Bon Cop Bad Cop

When I heard we were going to watch Bon Cop Bad Cop, and that it was a Canadian movie, my first thought was that it wouldn't be good, especially since i have never heard of it before. But to my surprise it was a decent movie worth watching more than once. It had a lot of funny scenes but it is meant for adults, or watched at 14 with a parental guardian.

If no one told me it wasn't a Canadian movie i wouldn't know it was one, except with all the hockey and Canada references in the movie. I did not recognize any of the Canadian actors or actresses, usually i would be able to tell right away if it is a American movie but not this time. After watching this movie i realized how little there is in Canadian media, especially movies.

Graphic Novel Presentation

My presentation on the Graphic Novel watchmen was good, but it could of been better. My part of the presentation included, the impact on society which talked about the Watchmen being different from other graphic novels, except it is more articulate.

the weakness of my presentation was that I didn't have enough information. Also i did not mention the toys, posters and other realted watchmen products. To improve on my future presentations i will focus on these.

Watchmen Writing style

The writing style of watchmen is a great asset to the graphic novel. It makes it seem more realistic, like the visual style. The writing style is what makes watchmen look and feel like an intelligent novel.

Like April in the article about what she had first thought of watchmen, she did not like it until she 'read it' and the writing pulled her in to the graphic novel and then everything else fell into place.

Watchmen visual style

The watchmen graphic novel would certainly be nothing without the visual style, that is what it is most known for. The visual style brings watchmen to life, without it, it would just be another graphic novel.


The blue smoke in watchmen added to the visual effect. In the graphic novel, they're just a subtle touch to show how the world of Watchmen is slightly different than ours. But apparently, they don't really have any relevance to the plot.

Watchmen, the film's comparison to the graphic novel

I liked the graphic Novel of The watchmen but nothing beats the film. It is what brought the graphic novel to life. The movie was great but of course like a lot of other novels the movie had to be changed. The movie only shows so much visually and they're goal is to make money so some parts had to be changed for those that haven't read the book and to make sure the movie was not to lengthy.

The upside to the film, is that if some people do not like reading they can still enjoy and understand the message behind watchmen that stays faithful to Alans Moore's book.

The characters of Watchmen

Next to the plot of the Watchmen, there are the characters. each character has a big impact on the story and part of their character symbolizes something we recognize today. Each character had their own symbolism.

The Comedian was a parody of Humanity. He thought human nature was a sick joke only he understood. Nite Owl II represented idealism. Manhattan represented the detachment, since he was losing touch with humanity after getting his god like powers. The only one of his kind. Rorschach was moral absolutism. Ozymandias was complexity. He used dark methods for the greater good. And Silk Spectre represents change.

The plot of watchmen

Watchmen is a great graphic novel to read that is deep. The Watchmen is written to tagert adults about a superhero story. The Watchmen takes place in a world where superheroes exist, but none have super powers. The onl one who does is called 'Doctor Manhatten' (the blue guy), who was a scientist who was in an accident which gave him god like powers.

Most of the superheroes are gone in the novel, since the government banned them. The story begins with an old hero, named the Comedienne, being murdered. Another character named Rorshach (who's a bit on the insane side) thinks that there's a conspiracy behind his death, and begins investigating, first by going around and talking to all the old heroes.

The story takes off from there.The importance of the story has to do with that it was written and is set in the 1980s. From the 50s to the 80s, people all over the world were constantly afraid that the Soviet Union and the United States could start a nuclear war with each other at any moment and kill billions of people. This plays in majorly with the setting of the story.
