'Watchmen' Opening Credits and More Video

DateSunday, March 8, 2009 at 4:29AM
A few more cool Watchmen videos have surfaced in the past couple of days, which could enhance your experience if you're going to see it (or even if you have seen it), and one of them is the experience.

As you probably know, there have been monthly video journal updates released on the 6th of each month over the past year. I didn't expect one on the day the film was released, but there's so much information about this movie that needs its own look, the producers of the film created one more.

This one is called Societal Parallels, and that title needs no further explanation.

There's also a new viral video that I think probably should've come out before the film was released. I mean, that's the point of a viral video, right? To raise awareness ahead of time? Anyway, this is more manufactured old TV footage. It's like a cable access show, and I can only recommend it if you go way back with the comic book.

And finally, perhaps my favorite part of the entire movie: The opening credits. A brilliant narrative montage, showing us the rise and fall and rise and fall of masked heroes in the second half of the 20th century, set to Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are A-Changin'." Incidentally, the soundtrack for this film is remarkable.

That video was produced by yU + Co., and it's incredible work, don't you think?
