INK BLOT

INK BLOT- This Watchmen Fan Film, by Krystian Ramlogan and Multidiasporic Films, Once again takes a majority of it's plot from the pages of Alan Moore's masterpiece, with an exception, most of the film's dialog is original material. Instead of taking the words off of the written page, Ramlogan instead chooses to offer his own insight into the brilliant/mad mind of the masked vigilante. The film takes it's direction from the pages of Watchmen #2. In the issue, Rorscahch is looking for answers involving the murder of the Comedian, a violent, and deranged vigilante in his own right, that shared similar views on society as a whole. The Comedian, aka Edward Blake, was one of the few people Rorschach considered a friend. The film had Rorschach searching for answers in the murder of his fallen teammate, mulling over theories behind the murder in his head like a broken blender. By way of repetitive thoughts, and slightly warped vocals, the film is successful in providing a window into the troubled mind of the character. Since none of us know what Rorschach's voice would truly sound like, unless you ask Alan Moore himself, the characters slight Carribean accent should be overlooked, instead of debated. One thing i might debate however, is the clarity of Rorschach's thoughts. We all know the guy is Looney Tunes, so perhaps a little more illogical thinking, and improper grammar is needed in the dialog, to remind us of the fact that we're not dealing with say..Batman. Rorschach's overall creepiness in the film is without question. Ramlogan's Rorschach carries himself like Michael Myers in a Fedora. The film's ending is great, wrapping things up nicely, and providing us with the first celluloid appearance of Watchmen arch-nemesis, Moloch! I will not give away anymore, i will just leave you with that. Great original effort! It certainly does not stray too far from words Moore might have penned himself. And for that reason alone, you should make it your business to check this one out. Click HERE and enjoy!
