Why Did the Movie Logan Affect Me So Much? by Pedro Zambarda

Logan’s Poignant Exploration of Family, Aging, and Mortality Resonates with Fans and Critics Alike

This piece, originally published on Medium on March 5th, 2017, discusses Logan’s ending. The author viewed the film on March 4th, two days after its March 2nd release. The screening was a dubbed version, a detail that resonated with fans of voice actor Isaac Bardavid. Many viewers were deeply moved by this latest Marvel Comics Wolverine film, which significantly outperformed earlier entries like X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) and Wolverine: Immortal (2013). Logan adopts a minimalist approach, successfully adhering to a “less is more” concept. Its core themes explore family, the reality of superheroes, aging, and mortality. The film’s portrayal of life’s challenges, encompassing both deceptions and successes, resonated particularly with the author, who was 28 at the time. The narrative centers around three pivotal characters: James Logan Howlett (Hugh Jackman), Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart), and Laura (Dafne Keen). All three actors deliver powerful performances, with Dafne Keen’s portrayal being particularly standout.
