This is not even a superhero movie. Its theme is about the twilight of heroes, and the age and time that no great warrior can fight against. The fearless hero who once slaughtered the Quartet has become a fallen uncle who has been running away. This kind of story is too cruel, even though I already knew the ending, but when everything happened, I couldn't help but wet the corners of my eyes.
I didn't like Wolverine very much before. When the first X-Men was released in the millennium, I was still in junior high school. I always feel that the protagonist is unremarkable in terms of style and ability, but Storm Girl and Laser Eye look much more attractive.
But he is the absolute protagonist and first fierce man in the entire series. With the accumulation of later series and the improvement of independent films, the life experience and character of Uncle Wolf have been continuously enriched. We became accustomed to the conversion of Hugh Jackman to Wolverine, to his stylish beard trimming and undressing when he didn't agree with him. The audience never worried about him dying, because they knew he was invulnerable, and they knew he had the protagonist aura.
He is ubiquitous throughout the X series. Whether he is the protagonist or a surprise guest appearance, I didn't even think that he would completely withdraw from this story. Without Wolverine's X-Men, can he be called X-Men?
But even if Australians live in self-discipline and eat protein powder to maintain their figure, even if his appearance is still at its peak, after all, he is already a man who is about to make five. Of course, at the age of knowing the fate of fighting in Hollywood, there are still many celebrities who still dare to fight, such as the model worker who is 6 years older than him. But even though he was tired, skin cancer also came to him, and it went up and down again and again. It is too reluctant to try hard to support a superhero who will never die. In 17 years, he played Wolverine 9 times. This has become the most important, classic and most influential role in his acting career. They complement each other and are almost complete. At this point, it's time for the curtain call.
Therefore, the final name of this movie is "LOGAN" instead of "WOLVERINE", which also implies that Wolverine is finally restored to human beings, unloading the burden of heroes.
But the first act of the movie still irritated me deeply.
FUCK, the drunk-eyed Wolf Uncle with a beard and beard spoke the first line. He found that several thieves were trying to hit his car. I thought I was going to watch a few unlucky homes get cleaned up, but the result was Uncle Wolf was beaten into a panic. He stretched out his steel claws and tried his best to kill two of them, but let the rest of them run away.
He didn't have the heart to chase, the fight made him pant and hesitated, and he was so angry that he could only yell into the distance out of thin air. His self-healing power is declining, he is suffering from disease, and the corresponding physical strength and combat effectiveness are also not as good as before. Every time he stretched out his steel claws, he had to endure the pain of Adelman's metal piercing his body, which also increased the risk of infection.
He is no longer a hero to defend the world, because even the enemy is dead. Logan is now just an online car-hailing driver driving a luxury car, taking a variety of passengers around in the feast.
There are very few mutants left in this world, and no new mutants will be born. Both he and Charles are waiting for death.
One day, Charles told him that a new mutant was coming.
This is impossible. There have been no new mutants for 20 years.
As a result, a Mexican woman found him with a little girl.
Troubles ensue, and they can only flee.
The movie then became a road movie. They went all the way north to the so-called shelter.
In this process, there is no hope. All the beauty that happened by chance, even what should be the ideal home, was finally destroyed in an extremely cruel way.
And he was completely powerless in the face of everything that was destroyed, killed, humiliated and damaged.
He tried to stretch out his steel claws to fight back again and again, but he could barely cope with it and ran away.
Where to escape? Knowing that the shelter is just a trick to deceive the children in the comics.
But he went anyway. Without Charles, he didn't know where to go.
At this time, the little hand took him.
X-23 is probably the most exciting loli character after the super killer girl in "King of the Sea".
The combination of violence and innocence, coldness and childishness makes this character exude unprecedented charm. The scene of her superpower appearance in the movie is really wonderful, even better than the first time Uncle Wolf.
Relatively speaking, the villain's sense of existence is very weak. Whether it is character or ability, as well as the appearance of killing Matt, it is only exaggerated.
There are some logical flaws in the story, but the excellent performance and strong atmosphere cover everything.
The worldview of the movie has shrunk. There are no more mutants. He is a story of escape and redemption. What he conveys is a strong sense of loneliness and depression. There is no hope, no place, no tomorrow. How resolute and cruel.
I have always felt that "Reverse the Future", where the old and the new meet, is the perfect ending of the old series. History is overturned, the universe is restarted, newcomers can open up new worlds with peace of mind, and old people can retreat.
But everyone still reluctant to bear Wolverine, pulling him out again and again, even if it is an Easter egg or a cameo. Until the end, this "Desperate War". This is not perfect. For an audience who has watched X-Men movies for so many years, this story is simply terrible.
But it is indeed a full stop, and everything ends here.
From the grand beginning to the end, it shrank into a lonely journey of three people, humble and small. Without destroying the world, without conspiring to shake the sky, Logan found his home on the border between the United States and Canada.
When watching the movie, some viewers cried.
I don't know if the tears flowed to Wolverine or the audience themselves. After all, he has accompanied many people through the very important years of nine films in seventeen years.
But in any case, it is over. Movies are just movies, and life must continue.
Hope is still there, in X-23, in those new mutants, in the unknown tomorrow, at the moment when we walk out of the theater, the warmth of spring has arrived, and the moisture in the corners of her eyes is blown dry by the warm wind.
You smile, go home, and quietly say goodbye to the whole era that belongs to him.
PS:
1. The domestic version has been deleted for 14 minutes, and the bloody and violent scenes are almost invisible.
2. No easter eggs. The feature film is the end.
