I could not resist. Really ... I tried ... but I could not resist. I'm not a regular buyer of DVDs of films (I have all 5, one of whom got), but because I watch them once, and then stay there gathering dust. But I made an exception for this.
WATCHMEN: Tales of the Black Freighter
Abstract: For the uninitiated, in the comic Watchmen there are many other meta-works (books and comics) that help to give a closer look depth to the world and events that are told. The cartoon Black Freighter and the book under the guise are two of them.
potendoli not put in the movie, his already long, Zack Snyder has seen fit to place them in a DVD from.
And now for you, just for you, analyze the contents of the DVD.
Tales of the Black Freighter
If you find yourself in a world where masked heroes really exist, that comic book reading to leave for a while 'the boring reality, and sailing in some fantasy universe? Well, of course comic books about pirates.
The comic in the comic that appears in Watchmen , is that it acts as a mirror to the events of Nite Owl & CO (placing himself the question "What can bring the action, made with more good intentions?") Is here proposed in the form of cartoon.
beginning was to be a live-action story, with Gerard Butler (the mythical King Leonidas of 300) in the role of captain, to be included in the film, but then opted Zack Snyder for this format. Gerard Butler, however, gives voice to the captain, as Anglophone.
Cardboard, really well done, tells of the desperate race against time for a captain, on whose head hangs the curse of the Black Freighter, to save his family. In some ways recalls The Rime of the Ancient Mariner of Colerigde .
At some points the animation may seem a bit 'rough, especially for those accustomed to certain masterpieces of Japanese animation, but even so has the advantage of being able to play and to suggest the stillness of the boards of a comic book.
bei 25 minutes of fun, fear, despair and blind resignation.
Under the Mask Beneath the Mask
is the title of the autobiography written by Hollis Mason, the first Nite Owl. The goal in this book- Watchmen told from the point of view of the golden age of Hollis masked vigilante.
the DVD is in the form of '80s television documentary, complete with themed advertising (advertising of beautiful quartz watches xD). A series of interviews with various actors of the Golden Age of the masked vigilante (Hollis Mason, Spectrum Night, Moloko, the Comedian ...) trace the history of the world of Watchmen from the '40s to the '80s.
Although interesting for those who have never read the comic, it seemed too short and with too little information. There were many topics on which they could discuss (the assumption about the identity of Hooded Justice, Silhouette's death, the matter of clothing that fit ... etc. ...), but that was not even mentioned .
He seemed very warm baby food.
The story in the history books Watchmen (special content)
A mini-documentary in which the production speaks of Black Freighter and Under the Mask , and their achievements. The usual special content
pointless putting in all the dvds. Nothing exceptional.
Watchmen Motion Comic, Chapter One (Special contents)
This special content is really a nice surprise. 0_0
All tables of the first chapter of Watchmen animated and performed by an actor.
really brilliant as found! Too bad there is only the first chapter ... I took all the comic: D The only
against is the voice of Silk Spectre 2, really horrible. Wasted woman could get an actor for her: P
Now I look forward to the Director's Cut of the film: D
