(Anonymous) 2009-04-13 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)I think what a lot of people are missing is that you're not supposed to like certain characters. Saying, "I don't like the Comedian," is a rather silly reason to dislike the film considering that was the filmmaker's intent. That's like saying you really disliked the Nazis in Schindler's List. Of course you didn't like them, that's the goddamn point! Of course you're not going to enjoy rape or want to hug a megalomaniac! These people aren't Superman. They're various shades of normal and bad people! You're assuming that everyone gets that. But they don't. They really don't.
I think a better criticism would be that the film was so full of bad people you found it nearly unwatchable. Or you felt the director was irresponsible in his depiction of rape. Or that you thought the effects were silly. Or that the filmmaker was not good at getting his intent across. All valid points from certain perspectives.
You seem to get it. You realize that there's a distinction here. The OP doesn't seem to understand the difference between thinking a movie was well done and enjoying it because you like seeing a woman brutalized. And that's what's so mind-numbingly frustrating to a lot of Watchmen fans. That some believe all people who enjoyed Watchmen find bloodshed and evil sexy and fun (no doubt there's a group that do, unfortunately). Which is not the case for most of us and we feel the need to defend the movie and ourselves.
