I haven't watched Marvel's superhero series before, but after this one, I have a systematic understanding of this superhero world. Fortunately, I watched the X-Men. Compared with the previous positioning of American blockbusters, Nolan was the first to change my impression. This film is considered a successor.
First of all, the plot has a lot to discuss. I have always liked the theme of time travel, but the requirements are relatively high. When a friend recommended it to watch it, I went there for the purpose of finding faults. There is no obvious bug in this part of the crossing.
There are roughly two types of settings for the time-travel class, one is fatalism that cannot change the past, typically "12 Monkeys", and the other is that the future changes with the changes of the past. It is also mentioned in the film that, from the point of view of quantum theory, when the change of events is large enough to change the flow of history, our plot is based on the continuation of this assumption.
First of all, the ability to go back to the past comes from Phantom Cat. It seems that this setting does not appear in previous episodes, but serves the needs of this movie. We also accept it. This time-travel is different from the one in "Doraemon". A time machine, a time machine can appear in one time and space for two people at different points in time. This is the time travel of consciousness. Wolverine’s return is covered in his own body at that time. I call the former B consciousness and the future A consciousness. , After A's consciousness is covered, B's consciousness is suppressed. Then, Wolverine walks in the past as a future person. Trying to use this setting to explain the ending, Wolverine is surprised to see that all his former friends are alive. , because the current time corresponds to the time when Wolverine returned after completing his mission, that is, A consciousness returned from the past without the help of the phantom cat, but history has changed, we can imagine that Wolverine is being beaten After entering the water, A's consciousness should return. At this time, B's consciousness finally came out after being suppressed for a long time. However, B's consciousness has no memory of when it was suppressed by A's consciousness. It was not a personal experience, and then the B consciousness finally got into the future. At this time, the A consciousness was covered again. Surprisingly, Wolverine had asked the professor to help him find everyone before, so in this future, a beautiful realization has been achieved. He talked with the professor, and the professor found his tone. The professor has experienced them changing history together. He said welcome back It is the return of B consciousness.
The change of history happened when the mysterious woman stepped forward and finally put down the pistol facing the president. The president's change of mind led to the miscarriage of the Sentinel plan.
The handling of the details is quite brilliant. The little professor and the old professor handled the meeting well. The paragraph of Kuaiyin was very liked. There are a few Easter eggs that are hard to find for non-iron fans, but it is still very interesting to think about it.
The conscience of a commercial film is reflected in its excellent production and innovation. This film can be said to have heated up the conflict between mutants and humans. This thinking is different from many commercial films.
To put it simply, the climax of the story is the parallel interpretation of the past and the future, but the ending seems to be hasty. The mysterious woman's heart was very determined before the assassination, or the transition in between is unnatural, and the change of the president is also lacking. Foreshadowing, too idealistic.
Fan Ye ran a good trick in this play. In fact, when you compare the ways of death of several mutants, Fan Ye first took three swords, then gave a close-up of the front, and finally died. . . Others just died casually, taking care of the Chinese audience quite a bit.
