Embrace your future self

I believe that most viewers can guess the ending after reading the beginning. If Professor Wolverine X and Magneto all die, how can they make a sequel in the future? So, I watched with peace of mind how these mutants escaped.

Although Fan Ye only has one line, time`s up, and although there are only various fight scenes in the movie, the makeup is still amazing. Fan Ye is acting very seriously and hard. Although the role is not big, he always has to come step by step. He can't be in a hurry, nor can he ignore Fan Ye's efforts over the years.

In fact, what moved me the most was the conversation between the young Professor X and the old Professor X by interpreting Wolverine's thoughts.

I have read some related articles before, saying that when people are most helpless, they can imagine asking their future self for help. Ask your future self to give your present self some pointers. I thought it was silly when I first read it. Although that time was the first chaotic period in my life (that's why I saw so many mysterious and mysterious things), I was always skeptical about this theory. Until later, on the night of anxiety and insomnia, I had to wrap my arms around myself, pat myself, and say that everything will be fine, and imagine a stronger, calmer and more secure self. All of this plays an important role in relieving the anxiety of the moment. To this day, this theory still sounds ridiculous, but it can bring people some psychological security. If everyone can embrace their future self and tell themselves we`re not lost forever when everyone is broken and fragile, can they be more determined to tide over the difficulties?

The second thing that particularly touched me in the movie was when the old Professor X said, we stumbled, we lost our way, but that doesn't mean we're lost forever. This sentence touched me deeply. If you want to make a career and go further in life, one of the subjects you must learn is to reconcile with yourself. Everyone has a past that they don't want to face. If you are immersed in self-blame and guilt for the regrets of the past, you can only stop forever. We all make mistakes, and so will the cheating Professor X. He also gave up his superpowers to be able to walk on his legs. He drinks and relies on drugs all day long, living a chaotic life, but if he is only immersed in self-blame , the movie will not have a sequel. Although we are watching how Wolverine tries to challenge people, we are actually watching Professor X's self-redemption. Reconciling with ourselves, accepting our own mistakes and imperfections, and accepting that we are such an imperfect but unique existence is a subject we all need to practice.

I can't help but mention that Kuaiyin's cool time-stretching scene, in the splashy kitchen, Kuaiyin with a headset, redirected the bullets fired, twisted the security guards together, elegant and naughty to rescue the young Professor X and the young Magneto. The special function of Quicksilver is to be fast, and the film will slow down what happens in tenths of a second, so that the audience can see how it is done, which reminds me of the old proposition that time is relative. In the eyes of Wolverine and others, only a few tenths of a second are enough for Kuaiyin to be funny and naughty. Perhaps Quicksilver is strange because his sense of time is longer than others, so he can complete impossible tasks at a speed that others cannot see with the naked eye.

Some of them don't make sense, and some are off topic, but it's a pleasure to meet this movie. The only thing I'm not happy about is that I forgot to look at the easter eggs again, and I fell!
