Hi, i wanted to share my views on the apocalypse, analystic style. [so full of SPOILER]
Erik has retreated himself in the woods, he has a wife and a daughter, he calls them "Home". It will be taken away from him.
Charles has a family, his fellow student at the university he built, a place surrounded by nature. It will be burned to the ground.
Mystique has no home, she is a runaway ... and a woman.
Apocalypse want to destroy civilization, machines and super powers, falses idols and ecaetera. He want to return home. And what he believe to be harmony.Magneto as always been shred by his anger wher Professor X is kind and empathic. They both want harmony. They both lost there Home.
So we come to mother nature. Here nature is a female force, yang. She is the lost child of Erik (who was super connected to nature). She is on the run and has lost her memory, has nightmares of a world burnt to the ground.
This is a story of liberation, first home is destroyed, then there is the berseker rage and then will come the Phoenix. The rebirth symbolized in its most powerfull way. (And of course Jean is a woman).
The rebirth will only happen when Charles let go. He choose not to control anymore (link to the first trilogy). Just after that he will give back her memory to Moira (who is woman, they are so many). (In parallel, Jean gave some memory back to wolverine)(and Storm will gained back confidence in Mystique, who was, great symbol, strangled by Apocalypse).
Erik and Jean, man and woman, will rebuilt the home of the mutants. And Charles will have make a new X-Men team to protect his home. This is a powerfull scheme, psychologically, of mental reconstruction and new set up of barrier. (I'm not good in informatic but maybe it's like you erased virus files and set up new program). It is also the reorganization of the films for a new trilogy, so it works on lany levels, and i find relevant and powerfull, as it create meaning and deep feelings.
There is luch more that could be add and told (like the three new x-men all share red vision, symbol of the tree and memory, ...) but that is the main thing i wanted to pointed at.
Two or three time in the movie they insist on the word "Connected" and this is a connected movie, the characters form a all and go as one, it is even well connected to the other films and the forms is connected to the content.
