The last point makes the prequel surpass the main pass. The human side in the X-Men series has always been superficial, usually appearing as enemies, and usually very ugly or incompetent, with a vague appearance. However, the prequel and the main story are clearly different in that there is no high-ranking official who specifically wants to suppress mutants—but both the United States and the Soviet Union agree that mutants are a crisis and a public hazard to all mankind, reflecting the general human to mutants. The idea is better than the real story.
The prequel using the Cold War stalk is an excellent decision. The X-Men’s previous stage was in the United States, and the humans were all Americans. In addition to the US and the Soviet Union, the prequel also involved Germans. This is not just a question of whether the country is international or not, but when we look closely at these people, we will find that they are all very similar, and there is no big difference. Both the United States and the Soviet Union have people who want to go to war and those who don't want to go to war, both have people who are used by mutants, and both have people who use mutants. They hesitate to fight each other, but when their enemies become mutants, they don't hesitate-ordinary people's fate is fate, mutants are not.
The scene on the beach was stunts or mediocre, but it was very deep. When hundreds of missiles were about to be fired at the US-Soviet ship, both the US and the Soviet side on the ship were not ugly panicked. The chiefs of the two sides even said to their subordinates in English and Russian, "It is a great honor to die with you." /"Thank you for your sacrifice for your country". The prequel of this scene alone is far more than the true story.
Yes, they think they are fighting for justice, fighting for the country, and sacrificing for mankind, and in fact they can say that. What a magnificent and glorious scene in a general war movie, but here it is extremely ironic-who is the decent and the villain, what is justice and what is evil?
Remember the "blood and glory" on the German knife at the beginning? How similar.
Blood, glory, justice.
