X-men III – not a review

I like. :)

I like how the film tackles the various conflicts that humans (and mutants) can have. The conflicts, in no rank or order:

  1. internal conflict between government and itself regarding mutant policies
  2. internal conflict of a man who fathers a mutant child, and of the child who has a human as father
  3. the conflicting views of a mutant cure – is being a mutant a disease?
  4. the conflict in mutants who cannot accept who they are – they want the “cure”
  5. the conflict of who is in control – does your power control you or do you control the power?
  6. how Magneto recognises and respects Charles Xavier, even though they’re fighting each other

It does draw plenty of parallels into our own life, depicted with a big budget, Hollywood style film. Can you see the parallels in your life?

If you like what you read, you can follow me on RSS, by email, on Twitter, or on Facebook.

    As a matter of fact..yes.

    There’s always argument in the Bipolar Disorder (or manic/Depressive..whichever term you like) whether its a gift or a curse, much like being a mutie.

    I’m in the curse camp, myself. Anything I’ve done while stable far outweighs the value of anything I can think of that I’ve done while “wacky”

    Seeing X3 at a matinee this weekend. VERY excited.

    Not many good reviews on the internet though… Hope you enjoy the film!
