X-Men 3 - a metaphorical final chapter

Ward 2022-04-22 07:01:02

As the last film in the "X-Men" series, I always feel that this one is full of metaphors.

Finally, a drug that makes the mutant genes of "mutants" permanently ineffective has been developed. The developer's own son is a mutant with angel-like white wings. When he went against his father's wishes, he refused to be accepted in the laboratory At the moment when I injected the drug and broke free from the bondage, a real angel appeared in front of me. Facing those pure white wings, any thought of hurting or changing him became despicable and filthy. Is it necessary to pull out the angel's wings? ?

The appearance of a mutant image with such a strong symbolic meaning in the last part (since he has not many roles) seems to be expressing these peculiar and kind mutants, perhaps the angels in the human world.

At least the person who developed the drug should be very glad that he did not change his son's mutant gene, otherwise when he was pushed down from the tall building in the end, who would fly to save him?

That young man with the special ability to make all mutant genes ineffective has quite the meaning of "mutual generation and mutual restraint", in the foreigner's point of view, "there will always be a trap", God created various mutant abilities, and also created A mutant who disables all abilities, although he doesn't appear to have control over them himself.

This is still an episode of updating and breaking the old, all the most powerful characters in the first two episodes are gone, the professor is dead, and Magneto and the "Mystique" who can change everything have lost their abilities. On the contrary, in the first two episodes, the average female doctor "Jin" became the strongest goddess of destruction.

"Scott", who had been wearing sunglasses to look cool in the first two episodes, finally took off his sunglasses in the third episode. Alas, it's really like seeing each other, so it's better to wear sunglasses, and he's dead and back home.

The settings of various mutant abilities in the third episode are still fascinating, especially the close cooperation between people with different abilities is seamless, which is still my favorite part.
