X-men


The instructor picked this movie because he said at the beginning of the class that he was a big fan of comic books at least that’s why I think he did it. It was kind of good to analyze something that I have seen before, and I was familiar with because I am a fan of comics too. Listening to the different points of views of the different students was really good especially from the older students that were not familiar with the movie or the comics.
The X-men is based off of the comic book, the time is the near future. There is a rift between normal humans and mutants. These mutants have gifts; these gifts can give them supernatural powers. Professor Charles Xavier has established a school where mutants can feel accepted and can learn to control their gifts. One day, a young girl calling herself "Rogue" runs away from home when she discovers her mutant gift. Then, she met a loner named Logan, and then they were attacked by a group of mutants and were discovered by some of Professor X's students. They found out that the mutants that attacked them were a part of another mutant organization lead by "Magneto". Magneto believes that this dispute between humans and mutants will escalate into an all out war. He has also built devices that will unnaturally make humans turn into mutants.
The good mutants at the end won the battle, proving that both species can coexist in peace, but Magneto was not defeated totally, in fact war is no over yet by the end of the movie you know that a sequel is coming out. It was a good material to analyze because it won’t make the students feel bored at class because is something that most of us know about it.

Nice French movie poster.

You know the two sequels came out years ago and a Wolverine prequel is out next summer?
