♠ The Watchmen: RORSCHACH

I love JACKIE EARLE HALEY as RORSCHACH, the right word; he nailed it.

My deepest impressions gotta be the part in the jail where he shouted at the other jailmates, "None of you seemed to understand. I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me!" in that raspy voice. The voice kinda nail the impression too.

And the part where he kicked some butt and said, "Two nothing, your move." Kickass.

And finally the part where he asked Dr Manhattan to do it. Priceless; the reluctance to be the person standing between telling the world the truth and lying to himself. He couldnt do the latter.

To think, sacrificing oneself instead of compromising one's principle and have an utter understanding of human nature; his own..it sure silenced my mind.

I personally hate the idea of human annilation for the purpose of peace cos if everybody buys the idea, then everybody is dispensable cos every else would think they should be the person alive carrying out the rest of the plan, which is selfish really cos who made them God.

RORSCHACH is imperfect, only perfect in his own definition of white and black, which is truly admirable, but I wouldnt stand 5 feet near him cos he'd be a reflection of me; an honest brutal imperfection of me which he'd tell it straight to my face whether if I want to listen or not.

To have a person like RORSCHACH in real life would be hard on the people around him. I doubt he'd be capable of giving people second chances if he thinks they are wrong.

Nonetheless, he's a fascinating figure to watch..on screen.
