Halle Berry as Storm, Ian McKellen as Magneto, and Patrick Stewart as Xavier in the X-Men trilogy
Summary The original X-Men trilogy were landmark Marvel movies that each featured quintessential scenes astutely encapsulating the overarching X-Men narrative. The X-Men movie set the stage for the MCU timeline with its intricate blend of nuanced characterization and a mature tone. At the heart of the X-Men franchise is the struggle between mutants and humans - a metaphor for real-world discrimination and oppression.
This emotionally charged moment is visually striking and thematically essential to the trilogy. It introduces the audience to one of the film's central motifs: discrimination and fear of the "other." Magneto's backstory as a Holocaust survivor makes him a sympathetic villain and gives his philosophy a tragic edge. Magneto's origin in Auschwitz provides a deeper context for his future actions.
