Watchmen

Watchmen (2009)
Seen on the 6th April 2010 (162 min)

What a film! I never expected this film was so thoughtful and critical about topics such as freedom, justice, right and wrong. The film is about a group of super heroes who have no more space or role in modern society. They played fundamental part in the past wars, WWII and Vietnam notably, but nowadays they have been forgotten and asked to live normal lives.

After the death of one of the super heroes, they start looking into what they are, how they are supposed to deal with issues such as freedom and justice and the philosphical implications of all of this. Dr. Manhattan represents the spiritual side of the film and represents a very interesting position in life, always going beyond reality which hurts, is stupid and pointless. I really recommend this film.

An interesting film about parallel lives. To me it was a similar take to the others or the sixth sense.

The men who stared at goats

The men who stare at goats (2009)

A very interesting film about "secret" military operations in the US Army. The film is based on a series of alternative ways of doing war which included seeing the enemy with love to try to persuade him of doing evil. The film is funny and witty and recounts the story of a journalist who encountered a member of this secret army who had the ability (among many others) of making goats' hearts to stop just by staring at them.
