Its all based on deevolution, our own human race turning on itself and killing one another because we have run out of "common enemies." I take that quote right out of the movie. That was probably the easiest message to get, and yes it did phase me. Although I choose to look at it in a lighter sense. Not in a violent one or a self-destructive one, of course we all know that is what comes of this, but I choose to see it as a sense of unity. We have not forgotten togetherness, uniting under one flag known as whatever "cause" we are supposedly fighting for. But why fight? Why not form this unity, this understanding of one another around love. Well, as Alan had put it, its a completely unrealistic idea and will probably never happen, which is true, but this is why Dr. Manhattan is my hero. He gave up a life of peace and solidarity to become the common enemy of the people we all have come to know and hate, humans. I'd like to change that to know and love, sucks that some of us cant see it that way...oh well. What am I to do about it, what are we all to do about it... Must one of us really put themselves in radioactive chamber have our molecules ripped apart as if they were nothing turning that person into a being simliar to a godlike creature? If you ask me, I would think that there would be no other alternative.
Whatever, thats my analyzation of the last couple of scenes in the movie, now for an analyzation on Rorschachs perspective on everything. He viewed humanity almost the same way I did. Full of a sense of perversion, drug abuse, an abuse of liberalism. Which I actually completely agree with. During these, as I would call it, Pre-Apocalyptic times, people are losing themselves in actual anarchy. I wont lie, I even find myself enjoying the occasional "afterparty." My views on society and government as a whole also, at times, lean towards anarchy. For instance, I dont believe in nationalism. I believe thats what tears us apart as a human race. Distinguishing ourselves as part of another country. I can't walk into a bar and not notice the think Russian accent from the guy sitting next to me, and of course the question will arise, "Where are you from?" and he will most likely reply, "From Russia." And maybe he might ask, "And where might you be from?" Now I have thought about a response to this question, and I think I've got it down, tell me how this sounds, "I am from earth." I may receive puzzled looks, who knows, maybe the guy will understand my standpoint, and nod his head ever so slight acknoledging my stance on nationality. But I'm getting way off topic, back to Rorschach. He points out his sickness with society, the perversion, the drugs, the violence. All of it just crude and disgusting. And yet, I can't disagree, as much as I love perversion, drugs, and violence, in a sense of seeing it on TV screens, and movie screens. He has a point. That without this stuff. We may be better off as human beings. Well, in the end, he ends up dying. I think he died because all of the interest was sucked out of the world. All the stuff that he hated and fought against was gone. So it was his time to move on because he couldnt last in a world where there was no hatred. It was his own hatred that killed him. His own depression. Well, this is just my opinion. I really don't know, nor can I remember the real reason, but thats something that will probably lead me to seeing this movie once more.
One more thing, I just cant understand why the critics gave this movie mediocre reviews. Perhaps they are so shallow themselves that they don't understand the plot of the movie. Or maybe theyre trying to drive audiences somewhere else so that they all don't see the underlying messages within this movie, because one of them in particular had a lot to do with the media and its relevance to "interesting" and "dramatic" stories. Maybe these guys didn't want people to lose faith with the papers and magazines. Who knows? Again I don't. I wish I did, but I don't.
Now, all we have left to do, is watch as humanity crushes itself with its own iron fist. As we all crumble beneath the fabrics of society so carefully woven, and yet so easily torn apart. Personally I can wait. But when that time comes. I won't be surprised, and I won't be expecting. I'm just here to live my life, and be Phil for as long as I can be. Ok I'm off to bed.
I hope that you all, Have A Good One.
