CHAPTER V CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
5.1 Conclusion
Based on the analysis on the previous chapter, the writer presents the conclusion related to the mutant power symbol in the X-Men movie toward the American
Dream that reflected in this movie as follows: 1.
American dream is a belief that unites the people of America, but in this movie there are two ways the people of America as both human and mutant
sense it. First, there is belief that human and mutant can share and live cooperatively because they think that mutant and human have the same
ancestor as the X-men believe it. Second, there is belief that human or mutant cannot live in the same field because both mutant and human think that they
are in the lower level than themselves. As Senator Kelly believes that mutants are dangerous because of their god-liked power. And Magneto believes that
there are no tolerances in the world and he also believes that mutant is more superior than human.
2. In this movie, there are two types of mutant power. Those are Physical mutant
power and physics mutant power. The type of physical mutant power means that the power deals with the strength, ability, and function of the body. For
example, Wolverine who has claws in his both hands and healing factor which makes him regenerate damages or destroyed areas of his body far

beyond the capabilities of ordinary human. And the physic mutant power deals with their thought. For example, Professor Xavier and Dr. Jean Grey
who have telepathic ability that enable them to read or manipulate human’s thought. However, mutants can have more than one abilities, for example, Dr.
Jean Grey who is a telepathic and telekinetic user and Wolverine and Sabretooth who has healing factor and animal instinct.
3. The symbols which appear in this movie are as follows: first, mutant powers
which have strange ability such as shape sifting, healing factor, telekinetic, telepathy, weather manipulation, magnetic manipulation, ice manipulation
and many others have become a border in American dream creating a perfect society because of the differences in power and fearing each other. So that
many mutants and humans have thought that they cannot live freely coexist. Second, the movement of the brotherhood of mutant taking place, the Statue
of Liberty as a symbol of American freedom from England, symbolizes that there is no place of tolerance of this world because mutants have been treated
badly such as; alienation, becoming experiment subjects for super soldiers, etc. The last is the ignorance of the mutant’s potential in any aspects such as;
technology, medicine, engineering, and education. Mutants are always being unacceptable in human society, therefore, mutants run away from them and
the only society which will accept them is mutant society, for example the Xavier School for Gifted youngsters or X-Men and the Brotherhood of
Mutant that each of them has difference in their belief.
