A Rave

I have something to rave about. Watchmen: The Movie

I was able to get free Watchmen (the deal has since expired) movie tickets and I’m glad I did, otherwise I wouldn’t have gone to see it, and I am glad I did because I LOVED IT! I had never heard of them, nor cared until I heard about the movie. I decided to go in knowing nothing, not because I wanted to be surprised, but because I just didn’t care. Well, I’m glad I went in without knowing anything, because it was AWESOME.

Anyway, it was a GREAT movie. At times, my mouth just laid on the floor in amazement. And those three hours flew by to the point that I wanted it to last longer. The story was great, the characters were just off the chart and the ending was...WOW...I am going to have to own that movie on Bluray when it comes out.

A lot of people might not have liked it because of the moral questions it asked (like the Dark Knight) but it didn’t bother me. We don’t live in an antiseptic world where there is the cut and dry, good versus evil spectrum that we can point out. Sometimes the bad guy does wins, and making a moral choice comes down to what is logically right and not what is morally right and vice versa.

  1. I have not seem the movie, so no comment on that.

    But honestly moral and logical do not work together like that when making deccisions.

    Logically, I can rob a bank, and get rich and never have to work again. Its the best get rich plan ever, screw hard work!

    Morally I know that none of that is my money, and its wrong and that other people will get hurt (even if only financially) if I do that.

    So my only real problem with this blog lies in that last statement. Morals are cut and dry, yes and no, black and white answers. When making a moral choice, logic should play no part.
