...imagined the Soviet Union could collapse under its own dead weight. In that sense, Watchmen is another replay of the Nixon years to which Hollywood filmmakers are addicted - Frost/Nixon, Milk, etc. - and a period piece that may not resonate with audiences who weren't alive when Tricky Dick was in power.
