Awesome "X-Men: Days of Future Past"

I haven't seen all 7 "X MEN", but this does not affect the pleasure of watching this movie at all. As a B-level film with an investment of more than 100 million yuan, the perfect performance of special effects is beyond reproach, and there is no doubt about the gathering of big-name stars, but "Future Reversal" is different in that it is different from the pure commercial shooting mode of the previous six films. The cool image display of the superpowers of the "mutants" has become one of the film's narrative methods, rather than all replacing the film's grand deconstruction of the themes of life and death, emotion, and humanity.



I think it's the most powerful one in the League of Legends series. It doesn't talk about rhythm, doesn't talk about scene scheduling, and although director Bryan Singer is not as "highly powerful" as Christopher Nolan, it can really be in this film. Seeing a bit of the narrative feel of The Dark Knight Batman, especially in the retro scene design. And Cameron has also helped a lot. The popular concept of "time travel" should become another focus of Chinese fans since "Hypnosis Master".



In addition to the shocking impact brought by the elegant scene to the movie, the screenwriter has made great efforts to set the character's character, and strives for truth, precision and accuracy.



Two time-space narrative lines that blend and parallel, the young version of Professor X and Magneto's grievances, the past and present of Wolverine and Stryker, Mystique's fragility and changeable, connected in the original work, as Magneto's biological son The Quicksilver of 2008 has become the most perfect soy sauce. Up to now, the dazzling section of rescuing the biological father is still unforgettable and can be called the most unmissable scene in the whole film.



Here, although I didn't mention Fan Bingbing, but in fact, I really want to complain about this role, because the role of "Blink" in the descendants of mutants, (sub-time-space transformation) ability is super strong, I don't know if it is because we are Fan Yechang The face is too Asian, so it is not as easy as MAGGIE Q. The role is really weakened too much. Of course, Wolverine inexplicably also suffered the same treatment.



In addition to telling a story of "mutants" that has nothing to do with itself, the film actually alludes to the political background of the entire United States, the political background in the world pattern, and some kind of anxiety and anxiety in the changing times. Those in power are described as cunning and sly, the military is synonymous with stupidity and ruthlessness, mutants are virtually the weakest among the weak, and technology has become a "stranger flower" that leads mankind to destruction.



"Racial coexistence, life and death line" is a great irony to promote the eternal American spirit. What is loyalty, what is freedom, what is faith, what is mutual assistance, the old beauty with the face of the "world police" is described as cowardly, selfish, and without bottom line in the language of the director's push and pull.



Since the day of human birth, human beings have tried to change the so-called "destiny" and change the direction of the future. In fact, the most difficult thing to change is often a memory, a choice, a path, a way, just like in the film, Magneto and The game of chess played by Professor X is intertwined with black and white, and the winner or loser is to be determined. Everything has no end, only a starting point.
