Second appointment with our column dedicated to cinema: Silk Spectre from the movie "Watchmen" is the protagonist of this article.
Watchmen is a 2009 American neo-noir superhero film directed by Zack Snyder, based on the 1986–87 DC Comics limited series of the same name by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. It stars an ensemble cast of Malin Åkerman, Billy Crudup, Matthew Goode, Carla Gugino, Jackie Earle Haley, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Patrick Wilson.
A dark satirical and dystopian take on the superhero genre, the film is set in an alternate history in the year 1985 at the height of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, as a group of mostly retired American superheroes investigates the murder of one of their own before uncovering an elaborate and deadly conspiracy, while their moral limitations are challenged by the complex nature of the circumstances.
Malin Åkerman is the amazing and supreme latex superhero Silk Spectre a so strong and determinated
character sometimes vulnerable but absolutely combative and vital.
The choice of latex costume was apt and decisive for launching this character first of the comics and then of her film adaptation as an icon and dream for thousands and thousands of fans.
Thanks to the great success of the film, it' s so difficult to imagine Silk Spectre in a different costume, certainly far from that of comics, but which has had a considerable visual and emotional impact.
A lot of cosplayers have interpreted this character, with mixed success, and many artists and photographers have given their interpretation.
We have the honor and the fortune to show you some watercolors of the great Belgian cartoonist Eric Udo Emmers who kindly granted us the opportunity to publish them.
W Latex ... ahemmm..Silk Spectre!
