You should write a movie script!!!
Also, the x-men ended up winning, even if only by going back in time.
Maybe that's what happens at death, a re-run of your life with stronger subliminal messages to keep you on track. Remember, only you have the power to create your universe.

Sme of this I can't say for certain but other aspects I can definitely explain away, the "police lineup" for example is from the film that made the director of DOFP famous, The Usual Suspects.
The dystopian future and the marked mutants, high tech prisons with devices placed on the mutants as well as the humans who aided them is taken directly from the comics. the original Days of Future Past is a story line from Uncanny X-Men 141&142 written by Chris Claremont with plot assistance and artwork by John Byrne in the early 80's.
the tattoos on the faces of the mutants(the M) is from the introduction of Bishop in 1991. I think most of what you're seeing as foreshadowing is simply homage to and based on the vast history of the X-Men comics throughout the incarnations of the various series.
I took away the opposite message from the film as you did, that if you fight back and adapt to your tormentors tactics, there is always a way to persevere in the end. the X-Men win and save the world from the horrid dystopian future by effectively changing the timeline because they knew it was win or extinction.
