Mutants are like various groups that have always been discriminated against by humans: women, blacks, orientations, etc., but these groups are all vulnerable, they have almost no choice and no resistance, they can only choose to fight for and integrate into society, while mutants People are different. The creators have given them powerful powers to fight for their rights and to be different. They even appear in front of humans with a new species, a species higher than humans. Humans feel unprecedented panic. We have always regarded ourselves as creators and owners of the world, but when we face a group that we are almost powerless to resist, we can truly feel our usual ignorance and arrogance from the perspective of the weak. And mutants have always existed, but the number is small. In the past, they always appeared in the records in the form of gods. However, after the nuclear explosion, the number of mutants increased sharply, forcing human beings to face this group powerful enough to destroy civilization. Also ironic.
We destroy the world with the slogan of protection, but in the end we will only be destroyed by ourselves. We pride ourselves on being strong, but we are actually fragile as dust.
Returning to the mutants, although they are a new evolutionary existence, they also evolved from human beings and grew up in human society. Their choices can also be regarded as a microcosm of human history and politics. In the film, Professor X is a moderate. He came from a wealthy family and graduated from Oxford University and obtained the title of professor. He is the crystallization of human beings for thousands of years and represents the spiritual progress of human beings. What he chooses is to live together and fight for his own interests. Knowing yourself and integrating into society is accepted by people, just like what the discriminated groups do today, and Magneto is obviously a radical who grew up in the Nazi concentration camp as a murder weapon. In my eyes, he is more like the most essential cruelty of human beings. Humanity itself is just a species on the earth. There is no so-called order, rules and discrimination in this world. These are the rights and control that human beings give themselves when they continue to strengthen and exterminate other people. The destruction of a cultural society is caused by another culture. Society occupies and replaces.
The X-Men has always been a very in-depth work, but unfortunately many of the works are just boring dramas that are purely commercial battles between good and evil. "First Station" obviously has made a good demonstration, in addition to digging the comics itself. The clash of civilizations As well as the weakness of human nature, the plot rhythm, mirroring, and character depiction are quite remarkable. It is also a work not to be missed without the coat of superheroes.
