Let's talk about the easter eggs first. An old man in the ward looked seriously injured with an oxygen tube inserted. The female doctor entered the ward and greeted the old man (the female doctor didn't look at the old man carefully at first), and then the old man said: 'Hello, Moira!' The doctor froze for a moment before saying 'Charles' in disbelief. If I didn't get it wrong, the message of the easter egg should be that Charles is still alive and will meet Moira again in the next step! Is this a foreshadowing for "First Battle"?
The main content of this film is: to follow the development of "X-Men" and "X-Men 2". Obviously, the Phoenix girl who "left" in the first episode made Cyclops still unable to get out of the pain. Alone, he once again came to the industrial center of Lake Akali. But once you go, you never look back. When Wolverine and Storm came to the Akali Lake Industrial Center, all they could find were Cyclops glasses and a Phoenix who couldn't control her inner Phoenix power. After reaching a tentative consensus with humans, the U.S. government temporarily accepted mutants. Beasts serve in government offices. But at this moment, a saying that "mutants can be healed" spread. And drugs have been developed. Injected mutants will lose their mutant abilities and become exactly like ordinary people. Such remarks seem unreasonable to the X-Men. When did mutants become in need of healing? In the eyes of Magneto, this is another declaration of war by mankind. Magneto is going to fight against humans again, and the X-Men are going to protect humanity from Magneto's attack. As we all know, a war will begin.
In the last episode, Wolverine to Jean, Rogue to Wolverine, Bobby to Rogue, everyone is trying to move forward, but the other party always breaks his lifeline in the process of biting, the roulette keeps spinning, the kind of sadness begins to germinate, people and There was a layer of inexplicable throbbing deposited in the thoughts among the people. Reason and emotion are always the most unwilling and lonely perfect match on the road of love. As for other characters, there are always all kinds of karma lingering around. The combination of good and evil reverses the old-fashioned definition, and sometimes, it is difficult to distinguish the position. The scales have never been adjusted, and the confusion is permeating again and again, and there are vulgar faces on both sides, unable to predict the next step of justice and evil. But no matter what, the group can still exert the potential energy of gathering, and a group of people can pass the test, and it is always spectacular and a lot of joy. And the translation of this one is "The Last Stand", which sounds extremely tragic. The faction has been impatiently limiting the boundaries in the confrontation, and it is the general trend that they will fall to one side. The strong meaning of confrontation must be a storm before a group fight. Only later, when the formation of the two sides was listed, it was confusing. At this time, even if the evil side showed signs of a group of demons dancing wildly, the so-called righteous side was only participating in cannibalism with the same kind. Is it a wise move to turn the claws against a group that is equally hostile to himself in the absurdity of his own? Even if the other party is indeed sinful, but protecting human beings and protecting the "antidote" can only characterize themselves as great, that's all. The complexity inside is inexplicably pungent and confusing before it can be discerned. From the very beginning, some important characters were pronounced dead, and people waited for the moment when their dreams were shattered with the mentality of their resurrection. The reason why I am sad is also because of the mutation of the characters, the most familiar stranger is really a great tragedy. Characters lose their nature and kill the people around them, what a pathetic move. kill. killed. If you are conscious, but you can't stop your actions when you know it's inappropriate, the sadness will increase several times. Relying on his own to break up the people he cherishes, together with the helplessness of the former alliance against each other, shows a kind of apocalyptic decadence everywhere. The endgame has already been displayed, and the time of the day will never be returned. The more intimate it is, the more sad it is. Even the twilight of Magneto makes people feel infinitely sad, although Mystique is abandoned when it loses its function. In addition, the end of a series always makes people feel like they have nothing to fall back on. Some people say that the X-Men represent all kinds of disadvantaged people in American society or representatives of heterogeneous characters in the eyes of the American public, such as Jews, AIDS patients, hippies, homosexuals, fanatical religiousists, people of color and so on. It is difficult for these groups to integrate into American society, and the discrimination and conflicts they suffer are naturally shown in epic pictures in the "X-Men" series. If the "X-Men" series does is to combine these groups of people to present us with the big phenomenon of society. There is no doubt that the autobiography of the characters in "First Station" and "Wolverine" further analyzes the background and character of the story. I have always had reservations about this view. of this video The core contradiction lies in the emergence of the "antidote". The emergence of the "antidote" has completely changed the relationship between humans and mutants. It is not only the question of whether to bring the alternative into the mainstream, this question is actually a current social issue, and how to recognize the existence of the alternative seems to be the projection of the film's story. . Mutants are actually different from mainstream values to human beings. The theme conveyed by the film hopes to recognize the existence of alternatives, instead of trying to impose mainstream values on alternatives, so as to incorporate alternatives into mainstream. Returning to the mainstream values is an alternative choice, as if the little naughty finally chose to give up superpowers in order to be with the person he loves. In the film, when the mutants die and die, the Phoenix girl becomes the key character of the film. The strengths and weaknesses of other mutants coexist, and they grow and overcome each other. And Jane's abilities have become almost super invincible, but the biggest problem is that she can't control herself. Perfect mutants shouldn't exist, because that would definitely undercut the movie's observability, so Jane was eventually asked to leave. She ended up in the hands of her lover Wolverine, but the emotional scenes arranged in the film are really too weak to be mentioned, but for a Hollywood commercial blockbuster that does not need to be chewed carefully, this level of emotional scenes is just a series. The needs of the plot, no audience will be true to its plausibility. If you measure this film by the standard of a commercial film, in my opinion, it has passed the passing line. The film has gorgeous and outstanding special effects and visual effects, and there are also major scenes such as moving bridges and crossing the sea. Supernatural powers, the development and changes of the entire story structure, extract the thinking about the existence of mutants, although it is simple, it meets the requirements of commercial movies, so far. Although the film still has some loopholes and far-fetched points, perhaps in a story with a fairly complete structure, these do not seem to affect the audience's understanding and acceptance of the film. In the end, I don’t know if it’s the end of this series or something else. The development of the film’s story is a little rushed. The important characters in the first two episodes were killed one after another. First, the laser-eyed handsome Scott was killed, and then the leader X The professor, Variety Girl and Magneto were also deprived of their supernatural abilities, and in the end, the super invincible Phoenix Girl Zhen also inevitably fell. In addition to the gorgeous special effects and fighting scenes, there is another point, many aspects of the whole film are actually reflecting the content that echoes from the beginning to the end. And most of them are echoes generated in this episode: at the beginning of the film, people see that the young Professor X and Magneto came to the Phoenix girl's house together and invited the Phoenix girl to work together. And after the Phoenix girl was completely blackened, the place where she could settle down in her heart was naturally her own. the family from which he was first born. And Professor X and Magneto came here again. It's a pity that Professor X didn't have the ability to convince the Phoenix girl like when he first came to visit. Instead, the Phoenix girl ended her life here. The seemingly apocalypse at the beginning of the film is actually the daily simulation training of the X-Men at Xavier Talent School, and Wolverine's fighting style is arbitrary in Storm's view. And when he came to the last Alcatraz Island, Wolverine once again faced Magneto. It's just that this Wolverine is different from the previous Wolverine who acted alone. In cooperation with the beast, Magneto was completely defeated here. Professor X cites an example of whether an already unconscious patient can be infused with the consciousness of others in a lecture to Xavier Gifted Junior School students. Apparently, Professor X was interrupted by the dark clouds that Storm had drawn. And after the end of the credits, it is obvious that at this moment, Professor X has been decomposed into molecules by the blackened Phoenix girl. And the end-credits egg returns to the scene that Professor X gave as an example. At this moment, the patient on the bed seemed to have regained consciousness. Makes people have endless reverie. But why would the doctor be Mora? How can a CIA agent become a doctor? At the same time when we saw Magneto sitting in a garden with many elderly people, watching the chess in front of him. Still the same as before, still chess. But the difference is that there is no Professor X who is a close friend on the opposite side. At this moment, Magneto seems to make people feel the old state of the sunset. And Magneto doesn't seem to think so, because the chess piece can still be moved by Magneto in the air, although only for one second. What echoes it is the return of Professor X's consciousness. The tail egg is back to the scene that Professor X gave as an example. At this moment, the patient on the bed seemed to have regained consciousness. Makes people have endless reverie.

The shortcomings of this film are also obvious, the plot is scattered and the characters are arranged too deliberately. Professor X was torn to pieces at Phoenix Girl's house by the Phoenix Girl who couldn't control the Phoenix power in her body. However, the Phoenix Girl with such a powerful energy can be completely controlled by Magneto, like a puppet. Later, when Wolverine ended Phoenix's life, it turned out that Phoenix had such a great ability to turn Professor X into molecules, but why did it become so "slow" when "decomposing" Wolverine? And in "X-Men 2", the Night Demon who surrendered to the X-Men did not appear at all. And because of his "mutant ability", the little naughty can't get in close contact with the iceman he loves, so he naturally has to get the "mutant vaccine". And the Iceman obviously has a girlfriend, so he has to go to a private meeting with Phantom Cats late at night, and this arrangement is only to make the little naughty jealous, so he goes to get vaccinated. There are more or less "deliberately put together" ingredients. Compared to the previous episode, which focused on humans versus mutants, this episode has returned to the "original". In the end, it still became the content of mutants VS mutants. And the final boss also became Magneto once again. And Magneto once again launched his "brainwashing" and successfully gathered a very powerful mutant team.
Anyway, this movie does have a lot of problems, but there is no denying that he also does a lot of good things, at least it takes us once again into that wonderful world we look forward to fantasizing about.
