X-Men-Wolverine

Just recently I went and saw the new X-men movie, Wolverine. Action was good, plot was okay, it was funny, it was tragic, and it had a crummy worldview...so it was your typical movie.

I watch a movie and enjoy it, but then I go home and that's when I analyze everything about the movie. One thing that really bothered me in this movie was its lack of any sort of grace or atonement. During the movie I watched as Logan (the dude with the claws) had bad thing after bad thing happen to him again and again. He was always the victim.

When his brother gets them in trouble with the army he is put in the firing squad with his brother, not an ideal situation. He is living a peaceful life later in the mountains with his wife and he is a lumberjack. All is good...but then his brother shows up and kills his wife. Logan is thirsty for revenge. He is constantly doing everything from then on out for revenge and thirst for blood.

At the end of the movie he is confused and lost. He wonders off through the rubbles of the installation that he just ripped to pieces. There is no atonement for him...no one to help him with the problems that have been thrown at him. He, "embraced his other side," and truly was an animal. It is really sad at how lost he was in his own attempts to take care of everything his own way.

This seems to reflect people nowadays...they're always trying to do things their own way, while at the same time denying that God exists. That movie was really missing something because it didn't have any grace or any sort of authority besides man himself.

Any thoughts about the movie?
