Rereading a 2017 interview I did with James Mangold about LOGAN, because reasons, and man oh man did this line about Logan’s death scene hit me in the gut archive.is/fTLBG

Right, he literally battles a clone of himself that looks just like him. It's pretty blunt, but it works. He's also battling Weapon X, meaning he's battling himself at the height of his powers, at the height of his healing. Youthful, unstoppable, and without remorse. Logan doesn't have the physical ability he used to have, plus he has a conscience, which is very much getting in the way of being a successful warrior What I always find interesting is the moment that creature is disposed of is the moment - is the one minute — he gets to exist on this Earth in a way that is free of that shame. He looks into this girl's eyes and knows that she will not necessarily die because he loves her

Sure, but how does his final line come about? Who writes it? Scott Frank sent that to me one morning. One day, we're trading the script back and forth in emails and I get that. I got chills and I knew it was done. It has multiple meanings. The reason I kind of started doing cartwheels around my office when I read it was it's not just what death feels like - it's what love feels like. I'm holding your hand. I'm looking in your eyes. And also, I'm going down this dark tunnel. I've always gone down this tunnel and come back again, but now I sense I'm not coming back. I tried to remind Hugh that that line is ecstatic. The gravitational pull of expectation is this scene is so sad, but, in fact, I don't view it as a sad scene. I view it as this character, who's lived four lifetimes of pain, finally getting set free.
