LJ - Obi-Wan has a sort of desperate, pathetic patience in this movie. You can just see it in his eyes: "My padawan is a psychopath, and no one will believe me; I'm barely keeping him under control and expect to wake up any night now to find him standing over my bed with a knife!"

Thank you for this
From: (Anonymous) Date: 2011-06-21 10:01 am (UTC)On the second viewing, I saw this, all of this. And the ending, WTF, the ENDING. As much as I love all of the scenes on the beach (Erik putting on the helmet and crying, the way Charles took the pain of the coin so his friend could get revenge, the tears when they both realize they want different things), the ending is wrong. Like you said, Erik did a shit-ton of stuff on that beach that deserves a serious talking to about but it didn't feel like enough to end a friendship that had been going swimmingly an hour before. I mean, Charles HESITATES to physically stop him from sending the missiles for a good while before he tackles him. I feel like had Charles managed to get the helmet off and stop Erik, they would have gone home and been super pissed at each other but could have eventually worked it out. And even if things had gone exactly the same way and Charles had still refused him, I refuse to believe that Erik was so burned by this that he just up and left his friend. Raven is even more of a slap in the face, she's been annoyed with Charles for a while over this one thing but not enough to leave him when he's been badly injured. It's just messy.
So I leave this film after a second viewing with strange mixed thoughts. I suddenly want them to rewrite that ending, save the breakup for the sequel. Wouldn't it have been cool to see Charles and Erik kicking ass for a while before they end it? Or even if Raven stays by Charles till the 2nd or 3rd movie and we get to see more of her conflicted feelings. Something, just anything. I loved the bromance angle of this movie and I thought McAvoy and especially Fassbender were brilliant, but the ending breaks my heart in a way that has little to do with the cradled goodbyes.
I hope that there's a sequel that will patch things up a little bit. And also adjusts Magneto's costume because seriously, WTF.
