Before I went to the cinema, I had been bombarded by various Weibo big Vs, official accounts and film review blogs for half a month. All the feedback basically came with exclamation marks and tears. As a third-rate aesthetic audience who loves to follow the trend, he finally couldn't resist the power of public opinion, so he took the last train to watch it while rushing for papers. In general, it can be said that the sword is slanted in the superhero movie, but it is still an assembly line work, but some relatively heavy and serious content is interspersed in the action scenes and special effects. However, these parts that are relatively close to realistic works are too shallow to taste, so that audiences like me who do not have a Marvel fan filter, or who lack understanding of the comprehensive setting and history of this comic character, cannot feel the same way.
My personal favorite is the interaction between the professor and Wolverine. Whether it is the original line setting of the script or the interpretation of the two actors, they all show a fresh breath of life. Bickering, eye contact, knowingly accommodating each other, understanding and empathizing with each other's fears and pain, all the bridges idealize the "father-son" character relationship without sacrificing the sense of reality. The child-like stubbornness, decline, and incapacity of the elderly, which are unique to the elderly, and the weakness and helplessness caused by incapacity, as well as the tolerance for the younger generation based on understanding, are vividly displayed by the actor who plays the professor. Many times it made me move my head in the middle of watching the movie, thinking of the old man at home. In fact, these descriptions of the behavior and psychological characteristics of the elderly are still stereotyped, but it has to be said that the actor's own skills are in place, and his age and mentality are also at the corresponding stage of life. The performance is light and not rigid.
Wolverine is relatively less in depth in my opinion, although the whole film focuses more on the psychological changes of this character. Hugh Jackman has not been completely comfortable with expressing his feelings for his professor and his daughter. In particular, the attitude towards the daughter does not make a reasonable gradual change, but instead jumps from being overwhelmed with responsibility to abruptly at the climax of the ending to a devotional sacrifice. On the one hand, this sense of disconnection is because the plot arrangement does not give much space to build a deeper connection between the two, and on the other hand, the character of Wolverine carries emotions based on different identities (son, father, twilight hero) It is more diverse, and Hugh Jackman's performance is not very well sorted out for the audience. The emotional expression for the professor is relatively straightforward, as the two of them have reached a steady state in the previous series, as there is no need for a growth transition. Therefore, the communication of a specific plot can allow the audience to experience a clear emotion or state of mind, and be able to identify with its intrinsic motivation. For example, the sudden choking at the cemetery and the subsequent silent violent smashing of the car all visualize the powerlessness of a rough and tough guy who is not good at expressing in the face of the departure of a loved one.
What Wolverine expresses most clearly in this film is the tiredness of immortality and the helplessness of slow aging, but it is a bit exaggerated to be defined by many film critics as a midlife crisis. Wolverine's mentality cannot be completely said to be a middle-aged person. For example, when he learned that he has a daughter, his unbelievable, clumsy and rude communication with the child is more similar to the state of a young father. To the car thief's provocation, he couldn't help but respond vigorously in the end, and he stood up for the master when he was staying in a black family, which means that his strength may have been reduced, but his mentality has not fallen enough to keep him depressed. Degree. It's not so much a midlife crisis as a sense of heroic twilight compared to the fighting power of young mutants. This feeling of twilight is inherently contradictory. On the one hand, he has a sympathy for the powerful destructive power that he possessed at his peak in the past, and on the other hand, he is struggling because he is now weakened and unable to save important relatives and friends in time. This is a highlight of this film in the portrayal of characters, but it is also a pity that because of the length and the positioning of the subject, there is no such thing as a great book.
I'm not old enough to just leave the film with a hero who has only written a little about it. I think about all kinds of downhill encounters in life, so I have no tears, and I am very touched.
