Wolverine is a hero who bears original sin.
In the first "Wolverine", Wolverine appeared on the scene, still a feverish young Zhengtai, accepting the love of her father. In the next five minutes, his loving father was shot. The angry wife showed her claws for the first time and killed the gunman, who was Wolverine's true biological father. The mother looked at her son with doubts in her eyes and disgust in her mouth:
What kind of monster are you?
"Father-killing" is a big crime in Western culture. Oedipus in Greek mythology was abandoned since he was a child, without knowing the true identity of his parents. Without knowing it, he killed his father Raios, inherited his father’s kingdom, and married his biological mother, Jocasta. As a result, the kingdom of Oedipus was cursed, and disasters occurred one after another. Oedipus, who discovered the truth, blinded his eyes and gave himself a cruel punishment than death. Wolverine seems to have escaped punishment after his "father killing". He stopped the brutal enemy. He broke the evil plan. He won the favor of beauties. Even when the hero is late, young people will tell him "I am your fan".
In "Wolverine 3", the opinion of daughter X-23 represents most people's thinking: Wolverine kills bad guys and represents justice.
Wolverine answered:
Good guys and bad guys, aren’t they the same?
The killing itself was the punishment Wolverine gave himself . Through the killing, he reminded himself of the bad night and the anger and cruelty that accompanied it. Therefore, even if the killing of Wolverine was of justice, it was never easy. Deep down, Wolverine has always been the weak, gentle, and gentle little Zhengtai, the helpless child who fled hurriedly in the dark woods after the "father killing". For Captain America and Iron Man, the black and white of the world is too clear. For Wolverine, the first to be judged is himself. Any judgment of "good or bad" is like blinding Oedipus's eyes, giving Wolverine a dark background.
The tragic fate has shaped the character of Wolverine. He is willing to be passive and refuses the proactiveness of a "guard of justice". The most common reason for Wolverine's actions is "revenge." "Vengeance" is personal grievances and interests. Even if it saves the world by the way, Wolverine does not have to accept compliments from others. He was immersed in the torture of killing, constantly reminding himself of the fact of "father-killing" . He was also tired of killing, suspending long self-punishment, and letting love spread. However, as he said to his daughter in tears, he always brings bad luck to the one he loves. This is Wolverine's judgment to himself, and it hasn't changed for a long time. In "Wolverine 2", he kisses Mariko Yashida goodbye. Mariko Yashida said in his ear,
stay
Wolverine declined. He replied with a sense of justice for the first time:
I am a fighter and have been hiding for too long.
A reasonable reason, a pale excuse.
If it remains immortal, Wolverine will still raise steel claws for various reasons or excuses. The punishment of "father killing" will be like Sisyphus's boulder, never ending. Fortunately, "Wolverine 3" put an end to this curse. In this closing chapter, Wolverine has white hair, limped legs, coughing ceaselessly, and his body is full of old wounds. He worked as a driver incognito, opened the doors for passengers with umbrellas, and used his body to block bullets in the car. The audience can't help but feel a kind of "heroic twilight" sadness. But just think about it, how easy it is for a superhero to want a prosperous life.
More likely, Wolverine is enjoying the open side of fate:
Worry about the humble salary.
Take urine for the old professor.
There is no way for his daughter.
These daily firewood, rice, oil and salt have reduced Wolverine to a "daily-used" superhero. But you may remember that these ordinary people's worries were once dreams of Wolverine. Think about that year, he was logging in Canada, how proud of his honest income of "no killing". Thinking about that year, he changed into the leather jackets taken out by the old couple on the farm, full of energy, as if he were a son of man. In that year, he helped cut trees by the sea and watched lovers squatting and teasing children. The beautiful moments are short and fragile, and Wolverine plunges into deeper darkness again and again. Only when the twilight years are approaching, the lost beauty returns in a humble form :
The professor stuck his tongue out to him like a child.
The daughter asked him to sleep on his leg from noon until dusk.
A group of children laughed and took small scissors to trim his beard into a funny look when he was young.
These bridge segments reveal the intention of the creator. Uncle Hugh, who plays Wolverine, is determined to end the entire series with "Wolverine 3". The reason for this, in addition to Uncle Hugh's age, is his recurring skin cancer. Uncle Hugh's personal status is quite similar to that of Wolverine in the film. "Wolverine 3" naturally incorporates Uncle Hugh's personal insights. After 17 years of acting as Wolverine, Uncle Hugh has grown from a low-profile actor to a Hollywood star with a salary of more than 20 million US dollars. Wolverine has influenced Uncle Hugh's life deeply enough, and Uncle Hugh has also become the most qualified person on this planet to interpret Wolverine. For this long-dark character, "forgiveness" is the best farewell .
At the end of the movie, Wolverine is on the verge of death. The daughter cried bitterly and yelled "Dad". Wolverine said easily:
It turns out that death is the feeling.
The thorns in the eyes were pulled out, and the darkness faded. He could finally see the boat that chased the sun.
