I didn't like this movie at first.

The subject of X-Men has been badly photographed. From "X-Men 123" to "Wolverine Prequel", this kind of superhero story is nothing more than a person who accidentally or deliberately acquires a certain super power, and then he is suspicious of himself. In the process, one or a group of evil super-powers suddenly appeared. In the end, the good defeated the bad, proved himself, and by the way, still embraced the beauties. By the way, remember to please the audience in the middle, find a beautiful and sexy heroine, interspersed with some passionate scenes, so that the audience thinks this movie is interesting.

Such a routine is not uncommon in American comics and superhero-themed movies. Since the general plot has almost been speculated, why should we watch it as always? , By the way, special effects. Speaking of special effects, to be honest, apart from the story content, "X-Men: First Class" is far inferior to "X-Men 123". In terms of special effects, "X-Men 123" is gradually upgraded, the scene becomes more ambitious, the lineup is strengthened, and the fight becomes more intense. It can be said unceremoniously that "X-Men 3" has reached the extreme in the entire X-Men series.

However, commercial film companies will never let go of the opportunity to make money, even if it is a little bit, so just like "Star Wars" and "Batman", the X-Men's predecessor came, the first is "Wolverine" "Prequel", because the special effects of this film has been leaked on the Internet before it is released, the box office of this movie is greatly reduced, so this movie cannot be said to have failed, but that it failed to meet the requirements of the film party, "Wolverine Prequel" "As a test of the X-Men, I probably just wanted to try the audience's attitude towards the X-Men. As a result, the market was very optimistic. Even though the Internet has leaked, it can still create a good box office, and FOX has made its determination to continue filming the X-Men series.

As a result, we can see this story that brings all the plots down to the original point: "X-Men: First Class".

In 2002, "Infernal Affairs" was released with great success. When talking about the film, Mak Siu-fai and Chuang Wenqiang said that their original intention was to make the psychological consciousness of a police film more intense, but they did not expect this. This movie will be a rescuer for Hong Kong movies. In the same way, "X-Men: First Class", which has a strong psychological description, will also redefine the X-Men series.

Professor X and Magneto once had a great friendship, but because of the different personal wishes in the end, they finally parted ways. In fact, this ending has already appeared in the beginning of their childhood. Professor X Charles met the first mutation When a person transforms into a girl, his emotional reaction is surprise and luck, because he knows that he is not alone in this world. He understands that every mutant being scattered in every corner of the world will appear lonely and suspicious, and his mind will be abnormal. Fragile, he is determined to become a professor of biology, looking for the cause of mutation, using his unique ability to gather these people, and build a family for these mutants with huge abilities and unlimited potential, and benefit the world together. However, Magneto King Erik lost his mother since he was a child and became a weapon of the Nazis. He has never received the warmth of his family since he was a child. His inner beauty has been suppressed by the cruel environment at that time. To be able to work for the Nazis, all he wanted to do was to avenge the society, until he discovered that he could avenge the society with his own power. And when he first met a mutant person who was like him, he was already an adult, and his inner values ​​for the whole world had been formed. Although the cooperation with Professor X was moved and laughed, the final separation was already doomed early in the morning.

In the last 20 minutes, the villain boss successfully persuaded Magneto to depict the world that Magneto wants in his heart. Since this world cannot accommodate us, then our race should create a world for ourselves. When mankind stopped the civil war and began to turn the spearhead towards mutants, Magneto further strengthened his determination to break with mankind, and Professor X also expressed hope and sympathy for the beautiful existence of mankind. The missiles that flew in reversed their direction. When the air exploded (PS. The US military commander said when he saw the missile turn, I am honored to serve with you. I am very touched.) At this moment, the two of them have grasped the future direction of the mutant. Completely opposite.


Magneto reached out to Magneto and invited her to join his new camp. But Magneto still has loyalty and gratitude to Professor X, but Professor X asked her to join Magneto's team with tears in her eyes, because He knows that great friendships will not be broken by differences of opinion.

Or, many years later, when Professor X and Magneto met at the Golden Gate Bridge, they would remember the great friendship in the battle in Cuba.

Regarding the relationship between humans and mutants, I want to put this movie and "Watchmen" together, and I will find that the two movies have amazing things in common. The same is that during the Cold War, the Cuban Missile Crisis promoted The development of the plot, the Third World War is about to start. Mutants and Dr. Manhattan also acted as the targets of human transfer of artillery while saving mankind. This is the price they paid to stop this world war and fail to correct the stupidity and fear of mankind. . Because the way "Watchmen" tells the story is a bit boring, the audience seems to be unable to endure this long three hours, so this important task fell on "First War", fortunately, it completed this interpretation very well.

Intensifying the psychological portrayal of flooding themes has saved these flooding themes. "Infernal Affairs" saved the undercover series, and "Spider-Man" saved the superhero series (the civilian identity of Peter in the first Spider-Man has gained many Americans The people's approval, so far the phrase "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility" has become the endorsement of all superheroes), and "First Battle" saved the X-Men series.

Or it can save "Transformers 123". Many years ago, on the planet Sebastian, Optimus Prime and Decepticons were good partners who fought together...
