For example, in Alien: Covenant, the dissected body of Elisabeth Shaw was supposed to have her eyes open, but Fassbender asked for them to be closed because he couldn't focus. Or certainly an unknown case. In the film "Pirates of the Twentieth Century" of the year 1979, the antagonist had to torture a captive woman. The role of the villain was played by Talgat Nigmatulin, a man with very strong principles. So hard that, being a martial arts master, he allowed himself to be beaten to death, because the attacker was older, and Nigmatulin did not beat old people. Of course, he refused to play in this scene and therefore the actress who played the captive lied that she was a masochist. So it is quite possible that in the case of ?Watchmen? the changes were caused precisely by the actor?s desire.

There is a world of difference between actors being uncomfortable and the camera work being done to put emphasis on Sally's breasts for a quick flash to get you in to Eddie's mind. Seeing as the flashy close up is not unique to that scene but shares a purpose, said purpose *also* being an example of missing the point of the Watchmen story, it's the director's intwntion
