    Logan is one of the most unique superhero movies to come out in the past decade. That’s largely because it’s not a superhero movie at all, it’s a Western. What makes Logan a masterpiece is how it takes some of the defining themes of the western genre - searching, enclosure, and the end of an era - and updates it to not only reflect the final moments of one of the most beloved comic book characters of all time, but to make a rather sly statement on the current state of the film industry. Welcome to this Wisecrack Edition on The Philosophy of Logan.

      Well Mangold admitted in Making Of Logan that it's more based on X-23: Innocence Lost than Old Man Logan, although Old Man Logan elements were borrowed. Yes, Unforgiven is definitely one of them and it fits Logan's character perfectly.

    I can't even think about that ending without tearing up a little. I went and saw Logan three times in the theater and every time you could hear people sobbing when Laura goes back to turn the cross. That is one of the most powerful moments I've ever seen in a movie.

    holy crap, I've just noticed the parallel between Shane and Fallout. Seriously, hear me out: at the end of Fallout 1, the player character has saved the Vault, but has become something else, something wild, so its forced to leave forever. In Fallout 2, you're the descendant of this character, born in a tribe on the wild and you show up to the different cities as an outsider, helping them, but eventually leaving.

      The more complicated the plot, the more it relies upon convenient circumstances and unrealistic motivations for it to possibly happen.

      In the process of trying to create a "masterpiece", too many people create something that looks smart on the surface, but requires a liberal dose of suspension of disbelief.
      *cough The Dark Knight Rises
      When a complicated plot is done well though, its much more fulfilling than a simple one. Like woah.....that blew my mind. I don't really see this movies much though, but instead in tv where they have more time to do the story right.

    I'm surprised you didn't address the "disappointments" motive of this movie.
    I think it's more interesting. How this movie is intentionally disappointing us.
    We start the movie off learning that Charles Xavier, the father figure of the X-men is now treated as a little baby and is constantnly drugged just to prevent him from killing everyone.
    All the mutants are dead.
    Logan goes into a Family's home in good intention just to find out he brought death on all of them.
    Logan giving the worst requiem speech I've seen in a movie just to freak out and pass out.
    in the end it's still a Greek tragedy and all the "Real" mutants died off and the only mutants that exists are lab grown which means that mutants are now extinct.
    Charles Xavier killed all the X-men because of his dementia

      That's what I love about the X-Men movies (and Nolan's Batman series too), there's so much depth going on below the surface. Fantasy should be used for exploring the human condition, and feature analogies and allegory. That's what good fantasy does, and that's what the X-Men movies have been doing wonderfully, in addition to telling tall tales of superheroes and superpowers.

    Very good as usual. One thing, though: Logan didn't want to go live on the boat to be closer to nature, he wanted to live on the boat in the sea because it was the only place he could take Charles where there would be no innocent people around for Charles' powers to kill when he has his seizures. It's also well away from where mutants are being hunted.

      Dunno if any of you are old enough to remember this, but in the 80's I began falling in love with Marvel comics, especially X-Men and Wolverine. Then in the 90's the comic book industry began pumping out ridiculous numbers of new titles and overselling the shit out of issues just to make money. It ruined the comic industry until image started putting out fresh titles. I believe the same is going to be true for comic movies. Folks are going to just get sick of them, especially when garbage like BvS, Suicide Squad, etc keep getting pumped out. We'll lose trust and they'll move on to some other genre.

      @hafabee 7 років тому +97

      They intend them. Writers, good writers that is, understand the importance of symbolism, analogy, and allegory. They are the very soul of story telling, and most especially for fantasy story telling. Without that level of depth fantasy is pure fluff. Fantasy is best when it's used to explore the human condition from a perspective outside of the norm.

    • @myself2noone
      @myself2noone 7 років тому +13

      hafabee Just wanted to point out the irony in your statement saying good fantasy writers use analogy, and allegory. JRR Tolkien has a quote in derect opposition to those things.
      "I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations, and always have done so since I grew old and wary enough to detect its presence. I much prefer history - true or feigned- with its varied applicability to the thought and experience of readers. I think that many confuse applicability with allegory, but the one resides in the freedom of the reader, and the other in the purposed domination of the author." -Tolkien
      Considering he's "the" fantasy writer I just think that's funny.

    • @hafabee
      @hafabee 7 років тому +10

      Eddie the Head; But The Lord of the Rings is completely analogous with Catholicism, and an allegory for ending war. Tolkien was definitely conscious of this when he wrote it, The Lord of the Rings is steeped in symbolism that is as true today as it was when he wrote it.

    • @hafabee
      @hafabee 7 років тому +9

      You can enclose land because there is a limited amount, the right guarantees the benefits and costs are exclusive to the user and the value of its option-use can be included in its price.
      The interaction of concepts are infinite. Even if mankind discovers all laws of science, we can't claim how many techne applications would exist. Content on UA-cam is created so quickly, I think intellectual property and patent lawyers are in a permanent lag in a sort of arms race.

While they continue to make more money out of the formula they have been using, its hard to see that they will go out of their way and break their established mold, to make a movie like Logan in the near future. The type of movies they will continue to provide will always serve to fit the narrative of continuity and an upcoming sequel, that will usually hurt its quality of having to fulfill all that requirements

    Ahh beat me to it, I'm uploading a video on Logan too this friday, but I really liked this one! One small thing; I thought the 'nature' symbols were a little far fetched, in my opinion it is more likely that; Charles tending the garden served to juxtapose his new life with his former purpose, Logan wanting to buy the Sunseeker served to show his desire to escape from this world (where do you find more solitude than on the endless ocean?) and Charles comparing Laura to wilflife served to justify her foot claws. The enclosure part was pretty interesting though :)

      When I think "Modern Feminist Film," I imagine films like Wonder Woman, Mad Max: Fury Road, the two recent Star Wars films and maybe Moana. All of which are large-scaled stories of heroes and villains where the story just so happens to center around a woman.
      I do *NOT* imagine a run-of-the-mill harmless comedy that just so happens to also have ghosts in it for the sole purpose of justifying calling the film a reboot.
      Ghostbusters 2016 flew too close to TWO suns (being the reboot of an 80's science-comedy AND being a potential flag and mascot for the brand that is often referred to as "feminism") and it couldn't handle the pressure associated with either brand. As a result, it got fucking roasted (critically and financially).
      Either that, or films with the word "Ghost" in them are cursed to suffer political torment. This doesn't bode well for future Ghost Rider films.

      Which is exactly what happens here - dark themes like death and personal tragedy are just simple means for creating drama here and nothing more. They aren't explored - the plot still revolves around escaping the bad guys and saving the children. Which is extremely generic.
      Logan has a simple plot structure with basic story arc and basic 2Dimensional charecters. The script is bad and filled with "fucks" so that it seems more mature and appeals to 16 year olds.
      The Dark Knight series is multy-layerd and just cannot be compared to this mediocre movie.

    Ehhh that's a pretty one-sided view of enclosure, at least in the American West. Part of the problem for poor farmers in the West were indeed free for animals to graze in -- which included the incredibly wealthy cattle barons. When driving cattle, un-enclosed land was "free" for ranging, and cattle were legally allowed to walk across your fields and strip them clean of the food.
    I get how it plays in to this story, but enclosure laws actually protected poor homesteaders against the rich too, and was not as nefarious as you make it out to be. Actually, public land (National Parks, BLM land, etc.) have more protections than private land that was un-enclosed, ironically. Heh.

    A lot of what you're saying applies to the Mad Max movies as well. Max' skills enable the Tribes of the North, The Sydney Tribe, and even Bartertown to exist and continue, but he cannot be a part of them. Instead, he becomes the first legend of the new, post-apocalyptic world (I personally think that Tom Hardy's Max is not the same person as Mel Gibson's Max, but the legend is beginning to take hold. One of the reasons is that Gibson's character wouldn't have left at the end of Fury Road. Gibson's Max WANTED to have a place in a stable society, but was not allowed to go north because of Papagallo's shell game, was not allowed to go to Sydney because the plane had to escape, and was exiled from Bartertown, even though Auntie respected and admired him. He COULD have stayed at the end of Fury Road, but chose to leave).

    hey wisecrack, i have a theory or something for you.
    so in class im studying about new writing movements, like modernism, where they reinvent writing styles and tropes. which got me thinking, its the wattpad app "Tap" a new movement? the style of writing in 'Tap' takes the form of a text conversation, so it is completely dialogue, and the story is told directly within the characters conversation and writing like this has never previously exsisted because people didn't understand how a conversation like that flowed, but now with the modern age, people understand it, thus the 'text conversation' style of writing has gained popularity.
    though the potential for 'Tap' is there, there has been no revolutionary text derived from it, theres no "ulysses" or "a farewell to arms" but, as said before, it does have the potential.
    so, to conclude, is "Tap" a new movement? or just simply a craze?
    stemming off from that, since films have similar movements, do movies like "Unfriended" and "Friend request" mean that there is a new way of telling a story, through a screen?
