Different

I watched X-Men: the First Class a while ago. X-Men has filmed five parts now, and each part has its own style. Unfolding, the grand scene of the third part, then to Wolverine’s solo show, and finally back to the original point. In my opinion, the ranking should be the first in the First Class, followed by the rankings of 3, 2, and 1, and the naked men are jumping around. Wolverine can only be ranked last.
In fact, everyone should expect the success of the first lesson. The two most attractive characters in the X-Men series, Professor X and Magneto, are both starred by well-rounded old opera bones. They are foreshadowed by three films. Hanging appetite, they impressed many audiences with their personal charm, and then released a prequel starring two young but very outstanding actors, which is like the climax after full foreplay (please allow me to be evil XD), this one The movie is not popular XD Of course, the plot of the movie itself, the scenes and other actors are also very good, except for Darwin's unclear death, it is very good, especially the final grand scene is used very decently (decent means should Just use it, not the whole movie is bursting from beginning to end, it’s really aesthetic fatigue), especially the scene where the submarine breaks through the water and floats in the air. I really want to say "Sheldon at this moment." With tears streaming down my face."
I remember that in the trailer, there are two lines of subtitles: Before he was Professor X, he was Charles, before he was Magneto, he was Erik. After watching these two lines, I was really moved. ... the abilities of the two are different from the Beast or Mystique that can be seen at a glance, which prevents them from being directly discriminated against by people, but the external environment in which the two are located allows them to embark on a completely different path. The peaceful environment and the wealth of his family gave rise to Charles’ idealistic and hypocritical character. He is idealistic because he has not suffered setbacks, and his hypocrisy may come from his own excellence and family background. Maybe he didn’t even notice it. No matter how much he admired Raven's ability, he did not regard Raven, who was born different from himself, as the same kind, and this also made Raven finally leave him. And Erik, who has a human appearance but was persecuted because he was a Jew, feels even more empathetic. If there were no World War II and no concentration camps, perhaps Erik and Charles would not be so different, and would really fall in love with each other. (No...like-minded... …) But there is no if. For Erik, "Peace is never the option." The hatred in his heart cannot be eliminated. For him, only he and other mutants are at war with the whole world (by the way, most of the skills It makes sense for mutants who look less like Magneto to choose Magneto. Indeed, he can better protect their interests).
Although the plot of each movie is slightly different, there is always a main thread running through the entire series, and that is the contradiction between mutants and humans.
Having said that, I am not a person with intense emotions, and I like to divide things up and solve problems logically, putting emotions aside, (according to some people who know me well, it is actually very cold), so see Those movies called Unthinkable and so on are often not at all. The most common thing when watching movies and TV shows is "Why are these people so irrational, how should they be." (In short, they are not good at empathy. ), so in fact, for a long time, I can’t understand why mutants are so bitter and enmity, and why humans are so hostile to mutants (of course, this is a movie, but in reality, whites discriminate against blacks. The persecution of Jews, and of course the behavior of Islamic extremists today), I can’t understand the love that lives and die, and naturally I can’t imagine how there would be such inexplicable hatred.
However, I know that this kind of strange feeling does exist. The similar argument of "non-self race must have different hearts" can be seen in various media every day, and now it is not only between races, As long as they have different values, different ways of thinking, and different viewpoints, they can be hated to death. Then maybe the hatred between mutants and humans is really that deep.
There is another thing I can understand, and that is the difference. Of course, my difference and the difference between mutants are not the same, but every time I think of myself because of my small differences, I am expected to become a little more normal. , And magnify this pressure one hundred times, one thousand times, maybe that's what the mutants can experience, and they are facing the enemy that is really going to kill them, the army with live ammunition, and the special If you design a machine to exterminate mutants, you can imagine the difficulties they struggled with.
"People who claim to be successful people have the right to draw circles. Those in that circle are normal, and those outside the circle are abnormal." Seeking common ground seems to be deeply imprinted in the DNA of animals, but differences are preserved. The point has yet to evolve. Until now, religious wars have not ceased, and the struggle between the church and the secular has not ceased, racial discrimination and regional discrimination have not disappeared, and there are all kinds of different treatments. In this world, it seems that difference is a mistake. .
If there are mutants, I hope that both they and humans can do better than in the movie, but looking at the current world, it seems that this wish is a bit too unrealistic.
