A mariner survives an attack from the dreaded pirates of the Black Freighter, but his struggle to return home to warn it has a horrific cost.
A sea captain (Gerard Butler, 300 and RockNRolla) is the single person to survive a slaughter upon his ship by savage pirates aboard a black freighter, this 25 and a half minute animated adaptation of the secondary story in the Watchmen comic mini-series tells the macabre, heart-wrenching tail of his journey back to the Davidstown before the pirates can arrive there to pillage his homeland. While using a somewhat minimalistic animated stylization, the story as well as the visualizations work triumphantly and one can't help but be drawn into both. Not so much a companion piece to "Watchman" (although the case for that has been made ad nuaseum) as much as a brilliantly conceived piece that can indeed stand on it's own.
My Grade: A
DVD Extras:Under the Hood (a 37 and a half minute faux news interview with Hollis Mason about his book) a 225 minute featurette on the making-of; the first chapter of the Watchman motion comic, a first look at "Green Lantern: First Flight"; a prerequisite ad from Blu-Ray; and trailers for "Terminator: Salvation", "Watchmen" & the video game adaptations of Terminator & Watchmen
It was a while after I watched Watchmen that I got around to getting this companion film – essentially put together from the reading of the comic of the same name within the comic of Watchmen. Not being a massive defender of the comic, I am not petty about it nor do I wish to debate for hours about how the film works without it, how the changes in the film affect this film, how you must be an idiot if you think this, or how you must be an idiot if you don't think that – and so on. No, instead I came to the short film knowing its parallels with the main story/film and yet also keen to see how it works as a film full stop.
The answer is that it works very well because it produces a really gaudy depiction of the story with a much clearer link to the mental journey of Ozymandias and/or Rorschach – again I cannot be bothered to debate it on the message boards, for my money it works for both. The film is really well animated but not to the point that it is stylised to the point where it doesn't feel real. Instead, the gore and horror is made to feel very real and very horrible – not "owh gross" horrible in the way teen slasher films are, but it is really quite tangible how awful events are from start to finish. The story is quite simple but, because the horror is so well captured, it doesn't really matter if you watch this with Watchmen in mind or not – although of course it is meant for you to do so as well. The delivery is generally strong as well thanks mainly to the impressive delivery from Butler as the captain in narration. His haunted and nuanced voice is a great fit with the graphics – in particular the captain showing on his face what we are hearing.
It is ironic because, while I thought that the full film of Watchmen struggled because of how it stuck to the events in the book to the detriment of the heart of the book, the Black Freighter appears to have captured both. I'll let others argue it out but for me it was best to strip this out of the film and, while it works well in the comic spread out over the telling of the main story, it works equally as well here as a companion short film.
In the fictional world depicted in the "Watchmen" comic book, superheroes are controversial public figures and therefore not standard comic book subject matter. Instead, other stories of heroism like pirates are popular. "Tales of the Black Freighter", therefore, is a comic-within-the-comic about the titular Freighter and its pirate crew.
In the "Watchmen" movie adaptation, "Tales of the Black Freighter" was to be presented in segments using stylized animation. However the complete film's run time would have extended beyond three hours, which the studio found unacceptable. Instead, "Tales of the Black Freighter" was incorporated into the film for the "Ultimate Edition" DVD and Blu-ray release; in addition to being available separately on DVD and Blu-ray. The DVD and Blu-ray versions will contain the following main presentations:
* "Tales of the Black Freighter": A animated short-film based on the comic-within-the-comic of Watchmen, in a drawing style close to that of original graphic artist Dave Gibbons. Rated R for violent and grisly images. Running time: 26 minutes
* "Under the Hood": A mockumentary short film based on the excerpts of the same name book withing the Watchmen mythology, supposedly written by Hollis Mason, aka Nite Owl I, exposing the background of many characters as well as a brief introduction to the alternate reality everything takes place. Rated PG for mild thematic elements, brief violent and suggestive images and smoking. Running time of 38 minutes.
As a extra features, both versions will contain:
* Story Within A Story: The Books of Watchmen: A short documentary on how Watchmen defined the metafiction in comic books, as well as its innovative narrative structure.
* A First Look at "Green Lantern: First Flight," the next DC Universe Original Animated Movie.
Also, exclusively in the Blu-ray version:
* "The Two Bernies": A scene from Watchmen not seen in theaters, featuring the news vendor and the kid reading the comic book beside his namesake.
* "The Why of Watchmen: Director Zack Snyder explains the reasons Watchmen is still so relevant in fiction and in the world today. Its a cue by a company called Groove Addicts called "The Beast at Our Door". The track was supposedly going to be found on their release 'Full Tilt 3', however inquiries about the subject to the Groove Addicts website are as of yet unanswered. a5c7b9f00b
