The Epidemic Crazy Patching Man Series at Home, according to the timeline, from "First War" and "Wolverine" to "Reverse the Future", and then to "Apocalypse" and "Black Phoenix" (the old saying goes, you can’t catch up with *) Hot), and then began to refresh the old timeline.
In the reversal of the future, I became a fan of Grandpa Ian, who can be said to be the biggest motivation for me to play the third part. And no matter which timeline, I understand Lao Wan's mood and practices very well. Although I know that his method is wrong and arbitrary, I also know that the professor's "love&peace" is the final solution in theory (even if it is difficult and difficult). But comparing hearts to hearts, human beings always have a natural rejection of "heterogeneity" (this point is better reflected in the first battle and reversal in the future), and treat the weak with contempt and abuse, and the strong will never let go of suspicion and always want to dominate themselves. , This is nature. This is why Lao Cha Lao Wan’s contradictions are irreconcilable, and as long as you are a discriminated mutant, it’s hard not to support Lao Wan.
The new four may be due to space limitations, and the balance of tit-for-tat and sympathy between the ECs tilted to the right, which did not reach the level I wanted. In addition to reversing the future, the last two final anti-waters made me feel a bit blunt (there is definitely a pot of script). But when I got to X-Men 1, I found that although EC had reached a balance, the script was low-intellectual, the discussion on race was not deep enough, and the character handling was not good enough. It can only be said to be a good heroic movie of "confrontation between good and evil".
Then I opened X-Men 2, not only was I once again impressed by Grandpa Ian’s acting and handsome, but I was also pleasantly surprised to find that the quality of the script had a qualitative leap.
At the beginning of the movie, the narration passed down from the first one tells us straightforwardly: Humans will never let foreign races come to power. Then the opening of the movie suddenly sounded the most famous BGM of the X-Men that I had heard many times in the new four. I was so frightened that I hurriedly tuned back to 1 and found that the opening was not this one, but there was a song "The X-jet" and The classic melodies are somewhat similar. I guess John Altman adapted it accordingly? After that, he continued to participate in the soundtracks of Brian Singer's "Reverse the Future" and "Apocalypse", plus the screen of the biological gene + X logo, as long as Brian is the director, and listed this combination as a classic of the X series. It's not an exaggeration (the director is really a person with a sense of ceremony). The X2, which they first combined, was naturally the real beginning of the classic.
Accompanied by gorgeous Mozart, our Nightcrawler appeared, but it was a pity that just after the show, it ushered in a reversal and led to the proposition of "mutant freedom". Then began to introduce the status quo and psychological barriers of X-man members, the background of the story, the undercurrent surging between the government, mutants and evil scientists, the drugs to control the mutants, the big triangle, the Sifang (E/C/Human/Strek) The next plan... the plot is advancing rapidly, and the exciting game is dizzying.
Until the EC meeting and the villain exposed themselves, the situation began to reverse, and the decent situation went from bad to worse. Just 30 minutes later, there was a fierce fight, and the professor laser eye was caught; another half an hour later (the rhythm began to slow down), the nightmare of Uncle Wolf, the attack on the academy, the love resistance of the two couples... It was almost there. At the lowest point, fifty minutes have passed at this time.
But how can you just do evil by the villain! Don't we old man want to lay out noodles? ! So with the help of the witch, the old man escaped from the plastic prison in a very spectacular way! ! Senior inmate! ! You deserve it! !
Halfway through the movie time, it finally reached a turning point. The X-Men were in trouble again. The Iceman’s brother was brainwashed by the government for a long time and his brother was sour. He was mentally retarded and called the police. After he burned his yard in disguise, he finally achieved his goal-mutant I won't go to his ordinary family again. The government’s missiles are pressing harder and the professors are also under control. The situation can hardly get worse, and at this moment, it was Lao Wan who saved them from the fire and water! !
It turned out that Lao Wan wanted to deal with the mutant public enemy Stryker, and they immediately cooperated and exchanged information with the same goal. The pace is fast. After they have experienced the three-dimensional characterization of the forgiveness of the thousand layers of routines and the fight (exactly an hour and a half), Uncle Wolf discovered his life experience, the team piano reunited, the mystery was solved, the villain The evil plan to kill all heretics went bankrupt with the happy cooperation of the KMT and the Communist Party.
However, we all know that after cooperation, we will not be able to escape the civil war, so when the progress bar reaches the last 25 minutes, the situation is reversed again, and we can perfectly use Stryker's equipment to fight against the army! (Of course, he had premeditated.) Compared to the last EC's evenly matched (by his sister, after all, he also discovered Lao Wan's plan later), this Lao Cha has been eaten to death by Lao Wan during the visit. But in any case, this reversal is pretty beautiful, and if he hadn't become another Stryker, I would like to stand up and applaud. In the end, even if the plan did not succeed, Lao Wan calmly slipped away and rebelled against an impulsive student.
There are quite a lot of things involved in this movie. The main line has cooperation and confrontation between the four major camps. The side line has Uncle Wolf looking for memories and the growth history of the members, as well as the early love triangle and dusk love interspersed with it; there are various Variety of mutants: Jason who has been mentally pua, fire man who is eager to prove himself, phoenix slowly awakening, simple and kind nightcrawler...Even if not every line is described as satisfactory (such as naughty, I feel that the role of Acting No. 2 is also very fascinating, I can't figure it out), but it still shows us a vivid and three-dimensional world of mutants.
On the issue of race, X2 no longer only focuses on digging out the contradictions of the EC camp, and has done a more in-depth discussion than X1. It can be seen that in 2 there are not only the interpretation of themselves and other races by the Quartet, but also the attitudes of the members of the academy, between the uncle wolf and the academy, the ordinary family and the Stryker family to the mutant relatives.
Personally, I feel that the inadequacy is that the middle rhythm is too slow, there is no room to play after the middle of the professor, and the special effects seem to be not as eye-catching as the first (? Maybe a little visual fatigue did not look carefully), and there are some minor problems in the details. All in all, to discuss which is the best in the entire series, I may be wobbly in the first battle and the reversal of the future; to discuss which is the most classic, my answer must be X-Men 2.
