yup
was just about to post that, one of my favorite quotes
Goes hard
Music is perfectly fitted too.
Jani left him but Wally stayed to watch him die. A true friend
Wally looked more like he was looking at an inevitable car crash, rather than giving farewell to his friend
@@pablofernandezcasas2973 I mean he wanted to be around people before he died, that's why he screamed "don't leave me" when Jani left
one in a lifetime opportunity, hes a scientist after all
@@feYslYa That's more acting like a psychopath, not like a scientist.
@@eccentriconyt only if he set it up
His body momentarily returning to the facility, and his teleportation abilities, implies he had been trying and working on reassembling himself the entirety of the time between his death and reappearance. Perhaps even popping up on different locations all over Earth (or the universe) the whole time.
I just now realized , this is suspiciously similar to the Philadelphia experiment , I learned about as a kid, wow....I wonder ? if this was inspired by that ? ...it just occurred to me.
This has had me wondering if a human could do something like that after death since I was introduced to this story
That he partially reassembled by the fence, then second floor then cafeteria shows that he wasn't reappearing in the same spot...
Imagine how long or short it felt for him. Or it didn't feel like time existed at all. Like how when you're so focused you look up and realize "Holy crap, it's time to go home from work." Except he never has that realization.
@@jasoncalvetti1983 it just shows his immense intelligence as well. If this option is available to other humans after death which I imagine it is, my guess as to why nobody else had done or been able to do it in all that time is because you would need to have a complete knowledge of the human genome/DNA sequence and the ability to actually reassemble an entire being from the ground up once again with nothing but your mind. So a lot of human consciousnesses have probably tried but due to not having the knowledge needed or the ability to reconstruct themselves perfectly they're eventually just like "ah screw this" and move on the afterlife. So the fact that Osterman was able to do it alone shows how smart he is
“”We repeat: the Superman exists, and he is American!”
Love that line
It's deeply disturbing, but not because of how it's delivered, but instead the wider context behind it
@@starhalv2427 That's why its so good.
later he said, that he said god exists and he is American
@@DiaJasin I mean that in the context of Cold War, it sound a lot like a threat directed towards the Soviet Union.
It's even better when the person who supposedly said it reveals he was misquoted. What he actually said was "God exists, and He is American."

@@HybridSpektar I believe it is referencing the Superman in German philosopher Frederick Nietzsche’s book “Thus Spoke Zarathustra”, with the superman being the next stage in human evolution, not the Superman from comics.
I love how she abandoned him in his time of greatest fear so he dumped her the second the got old.
I mean, it's not exactly "oh she abandoned him", more like "ok, i don't want to see my husband fucking die without being able to do shit!" but still, i get the joge.
@@leonardocamilio1206 Osterman literally said “don’t leave me” or something along those lines. She basically ignored his last wishes
@@bryantan4228 i mean, yeah he did that, but in this situation it's just too complicated and you just don't know what to do and what you are doing, you either leave crying, stay watching without saying a word or doing anything or you just get completely insane and emotional, or something else. When you *know* the person you love/like/are a friend will die in seconds in a terrible and unexpected way, shit is just complicated
@@leonardocamilio1206 Which is why he picked Silk Spectre. When Dr Manhattan had a crisis, Silk Spectre could have run away and curled into a ball and started crying.
Dr Manhattan understands that he might be immune to all physical harm, he needs someone by his side when he has a psychological crisis. Even if he’s not fully conscious of this weakness, this is something he gets at a subconscious level: that underneath the god he’s just a man
@@leonardocamilio1206 That's just an explanation for why she abandoned him.
I don't know who has it worse: Jonathan Osterman getting caught in a radioactive particle test before becoming Dr Manhattan or Bruce Banner getting caught in a radioactive gamma explosion before becoming The Hulk. Either way, it looks like a painful situation to get super powers by accident.
Alan Moore was referencing the original Charleton Comics character Captain Atom, who got his powers when he was accidentally trapped in a nuclear missile he was doing last minute repairs on and atomized, and then reassembled himself by force of will back on Earth. Moore's original plan was to use Charleton characters that DC had acquired to tell his story, mainly the Blue Beetle, Nightshade, Captain Atom, and The Question. When DC vetoed the idea (already having other plans for some of the characters), Moore created Night Owl, Silk Specter, Doctor Manhattan, and Rorschach to replace those characters.
But, yeah, lots of accidental power-gaining circumstances seemed distinctly unpleasant. Barry Allen: struck by lightning and hurled into a shelf full of forensics-related chemicals, becomes The Flash. Jim Corrigan (easily one of the worst ones): shot by gangsters, stuffed in a barrel that is then filled with cement and dropped into a river, actually dies, is sent back to Earth bound to the archangel Raguel "unto whom is given the Wrath of God" and becomes The Spectre (basically the single most powerful superbeing in DC comics that regularly interacts with Earth, but also plagued by the Wrath constantly urging him to use that power to wreak vengeance for crimes great and small). Carter and Sheira Hall discover they're the reincarnation of two beings fated to be reborn, find each other, fall in love, and be murdered, endlessly, throughout history: become Hawkman and Hawkwoman (using scientific and alchemical knowledge gleaned from remembering thousands of past lives). The list goes on.
Even a number of origins that don't give powers (only motivation to become a hero) really suck. Obvious first choice: Bruce Wayne sees his parents murdered in front of him at the age of eight, leading eventually to him becoming Batman.
I'd rather be the Hulk though.
@@soklot so u wont be completely op

Another great scene. Seriously, it's about as artistic as it gets.
This whole movie is, one of my all-time favorites. So many great scenes.
@@danovichi It's one of my all-time favorites, too.
Lol when Zack did it or when Moore and Dave Gibbons did it originally?
@@LordMoebius Art doesn't equal originality. You'd know that if you knew a slightest thing about human history.
I have no clue how anyone can hate this masterpiece.
I remember diving into this movie expecting it's gonna be a long and slow ride. I didn't expect it to be this film with so many symbols and vision not held back by the studio.
The film structure is also different from the time it was released, it started with action and went straight to the character's origins and backstory stopping the main plot for a while. I consider this film perfect and the best grounded comic book adaptation.
To consider it the best comic book adaptation you have to had read the comic book that "adapts" first.
@Rollz but to call it a "good" or "bad" adaptation, you need to have read the source material. Without it, you can only call it a good or bad movie, but not judge the quality of the adaptation itseld
People hate it maybe because the ending has plot hole
@@49Shadow please explain
@@stickybruh_vfx2425 If i am not wrong the explaination that i read might be like this, Dr. Manhattan is or like American property right? the ending shows us that Dr. Manhattan is blamed to blow up every entire important city in the world like Moskow and NYC, If Dr. Manhattan is American Property doesn't mean The US Gov. Should responsible for the Dr. Manhattan action too? Instead we got that every leaders of the world agree to blame Dr. Manhattan for the action. CMIIW.
This entire flashback scene feels straight out of the graphic novel. This is the best and most accurate part of the movie IMO.
this movie isnt perfect. But Zack really did a lot of the scenes justice with how he took direct visuals or lines straight from the graphic novel. This will forever remain one of my favorite movies for that reason.
It's funny how the classic DC characters like Batman and Superman exist in the Watchmen too, but only in their comic books
Until their universes crossed over in the comics.
Not...too funny, actually. Watchmen has about as much to do with those as Spider-Man has to do with Mickey Mouse. Please don't get crossover desires in your head; it would dilute the quality of the better work.
I thought Dr Manhattan became the creator of this universe with superman and Co.
@@wj3186 they arealdy had some.
@@wj3186 They already crossed over in the comics.... You mad bro?
0:27 in my opinion this carries a lot more weight in my eyes. She didn’t abandon him out of apathy or anything like that. She just couldn’t stand the sight of seeing someone she loves get destroyed. It was still the wrong choice though. So in my mind that subconsciously fragmented both her and Jon emotionally. And I think if she had just stayed, Jon would’ve turned out to be a different doctor manhattan. The last thing Jon feels isn’t just fear, but aloneness. That one seed probably just festered in his mind and lead him down a path of complete and total detachment.
Congrats, you can read a basic scene.
Why do you think we see her crying in the hallway, because she missed the discount on the Deluxe Toaster ?
@@devilsadvocate2643theyre not mainly talking about her smartass theyre talkiny about the effect her leaving had on manhattan permanently
The entire Dr. Manhattan backstory was so well handled; it feels right out of the comic. Say what you want about the validity of adapting Moore’s masterpiece, but it had far more good in it than bad
Everything was literally right out of the comic book minus the ending. Which even then using Doctor Manhattan’s power instead of faking the whole alien attack makes more sense
@@rusty7984 The main thing Snyder got wrong was having Laurie and Dan kill the knotheads in the alley, etc. Doesn't differentiate them from Rorschach. He also got their tone wrong - Dan in particular isn't supposed to come across as cool. But generally I agree that it's a quality adaptation.
This reminds me of how Bruce Wayne was accidentally trapped in a chamber full of radioactive bats and then became batman.
Funny that you mentioned that because in the story arc Dark Knights: Death Metal, there’s actually an Batman from the dark multiverse that became Dr. Manhattan.
It's incredible that DC made this movie even before any of the movies from the MCU and nailed it this well, only to fail spectacularly later on with their main characters in Justice league. Nolan's Batman being the exception but then again that was a Batman only movie. DC should just reboot everything and make the Justice League having this movie as a roadmap.
Zack Snyder’s Justice League was great.
Won't work. The characters don't translate well to live action because they are too basic. They have too few flaws and vices by which any story can progress (their problems typically being external threats they face). That's the difference between the characters that are entertaining and the ones who are not. There is some socio-political relevance to that too, I have noticed.
@@MrImastinker Not really. In my opinion, it was bad to mediocre at best. I really don't understand the hype for it.
@@wj3186 It isn't even that, it's that Snyder and co.'s solution to the fact most DC characters were virtually templates you can give any number of additional traits to as needed was to make them as edgy as they could without nudity and excessive cursing. Look at the DC Animated Universe, with JLU, the superman series, the batman one, they can clearly make complex characters from these templates. The solution, though, is not to do everything in your power to make Batman the Punisher, and give Superman a God Complex.
@@theendersmirk5851
Snyder’s Superman does *not* have a god complex.
People in the DCEU push that image onto him, while he’s just an insecure farm boy trying to do the right thing.
As for Batman, Snyder had the balls to ask, “What if Batman started to lose his way?” He tried something different with the character.
And of course the whole point of said arc was Batman realizing he’s losing it, and mending his ways by the time JL comes along.
And I mean the *real* JL, movie, from this year. Not that botched, studio-mandated abortion from 2017.
I don't care what anyone says, this movie was AMAZING.

The wall is unstoppable, seen so many beautiful women lose their looks and all they are left with is a terrible personality and bitterness.
The average and weird looking girls comically have stuck with their men and live happy lives, the beautiful ones always are on the look out for something better but once they hit the wall its over.
That is a lesson for you all. Be with someone for who they are and be greatful not always on the lookout for a upgrade.

2:58
Yup
The music is also brilliant - it's "Pruitt Igoe" from Phillip Glass' "Koyaanisqatsi". It's a dirge on the isolation and disruption of modern society on mankind, exemplified by the ill-conceived Pruitt Igoe housing project in Saint Louis.
1:40 I never noticed that all watches are set to 11.59 Impliying his last second as a human beeing on earth and he literally sees his life passing in front of his eyes in that time.
It is also a reference to the doomsday clock, implying that humanity is about to annihilate itself as the climax of the cold war, which is the point of the movie: how much impact can superheroes really have, and is it worth it? Read the comic and Moore's commentary on it, the movie is very faithful to it and it is amazing how many details and references there are in both.
Billy Crudup's line delivery of "don't leave me!" never fails to make me start sobbing. this movie was a masterpiece and we'd be so lucky to still have superhero movies like this.

@@homer700 The entire current Marvel Multiverse was created by Franklin Richards and he was a kid when he did that.
Not to discount Dr Manhattan because he's ridiculously powerful but idk if he's as powerful as a fully powered Franklin Richards.
It's so cool how out of all of the things he can think of, before he is electrified, he lays his sight on is his watch and ponders on the perception of time-what it actually is
Billy Crudup has the perfect voice for Dr Manhattan
Dr. Manhattan's monologue portrayed here is, to me, despite so many classic movies I have watched, the greatest scene in all cinema.
Zack Snyder is a controversial director, and so is Allan Moore, the one that wrote the original comics. But, at this scene in particular, at this moment, the crossing of their both "weirdness"(I guess), was absolutely perfect. A phenomenon I can't even begin to explain. Every year that I came to back to watch this I get the same eerie feeling, the goosebumps of awe. And I do not know of any other cinema flick capable of captivating me like this.
dork
Zack didn't write the script, nor did he act it out. He put people in stupid situations and jump cut until the audience was nauseated. The writers and actors deserve the praise, it's like praising the conductor of a 100-person orchestra instead of the actual artists; it's giving all credit to the talentless while ignoring the talent.
watch it again
@@xelgodis80085 Does its occur to you that Directors work with the script writers?
Read the original comic.
This movie was ahead of its time
The visual novel does an amazing job at showing how Dr. manhattan perceives time as a seamless continuum.
Using Pruit Igoe from Koyaanisqatsi as Dr. Manhattan's creation theme was simply genius.
I came looking for any comment that would properly acknowledge the music. And yes, the way the ominous serenity of "Prophesies" moves into the magnificence and dread of "Pruitt Igoe" is just an inspired choice.
This movie had so much style! It just draws you in with it's grasp on the dramatic
I don't like what they did to his character in the series. You absolutely cannot take his powers away like they did. He's now a force of nature, he transcended his humanity and became something untouchable.
Its a comic book buddy
Series was way too woke for how beautiful this universe was supposed to be. Hopefully, it will be forgotten. Not canon.

3:01 Dam man gots a tally wager lol
I like to think that over time Dr Manhatten wasn't loyal to Janie because she wasn't there for him during the accident
From what I understand, he went into sub-atomic form and was able to manifest everything around him. Which means, as he became a sub-atomic being, he became capable of rearranging sub atoms aswell.
After grabbing his watch he became part watch. This explains the title of the movie. Its the small details that really make this movie

I’ve always like Zack Snyder’s use of music, but his use of Philip Glass’s score from Koyannisqatsi for this scene is genius. It’s an amazing documentary film that I highly recommend watching, and it’s title is a Hopi Indian word meaning “Life Out Of Balance.” Not only does it fit from an unknowing perspective just viewing and listening the scene at face value, but the parallels to Doctor Manhattan’s character perfectly fit the themes of the film it derives the music from. Just check out Phillip Glass’s work in general. It’s fantastic, and I’d recommend listening to some Max Richter as well.

I just didnt understand why People hate this film,
Its masterpiece for me, I watch this like 20 times
A right-wing director adapted a very very very very leftist author, it's why the movie seems conflicted, for example by kind of gloryfying Rorshach which is not the point of the comic book. I also find the imagery way too clean, for example every women in every scenes are very strongly made up, I mean, I have nothing against a made up woman, but a perfect make up each time a woman is on screen ? Feels unnatural, the movie looks like a porno.
@@Pordrackthe movie is badass and it's fun to watch. no, I'm not missing the point of the original comic by saying that.
When you give a film an 18 rating you can accomplish wonders
I dont care what everyone said about Zack portray superhero movies to be dark and gloomy, instead of funny2 kids friendly, this dude really excel if he allowed to do what he wants without studio interference..
Watchmen is a masterpiece.
This is yet another example of how Watchmen was 100% perfectly cast for all actors. The music is perfect and so are the sound effects in this scene.
Were they unable to kill the power on the Intrinsic field generator?
I guess movie ppl don't pull the plug when things hit the fan. It's like they wanted it to happen and act all scared and then find the solution at the last minute or after the event has occurred 🤣🤣
Depends on the power needed for the experiment. It might have been stored in a capacitor and committed to being released in there. Trying to shut it off could have resulted in power surges everywhere, likely putting people at risk. That moment of lack of attention wasn't anticipated or else they should have implemented a better fail safe.
In 9 seconds? They were probably in shock
The book depicts that chamber differently. In the movie, it's high-tech electronic machinery. In the book, there's just a shutter in the wall that goes up. It looks mechanical and simple, as if it just exposes Osterman to a sample of something nasty. There probably wasn't anything to shut down.
this is the best scored scene in the film. i would appreciate it more if the rest were scored in a similar fashion rather than the jukebox approach used

Snyder just didn't have such an exact and marvelous source material to work with on his other, lesser movies.
@@alucard347 THANK YOU 🙌
It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who realizes this about Snyder. He’s a great visual stylist, for sure, which has served him well for films like Watchmen and 300. I doubt anyone else in Hollywood could make adaptations of them as well as he did. But give him the opportunity to do something original and he produces subpar films like Sucker Punch and (dare I say it) Man of Steel. A big reason why Watchmen is as well received a film as it is has to do with the fact that Snyder changed very little of its main story. He literally used the comic panels as a storyboard in pre-production.
Again, not hating on the guy; he clearly has talent. Writing just doesn’t happen to be one of them.
@@MrPjw5 He is the only man i'd trust to do a book adaption of a series, he is really good at adapting stuff.
Using songs from Koyaanisqatsi was such a good choice, truly makes the whole thing unsettling, but awe inspiring
