"Some incredibly beautiful and perfect
quote said by Professor X about
Life that makes me want to curl up
on the Floor and cry like a baby but
I can't remember exactly because
I was crying when he said it so I just
got the idea of what he was saying."
Professor X
Sooo... Yeah, I got to see X-Men Days of Future Past yesterday and the reason that I;m writing this post this morning is because last night i was far to emotionally compromised to write... Like.. Anything.. I basically came home ate ten pounds of food and went to sleep as soon as possible. After I cried on my bed for about an hour...
Short review? It was absolutely incredible! I loved it! It had everything you've come to expect in an X-Men movie. It was intense, action packed, emotional, insightful, and it had a wonderful ending and it had some pretty funny parts as well. That being said.. I was devastated after seeing it. Anyone who knows me knows that I have never handled the X-Men movies well, I've seen all of them and I own all of them but I actually only watch them like once, because they screw me up so horribly.I literally had to talk to my therapist about the last one because I couldn't get it out of my head. I love them, but they really aren't good for me, And I wanted to take a post to try to give a couple reasons why, since it's very hard to explain and there's like a billion reasons, I'll probably only do a couple. These are all basically talking about all of the X-Men movies.
One big BIG reason why the X-Men movies affect me so much is that literally they just scare me. There is no horror movie out there that could sum up my greatest fear quite like the Marvel franchise. I'm quite terrified of the message of those movies, I tend to want to just curl up on my bed with Teddy and hide my face after watching those movies. They're terrifying because they're accurate, humans are afraid of anything different and they will use violence against those things that they don't understand. No one is safe once fear takes over and that scares me, in fact on a more humorous note, when I actually had that realization I stopped being afraid of a lot, I mean, because really I can handle a spider or a snake or foot long centipede just fine. Basically, what's the point of fretting about these indiscriminate dangers in life when humans are the actual threat and they attack with hatred. Those movies are the scariest things ever and no one will be able to convince me otherwise, also the comics aren't much better.
Next reason is how they are just completely and totally the most inspirational and hardcore movies ever. When I walk away after watching the X-Men movies I am left with this heavy weight on my conscience that tells me to do better and understand more. More simply, they make me feel really bad about myself by pointing out all the ways that I could be a better and more hopeful human. Because *Sobs loudly* Professor X is just such an amazing human being and everyone in that movie is so frickin inspirational and perfect!! (Except Scott -____- ). I feel a great responsibility to do better and be better after watching those movies and that's a very tough thing to accept all at once, not only that but it's incredibly stressful. Even thinking about some of those scenes with the young Professor X I'm getting flustered and stressed because *Sobs louder* He had no idea of the person he was going to become and the people whose lives he saved and improved because he made a choice to love and hope rather than hate and become bitter. Aaaaaahhhhhh!!!!! My Feels!!!!
But, also, seriously you had to watch people you love and care about get ripped into pieces and stabbed to death and thrown around like they didn't mean anything. Also understand that you had to see young mutants that you knew tortured dead on slabs. You had to see Tempest's wings displayed after they killed her behind glass like a bug next to Magneto's helmet. I. CAN'T. HANDLE. THAT. You can't possibly expect me to be okay with those images, I'm just saying and I know they fixed everything but NOT THE POINT. Also! the end didn't fix the fact that the bad guy took mutants and tortured and killed them! Young Mutants! I'm talking young adults and teenagers!
Okay, anyway, last thing. If I had to take something away from that movie I would say.. Mystique MYSTIQUE, M Y S T I Q U E, MySTiqUE, My poor baby Mystique! Sweet sweet and murderous Raven Darkholme, I love her so much and I just want to hold her and tell her that everything's going to be alright and stab anyone who looks at her wrong. I love Mystique and she's perfect, seriously before if I met somebody badmouthing Mystique I would probably argue with them but after that movie violence will ensue if you talk badly about baby mystique. *Whispers Fondly* She's just so deadly and beautiful and hurt.
Whoo! Anyway all that ranting actually made me feel better about my shattered heart after that movie. It was awesome and I recommend everyone see it :)
