Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow, Wolverine 3

"It's right or wrong, you have to bear the burden of your life."


When I first heard the news of "Wolverine 3", I didn't show much interest. It mainly focuses on R-rated apocalyptic films. At first glance, it lacks the various elements in the previous "X-Men". various superpowers. Another story about the escape of a degenerate old wolf with Alzheimer's professor X and a little loli. Wolverine no longer kills the Quartet, and no one likes to read a story of a dead end.

In addition to the acrobatic routine clearance of "Wolverine 1" before, and the procrastination of "Wolverine 2", even if you count the emotional bonus of Hugh Jackman's 17-year Wolverine curtain call, this "Wolverine 3" How likely is it to turn over?


However, after watching the official trailer, my thoughts changed completely, and the result of the weakening of the old wolf's role is the wild bloom of X23. The young actor is able to move and still, carrying a schoolbag on his back to slay the enemy and go off the horse. In contrast, the old wolf is more like a helpless father in the play.

After watching the 137-minute (uncut) "Wolverine 3", to be honest, the last time I was touched by a superhero movie was the previous "TDKR". I don't know what happened to director James Mangold in the four years after "Wolverine 2". The same director, the same starring, lost his dazzling armor and strong muscles, leaving all scars and destined redemption. .

The super self-healing ability not only brings endless life but also endless killing and cruelty, and nightmares also come along with the degradation of the ability. In the film, not only Wolverine bears the killing and punishment of the past, but Professor X with his uncontrolled WMD brain has become a time bomb more terrifying than anger. In the film, the nightmare of the old wolf and X23 appears at the same time and is related to each other, which not only implies the inheritance of blood, but also the inheritance of steel claws and names.

Whether in comics, movies, or in reality, it is always a false proposition that Wolverine is surpassed by X23. Director James Mangold achieved self-transcendence in "Wolverine 3". The first five minutes of amputation and sensitive words appeared one after another. The positioning of the R-rated film not only makes the audience feel pain when watching the film, but also tells from the side. How did the old wolf get to where it is today.

"Wolverine 3" contains burden, inheritance and transcendence, just like the abbreviation of Wolverine's fate, short-term warmth and joy, long-term pain and redemption. Fortunately, no matter what X23 said or not, her eyes were still clear when her anger subsided. Even if "anger cannot be cultivated, it can only be set at the beginning", X23 will greet tomorrow with clear eyes, and her nightmare has been dispelled by the old wolf.

As said in the film, "People must be true to themselves, never retreat, right or wrong, they all have to bear the burden of their lives."


"Star Trek Beyond" released last year was translated into "Star Trek 3: Beyond the Stars". The audience may understand that it is not the stars that are "transcended" in the film. When this "Logan" was released in the mainland, it was not only translated into "Wolverine 3: Deadly Fight", but also cut for 14 minutes.

The translation level as always is reminiscent of the superfluousness of "Blood Battle Hacksaw Ridge".
