These people, whose destiny is very different from ordinary people, are also living hard and difficultly, just like us.

For the "X-Men" series and the character of Wolverine, I just probably know it. Without the strong recommendation and overwhelming praise from my friends, I would probably not have watched "Wolverine 3".
As a result, such a movie adapted from a superhero comic was completely different from the magnificence I imagined. Those mutants with special abilities, whether they are the older generation or children, the difficulties, pain, regrets and hopes they have encountered have made me see emotions and feelings similar to those of ordinary people. At many moments, I feel that these people whose destiny is very different from ordinary people are also living hard and difficultly just like us.

Aging is going on quietly
If I saw such a movie when I was a teenager, I might not have too much feeling about Wolverine’s aging.
We have been familiar with "Who can ask, Lian Po is old and can still have food" since we were young, but there are unwillingness and helplessness in this, and we have more than one heart but lack of energy. How can we experience it when we were young?
Wolverine’s situation in this movie can’t even be said to be “unrewarded”. He just wanted to buy a boat and live peacefully at sea with his friend Professor X, but he failed to realize such an ordinary wish.
From the skill of the new generation of Wolverine Laura, one can imagine how brave and good at fighting Wolverine when he was young, but now he is often exhausted.
After seeing Wolverine buried Professor X, he got in the car and found that he couldn't start. I was so angry and sad that he smashed the car with a shovel. It didn't take long for me to fall to the ground. What I remembered was not only those unscrupulous civil servants in ancient times. And the military commander, as well as myself, and friends of similar age.
How many of us in our thirties still maintain the spirit of our teenage years? How long can I keep my heart? The traces of the years are showing up little by little, and "old" and "good young" are no longer just jokes. Maybe one day we will be like Wolverine, sad and angry, but weary and knocked to the ground.
Come to a place where "doesn't exist"
The nurse who took Laura to hide around gave Wolverine an address near the Canadian border and asked Wolverine to take them there. However, it was actually an address from the comics, and it was called by Wolverine that only a small part of it was factual, and the others were all fictional comics.
Who would be willing to drive for two days to find a place in a comic? Watching Laura temporarily escape the danger, Wolverine was ready to leave her. But after all, they have experienced all kinds of dangers together, helped each other, and were bound by blood. At Laura's insistence, Wolverine mumbled "You know that place doesn't exist when you arrive" and went on the road reluctantly.
Before setting off, he said that he didn't have the energy to go so far. This was no excuse. Wolverine slumbered involuntarily while driving. Later, Laura drove, and the two went to the place called "Eden" in the comics.
It was deserted, but there was a hut on the top of the mountain. In this hut lived children who had been transformed into mutants who had escaped from the laboratory like Laura.
At first I saw that it was just the address in the comics. Like Wolverine, I felt like "Is this kidding me?" When they finally arrived and met with Laura’s friends, I saw that the children actually established a stronghold in the place that originally only existed in the comics, and made a plan to escape together. I kind of saw the "impossibility". The feeling of becoming a reality.
I think the "Garden of Eden" did not originally exist, but this place is the hope of the children. When they come here and find that they have nothing, they must be extremely desperate. It's hard to imagine how they built a hut on the top of the mountain, and how they waited for one companion after another. In addition to the instinct to survive, what makes them persevere is also a yearning for the future.
Human beings don’t violate the original intention
Wolverine didn't want to take care of Laura. The elderly and sick Professor X had already made him exhausted. He was worried that Laura would cause trouble, but also that he could not protect Laura. He drove away Laura time and time again, saying that she could not control her, let her find a way, but could not stand by when Laura was in danger.
When Laura and her friends gathered in the "Garden of Eden", Wolverine felt that she no longer needed herself, but Laura couldn't help feeling disappointed when he saw that he did not want to run away with them. Facing the sad Laura, Wolverine did not comfort him, but defended himself: I only knew you for a week, and finally brought you here without your money. What do you want from me?
When he calmed down, he weakly expressed the pain in his heart: I messed up everything, and all the people I cared about suffered misfortune.
Laura said, "I'll be fine."
She knew that he thought she was safer with her friends than with him.
It's hard to say when Wolverine's feelings for Laura changed from "don't want to care" to "very caring". But in the process, I can clearly feel the emotion that Wolverine can't ignore. Regardless of whether he was reprimanding or rejecting, he couldn't bear to let Laura face all kinds of dangers alone.
This can't bear it, isn't it just kindness? Isn't it the indelible humanity in the human heart?
Those profit-only developers may be able to create killing machines by any means, just like the duplicate Wolverine that appeared halfway through, only following instructions without any emotions. But as long as a person has a little conscience and a little sensibility, he will not become a machine.
The reason why the children who were transformed as killing machines can maintain a part of their innocence is more or less related to the nurse who takes care of them. It is also because they can't bear to watch the children being discarded as waste products, quietly letting them go out, and the new generation of mutants survives.
There are two lines in the film from "The Wilderness", in which the protagonist Sean said:
"People must be loyal to themselves, Joey, and can't go against their own nature. It's very difficult to live with killing. There is no way out. You have to bear it until you are right or wrong."
Wolverine and Professor X naturally knew what kind of life they were facing. They knew it was difficult to achieve but still tried, and told Laura about new possibilities.
This can be seen as a kind of inheritance of faith.
