Is it a curse or a godsend

"They will fear us, and fear will turn into resentment."
------ Erik Lehnsherr

walked into the movie theater to watch the movie Apocalypse this year by accident. To be honest, I don't really like sci-fi movies, maybe it's because I don't know Marvel, I don't know those characters. However, I am very fortunate that I did not miss the apocalypse, and I took a fancy to the professor in the apocalypse. Later, after watching a lot of clips and entering the EC circle, I went to supplement the X-Men series, and then watched this "X-Men: First Battle" (hereinafter referred to as "First Battle").

Different from the original story, Magneto in "First Battle" is not so extreme, and the friendship between him and the professor is also very good. They are still a group of young people full of youth, but the "X-Men" series The problems described between mutants and humans, and the confrontation between the two sides, have revealed the tip of the iceberg.

A world war is coming? Is it possible for mutants and humans to live in harmony?

"First Battle" is not only the first large-scale conflict between mutants and humans on the bright side, but also the first battle between the professor and the Magneto camp.
When watching those clips, one sentence was the most heartbreaking, "is it a curse or a godsend", mutants, are they cursed or a godsend?

[God's Retribution]
When Magneto didn't have that name, he was still Erik, the child in Auschwitz who watched his mother get killed by Shaw.

His childhood was murky and dominated by Shaw, a researched experiment. His youth was dark and twisted, he was driven and bound by hatred, he was unhappy, and he held the last remaining love deep inside.

When Professor X hadn't gotten that title, he was Charles, the kid with a stick that cautiously explored the kitchen at night.

We don't know how he was when he was young, but he was so friendly since he was a child, but it seems from the later movies that he was able to hear other people's thoughts at that time, a child who smiled so cutely, but had to suffer countless people's pain .

When Mystique hadn't grown into a decisive Mystique, she was still Raven, the little girl who could only steal at night to fill her stomach.

When the beast was still a neatly dressed genius researcher, people could not see his distinctive feet hidden in his shoes, as well as the inferiority and darkness hidden in his heart.

etc.

The movie only shows what happened to some mutants, and more mutants, what they endured, we don't know.

Erik lost a loved one, Charles suffered, Hank and Raven hid from the world, most mutants disguised themselves as normal humans, what was wrong with them?

The dialogue between Erik and Charles in the movie is the most distressing. Charles said that as long as we save them, as long as we are willing to pay, we are better people and should have greater responsibility. "They will fear us, and fear will turn into resentment," Erik said.

I am very reluctant to agree with this statement. The performance of humans in the movie seems to confirm this sentence. For humans, mutants are a threat and a heresy.
Are mutant abilities a curse?

Bear the pain, bear the responsibility, and live harder.

[Godsend]
Some people also think that mutants have powerful powers, they are lucky, they are the lucky ones chosen by God.

They are more advanced, better humans.

Charles can see through other people's minds, manipulate other people's minds, and gain other people's memories. Erik can manipulate magnetism, change metal form, and have powerful lethality. Raven can transform into anyone with fighting skills. Hank has a genius brain and is one of the smartest people in the world. there are more.

They have great power and can do things that ordinary people cannot. Control thinking to monitor others, control missiles to change positions, change appearances at will, change positions arbitrarily, absorb energy, and fly by sound waves. There are too many miracles, and among them, the biggest miracle is Professor X, Charles Xavier.

I like a quote from a friend of mine once:

"This kind of ability is like a bystander, who has seen the world's intrigue and ulterior motives and deeply sees through the mask of human beings, but he is still so kind and gentle.

Such a Charles is almost a Miracle.

It is a gift from God to mutants, especially Erik's treasure."

Charles, who is loved by everyone, becomes one of the best mutant leaders.

Charles is the greatest godsend!


And for the abilities of mutants, humans are envious or even jealous, because they are jealous, so they resent.

Reflected in reality, is it racism? Sexism? Discrimination against homosexuality?

I stand by my point of view, because of envy, because of jealousy, so hatred, so resentment.

I have always believed that those sufferings come from the evil side of human beings. But then one day, the dust settles and we don't know the end, but we can bless them.

Mutants can be either divinely condemned or divinely gifted. This is their choice, their future.

Digression:

Lao Wan is really a scumbag. If you don't talk about love, he is just a friend who died for you. You let him lie on the beach injured without thinking about sending him to the hospital? ? ? (Professor can obviously save it again)

I complain, but I still envy EC's feelings, it has nothing to do with the situation.

This is a game of chess that has been played for a lifetime. Although each is a leader, they also support each other and torture each other for a lifetime.

They can understand each other, but they cannot accept each other's point of view.

Erik is a sharp sword and Charles is a tough shield. In fact, think about it, no matter what, they still maintain their relationship for a lifetime, which is another form of happy ending.

Goodbye's translation I've always hoped to be goodbye, Goodbye, Charles. Goodbye, Eric. Goodbye, old friend.

Ah, cover your face, there are a lot of ideas about ec, but it's not suitable to say too much, that's all, thank you for watching.

    Do you know where Wolverine is? Wolverine carried steel claws around the world, exploding the chrysanthemums of those who said Professor X and Magneto are good friends after reading this movie.

    Sure enough, it was right not to go home and go to the cinema! Jiqingshan blinded my dog's eyes! What i can't leave him! What you're not alone! What male number one is injured lying in the arms of male number two! Then the male number two almost killed the woman who shot! And from fighting side by side to parting ways! It flashed so hard that I dare not look directly at the screen! The point is that I believe I don’t have tinted glasses

    Erik Lehnsherr: [Erik signals approval and while Charles reads Erik minds. We see moments of Erik's childhood with his mother] What did you just do to me?

    [Both Erik and Charles cries]

    Professor Charles Xavier: I accessed the brightest corner of your memory system. It's a very beautiful memory, Erik. Thank you.

    Erik Lehnsherr: I didn't know I still had that.

    Professor Charles Xavier: There is so much more to you than you know. Not just pain and anger. There is good, too. I felt it. When you can access all of that, you will possess a power no one can match. Not even me.

  • Professor Charles Xavier: Shaw's declared war on mankind on all of us, he has to be stopped.

    Erik Lehnsherr: I am not gonna stop Shaw, I am gonna kill him. Do you have it in you to allow that?

    [Erik pauses while Charles shifts in his chair uneasy]

    Erik Lehnsherr: You known all along why I was here Charles, but things have changed. What started as a covert of mission, tomorrow mankind will know mutants exist. Shaw, us, they won't differentiate. They'll fear us. And that fear will turn to hatred.

    Professor Charles Xavier: Listen to me very carefully, my friend: killing Shaw will not bring you peace.

    Erik Lehnsherr: Peace was never an option.
