Rewatching it after many years, I was accidentally moved by the emotional atmosphere and many details of the film, and changed it to five stars.
The film is a typical hybrid of genres: superhero, near-future wasteland apocalypse, road movie and western.
The difference from most superhero movies is that the main creator does not create characters according to the play and formula, but cares, sympathy, love and respect for everyone. The characters created in this way are naturally different from ordinary genre films.
Logan, Charles, Laura, Caliban, those heroes who used to be dashing and handsome fell into the quagmire one after another. They grow old, lose hope, and endure humiliation, just like the giant-winged old man who fell into the backyard in Marquez's writings. We were able to see the superheroes, those subtle and difficult to hide the unbearable, struggling, embarrassing, only in this way, the final flutter of the light and the return of the wings is more contagious.
Impressive details, pick out some, just experience:
1. In the first fight, the car thief pulled out a pistol and shot. Logan anxiously shouted, "No, not the car" and blocked the gun with his body in order not to damage the car.
2. The katana sword hanging on the wall of Logan's home in Mexico is linked to the history of Wolverine 2.
3. Comic characters are reading their own comics and staring at their own stories. Logan scoffed at this, "It's all made up." Fictional and fictional dialogue. The location in the comics serves as a signal for the surviving mutants to rally.
4. Logan takes Charles to the toilet, a superhero routine.
5. A group of people bought new clothes in the shopping mall in Las Vegas. Charles took off the newly bought hat and put it on while he was still in the elevator. He immediately changed into new clothes when he returned to the hotel. Laura slammed the elevator buttons.
6. Logan buries Charles, "Well, it's got water..."
7. Laura took Logan's hand, their hands were covered in blood, and there was no sensational soundtrack. Then Logan shook off the little girl, slapped the car frantically with a shovel, and screamed loudly. The lens is a long shot.
8. Before Logan died, "Don't be what they made you", "So this is what it feels like", a distressed soul finally found peace.
9. After Logan was buried, the other young mutants were eager to run away, and their expressions were not sad, only Laura was reluctant. After all, it is difficult for the younger generation to understand the suffering of the older generation.
Quoting Zhang Tianyi's short comment, "The death of a peerless hero is not a loud bang, but a whimper. If someone is willing to cry at the grave, that is a good death."
X-Men and mutants have always been the subjects I am most interested in in superhero stories. If I write a long story in the future, I also want to write about a group of superpowers in the real world.
