This is an article that I wanted to write a few months ago. Now that I've finished it, I feel relieved. Uncle Wolf, I'm here to say goodbye to you.
A person
a life play
There is so much to say about Rogan...

Remember when you saw this young fresh meat "Uncle"? The time has been blurred, but I can still vaguely remember buying back the three "X-Men" series with my parents. When he first came into my sight, my heart was captured by him.

In fact, there has always been a child in Logan's heart who needs warmth. No matter how fierce his appearance is, using cigars and alcohol to numb himself is actually just his disguise, because he doesn't want the people around him to be hurt. And deliberately make them stay away from the fake face.
From the first "Wolverine", Uncle Wolf was only the child of a frail and sickly farmer, but his father's death activated the genes in his body. At the moment when the claws burst out, he chose a man who did not belong to him. Life is also doomed to the birth of a tragic character.
From the middle of the 19th century until World War II, James Host has experienced too many ups and downs, and has seen too many partings. By chance, he joined Squad IX, a special operations unit made up of mutants. He saw more killing, more cold humanity, he was tired, scared, afraid that he would eventually become numb and become a killing machine in such an organization, so he quit.
In a small town in Canada, he met a beautiful girl, Silver Fox. It was the first time in his life that he realized that in addition to killing and cruelty, there are other emotions in this world, such as love.
But fate destined him to no longer have a normal life, his lover was killed, he rejoined Stryker's X plan, became Wolverine, and in the final duel, Stryker used a bullet to take away all the memories of his lover. Beneath his immortal body, the damage to his body and his heart that he is about to endure is accumulating...

In World War II, Hiroshima, Japan, Wolverine rescued Yashida; now, Logan lives in the Canadian jungle, bearing the nightmare and pain caused by killing Jean.
Fate brought him to Japan, where he met the third love in his life, Mariko. Even if he has lost his immortality; even if he is faced with an army of thousands of horses; even if he knows that this time he will die, Logan still goes. This time, he does not want to lose his beloved again.
In the end, he lost his steel claw and was almost taken out of immortality, but in the end, that nightmare disappeared. In the final scene, Uncle Wolf and Mariko kissed goodbye at the airport, and Mariko blurted out the words: "Stay." So seductive as Jean's words in a dream, but in the end, Logan refused. At that moment, he seemed to see another piano. If he didn't stop there, then the next scene he saw would most likely be her corpse.

In March of this year, Uncle Wolf came out of our sight with his last movie and a period of time...
When the background music of Johnny Cash's "hurt" played slowly in the trailer, looking at the scars on Logan's back and the sadness on his face, at that moment, Logan was no longer Wolverine, he was just like most mortals Just like, living an ordinary human life of James Host.
As sung in the music: "I hurt myself today." Uncle Wolf, used alcohol to numb the pain in his body, and use alcohol to numb his mental pain. In this era, the mutants are no longer able to call the wind and the rain, and their living conditions have already turned sharply, and Rogan and Charles are just two remaining in this era who are no longer young and no longer have powerful abilities.” mortal".
Unlike most commercial superhero movies, the whole movie has almost no strong fight scenes, no strong personal heroism, just a twilight wolf, an old man with Alzheimer's disease and a rebel period of the little loli.
The moment Uncle Wolf saw Laura, based on the experience of a person who had been through nearly 160 years, how could he not find out that Laura was his daughter, but he just didn't want to admit it.
Charles said: "She's like you." Not only represents Laura's ability, but also refers to the fact that Laura's life experience and personality are almost too similar to Logan's. Logan saw her as he saw his former self. He rejected her, in fact, he was rejecting his former self-the self who was once degenerate and made a mess of bloodthirsty life.
The hero of the past, the old age, the last hope of the mutants, when the people around Logan left him one by one, Logan finally chose to lose his ability to keep those children.
"All the people I love and those who help me eventually disappear from my eyes." This may be the source of Logan's pain in his life, and the reason why he has always kept his face away, and this curse eventually Fulfilled by Professor Charles. Uncle Wolf was angry, Uncle Wolf became violent, and fought fiercely with that young "self" - X-24, but under the erosion of time, his body was no longer as good as his younger self. Leaving with this resentment, silently burying Charles, and taking Laura to the unknown distance.
But Uncle Wolf still has hope in his heart. He has witnessed the rise and fall of the X-Men. With his own experience, he has already judged that these children will be the hope of the entire mutant, so he will save them at all costs, even if it is Inject that potion that is enough to make him lose all his abilities, even in a duel with his young "self". At that moment, when Uncle Wolf shuttled through the woods, slaughtering mercenaries one after another, the wolf in his heart, the brave and proud Wolverine, overlapped with the current Logan.
However, these temporary ability activations brought a huge backlash. The steel claws have disappeared, the self-healing ability is completely gone, and even his physical strength has been exhausted, but this is how he is, even if he is knocked down by the enemy 10,000 times. Earth, there will still be 100,000 times to rise from the ground, the blood of natural pride flowing on him, even a powerful X-24 cannot defeat him.
At the end, Logan's body was penetrated, and the anger in his eyes passed a little bit, "Is this death?" Logan was relieved. At the last moment before his death, he should have seen that these children will create a new era. And he finally got free...
wantonly
So back to the beginning of everything, Uncle Wolf is still looking for the warmth of home, still looking forward to a warm life of ordinary people and the love between relatives
Finally, he found it. In the home of the black farmer, the three of them sat at the table with the farmer's family, chatting about the former college, joking about each other, just like a real family, a father took his daughter and his elderly father to Like an outing, Rogan smiled. He or the three of them finally felt what a real home was like after so many years.
It's just that this warmth lasted too short, and then it was the pain and anger of losing a loved one. But this love is enough.
This love supports Logan to continue moving forward. This love gives Logan the courage to live, and makes him dare to face aging and face his younger self.
This love has transformed Laura from a hot-tempered tomboy into a girl next door, a sensible little loli who cares for her father, and has also enabled her to be strong in the future and be able to be on her own.
This love made Professor Charles in his later years feel the love and affection of the world in addition to the fear of imminent death...
Finally, a part of the lyrics of "hurt" is the conclusion of the whole article.
I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that is real
The needles tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become?
My sweetest friends
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
