the most ordinary people, with their own identities and jobs. In order to distinguish and address them, everyone has their own code name, which is passed down from generation to generation. Among these superheroes are Walter kovac of Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley), Joe osterman of dr. manhattan (billy crudup), Sally Jupiter of the Ghost (carla gugino), Adrian Vidit of Pharaoh (matthew goode) and Dan Delberg of Owl (Patrick Wilson). They are the secret army of the government. Because of their special status, they are not bound by many social regulations, and their natural efficiency is extremely high! But after more than ten years of fighting, running around and serving the government, they all had the idea of retiring, and the US government agreed to their request. So these masked heroes returned to the fields and lived their ordinary lives in the vast sea of people. Some people have found successors, and some people have completely extinguished the fire in their hearts and are ready to spend the rest of their lives. But once you get to the Jianghu, it's never that simple to quit. Suddenly one day, the "comedian" fell from the high building of his apartment and died, and another superhero, Ozmandis, was also attacked. The news caused great repercussions among these superheroes. Because this not only implies the exposure of their identity, but more importantly, they may be retaliating against their group and preparing to break them one by one! The attitude of the government is also suspicious. After the government intervened in the investigation, it quickly decided that it was an accident, thus closing the case in a hurry and burying the body with a grand ceremony. Although many superheroes have accepted this result, Rorschach doesn't think so. He contacted two friends who are both superheroes to investigate the truth behind the scenes. Soon they found that it was definitely not an accident, but someone had committed a crime. But what puzzled them was that they found that the murderer was not only a veteran who had participated in the Vietnam War, but also an insider of their superhero group! And the killer's ambition is far from being as simple as getting rid of the heroes. He is still brewing a bigger conspiracy. ...

I believe you will soon forget my real name, Walter kovac, because I refuse to mention the past. This is not only because my mother is a prostitute, but also because I have been humiliated since I was a child. The fallen society needs heroes so much that I made an ever-changing mask and renamed it "Rorschach" to punish evil and promote good. Soon, I joined the Watcher and fought against the Italian mafia with the owl. After the owl retired, I began to act in secret. 1975, I did a big case, tied the murderer who dismembered the girl with chains, picked up his machete and hacked to death alive. I think justice is on my side, because the police car behind me never caught up with me. However, in 1985, my teammate clown was murdered, and I was arrested by the police. My friends the owl and the ghost saved me in time, and I took them to Ozmandis' home in Antarctica. Unexpectedly, Ozymandias persuaded Owl and Silk Ghost, and even alarmed dr. manhattan who came to help. I know my death is coming. 2. Ozymandias: When I was young, my name was Adrian Wade. I always thought I was the smartest person in the world. In order to match my beauty, I began to travel around the world to supplement my knowledge. 1958, with extraordinary wisdom, I changed from an ordinary person to a global entrepreneur. But since the cold war, I have been preparing another plan to change the Antarctic world. I joined the night watchman, named Ozymandias, and set up a personal consortium behind the scenes with the team as a shield. If anyone discovers my secret, I will cut off his tongue, or throw it into the cold Antarctic continent and freeze it into a popsicle. They say I despise human beings, but I'm not. Even if my plan will lead to millions of deaths, I will do it for the longevity of the world. You can't understand what I'm saying now, because people without knowledge will always know. At that time, you will worship me as a contemporary Alexander the Great, and I will wear the crown of the ancient Greek monarch, waiting for you to bow to me. 3. dr. manhattan I almost don't remember the name Jon osterman, because the name meant nothing to me later. I don't have any hobbies, but I am keen on nuclear physics research. I have a wife, but I have no more friends. 1959165438+1October 9th was a day that changed my life. In an unexpected nuclear magnetic resonance experiment, a powerful atomic explosion brought me into an immaterial space, and my senses and thinking were completely subverted. It took me 13 days to return to this world. I became a ridiculous bald blue man, and every atom was at my fingertips. It's like God's will killed the superpower in the world, which certainly shocked the government. They collected me and named me "dr. manhattan", relying on me to resist the nuclear threat across the Pacific Ocean. It was only later that my wife left me because my life was getting farther and farther away from human beings. At this time, I thought I was in love with Ghost II and joined the Watchers' team, but I silently watched the clown kill a pregnant woman and didn't know what to do. 4. Clown My original name is edward blake. People who can't stand my bad temper had better not contact me, because I am the most explosive person in the Watchmen's team. I remember that I was not liked by everyone in the militia in the 1930s. At that time, I fell in love with the lovely "Silk Ghost", but another hero who covered his face interfered with me. As a result, I was successfully attacked by him and suffered the first failure in my life. Well, I lost my life. But heroes always have their place. I became the only superhero in the government and was sent to the Pacific battlefield and the Korean battlefield. 1973 was my most prosperous year, because I assassinated two journalists and the Watergate incident was kept secret. However, it didn't take long to crack down on criminals. After learning about Ozymandias's shocking plan, he hit me when I was drunk and threw me from a tall building. On the way down, I thought, this is the second failure in my life, at least it won't happen for the third time. I come from a typical single family. My mother was the only female general in the original "militia" team, and I followed in my mother's footsteps and became a superhero. My first appearance was at the rally against criminals in 1966. I was impressed by dr. manhattan's divine power and fell in love with him. In order to date me, dr. manhattan took me to Mars and visited his splendid Crystal Palace. The problem is that he forgot that humans can't breathe in space and almost killed me! Back in new york, I was infected by Rorschach's persistence. I fought side by side with Owl and Rorschach against ambitious Ozymandias. The postdoctoral doctor in Manhattan also came to play, but Ozmandis was so eloquent that we were persuaded to let the tragedy happen ... When we woke up, the earth was still there, but Rorschach was gone. In the later days, I married the owl and continued to fight bravely. I changed my name to clown in honor of my father. I began to feel that my father's blood was flowing in me and I began to be complete. 6. Owl II My name is dan dreiberg, and I naturally yearn for the perspective of birds. My family is not bad, at least enough for me to learn my favorite ornithology. At the age of 22, I officially got a double diploma in aeronautics and zoology from Harvard University, but my real long-cherished wish was to learn from the former militia organization Owl. After visiting my humble abode, I finally got the title of "Owl II" and put on my predecessor's bird man combat suit, and my Archimedes aircraft was completed. Yes, it's the thing that imitates the big eyes of an owl, sitting in a 4-ton dream with teammate Rorschach. However, everything happens for a reason. 1977, the government banned all superheroes, and my Archimedes and a series of personal equipment had to be put in the locker. I went back to my old job as a scholar for eight years and wrote a paper on ornithology. Then I realized how boring these words were. By 1985, Rorschach found me again, and the clown's killing stimulated me to put on my equipment again. I am a suspected recidivist, and I will not spare you this time!
background information
The scene film in the 2009 edition of The Watcher is adapted from alan moore's novel of the same name that won the Hugo Award. The novel itself is presented in the form of "image", and its content is deeply biased towards literary novels, but it is more like comics in expression. Alan moore is also the original author of V the Ripper and Indiana Jones. Hollywood producers finally put alan moore, a unique cartoon, on the big screen against the author's wishes. However, anyone who has seen the original work has no doubt that the film will be a great success. The story of The Watcher is complicated and ingenious. 1985, superheroes gradually disappeared because of government restrictions and repression. It was not until one of them was suddenly killed that the retired superheroes gathered again to investigate the murder. However, the investigation shows that all this is just the beginning, and there is a bigger conspiracy behind the murder. The film explores the inner doubts of superheroes, their problems with each other and the complex relationship between ordinary people and superheroes.
