Do you like the book or the movie better? This paper consists of the differences and the similarities between the movie and the novel. The most major differences will be addressed throughout the essay. In my opinion the movie was a lot better than the book. The movie didn’t have nowhere near as many details as the book, but the movie had more excitement. The book is way more exaggerated than the movie, because everything had a purpose in the book. However, the creativity and art was involved in both the book and novel. Demonstrating a keen eye for historical detail, Considering Watchmen gives readers a new appreciation of just how radical Moore and Gibbons's blend of gritty realism and formal experimentation was back in 1986. The book also considers Watchmen's place in the history of the comics industry, reading the graphic novel's playful critique of superhero marketing alongside Alan …show more content…

I loved Dr.Manhattan and his powers are similar to superman. That was my favorite character overall, and Nite Owl was my second by far. Therefore, I admired both characters ways throughout the movie. In the Watchmen it has cast a long shadow over the comic’s landscape with its reinvention of the modern comic-book hero, portraying its protagonists as a beyond-their-prime collection of would-be vigilantes in the throes of midlife crises instead of the usual caped or clawed male-fulfillment fantasies. (DC Comic1) In the end Manhattan finds out that he doesn’t cause cancer, but he wanted world peace after he killed civilians. Nite Owl and Rorschach discover Veidt is Dr. Evil. New York City is blown to bits. Before leaving the galaxy, Dr. Manhattan kills Rorschach to preserve world peace. Nite Owl and Silk Spectre get married. Thanks to an ambiguous ending, the future is totally unknown. (Moore1) Even after he killed Rorschach someone found his journal, so the story still got out to the

Despite the real authors, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, nobody truly knows who the designated narrator of Watchmen is. A quick reading of the novel and, more specifically, the last few pages may lead the reader to believe that the novel is narrated by an extradiegetic narrator that simply pieces together the stories. Nevertheless, Sara J. Van Ness argues in Chapter 5, “Parallel Histories” of Watchmen as Literature, that the narrative’s conclusion should spark a conversation concerning the possibility of a diegetic narrator within the world of Watchmen. Which characters are potential narrators of Watchmen and what contextual evidence do Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons provide for each? At the very least, the answer to this question can provide context

The movie and the book “Everything, Everything” are very different when comparing the author and directed decisions. The author included Madeline architecture teacher by having him being the only visitor besides her nurse to grade her projects.

Manhattan whether he did the right thing, and Dr. Manhattan answers that nothing ever ends. As he has no interest in saving humanity due to his pessimistic belief, his answer indicates that Veit’s action would not stop further problems in the world. There will be continuous problems with humanity and there will be no way to fix it. Watchmen’s dystopia fails to elaborate its critique clearly due to the double standards and moral dilemma the characters face. Rorschach, one of the heroic characters who is determined to fight for the goodness, dies by giving up his moral standings.

The book differs starting just by the tone. The book is told by the narrator to make us imagine the character. Bilbo Baggins and the other various pictures that are mind blowing to the imagination. The movie however Tolkien’s voice was not told through narration, but Bilbo Baggins now plays as a character himself (main character in book). How both stories are told is great, but the movie itself really brings to life all character and possible book images too.

By introducing this idea of moral and ethical gray areas, Watchmen is able to better let readers relate to characters while also helping them understand that they represent society’s different view points. In a paper written by a Harvard professor, he states that some examples in the novel are “extreme and exaggerated, but the issues are real for many of us.” By using concepts of real issues, the reader can empathize with characters, and better understand their thought process. This also allows the reader understand that these heroes represent their own different thoughts and ideals, struggling with the same issues as them. In addition, he states, “Watchmen reminds us over and over that attempts to act well are easily susceptible to deformations
