Professor X, or how can I overcome my fears and be proud of mutants

As you can see, the title of this review comes from "Dr. Strange Love." Because the film is set in the Cold War, the director paid special tribute to the famous war room with circular fluorescent lights and "big slabs" in the film "Odd".

Of course, the Cold War is just a background, and the focus of this film is of course mutants—the United States and the Soviet Union are just being manipulated. The film itself is strong enough, with a degree of relaxation, and a bit of laughter, which is better than many comics.

According to previous rumours, some of the settings of the previous movies are so disregarded and a bit embarrassing...Of course, there are also various allusions in the X-Men such as the prototypes of celebro and danger room (what exactly does Wolverine want to explain when he comes out with pure soy sauce? ? Brother X knew that this man was okay when he saw him?). But to be honest, it feels weird to see Ci wearing a yellow and black uniform...

Accepting and identifying with the theme of self throughout the entire X-Men series, this one is no exception, although they are afraid of their appearance and feel lonely , Has not yet reached the point of being a public enemy of the whole people. This film explains why humans are full of fear and hostility towards mutants. At first, humans did not understand mutants, and unopened agents only made fun of them rather than hostile them. Until the last toss...so later mutants not only have to face self-denial, but also face discrimination, fear and hostility from society, making it even more difficult for them to "come out".

Professor X is really stupid and naive. It stands to reason that he can see through people's hearts since he was a child, and he shouldn't be so innocent. However, in order to compare with Brother Ci, Brother X had to be like a rich second generation who knows no human suffering.

The scraps of the CIA in the film... Even if you don't know what happened, the CIA wouldn't let them just leave them alone... In addition to the brainwashing kiss V5, Superman said that the Yali is very big!
