I just came back from watching a movie that could most probably be my favorite movie of the year. It has a good story line, a very charming lead character that had temporarily stolen my heart and harsh reality that left one to ponder upon. Although I already knew magneto had joined the dark side, but at that scene when he was about to reach a point of no return when he killed the guy who was partly responsible of turning him into the villain he is, I couldn’t help but hope against hope that he will not cross the path of no return.
As much as I would like to be all optimistic, I had always believed that each person when pushed past their limits, might succumb to the pressure and take a path of no return. Once they had crossed the boundary, there will be no turning back and even if they manage to by chance of a miracle, things will never be the same anymore. Most times, a person is the way they are due to the environments and circumstances.
I guess this is why I am so taken by professor x. the most attractive quality in him is the ability to see the good in all people, even in people who doesn’t believe in us and the nurturing quality in him. After watching the movie, I am all inspired to pursue a teaching career. I should probably give a shot at joining the L&D department although the chances are minute.
Today, we stayed to watch all the credits. I had always loved to watch the credits and I usually do when I watch movies at home. I had never met anyone who shares my peculiar interest. But these days, there seem to be a good reason to make my friends stayed and watch the credits with me. The teasers at the very end. =)
The few great aspects of watching movies are:
1) we all will interpret some minor storylines or the ending differently
2) then we can have a debate till the cow comes home
3) then realised that we enjoyed the debating aspect more than the actual need to know the ‘truth’.
If the aforementioned aspects are true, then let me just point out that, in my opinion, (spoiler alert) Magneto did not cross the path of no return when he lodge the coin into Sebastian Shaw’s brain (with the help of Xavier who frozed shaw). I think he already crossed the path when Dr Schmidt shot his mum. No?
Anyway, Magneto isn’t really considered as the villian, even among comic fans. Let’s just say that he has strong survival instinct and accept some collateral damage
But let’s not enter a morality debate about it.
In a non-related issue, my favourite person to play Professor X would be Ben Kingsley. Somehow he just looks like Professor X. But this scot who plays the young Charles is also very good
