Il mistero di Past Tense, il film che ti farà tremare



The 2014 crossover film "X-Men: Days of Future Past" reset the franchise by venturing into the past, creating a second movie timeline. Then there are the two "Deadpool" movies which pretty much exist outside of time.


After the original "X-Men" trilogy, some of the sequels were actually prequels. 2014's "Days of Future Past" erased most of those films from existence. Just about every release afterward took place before 2000's "X-Men." "Days of Future Past" ("DoFP") simultaneously takes place in the future and the past as Wolverine time travels. So you can feel free to watch it second or later on.

Whatever transpired in the next large gap of time anywhere between 2013 and 2023 is a mystery, but Wolverine's efforts obviously didn't help Professor X and Magneto win the war against mutants. Because of that, Wolverine's consciousness is sent back in time to January 1973, as is later noted on a newspaper in "X-Men: Apocalypse." At least twice in the film, we're told Wolverine is about 50 years in the past.


After he prevents the Sentinels from being built, he returns to a new 2023 where Jean Grey, Scott, and everyone he knew is alive. However, because Wolverine altered the past, the films you just watched were essentially erased from 1973 onward. Every film moving forward is part of a second "X-Men" timeline.


It is clear from these examples that the present tense does not always indicate the present time. Similarly, the past tense does not always indicate past time. Hence it is important that time and tense should not be confused.


And they thankfully had some great films to discuss: Not only did we get exciting releases from American masters, but many festival and international films from the past few years finally made their way stateside now that theaters were open. It was a year of freaky mothers (of car babies, lamb babies, baby Annettes), reverend mothers (Charlotte Rampling, in both Dune and Benedetta), tiny mothers (Petite Maman) and parallel mothers (Parallel Mothers). It was a year of franchise entries screwing with intertextuality, for better (The Matrix Resurrections) or worse (Space Jam: A New Legacy). It was a year of strong, slow cinema and a year of the trashiest fast-fashion fodder you could imagine. It was a year of musicals. The variety was there, if people wanted to look for it. And if 2021 had anything going for it, people had more time and ability to look than ever. We certainly did. So please, using what we found, support great filmmakers and a great industry in the midst of its metamorphosis.
