X-Men:
Past, Future and Back to the Past and the Future Again!
Dreams of flying are an indication of ambition, freedom and
spiritual awakening.
I have personally
often dreamt of flying high above the city lights when I was a child, and have
started having these dreams again recently.
Bryan Singer appears to be an ambitious ‘high flier’ himself.
He is the director
of the latest blockbuster film: ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’; the latest ‘sci-fi filled’
fun feature, featuring all the usual suspects, but at their very loving beginnings again.
The characters in
this film are uppermost on the hit list of interesting and original most wanted
individuals, loved by all, envied yet revered, and respected for their loyalties
to one another as a family-run team.
The main
character: Charles/Professor X, is in this movie, a young, ambitious and caring,
but highly emotional individual, who, although different compared to the
others, is also very much part of the family team.
The leading ladies
are reminiscent of two super special ladies I personally know: one of whom is a ‘sorellina’ of
mine. The latter fabulous lady, is, as is the character ‘Mystique’ in the
movie, a strong, adaptable and super flexible (double entente), lovely woman, who is resilient
and never gives up on her family or friends.
The other leading
lady, as the psychic: Jean Grey, with the extraordinary power to move with her
mind, as well as being able to change lives, due to her thoughtfulness, as well
as due to her affinity to others' feelings, and with the use of her emotions/'emoticons'
(wink wink), reminds me a little of someone very very very close to 'moi'...
These leading
legendary ladies, each with her own powerful way of reaching others and
touching their men's lives, transform their leading gentlemen and guide them
into the light, with their everlasting feminine endurance, patience and love.
The other leading
men in the film-other than the initiator of the whole group: Professor X- remind
me of a couple of 'rascal-i' rascals I know called 'Gino-Gin' and Jackie
'Chang-ie', but not the gin drink or the actual ‘Jackie Chang’ of course.
The latter two ‘gentle-bros’,
have super powerful abilities, in terms of being very 'hands on’ and quick in
responding or saving the day- whenever anyone is in need of their superpowers
and generous services. Without them, nothing gets done, that's for sure…
In the film, these
two ‘rascal-i’ characters are empowered with: in one case: super speed, and in
the other case: super claws/’hands on’ hands.
Last, but by no
means least: two other leading male characters in: 'X-Men- Days of Future Past', are the youngsters known as: Scott Summers and Logan/Wolverine.
Scott is the back
bone of the legendary organisation and is a legend (wink wink) in his own
right. He is calm, friendly, and super reliable as the everlasting brother and friend.
Logan is the leading character- as always-, with his
never ending dark mysterious charms and sexy, masculine good looks. He oozes
confidence and yet has a vulnerable, extremely endearing shyness about him,
especially with the only woman he has ever loved.
He may remind some of us of
a man we have known in the past,
still know at present, and will know even more in future days. An X man, unknown to most, but very well and truly genuinely understood, by the only visionary X woman he loves.
The whole 'feel'
of the ‘X Men: Days of Future Past’ movie, reminds one of flying back and forth
from past to future to the past again, in the sense that the characters are the
same throughout the years in terms of their essence, ambitions, free spirited
nature and loving relationships, as well as having the same sense of values,
morality and family life throughout the passing years.
Ciro's Pizza Pomodoro, on Beauchamp Place,
is a home away from home to many famous stars, who are regular visitors and who
faithfully hold true to zio Ciro Orsini,
his nephews Antonito Coppola and my fratello Ciro
Coppola, and to his niece, my sorellina: Antonella Orsini.
Famous Stars' loyalties also extend of course to the two lovable rascals: my cousin ‘Gingin’/Gino
and cousin Jack- best known to me as
‘Jackie baby Chang-ie’.
