How’s this for unexpected territory in a superhero film: “X-Men: First Class” not only uses the Kennedy years, the Civil Rights movement and the Cuban Missile Crisis as a backdrop for its retro tale, the movie’s story of two massively powerful mutants who struggle against bitter prejudice was directly informed by the complicated lives of Malcolm X and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
I can very much see that. It is a similar situation/relationship that would provide a pretty good inspiration in carrying out those roles in this storyline.
Now i'm really hyped to see this movie
I'm pretty sure they also influenced many X-Men comics so it makes sense.
Interesting, although I'm not sure how they intend to tie that in with cold war politics, which seems to be the movies main theme.
