Unlike the two leaders, Captain America, the hero of World War II, and the rich and handsome Iron Man, whose heart is rooted in Hongmiao and the government, the X-Men, whether it is Professor X, Magneto, the two leaders with different political views, or the magic shape. Female, Wolverine, Cyclops, Qin, Kuaiyin and other mutants with different personalities and positions are first of all a group of social outcasts. Kuaiyin, an otaku who has been living in a single mother's house for a long time in "Apocalypse", bluntly said "I am a loser" . Their battle, first and foremost, is to have their own place in the world, which resonates with many people, especially people with non-mainstream sexual orientations, "I am a variation, I am proud", and the slogan of "Gay Pride" coincidentally. If you don't have problems with your self-existence, it's hard to empathize with the situation and struggle of mutants. "X-Men" is not for narcissists. The core of "Apocalypse" is still how to get along with ordinary human beings and how to get along with self. To strive for the right to live, or to directly take revenge on society? To suppress your talent, or to unleash it? Although the upper part of "Reversing the Future" allows mutants to escape the fate of being completely wiped out by the government that protects the interests of ordinary people, and Mystique is also regarded as a spiritual idol and written into history textbooks, ordinary people still fear the manifestation or potential of mutants. Or consume their power in underground venues. Magneto, who has been incognito for many years but was forced to kill his wife and daughter, would be outrageous if he had the noble king's tolerance for hatred like the Black Panther in "Captain America: Civil War". The appearance of the big villain Apocalypse just gave him a chance to take revenge on the society. Apocalypse understands the dark side of people, bribes the desires of different people like the devil, and knows to take Magneto to recall Auschwitz, the hopeless column of shame -- don't forget that the Jews are also a magical race. But Apocalypse's worldview is still BC. For example, he wants to return the human beings in the 1980s to the pre-electrification era, and expects them to maintain the values of loyalty to the emperor. The reason why he can destroy the world and the reason why he is destroyed is the same: no heart, no empathy. The pace of the story is slow but not boring. While we worry about "Apocalypse is so strong, how can it be broken?" While experiencing the growth of each mutant in the event. Compared with the heroes of the Marvel universe, the characters are fixed and the growth rate is not large. Quicksilver didn't recognize his father, so Magneto's return seems to be more in line with X-Men's values: in a lonely world, true friends are your family, don't betray those who support each other with you, this is the bottom line. The pattern in ordinary people's minds is intriguing. For example, Cyclops's classmates suspect that he is going to rob his girlfriend, and the government, which is incompetent in front of Apocalypse, praises Magneto for his participation in destroying Apocalypse. The original soundtrack creates a sense of doomsday, while Beethoven's Seventh Symphony sets off the solemn atmosphere, and with the Quicksilver saving passage of "Sweat Dreams", it is the most humorous moment in the film.
