Do you think I’m crazy? Let’s go through the movie.

In X2 there was already the scene in Boston with the family of one of the mutants – ice man – (who by the way was also in the gay movie “Prom Queen”). His mother asked him: ” can you try not to be a mutant?” (I heard it many times in the families with gay kids).

But X3 completely dealt with many of the issues related to the diversity today:

1 – The crazyness of a vaccine.

2 – The hatred towards diversity for acting, loving and living differently.

3 – The effort of the humans to humanize the mutants and force them to use the vaccine as a cure (just for personal ego) under the hypocritical behavior to say that it was a mutant choice (the incapacity of the humans to deal with something different from them and many times something much better than them.

4 – The vaccine used as a weapon (if you don’t behave I don’t tolerate you – I said tolerate I didn’t say accept -).

5 – The drama of the mutants either to fight to survive or to choose to loose their spectacular diversity not to be emarginated anymore

6 – Some of them decided to loose their identity with the vaccine, to gain their lover back and not to harm them. But the lover of her choice is not a human at the end, but a mutant with the capacity to turn anything in ice.

Condidering the 140 Million dollars this movie already gained in the last 7 days, we should be happy to believe that the American population is ready for the “diversity” and love the “diversity” (Just look at the way they applauded in the theatre the actions of the X-men). The reality in practice is that if this “diversity” remains on the screen it’s fine, while people don’t accept “diversity” in the real life so easily (race, sex, religions, cultures, etc.)

I gave a B+ to the movies and an A+ to the story because if using the trick of the mutants this can generate an interest around “being different” and what does it mean to be different, I think this movie deserves still to be on the top of the list.
