The symbolism in Xmen 3
 

I saw this movie today for the first time. And, I must say it was entertaining. I couldn't help but draw parallels between the premise of this movie and the issue of homosexuality in society. There were many congruent issues between the two, including the notion of being able to "cure" that which is seen as abnormal. Anyway, I liked how the movie played out and found it interesting how Magneto began to sound like Osama Bin Laden in his rhetoric.


Def. a good movie

My friends and I came up with a theory comparing the X-Men story to the Civil Rights movement, with Xavier as MLK and Magneto as Malcolm X.

But X3 sucked.

Well..the only reason I'd say it compares more to the issue of homosexuality, is because the word "cure" has been used in that context more so than with the issue of race. It fits both though.

But, I can def. see where you're coming from with the X, Luther parallels.
This movie didn't suck in my opinion. It had all the elements for an enjoyable flick.

Nah, it relates to many subjects. It isn't homosexuality in general but you are right when you say that there are a lot of similarities. It is just basically symbolising the struggle for acceptance in a society that is mostly single-minded. Anyone who is perceived as "different" finds it hard to fit in, whether it be homosexual or the struggle that many african americans still have to fit into what a lot of faggots like to call a "white man's world". It could also apply to refugees, migrating to a new country and finding it hard to fit in with society and get a decent job or something.

Yea...it applies to alot of issues.

It also symbolises the fact that this single minded society can't bring itself to live united with people who have super powers.

stan lee admitted he made it for civil rights because mlk was xavier and magneto was malcom x also there was an injection you could take that could make you white

i saw it on the history of comic books on the history channel a feww years back when i had cable

Yea...sure...It also applies to any culture/minority group that faces persecution for who/what they are.

But, one thing that really makes it fit well with the issue of sexuality is the issue of a "cure". There are programs out there now aimed at "curing" homosexuals so they can be "normal". Sounds about the same to me.



PS.
Stop being a bigot dude.

there was also a so called cure(injection) for black people that can turn you white so it applies more to blacks than any other

and your so quick to judge people who have differnt views than you fucken prick

wtf, an injection that can turn you white, wow....

I'm not judgin u...But, u come in here tryna dismiss the relevance of gay issues...

so yea...fuck u



And I happen to disagree...I think it applies more to the issue of sexuality because of the alienation of the mutants...i.e., people who aren't "normal"...

In today's society, black people are at least considered HUMANS!

But, yea, I can see Xmen being representative of many issues.

micheal jackson took it

gay people are considered humans aswell and im telling you that the way the creator made it im not making this up stan lee created the X-men this is not what i think it it is fact ask stan lee.
