The Point Between Rage and Serenity - X-MEN: First Class (2011)

[orbital]

Erik's laughter of pure happiness at the end was priceless

[salamandastron]

xavier's power is actually sheer empathy for all people. He feels.

[Fargo]

I wish more superhero movies had quiet emotional moments like this.

[UnkemptMinecraft]

My favourite small detail from this scene is that Xavier asks permission to go into Erik's mind, and says thank you after he unlocks the memory. Consent and appreciation, the hallmarks of any great relationship.

[GingerZombie]

Two of the greatest, yet underrated actors.

[NathanIslesOfficial]

Do you not understand how powerful Xavier is...he has the power to fully unlock someone's potential and then mind control them

[mitchellmurray]

I always felt that of all the marvel franchises, X-Men had the best casting choices and the best acting. Michael Fassbender as a young Magneto was fucken genius!

[saiyanx]

What I love is how the first time Magneto tries to move the dish, it's with both hands. After finding the point between rage and serenity? One is all he needs

[TheLanceUppercut]

This scene alone makes First Class the best X-Men movie

[LEMCproductions]

James and Michael were literally perfect casting. I could watch these two act together forever.

[arnoldrivas]

This is perhaps that clip where it solidified my love for Magneto. He is indeed a complex character and one where we all relate to. Between good and bad there is true greatness.

[lessermook]

They were the first of the purest form of true Brotherhood.

[louisemacallister]

Just watching this one scene is enough to realise why no one else could have played the young Charles and Erik except James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender - they're both phenomenal actors and bring so much depth and emotion to their characters.

[gabemcdowell]

Imagine if anakin and Obi wan in the prequels were like this

[TheStarcraftJACKAL]

Now that's something often absent in superhero movie.

Acting.

[Pguz]

As someone who lost their mother this scene hits really fucking hard.

[javierdetena]

And now he's able to move the earth.

[ZombieChimpanzee]

"see that satellite disc, try turning it to face us. the TV signal's been a bit fuzzy and maybe that'll help."

[proudkiwi]

Xavier doesn't need to boost Mutants powers to unlock their hidden potential like Apocalapse did. He instead gets inside their heads and figures out their vulnerabilities and teaches them how to overcome them. Are far more powerful tactic....

[Ashtasticle]

I love the way Charles thanks Erik for allowing him to witness that memory as well as wiping away a tear of his own
