I think that the story of Spider-Man is actually a delusion of Peter Parker himself, his dream. Let's start a detailed analysis.
First of all, let me briefly introduce a few psychological concepts related to this and
Freud 's theory about dreams: 1. Freud believes that dreams are the satisfaction of wishes. The analytical formula of dream is: dream = suppressed desire + disguised satisfaction. In other words, a certain dream is always used to express a certain desire of the dreamer, but the satisfaction of this desire may be disguised and not so clear at a glance.
2. Simulate the same effect: Simply put, it is the psychological phenomenon of one person substituting himself into another person for a certain reason.

review The identity of Spider-Man in reality reveals the secret of the
celestial medical graduate student Xiaobi, because he refuses to fabricate the data, he has not been able to write the high impact factor SCI that his instructor wants He did not plead with his tutor for the thesis, so he was postponed to graduate. Others were originally honest and were not good at dealing with people. When encountering this kind of thing, people became more and more withdrawn. After a year of postponement, he still did not graduate. One drag is three years. Xiaobi originally had a girlfriend. They were in love with each other, but they couldn't resist the pressure of reality and broke up.
Because he didn't get a degree certificate, he couldn't get a job either. The high tuition fee made Xiao Bi, who was already poor in his family, even worse. He actually gave birth to death. In a suicide by cutting his wrist, he was rescued back. But his father suffered a heart attack because he couldn't receive this kind of stimulation, and his mother died of cerebral hemorrhage.
Xiao Bi fell into a deep self-blame, unable to extricate himself, and his spirit became more and more trance.
Spider-Man in Dreams-Xiaobi's Delusion
Xiao Bi, who escaped from reality, put his atonement in a dream. In the distant United States, far away from the heavens. In his dream, Xiao Bi changed his rustic appearance and became a handsome sunshine boy Peter Parker and went to high school.
Because Xiaobi couldn't accept the reality that he hadn't graduated after three years of postponement in his subconscious mind, he turned back the clock in a dream for a few years. Back to the good high school era.
Xiaobi's excellent grades since childhood are the hope of rural families. Before entering the university, as long as you study hard, you can get good grades. That was also the time when Xiaobi was most proud of.
When entering society at the postgraduate level of university, interpersonal relationships become complicated. Xiao Bi has never adapted. So in his dream, Xiaobi avoided the college years.
The interpersonal relationship in the school is simple, and although there are children who bully the weak, everyone does not have that deep scheming. The previous feelings of the classmates are also pure, like to like, not so easy to be manipulated by realistic factors. These all reflect Xiao Bi's evasion of reality.
Peter Parker refused to help the muscular man bully the weak and was knocked to the ground by the muscular man. Banhua thought Peter Parker was a good boy and took the initiative to befriend him.
In fact, this is Xiaobi who also transplanted his ex-girlfriend into his dream. In the dream, she has a sense of justice and agrees with Xiaobi's behavior not to bully the weak. (In reality,
Xiaobi has been expecting someone to agree that he will not falsify data, but no one understands it.) Peter Parker pulled out his old things and saw a photo of his father and a person. It looks like he is a friend of the dead father's. After investigation, he discovered that his father's friend is now a scientist at a large technology company. I thought he might know the secret of his father's life experience.
In his dream, Peter Parker fictionalized his parents as ""both died in a plane crash, give myself to my uncle for foster care". In this way, he got rid of the guilt of "I killed my father because I committed suicide" in reality.
When he first went to college, he came to a big city. Xiao Bi, who was dressed plainly, was often laughed at by his classmates. Sometimes, deep down, he would complain about why he was born in a poor peasant family. So in the dream, parents became scientists like their own mentors, and they had a high social status.
In his dream, Peter Parker used a fake name, pretending to be an intern at that technology company, and got in. He met Banhua in the company, and Banhua is an employee here. At the same time, he also met his father's friend-the great scientist. The great scientist asked a few profound questions, which puzzled everyone, but Peter Parker answered it easily. Everyone looked at him with admiration eyes, and the great scientist also favored him.
Here, "the disguise and compensation of dreams" couldn't be more obvious. In reality, Xiao Bi and his girlfriend were admitted to the same school, and his girlfriend graduated as scheduled and stayed in a good unit. Only Xiao Bi could not graduate, he became more and more afraid of contact with his tutor, and the tutor let him fend for himself. In his dream, Xiao Bi used a fake name to symbolize a new identity. He changed his cringing image and successfully answered the difficult questions raised by his tutor, which was appreciated by his tutor. It shows that he also expects to win the approval of his mentor in reality.
Peter Parker accidentally walked into the laboratory and was bitten by a spider. On the way home, he suddenly found that he had a spider-like ability, possessed infinite power, and became a superman.
In fact, the spider is a metaphor. We all know that the place spiders love to stay and their favorite behavior is to weave webs. Xiao Bi, who has postponed his graduation, has been evading reality, staying at home and surfing the Internet every day, and gradually imagined himself as a spider. The plot of "bitten by a spider" naturally comes from animal experiments that every medical student can't escape, killing white mice (in reality, Xiaobi hates this behavior).
Peter Parker, who has super powers, made a big show in school. In the basketball hall, the muscular man’s basketball overturned the dye of the glasses girl. Peter Parker stepped forward to protect the glasses girl. He also played the muscular man and buckled it. Got a rebound.
This episode comes from Xiao Bi’s first love. In high school, Xiao Bi saw a Bai Meifu, but because he has always been inferior to his identity as a farmer, he has never confessed. Bai Meifu was finally abandoned by a tall, handsome and muscular man. The overturned dye symbolizes the tainted purity of Bai Meifu in Xiao Bi's heart. And Xiao Bi, who stood up like a knight, was a dream he had never realized.
Peter Parker still didn't understand the meaning of his superpowers. He quarreled with his uncle, went out in anger, and ran into a robber. He didn't intervene and let the robber go away. As a result, the robber killed his uncle. Peter Parker regretted it and finally understood the phrase "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." He decided to avenge his uncle and look for the robber everywhere. There was a special mark on the robber-a tattoo on his wrist.
Seeing this, you should be able to understand the director's deep meaning. Yes, Xiao Bi still couldn't escape the self-blame of his "furious parents", and transferred the plot to his uncle. His uncle died indirectly because of him, and he needed to avenge his uncle.
Everyone should pay attention to this detail-he has never been able to find the robber. In fact, the reason is very simple-because the robber is himself in reality. The tattoo on the robber's wrist was actually the scar left by Xiaobi's suicide in reality. Xiaobi made up an enemy and transferred his hatred of him. Complete your own salvation through the plot of "chasing robbers".
Peter Parker arrested criminals everywhere and received unanimous praise from the masses. He worked out a formula that his father hadn't worked out. The great scientist felt the enlightenment and made a new breakthrough in research. Bai Meifu has an increasing affection for him and invites him to eat at her house. Everything looks so beautiful. If it were not a dream, would everything go so smoothly?
But this glamorous dream reflected Xiaobi's bleak reality more profoundly. In reality, no one understands Xiao Bi's unwillingness to compromise with the world. Everyone is busy making fakes just to get a job after graduation. The mentor was just busy making money from fame and fortune, and didn't put his mind on scientific research at all. The girlfriend's family also feels that his family is not good.
In the dream, we can find that the director handles this situation very delicately. Although the people like Spider-Man very much, the police station (a metaphor of the cold reality) considers him a cancer outside the system, stresses that he must behave according to the rules, and wants to capture him. And every time he went to his girlfriend's house, he didn't go through the front door, but went in through the window, which also alluded to the fact that Xiao Bi was rejected by his girlfriend's house in reality.
Scientists have used Peter Parker's research formula, and the research has made new progress in animals, and the mouse has become a Namek rat. But he was unwilling to do a human test immediately. Fired from the company. The angry scientist experimented with himself, so he became a Godzilla and started to do what Godzilla loves to do, destroying the city.
It should be said that the dream becomes complicated here. In reality, Xiaobi's mentor is in a high position, and he has already done everything by himself. Everything is done by the hands, only responsible for fame and fortune. This is the reality of the celestial dynasty, and it is also a stage that everyone needs to get through. But Xiao Bi is too naive to see through reality. On the contrary, I hate this social ethos of not looking at strength and only looking at relationships. In the subconscious, he hoped that his mentor would play with fire and set himself on fire. So I have that kind of dream. But he himself also understands that this is impossible, because the mentor is not wrong either. The fault is this society. If you don't have sex with it, it will repel you.
The research goal of the scientist in the dream is to "generate fusion to create organisms without weakness." In fact, it is consistent with the mainstream view of the Chinese society, and there is no morality in the social norms of the Chinese dynasty. Fame and fortune take the lead, the fittest survive, the strong survive, and the winner is king. Everyone is adapting along this path. No one wants to change this unfair system, and no one wants to think about right and wrong.
But in the dream, Peter Parker wants to change all this. He believes that he is righteous, and he also believes that he will not become evil. He laid a net in the sewers to fight the monster lizardmen.
The sewer is naturally a metaphor for Xiao Bi's dirty and smelly bedroom. He keeps grumbling online, but no one pays attention to him. I can only play online games freely... The shot of Spider-Man flying between the buildings quickly is actually a symbol of Xiao Bi's constantly switching web pages on the Internet in reality.
He was hurt by Peter Parker, and Bai Meifu took good care of him. Let him pluck up the courage to fight the lizardman again. The ambition of the lizard people is to spread the virus all over the world and make everyone become lizard people.
In reality, not only Xiaobi’s tutor is like this, but the whole society is like this. Xiaobi could not change his mentor. Because what he faced was not just a mentor, but the social atmosphere and long-term inertia of the entire celestial dynasty.
However, this did not prevent him from defeating the Lizardmen in his dream... was recognized by the police station (a metaphor of the cold reality), and everyone's virus was relieved by him and Bai Meifu (the social atmosphere was purified).
Speaking of this, everyone should understand this movie. Peter Parker is actually another personality imagined by Chinese graduate student Xiao Bi. With excellent editing and metaphors, this film can almost rank among the top ten of IMDB, and can basically kill classics such as Mulholland Road.
The intention of the director Drunkard is not at all about drinking, but with a cliché story, alluding to the various bad habits and persistent social problems in contemporary China. Its depth of thought and humanistic care are worthy of our admiration.
A deep understanding of the spirit of the film will be of great benefit to the improvement of the Chinese postgraduate training system in the future. I hope that this tragedy of Xiaobi will never happen again. The country can change for the better.
