far and away the most relatable and interesting character in the movie. Maybe the most moral. Behind the ruthlessness and wrath and malice, it was all about getting the evil out of this world, not because it was easy or hard, or fun or miserable, but because there's right and wrong, and as long as you do enough right while you're being wrong, you're still coming out ahead for righteousness. It's a messy, loathesome philosophy, but sometimes in order to finally get some results you have to change your approach. Even if your approach means you are a result that must be had when you're done. He didn't do his work mindlessly or under any illusions of grandeur or moral superiority. And that's what made it commendable that he did it anyway.
I was shocked when I found out Moore's goals and opinions on Rorshach. It's almost a litmus test for how warped a comic book fans worldview is whether they like or hate Rorshach. Sadly the watchmen reddit page seems flooded with post modern, moral relativistic Rorshach haters.
"Never compromise, not even in the face of armageddon" It's a principle that is strangely compelling and the fact Rorschach would even willing die for that principle is even more so. Jackie Earle Haley's performance is absolutely outstanding. Watchmen is one of my favourite films and even now is a stand out superhero film.
He's supposed to be Mr. A, specifically a lampoon of him. That backfired completely. Turns out people admire those with the strength and conviction to be moral absolutists and stand 10 toes on their beliefs, up to and including dying for them.
if you think he has no moral obligations, then you don’t understand the character you’re describing. The man is nothing but moral obligation, he’s moral obligation to a murderous fault. *He is the avatar of moral obligation.* He died before giving up on that.
@@PuertoRicanRattlesnake THANK YOU, god finally someone understands the character, its kinda the same with punisher who is also ruthless and shows no mercy for criminals, but he has lines he won't cross and does this since what the legal system is doing isn't working
YES. I said the same thing to my brother when we watched The Batman. It actually made me so mad lol. Watchmen is so good and did the starting monologue in the best way, The Batman sounded like a cheap clone.
This was an Incredible Masterpiece for My All Time Favorite Character in Watchmen and My Second Favorite Character in DC. Jackie Earl Hayley was Truly Perfectly Casted as Walter Kovacs/Rorschach. He Truly Did this Character Justice Making Rorschach The True Protagonist’s of Watchmen. I’m Hoping he gets a Second Chance at Playing Rorschach again.
At the end of the day, justice was all he had. No family because his mum never wanted him and gave him an irrecouncilable hatred of women. No future because of the coming bombs. Not even empathy, because there was no limit to how far a random stranger could fall unrepentingly in depravity. Justice - true Justice, relentless and uncompromising - was the only thing holding the man together. And had Doctor Manhattan not gotten in his way, he would have gladly let the bombs fly so that Ozymandias was brought to justice; after all, "justice is coming for all of us".
Rorschach has the courage of his convictions that the rest of us only wish we had; that we say we do, but don't. We just lie to ourselves and pretend that we would or could do the same as him. The dude is truly hard-core, all the way; No give and no take. He knew 100% that there was no way they would let him live, and he had the courage to face it head on and not shirk away from it. Never compromise, not even in the face of Armageddon. That's aways been the difference.
It's funny, as a leftist-- Alan Moore made his worst nightmare. Someone who can't morally relativitize everything into being okay. And it turns out, the average human being WANTS things to be good vs evil, with no excuses. Whether we can personally do it or not. We want to believe in an avenging angel, old testament style
Rorschach represents a culture without a professional justice system. When citizens do not have the resources to investigate, analyze, and judge criminal behavior, people resort to what is expedient. Life is hard enough without being preyed upon when the system fails, as is currently the case, the simplicity of Rorschach is appealing.
The way rorschach phrase those words in the beginning is the way travis bickle felt about those streets.Those streets were just sewers and that's how i feel about this world right now. I wish i could serve up the justice to those who were wronged.
@@squidvis You actually see yourself as a victim? You're nothing more than a misguided martyr, reveling in your own self-inflicted misery. It's pathetic to watch you inflict this suffering on yourself. Keep up the self-sabotage-maybe then you'll finally grasp just how foolish your entire teenage charade is.
"When you walk down the street in a city dying of rabies, past the human cockroaches, talking about their heroin and child pornography." If you know how disgusting and evil the world truly is, this quote will hit you. This world is truly evil, and only people like Rorschach know.
wtf. It pisssed me off. For him to compare victims of addiction, or dependents of a substance like opiates to a kiddie diddler .. That’s so dumb. It shows you how sick in the head Rorschach is. He thinks the world is black and white.. that’s the dumbest most extremist bs ever. Human beings are unique. You can’t just lump a huge demographic into the label of “deserving of retribution”. Dude has huge mommy issues just to start with. Sociopathic as fudge. If someone thinks he’s cool then you d the point and the creator literally is proving his point about ignorant people. The aesthetic is awesome due in part to the original artist and then the actor portraying him. But not the mindset; the actual being is horrible and broken beyond belief. If that type of person were real, they’d probably seem like a knot zeeeee
Wow 😲 Man For A Five Minute Video Edit You Did It Justice Rorschach He Was The Most inspiring Person In Comics History He is Evolved Version of Us To putting The Law Into Your own Hands and Going Down The rabbit Hole and Going Into The Looking Glass
Alan Moore is such a good writer that a character such a Rorschach is memorable and likable. Rorschach is a flawed character, his black and white world views, his misogyny, homophobia, dismissing the fact The Comedian attempted to rape a woman. It makes him a more indepth character, because the way he came into being shows you why he's like this. He never compromises for better or for worse, even at the cost of his own life, for how flawed he is, he can't agree to the idea of millions dying just to stop a war. Be it from a fake alien squid or multiple atomic bomb like explosions.
this edit is so captivating, i watch it alot....he's my favorite hero, and its cause he's not perfect at all....he's honestly quite the devil the way he deals with criminals, sometimes devils dont need a hero to stop them, sometimes they need someone worse
I just realized when he gets 'sploded. his splatter becomes the image the doctor showed him last which is also the first to fall out of the briefcase. the one he calls pretty flowers.
Always thought his gravely voice was awesome. I love superhero’s like the question where they don’t have much but there smarts. Makes em more cool to me idk.
As someone who grew up with the same kind of mother as Rorschach and losing my elementary school best friend to child abuse I can relate...my father protected me from my alcoholic mother's violent outbursts...my father protected me from my mother trying to kill me. When I was a baby he fought her to get off of me and I wanted to do same for my childhood best friend...but in the end they found her beaten and tortured to death...
Because its hero’s are flawed as all of us are. “The Boys” reveals the reality of over powered individuals in our modern world. These movies are all a play on Genesis 6:1-4. The “ boys” like to tell their stories.
Jackie Earle Haley should’ve won every single acting award for his portrayal as Rorschach
Just ran into Jackie today eating dinner … so I crossed paths with Rorschach and lives to tell the tale lol
@@gbellard81 lucky you
@@gbellard81what are chances of seeing him and then watching this video just to tell people you saw him eating

Alan Moore tried to make Rorschach the character everyone hated, but turned out making him the most relatable character.
Tried to make a character everyone hated but unintentionally made a character everyone loved
and he has it the worst. not rich. not endowed with any powers other than trauma. nothing to lose. can't hold onto anything but the idea of justice.

@ontyam I dunno, I liked him in the graphic novel too.
@ontyamAlan Moore wanted people to hate him, because he's leftist trash
Rorschach is the reason I like The Watchmen
so true, he is not hypocrite like batman does
Is it a series
@@pocaface There is a series that takes part after watchmen movie (all shots are from the movie)
Literally the rest of the characters suck in comparison, because they compromise their beliefs.
Most of the things in Watchmen is the reason i like The Watchmen
"Never compromise, not even in the face of armageddon" It's a principle that is strangely compelling and the fact Rorschach would even willing die for that principle is even more so.
Jackie Earle Haley's performance is absolutely outstanding. Watchmen is one of my favourite films and even now is a stand out superhero film.
Rorschach is the Batman without the funds.. and any Moral obligations.
punisher:
He's supposed to be Mr. A, specifically a lampoon of him. That backfired completely. Turns out people admire those with the strength and conviction to be moral absolutists and stand 10 toes on their beliefs, up to and including dying for them.
No moral obligations? Uh, his strong moral obligations are why he's so beloved lol.

Jackie Earle Haley's portrayal of Rorschach is on par with Heath Ledger's Joker
YES
Yep.
Well, I've also liked Jim Carrey's interpretation in the Mask.
REAL.
@@dori10 SOMEBODY STOP ME!
This bone chilling edit man. You did justice to this character with this edit
Thanks so much my friend:)
@@PyroSync Echo'd sentiment
Well done
Is it only me who finds Rorschach's starting monologue similar to The Batman's starting monologue.
I think they were inspired by Rorschach but he is also based on classic detective stories. They both are even so that's ultimately the origin.
Alan Moore.
My life is this nightmare
With Rorschach comes a different side lolol the comics were epic as fuck when it came to Rorschach I wish they displayed more than just his death
YES. I said the same thing to my brother when we watched The Batman. It actually made me so mad lol. Watchmen is so good and did the starting monologue in the best way, The Batman sounded like a cheap clone.
His eyes during the session... Spot on acting.
This deserves countless more views, especially these days.

You really like that "Shift" key, dont'cha.
Obviously, from my profile picture, Rorschach is my favorite character lol. Thanks so much for doing this character's story justice.
He didn't deserve to end like that . Just a man looking for justice. I can understand that
At the end of the day, justice was all he had.

1:41 “I confess” dude thought he was in Gotham.
Words of Rorschach keeps me thinking. A nice work.
He's right.
God didn't do this.
We did.
He gave us free will.
To do nothing.
To do Evil.
Or to FIGHT IT.
Rorschach is a poet in more ways then one ❤
No poetry, he's literally just pure philosophy.

I felt as though it was another loss, so thank you for this one, Pyrosync.
great edit
This video really deserve more views. That's really good edit for this character. I love it, I love the character, I love the edit.
Thank you!
Hard to pick a favorite moment, buy the editing for his speech at 1:39 really moved me. Subbed
Rorschach is the exact kind of character i model myself after
He sees the world as it is, while others simply ignore and hide behind their facades
He played that part SO WELL!
You made me wanna Watchmen, that's a freaking cool edit.
Best character in watchmen, don't give a fuck what Moore says.
Holy shit, this video looks amazing, this song fits perfectly, 2:04 this transition was fantastic, you did a great job
thanks a lot man! appreciate the kind words:)

He is like the Batman with a rational mind who kills his enemies. Rorschach > Softman

Nurse: Sorry Honey, Superman is really busy today, but we got something better!
Something better:

Classic musical
Rorschach is like Batman if he didn't give a damn.
Best character in the watchmen, by far ...
After that, maybe ozymandias, and Dr. Manhattan next
My favorite part of this is how much Alan Moore hates us for loving his least favorite character.
"From then on I knew... God doesn't make the world this way... We do..."
We really need another Watchmen, just hope it wont be cashgrab
Pretty good
That's how superhero should be made.
this motivates me, i want to edit now
"Is that what happens to us? No time for friends. Only our enemies leave roses. Good Joke"
"When you look at me.. What exactly is it that you see?"
