In the movie version of the "X-Men" series, Wolverine’s stunts are not outstanding in terms of "anti-physics". The sharp claws in the hands, the reinforced iron bones, and the self-healing are all the imagination of some special abilities that have a long history of mankind. This is a man who fought melee in battle. He was not so deep, sometimes rude, but firm and brave. It can be said that with the extraordinary power of human primitive physical power, Wolverine is full of classical heroes. Taste, with an anti-hero temperament, in the suffering of mutants, he is the closest to a mortal. Finally, in the third part of his independent "Wolverine" series, the wolf king has reached the end of the legend. With more human bravery and weakness, he finally returned to the world and dedicated nearly two decades of super In the heroic movie craze, a work with unique temperament and full of sadness.
In 2000's "X-Men", Hugh Jackman's version of Wolverine made its first appearance, full of the crudeness and rashness of the hero of the West, which made me feel a little Eastwood. After that, Wolverine used a pair of sharp claws to hit a piece of space in the "X-Men" series and became the representative hero and key clue figure of this series. At the same time, in the entire series, he is a character with the color of a prodigal son. He doesn't want to be a hero, but he has an endogenous sense of justice and responsibility. In American movies, this kind of character wants to get rid of the troubles of the world. But the anti-hero style that has to struggle in it often creates a true hero who is more intimate. Unlike, for example, the Storm Girl and the Phoenix Fire, which make "the wind and the clouds change color, and the grass and trees are in the same sorrow", Wolverine embodies a kind of wild power, which is simply "right front"!
The story of the "X-Men" series itself also carries a kind of tragic temperament, and in similar movies, the depth of thinking is getting stronger and stronger. From the initial positioning of a simple sci-fi action movie to the intensification and mediation of conflicts between the "mutant" group and humans, there is always the life and death of one after another with tragic characters. In "X-Men: Reversal" In "Future", this kind of profound thinking about knowing what cannot be done has reached a climax. In the third part of "Wolverine", thinking on such topics continues, but the style of the whole film gives people a sense of mutation, yes, the taste of science fiction, the mutants' special functions are gorgeous and hot The scene faded away, leaving us with the down-and-out Wolverine, the frail and aging Professor X, which was shocking.
The background of the story is bleak from the perspective of mutants, but it is even more sad and lonely from the perspective of Wolverine. Yes, Wolverine itself was born at the end of the 19th century. Despite its special appearance, it can be called the "Old Man of the Century". Someone once did philosophical thinking about longevity and immortality, thinking that this may be a painful process, because you will watch, the familiar people around you, the people you love, the people you care about grow old, die, and you are the only one left behind. More lonely, immersed in the memories. Wolverine’s life is entering this paradox. With the "X-Men" series, he loves him and hates him, and he bears his fight. How many people have been with him along the way, and how many people have died in his life. In this film, he and Professor X are alone in the taste of loneliness.
I like the tune of this movie, Wolverine, the most human character of this mutant, returned to the world and became Logan. He used to be a master and can cut tanks, but now he is a driver for a living, facing the hustle and bustle of all kinds of people around, he can only deal with it indifferently, not to mention the need to take care of Professor X who has lost the ability to live independently. Professor X is a complicated character in the "X-Men" series. He has a typical image of an elder with benevolent eyebrows, but he is also a leader who supports the crisis. He needs some insidious cunning and difficult decisions. He has the color of a politician, but someone must take on such a role.
In this film, Professor X is just a dying old man. The scene in the film where he insists on going to passersby’s home is a rare warmth in the repressive rhythm of the whole film. He tells Logan the preciousness of ordinary life, that For a moment, he just wanted to feel the taste of life that he had long been far away from in the family life of others. However, this calm was quickly broken. The embarrassment of mutants is that even though they have superpowers, as a minority ethnic group, they are always "abnormal", and even helplessly bring disasters to ordinary people around them. .
However, heroes are heroes after all. Logan continues a tragic trajectory of wanting to escape from the turmoil of the world, but having to continue to be awakened by his sense of justice and responsibility. In the film, he fights for survival with his "heir", a little girl, reminiscent of "This Killer Is Not So Cold", but the reality of life is so grim. He wants to protect a group of children and a group of mutants. The fire of survival burned up himself.
The climax part of the film embodies a kind of tragic comical. We see the children perform the special functions that we are familiar with in the past "X-Men" stories, but the struggle from the weak body seems so weak, just like a kind of Enhanced version of the magic trick. Therefore, they need Wolverine, and Logan needs to stand up again, let the claws pierce the skin, use their chests to resist bullets, and use their lives to draw the final chapter of their legend.
Finally, when the little wolf girl put down the cross to form an X symbol, it also embodies a kind of inheritance. They hope that they have tried to reconcile with the mainstream values of mankind, just like the cross on the tomb of the western body. However, they are variants. People, their symbol is a capital "X". This unknown number means a variable that the children who survived could not predict. Jackman is old, and the Wolverine he played is also tired. In fact, most of the first-generation actors of the "X-Men" movie series have gradually faded out. Therefore, this "Wolverine" is a farewell performance for this series of generations. , And with the new generation of mutants on the road, Hollywood certainly will not let this IP fade away, and the new "X-Men" story will also be on the road, which is still worth looking forward to.
