long goodbye

Tremayne 2022-04-23 07:01:14

Recalling the Berlin premiere of Wolverine 3 in a recent interview, Stewart said: "I was deeply moved by Wolverine 3. Hugh Jackman and I both had tears in our eyes at the end of the screening. The subtitles are rolling. As I sat in my chair and thought deeply, I realized that there couldn't be a better, more perfect, more emotional, more beautiful way to say goodbye to Charles Xavier. Then, that night, I was right Hugh said, "I don't do it anymore, it's all over. "

Long before the start of filming, Uncle Wolf said that this was the last time he played Wolverine, and he had also expressed many times before that he would consider not playing Wolverine again. The long, fervent hope passed before I knew it.

To be honest, when I didn't watch Wolverine at first, I didn't like the character of Wolverine very much. When I saw someone else watching it, I was crazy and angry like a beast, and then destroyed everything. I hated this kind of brainless commercial movie. It wasn't until I watched the X-Men series that I knew that Wolverine turned out to be a protagonist in the X-Men movie series. After watching a series of X-Men and Wolverine movies, I found that Wolverine is not so superficial. Hugh Jackman's portrayal of this character is also very layered. Wolverine's pain and madness, his performance is flesh and blood, and it is very important to the audience. In other words, Hugh Jackman is Wolverine, and he has played this role for 17 years. Even if he is full of emotion for this role, on the one hand, he is getting older and older, and on the other hand, he cannot play such a simple and rude role all the time. Just like there is no lasting feast in the world, it is finally time to say goodbye.

In the movie, Charles, played by Stewart, will be in his 90s in 2029, while Stewart was born in 1940 and will be 90 years old in 2029. Heroes also grow old one day. Charles, the strongest brain, suffered from Alzheimer's disease in his later years. He couldn't control his ability, and often hurt innocent people. Therefore, he could only hide in a deserted place, without seeing the sun, and fell asleep after taking the medicine. Only when he was awake, the light of wisdom shone in his eyes. On the night at the farmer's house, he recalled the past of hurting others because of his old age and uncontrollable power, and cried, "It's been the best night I've had in so long, but I don't deserve this kind of life." At this time, he was killed by the man-made "Wolverine", and in the end he was not able to get on the ship to spend his old age in peace.

At the same time, the indestructible Wolverine was also defeated by time, its self-healing ability was diminishing day by day, and the wounds on his body began to heal for a long time. When he wanted to stay away from the world, he was involved in a new incident. What he didn't expect was that this time it was about his daughter. With all his might to protect his daughter and the other surviving mutants, he eventually gave his life due to his degraded abilities.

"Death turns out to be this feeling," Wolverine said with emotion.

Just like the movie, there are also old heroes compared to heaven's envy of talents and confidantes. And the old heroes will be forgotten after all, and the moment when they can turn the tide is out of reach. Yesterday, even the founder of the X-Men, Charles died quietly.

That's why Stewart says it's over.

It's all over, this is the perfect goodbye.
