Saying a character has good or evil personalities, depends on which point of view we look at them from. In one point of view they might look evil because their actions might be harmful for others, but sometimes, if we look at them from different point of view, they usually have several reasons and good purposes or intentions. A villain in one certain movie might be the hero in another movie, vice versa. Talking about villain, one of the greatest and remarkable villain of superhero movie is the master of magnetism, Magneto, from X-Men movie series. Or at least, that might be what people assume him to be. In this essay, I would like to argue that Magneto is an anti-villain, based on X-Men: First Class as specific and the other movies of the series to support the arguments.

Questioning the Reality in Christopher Nolan’s Inception

It was released in 2010 and nominated in the 2011 Oscars in eight different categories, including art direction, cinematography, music (original score), best picture, sound editing, sound mixing, visual effects, and writing (original screenplay). From all those nominations, the film won four of them which are cinematography, sound editing, sound mixing, and visual effects. As someone who has watched Nolan’s films, apart from Inception, such as Batman Begins (2005), The Dark Knight (2008), The Dark Knight Rises (2012), The Prestige (2006), Interstellar (2014), and the latest film Dunkirk (2017), I would say Inception is my second most favorite among Nolan’s films after The Dark Knight Rises.
