Xmen is adapted from comics. I haven’t read any of its comic books. Judging from some scattered comic images, the images in the movie are much richer than those in the original comics. The characters in the comics are all superman-like. Muscle men, Cyclos (one-eyed), Magneto (magneto), Xavier (professor) are all like this. The storyline should be the same as Transformer (Transformers), both good and evil are against Lei, you come and me, justice ultimately defeats evil. The film borrows these images from the comics, but expands the context of the story. Realistic, adult wisdom is added to it. This is a bit like fan fiction, using well-known characters to attract everyone's attention while telling a story that can find a foundation in reality.
The super powers of Mutants in Xmen are estimated to be found in the myths, legends and folk tales of each culture. For example, the classic image of the gourd brothers, which we are very familiar with, is compatible with several XMen, such as the big baby cracked rock. The supernatural power of the second child, the clairvoyance of the second child, the ears of the wind, the invulnerability of the bronze-headed iron arm of the third child, the water of the fourth child, the fire of the fifth child, the invisibility of the sixth child, etc. This shows that even though people in different countries have different cultural backgrounds, they can still Find some common ideals and desires that can be understood by each other. What I want to say is that, compared to the more closed world of the Calabash Brothers, Xmen's story unfolds in the real human world. Although the Calabash Brothers is also a great work, it is a tragic allegorical work, but due to the over-simplification of its environment, it is more deadly that it contains a priori concept of good and evil. It was designed for scorpion spirit and snake essence from the beginning. Setting a negative position and placing the Seven Brothers in the position of the guardian of the world weakened the practical significance of the Calabash Brothers. Xmen are different, they live in our world, and their stories unfold around us, which gives it some strong realistic symbolic meanings, and faintly expounds a problem facing human beings: how do people who have differences each other Understand and live together. This theme is also the core of last year's Oscar's Best Picture-Crash. They abandon simple and absolute concepts of good and evil, and adopt a more rational and cautious attitude. From this standpoint, it is easier to be an adult than the original comics than Spider-Man and Superman than the Calabash Brothers. Accepted and recognized.
Unlike Spider-Man, Batman, Superman, Hulk, etc. XMen talks about not one person, but a large number of people. This makes the problem universal and general, which means that we cannot imagine it. The way to deal with special cases to solve the problem. Anyone with a foundation in science and engineering knows that the scale of the problem is often closely related to the problem-solving method. When a problem is specific and limited, you can always use some skills to solve it under the existing conditions. It must be grasped, and once the problem is generalized and the scale is unknown, this is the real challenge. Xmen does not specify the proportion of mutants in the entire human society, but from the second episode when Professor X uses the brain wave detector and the third episode, the mutants march after the government has issued the gene cure drug. Judging from the scene of the demonstration, there are definitely a lot of them. In this case, mutants are a social problem, not something else. Xavier is a sage-like character among mutants. He hopes to restrain the entire mutant society with education and inspiration and make it live in peace with ordinary humans. Like Confucius, he hopes to realize a world of harmony based on the noble self-criteria of social members. However, the power of moral governance is ultimately limited (at least I think so, Huang Renyu also had this opinion in the fifteenth year of Wanli), even though Xavier is among the mutants. The first sage and the pioneers established a talent school that has a far-reaching influence among mutants, and still cannot resolve the suspicion and mistrust between humans and mutants. After a series of incidents and individual conflicts, these conflicts include Magneto’s attempt to sabotage the UN General Assembly and mutate all participants in the first episode, the Blue Devils’ assassination of the president in the second episode, and the fact that some mutants committed crimes in the third episode ( The avatar robbed multiple banks at the same time), etc., the contradictions finally accumulated and broke out. This is the origin of the Xmen3 title-the Last stand, the last battle, that is, the war between humans and mutants.
The reason for this war is, of course, that humans have developed genetic healing drugs for mutants, which has caused mutants to deepen their distrust of and resistance to humans. This sentiment was used by Magneto to initiate the establishment of the rule of mutants. Of the rebellious war. The deeper reason is still the mistrust and misunderstanding between humans and mutants. Humans have developed corresponding cures
The initial policy was based on the principle of voluntariness to satisfy the mutant people’s desire for treatment. In fact, there are indeed some mutant people who suffer from the mutation and hope to be cured. This is evident in the scene of the parade. One side is queuing for treatment. The mutant team, on the other side, is a parade that fiercely opposes the drug, and some people despise the people receiving treatment. For example, Pyro (a classmate with IceMan) dropped out of school in the second episode and followed Magneto. The fire man mocked in the crowd. ICEMAN, do you want to get an injection? However, the Federal Army equipped the drug with weapons for safety reasons, which gave the mutant a very dangerous signal. In this situation, coupled with Magneto’s bewitching, the mutant was forced to engage in self-defense warfare.
The protagonists of the third episode are still Wolverine and Magneto. Although Jean Grey (Dr. Qin) is resurrected as Black Pheonix and is extremely capable, she is only equivalent to a representative of the anthropomorphic power of good and evil of a mutant. In the end, Was voluntarily killed by Wolverine. She is not the central figure in the development of the story. Even without her, according to Magneto’s character and beliefs, he would still provoke a war in that situation. The appearance of Jean only strengthened Magneto's confidence. Xavier was killed by Jean in this episode, but at the end, he was resurrected again (this is quite strange), so Jean’s resurrection really hasn’t changed, except that a Cyclos who loves her (one-eyed) died in vain, let the storm Takes over the position of Captain Xmen.
In X3, there are many contradictions in the mutant people, such as people with different political ideals, the peaceful side such as Xavier, the storm, the war-thirsty side such as Magneto, Fireman, and so on. Mutant’s crimes, relationship problems, etc., according to the relationship between ordinary people and mutants should also be mentioned, this kind of thing is similar to the legend of the white snake, there are some meanings of Romeo and Juliet, but Xmen’s 123 Not yet, as Rogue received treatment and changed back to an ordinary person, the relationship between her and Iceman is forming such a structure. If Xmen has a follow-up, we should be able to see how they are.
