This is an awesome image that I found on the LoveHateThings.com blog. The Watchmen movie comes out March 9th, 2009. In the book, and hopefully in the movie, you’ll notice some reoccurring themes.
- The smiley face: which used to belong to the Comedian. In the beginning, you find that that’s his blood on the face, in the end… it’s burger sauce.
- The clock. Each scene/comic (tweleve in all) is opened with the image of a clock face ticking closer to noon.
- Gunga Diner wrappers. The place is constantly seen in the background, as well as it’s wrappers seen in the streets adrift in the wind and garbage.
- Pale Horse
- Veidt corporate logos, either perfume, tennis shoes or pretty much anything. Adrian’s name is as pervasive and ubiquitous as Nike.
- And the Gordion Knot Lock Company, not seen here.
You absolutely HAVE to read the book. It is a masterpiece.
