Raindrops are falling on my head

Why do comic heroes have to follow the routines of Superman or Batman? Why can't comic heroes get down, depressed, and hesitate? Of course, watching such movies is more or less for sensory enjoyment and to stimulate the secretion of adrenaline, but some extra experiences are not good? The literary film is of course the best, but isn’t it interesting to add a little literary element to the blockbuster? The boundaries of the movie do not have to be so clear, the highlights in the movie are worthy of people to talk about.
My favorite shots-Peter decided to give up and walked on the road in relief, with the melody of "Raindrops keep falling on my head" coming from the side, as if returning to the carefree at the beginning, not so much as evading responsibility. It would be better to say that this is the most reasonable choice as an ordinary person. There is also a detail, the scene when Peter put on the hood for the last time before discarding his clothes. In the process of carrying his vocation, he actually had instinctive resistance in his heart, but his moral responsibility drove him to do so. If you look closely, you will know that this is alluding to the Messianic complex of Westerners.
Although in reality we do not need to shoulder the mission of a savior, we must admit that in a country like China without the constraints of universal beliefs, people always seem to lack a bit of awe and gratitude. But this ideology seems to be ubiquitous in Western movies, whether it is purely literary films or super blockbuster films like Spiderman.
