Are we bored or do we really like to understand the past of celebrities before they become famous?

The movie "Wolverine" is more suitable for two kinds of people to watch. One is the diehard "X-Men" comics and movie series, who have a strong interest in exploring the past and present of the X-Men, and the other is purely I want to relax, I want to lean on a comfortable sofa and watch a handsome man, a beautiful woman, an action-satisfying, philosophical and speculative movie that explodes too much, so I can go to the unit to deal with the boss the next day. For these two audiences, "Wolverine" is a very good choice. I think if someone scolds "Wolverine" everywhere as having no thoughts and meanings, then this kind of person will either have an abnormal mind or be too idle. Finding the meaning in a summer POPCORN movie is like going to a video game hall to find an accountant with a sleeve. By the standards of summer POPCORN movies, "Wolverine" is also a good film, because the things that should appear in the regular summer file routine, "Wolverine" are done very well.

For those of us who have not been baptized and immersed in MARVEL comics since we were young, watching "Wolverine" is actually a lively scene. The film’s natural positioning is very clear on this point. From the perspective of "lively", it is done well. For fans of the real "X-Men" series, of course, you can see the origins of STRIKER, who in the third episode of "X-Men", tortured all the mutants enough, and is a true fan of comics since childhood. It is estimated that the scene when Wolverine was injected into the strengthened bones was as excited as a chicken blood (here is a compliment). The so-called "Legend has become history, and history has become myth." The only problem is that the "X-Men" series is far from reaching the level of "legendary", so no matter how lingering and touching the story of Wolverine before his fame in this "Wolverine", there is a distance between me and him. Let’s put it this way, since the first time I watched "Star Wars" in elementary school, Darth Vader has always been my most concerned character in the "Star Wars" series. He was the breathing black mask in the previous year’s "Star Wars Prequel 3" When I finally put it on Anakin's head, I felt all my hair stand up. That is called a prequel, and that is called "Legend has become history, and history has become myth." "Wolverine"? It's far from such an extent.

The coolest mutant in the "X-Men" series is not necessarily Wolverine, but it must be him who has the fullest image and the most close-ups of the camera lines. The perfect muscles make the boys want to go straight to the gym as soon as the movie ends, and the girls want to go straight to Hugh Jackman's home as soon as the movie ends. In addition, the son Lang Ye is both dedicated, strong in martial arts, and also caring. He often saves young mutants. Which girl does not like such a man? Not to mention that the guy has a great selling point that almost kills women in movies: amnesia. It is estimated that MARVEL’s market survey found that many fans of "X-Men" still smashed their mouths after digesting the trilogy, and they don’t seem to be full. "The Story" should have market share, so they took it. Judging from the box office rankings, many people really care about the story of Wolf's amnesia. Is it that people now suddenly like to learn about the past of celebrities before they become famous, or are we becoming more and more boring?
