In the era when the whole people are in trouble, we can no longer watch a movie well.

Before I watched this film, I heard that it was the "most handsome and most basic" part of the X-Men series, and then it turns out that I am really not a rotten girl at all... What a joy, hahahaha→_ →

Let’s talk about this film seriously. When I was a freshman in high school, I saw the first part of the X-Men, which was cute by Wolverine, and started chasing... Later, I was attracted by the setting of this series.

Not to mention whether mutants are the next stage of human evolution. The existence of mutants is very embarrassing: Professor X helps ordinary people fight mutants and looks forward to being accepted by the society. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is at most just a tool, waiting for Professor X to defeat With Magneto, it is the human's turn to fight Professor X; Magneto is more Darwinian, the survival of the fittest, the evil human beings go to death! Although he is a villain, there is no so-called villain in the X series. This is a species' thinking and choice about its own destiny. Professor X and Magneto are working hard for the survival of their own race, that's all. It's a pity that the author and the audience are ordinary people, limited by their stand and interests, and the poor Magneto can only be the villain.

There are a lot of gorgeous dragon sets in this film. Strictly speaking, the "first lesson" can be a bit richer, showing the thinking of the dragon sets, and it will not make the characters other than Professor X Charles and the magnet king Eric appear so flat and NPC-like. , But fortunately, we can say that this is to highlight the main line: the process of two friends becoming enemies because of differences in ideas. Personally, I think the main line is quite successful. Some people say this is Ji, well, I don't think it at all...

But let me be idiot, Professor X is so handsome in his youth~ He was the most handsome when he gave a lecture at Oxford University! The vigorous youth is the cutest!

Here is a brief analysis of the reasons for the formation of the concepts of Professor X and Magneto. Of course, personal opinions may not be accurate for reference only.

Let me talk about Professor X. Both parents have died. He lives alone in a villa in the wealthy New York area. He lives a superior life, has a good personality, and has no hatred with the people around him. In addition, his superpower is to see through the minds of others. This almost unconcealed ability and even the proper use of it is of great benefit. It is so easy to be loved by others. Then his concept is as follows: He is different but accepted and even loved by society, so other mutants should also be treated like this. This kind of thinking is natural, and there is nothing wrong with standing in the position of a mutant. He feels that seeing through the mind invading consciousness is no different from looking weird or shooting a laser. But if you stand from the standpoint of ordinary people, people who see through your mind can be good at observation to explain (disguise), but the blue sister in blue and Hank with big feet are not so easy to accept, a strong sense of rejection and Fear of the unknown will prompt humans to kill mutants. This is the idea of ​​Magneto.

Magneto was a German. During World War II, his family was imprisoned in a Jewish prison. After being found to have magnetic ability, he threatened his mother's life to show his ability and agreed to cooperate. However, because of his young age and unstable ability, he witnessed his mother being shot and killed by Professor Shang. Planting the dark seeds, coupled with Professor Shang's years of indoctrination and education, Darwinism is deeply rooted in the heart, and the character is impulsive and violent. The hatred of war criminals (actually framed) towards the German army is of course needless to say, but Magneto is more of a mutant, and his idea is different. It is the hatred of one species against another. Although Professor Shang is of the same kind, he killed him. For his mother, it was too cruel to the little Magneto who was kind and inexperienced at the time, and that was an unshakable hatred. But although Professor Shang is an enemy, the concepts of the two people are completely synchronized. Magneto Wang and Professor X's brief cooperation is only because of the same enemy, not the same dream.

Professor X and Magneto found the small mutants together, and by the way they used their superpowers to the ground, killing Professor Shang together. The common enemy is gone, well, there is no way to see the two friends who had cooperated. Is there any reason to act together again? Although the two people are reluctant to give up in every possible way, but the different ideas are after all different ideas. The old enemy is indeed a very tangled word.

Throughout the whole film, there are too many NPCs in the Dragon Set, part of the plot is rather bloody, and the emotional drama is too blunt and unreasonable, and one star is lost.
