Today, on a whim, I want to talk about some thoughts about the third Spider-Man directed by Sam Remy, commonly known as the old version of "Spider-Man 3." It may be because I formally got involved in the film industry after graduation, and I feel that I should make some conclusions about the films I yearn for. These conclusions may make some friends feel resonant, or they may feel that their understanding is far apart. But this is not the most important thing, because I just want to record some of my past and some thoughts. They are very cumbersome and not interesting. After all, it is me who looks back the most.
Since I can remember, "Spider-Man 3" should be the first movie I watched in a theater. At that time, I was still living in Gangding, Guangzhou, and I lived in the military area compound with my parents. Next door was Tianhe Studios. On the first floor was KFC. My mother liked shopping from the first floor to the penultimate floor. I liked drinking on the first floor. Eat burgers with hot milk. One day, my mother and I saw a movie character in a black leather jacket appeared on the advertising board outside Tianhe Studios. My first reaction was Spider-Man, but my mother corrected me and said that Spider-Man is red and blue. I said a joke. Admitted wrong. You know, my mother has never been a trendy person, but even she also knows the image of Spider-Man, which to some extent shows that the bug has already made a certain reputation in the country at that time. With curiosity about the advertising column, we walked into the theater. The tickets we bought were a little late that day. When we entered, it happened to be the opening of the classic Columbia Pictures. It should be besides the MGM of Cat and Mouse. The image of the first film studio in my memory. Before entering the stadium, I watched a trailer of "Spider-Man 3" from the screen of the theater. The scene of Toby taking out a black suit made me, who had never been exposed to the story of Spider-Man, had a misunderstanding: Spider-Man was originally It was a black suit. Later, I thought it was unsightly and painted it in red and black. With the fragments of Sandman on the roof, I even thought Spider-Man could sand himself like Krocdal. It’s really silly to think about it now. Ha ha.
In the theme song, I looked at the fragments that were constantly being reorganized by the broken mirror. I hadn’t watched the first two parts and I continued to fill in some plots: Uncle Ben looks so fierce, he must have a bad attitude towards the protagonist; this one wears a medieval gray armor. Who is this person? Who is this uncle octopus standing in front of the sun? Later I learned that the fierce-looking Uncle Ben was the pain and regret of Peter Parker's life; the man in medieval armor was the green devil Osborn who was drowned in the wall and died of his own tricks; standing in front of the sun thought Dr. Octopus Otto who created the sun by himself but lost everything. With strangeness and excitement, when Harry watched Peter and Mary Jane coldly in the film, although I didn't know the reason, I already felt that there was a complicated relationship between the two. With the beginning of the first air battle, I have already understood the contradiction between the two from the dialogue alone. I have to say that the film allows a kid who has never been in contact with the previous game to understand the relationship and contradiction between the characters at once. This is one thing. A commendable consideration. Before that, the meteorite loaded with the symbiote fell on the side of the two who were kissing on the Internet (it’s thank goodness to see the two kissing my mother without covering my eyes), the mass was like a liquid and thick The black matter of the body gushes out, declaring that my misunderstandings have been solved.
After Sandman came out, he explained his situation and the things he cared about in just a few minutes. Then he was involved in the experiment and his whole body was deserted. The first reaction when he sobered up was to pick up things again and again with his hands that could not hold things. A necklace with a picture of her daughter. This is what I think is the most moving solo villain in the history of Super British movies. Mary Jane came to Peter's house and complained. I was down by that Gwenby. It was obviously I came first (pop!). From this scene, I saw for the first time a defender in the whole city. The hero of peace, originally lived in such a simple rental house, but now think about it, compared to the house I rent near the company, it seems to be pretty good, at least there is a lovely girl in the door. Later, Xiao Chong rescued Gwen, saying that Eddie was really calm, and his crush was about to burp, but he could continue to take pictures. By the way, he took a break with his prospective father-in-law, or said that you all trust Xiao Chong’s rescuer so much. Speed? After Peter successfully changed Gwen's life on this set, he contacted Eddie once, and Eddie, a young and energetic boy, came up and dissed Peter, who was in a proper minefield and changed to Uncle Wolf or Brother Banner Hammer. Not giving a slap on the spot haha. After that, it was the first episode in the film that made me laugh. Time and again Jameson was interrupted by the secretary to remind me to take medicine, and because the official power of his wife at home didn't dare to get angry, it eased the rhythm of the previous series of tense episodes. Both Peter and Eddie wanted a weaving. After all, it’s too hard to take pictures in the wind and rain every day. There is no need to worry about food and clothing in a security post. However, Jameson, the bug’s number one black fan, asked to take pictures of spiders. The photos of the crimes are killing Peter, but Eddie has already started to think of some crooked ideas.
The Gwen family, who was rescued by the bug, has a strong background. If nothing else, I will hold a meeting to thank people. The audience is full of excited children and adults, and even played the classic animation theme song. Really, in case Peter will be here. Isn't it embarrassing to catch bad guys in another neighborhood or take pictures of your grand welcome party? Harry, who had lost his memory, came to watch the show stupidly with a marshmallow. Mary Jane watched Gwen reproduce the classic upside-down kiss. The audience in the audience was booing, only a pure child shouting "No! no!" !", so cute. The commotion of the sand people interrupted this Baixue turmoil. The bug was not familiar with the opponent's ability in the first battle, and did not take advantage of it, so he took a sand bath by the way. Mary Jane had an emotional relationship with Peter because of Gwen. Although it is understandable, she still looks aggrieved. You obviously kissed Jameson's son in the second part, but Peter's reaction here is not very good. Be considerate, no matter how you say you are pouting with other beauties in front of your girlfriend, you can see that Peter has started to drift a bit here. Then came the first major turning point of the film. Peter and Aunt May learned that the murderer of Uncle Ben was actually a Shaman. For Aunt May, it only added the reason for the death of her husband, but for Peter it was. The fundamental origin of himself as a hero was shaken, and he was driven to ruin because he mistakenly thought that the person who was let go was the murderer, but the real murderer went unpunished and even turned into a super criminal to bring harm to the world. The double pressure caused Peter to have a nightmare wearing a battle suit. When a superhero was most vulnerable, he doubted the correctness of what he did. The symbiote seized this opportunity and covered it with a symbol of greater strength. The red and blue jersey, which was bigger and more responsible, approached Peter's whole body like a devil's claw. When Peter woke up from his dream, it was too late. Looking at the familiar but unfamiliar neighbor Spider-Man in the mirror, he merged with the night, Peter's reaction was: this is great, new power, new feeling Compared with the strength that matches the current reputation, what is all the discomfort?
The foreshadowing of Dr. Connors's investigation of the symbiote fragments for Peter has always been a hint of the once-rumored Spider-Man 4, but a separate paragraph may just be to illustrate the danger of the symbiote. Then Peter learned of the whereabouts of the Sandman (it was actually from the radio, can you really know the crime information of the whole city by this alone), Peter, who understood the strength of the Sandman, made a decision, borrowing the powerful destruction of the symbiote battle suit Power is not for arresting the Sharen, but for revenge. Eddie came to the place where the incident happened, saying that I like your new clothes, and then the daily minefield, but this time Peter is not used to him, SLR soldier, by the way, use flashing lights here. The transition method is very good. In the tunnel, Peter slowly approached the Sand Man at the shadow blind spot as if he had hidden his symbiosis before. When he opened his mouth, he questioned the atrocities that the Sand Man had committed against Uncle Ben, and once again emphasized that the nature of the battle was a private grievance. Under the blessing of the symbiote battle suit, Peter is obviously more cruel than before. It is hard to imagine that he would make a brutal act of rubbing the enemy's face on the moving subway. If it were not for the sandman, this plot might be the same. To be deleted. After realizing that the sandman’s weakness was water, Peter quickly destroyed the water pump to kill the sandman. Although the sandman did not die in reality, at this moment Peter had violated his previous creed psychologically. The last time he accidentally caused a robbery When the criminal fell to his death, his heart was mixed. This time he killed a super criminal with his own hands, but said coldly: "Good death". Peter turned his haircut into "Bullish Maguire" and spoke ruthlessly to the landlord, but the pure-hearted Peter quickly realized that he was abnormal and quickly returned to normal.
The amnesiad Harry and Peter played at home as they used to, but Harry was still able to use his physical memory to show the reaction speed of the second-generation Green Goblin, which made Peter a little worried, because the friendship between them was based on the amnesia. Under weak conditions. The relationship between Mary Jane and Harry gradually became a little more subtle. Harry once expressed interest in Mary Jane, but at that time he chose to quit. And Mary Jane subconsciously wanted to do something to fight back against Peter because of Gwen’s affairs, because at the moment he is at the bottom of his career, but Peter is at the peak of his life. This is a situation that has never appeared in the first two movies, so she I want to set some of these balances, but I don't want to cross the line, so the relationship with Harry is only a kiss. But this familiar scene evoked Harry’s memories and reminded him of everything. Once he faced Norman’s illusion instigation and shouted no, this time he did not hesitate to once again incarnate into the second generation of the Green Devil. Initiated revenge in the most painful way to poke Peter. Harry chose to attack his heart, causing Peter to lose his love and friendship, and angrily came to him to inquire about his guilt, adding fuel to Mary Jane's kiss, in order to disturb Peter's heart and take down this difficult enemy at his home court. But people are not as good as the sky. Peter's anger is embodied by the symbiote's suit as every punch he swings. Even if Kazakhstan uses all the high-tech equipment, he can't win, and he is ridiculed by Peter in every possible way, but Peter didn't want to take him. Li's life, if it weren't for Harry to attack Peter with a pumpkin bomb, maybe the battle would end here. At this point, Peter has lost his love and friendship. There is nothing worthy of his attention, except for one thing: his identity.
What is the difference between symbiont bugs and once? This question seems to be easy to answer. It is nothing but a bottom line that will kill criminals, but this is only the most superficial. Recall that in the first part, when Peter saw the Horn Daily slander him and the Green Devils, his eyes were only disappointed and wronged, but when he saw Eddie’s fake Spiderman theft photos, his anger overwhelmed everything. , At this moment, the only thing Peter cares about is: Someone made the three words Spider-Man smeared. Why is there such a gap? Doesn't the former Peter care about other people's slander? I think it can be understood that in the face of doubt and slander, most people will have two reactions: silently endure and launch a counterattack. The two reactions have nothing to do with right or wrong, but the difference in coping styles caused by different personalities. And Peter has always been more obsessed with doing what he ought to do than fighting back against public opinion. In this process, pragmatism is the essence, and cleaning the stigma is an objective result. But for Peter under the influence of the symbiote, he could not tolerate a trace of blasphemy against the image of a good social neighbor he had so hard to build up, and compared to continuing to do his own affairs, maintaining the image became the most important thing, so he used sharp Retaliated against Eddie in a way (spit out that the photo is real or fake). Immediately there is the most classic swaggering passage of the movie. This paragraph with BGM can break the waist of a large number of people now, showing the near-extreme expansion of the bully Maguire to the fullest. Speaking of, generally speaking, at this stage in the previous game, the protagonist is facing the big trough of the whole film. For example, Aunt May was killed because Peter was seen through, and Peter lost his superpowers, but "Spider-Man 3" was deepened by smooth wind. The crisis hidden behind this is a point that surprises me very much. Peter is a kind person after all. His swelling allows him to pour anger on Eddie, allows him to blow his nose to Jameson, who usually squeezes him, and also allows him to be in front of his beloved face and Gwen you and me. Nong, but never allowed herself to hurt Mary Jane, who had to protect her life without regard to her life. Therefore, on the top floor of the church that symbolized salvation, he wanted to take off the black clothes, but found that the mask that could be easily removed had been attached to the battle clothes, and even pierced the skin and swallowed himself. Peter roared and wanted to tear off his black clothes. The sound of the bell seemed to indicate that the life of the black Spider-Man was about to be exhausted, and another more powerful and evil criminal was about to be born.
Eddie Brook, a man who resembles Peter Parker from head to toe but is completely different. He is as young as Peter, he likes photography, he likes to take photos with Spider-Man, but he is also completely different from Peter. Peter will not forge non-existent photos, and will not distort facts for a job. This destined Peter to be a A hero, and Eddie is not a good ordinary person, but the fate of Eddie and Peter are wonderfully intertwined, because they are similar, and they have become different opponents because of their differences. Eddie was favored by the symbiote who lost his host because of Peter's humiliation. If the symbiote strengthened Peter's power and magnified his dark side, then Eddie gave it what it shouldn't have. Power swallowed his last conscience. The power that does not match the cognition represents the unknown, just like Peter who just acquired the spider power, but unfortunately, the timing of Eddie’s acquisition of this power is too wrong, and no one can guide him, which makes it tricky. The symbiote completely occupied Eddie's body and became the most difficult opponent in Spider-Man's life-Venom. Since ancient times, villains who are similar to the protagonist but are more evil have always been extremely popular, because audiences want to see them fight with similar abilities. The oppressive and aesthetic sense of symmetry is difficult to express in words. This is also true. Why Venom has become the only character in the Spider-Man villain with a personal movie. The venom took advantage of the sand man’s hatred of the worm and instigated him to deal with the common enemy together. The sand man’s hatred of the worm originated from Peter’s cross-border behavior when he was dazzled by hatred, and it was also a kind of hatred in a sense. transfer. The two chose a tall building under construction as the battlefield to provoke Peter. The configuration of the decisive battle is the most luxurious and hierarchical in the trilogy.
The relationship between civilians and heroes in Super British movies has always been a widely discussed topic. In addition to the huge gap in combat power between them, another important relationship is the support of the heroes by the people, which is a very important characterization. "Spider-Man 3" unfortunately lacks the description of this aspect. In the first two parts, people throw things at the Green Devil to protect their good neighbor Spider-Man; knowing that the other person is not good, they have to stand up for protection. The exhausted Spider-Man pulling the blackout car, these portrayals make us feel that Peter’s dedication is meaningful. Compared with those who question and don’t understand his voice, these people who trust and support themselves are supporting Peter once. Reason to stand up again. When the masses almost lost hope, the familiar figure was once again superimposed with the red and blue national flag, and moved freely between the high-rise buildings. I thought that the two colors were the embellishment added on the black clothes, but I didn’t know that it was hidden in malice. Really dazzling colors under filth. This battle is different from any previous decisive battle. Sandman and Venom, either are powerful enemies that Peter is difficult to win, plus Mary Jane who is daily hostage (I really didn’t mean to black her haha), this battle The probability of winning may be lower than that of the few AFC members flying next door to save the field, but the difference in this battle is not only that there are two enemies, but also that there are two heroes.
Harry Osborne, one of the most important roles throughout the three movies, he and Mary Jane and Aunt May constitute the three major networks of Peter friendship, love and family affection, and they are also the characters with the most frequent changes in their relationship with Peter. In this movie, Harry is firm in his desire to avenge his father. We don't know whether this idea was originally present or was strengthened after his body was strengthened. Many people wonder why the old butler didn’t tell Harry Norman about the wound, which made the two of them feud each other. My personal understanding is that the old butler can recognize that the wound was caused by a flying machine, indicating that he and Norman were in the experiment. Contact, at least before Harry found the laboratory, the old butler already knew the green goblin's equipment. Then why didn't he tell Harry such an important thing? The most likely thing was that he didn’t want Harry to come into contact with the Green Devils. If he talked about the flying machine, it would be equivalent to telling Harry that his most admired father was a super criminal who killed countless people. Before he died, Norman begged Peter not to let him. Harry knew all this, and seeing the two people who loved Harry didn't want Harry to take risks anymore. Therefore, Harry accidentally touched the equipment that the old butler did not know. It was not until Harry was disfigured by the pumpkin bomb that he realized that Harry already knew about the equipment, but he did not know the real cause of Norman's death, so he was in Harley. Lee rejected Peter and told him everything at the most tangled moment. Failure to tell Harry the truth in time caused the two to oppose the purpose. The old butler did something wrong, but it is undeniable that his starting point was to protect Harry.
As mentioned above, the public occupies a more important part of the Spider-Man movie than other super-British movies. In order to fit the theme of "good neighbor", the person in the movie who is responsible for coming forward when Peter's life is dying has become Harry, it is understandable from the perspective of the play. After all, the situation this time is quite different from the previous two, and there are too few places for the public to play. But when Harry and Peter worked together to rescue Mary Jane from the air, the people still cheered and applauded for the perfect cooperation, so the people are the catalyst to help us understand and empathize with superheroes. I also contributed a little joke here. Jameson was blackmailed by a cute little girl with a huge sum of money, but this actually makes me wonder. Isn’t the Clarion Daily waiting for the photographer to come and sell the photos? By this time Peter has already It's a regular employee. In theory, Jameson doesn't need to rush to find Peter to take pictures. But it's also possible that regular employees just need to be on call at the boss's instructions, so Jameson is so anxious. Here is another idea that the bully Maguire and the Jameson Lion opened their mouths to ask for double revenge. After turning back to the kind-hearted Peter, they don't know how to face the sudden rich life, hahaha. The relationship between Jameson and Peter has always been very interesting. On the one hand, he is well known as the number one black fan. He can’t wait to interpret all of Spider-Man’s actions as "enemy of the people". This is reflected in Sony’s "Marvel Spider-Man" game. It is even more impressive. No matter how many big things you have experienced in the plot, how many people have been saved, and how many super criminals have been defeated, Jameson will definitely call you after the fact that you are abusing your power to disrupt public order, and the logic is particularly peculiar. , Makes people dumbfounded. But once, Jameson even praised the bug, saying that he listened to his advice, used the super powers correctly, and expressed his approval. In a sense, Jameson may be more willing to think of Spider-Man as himself. The collection of things that cannot be done is like we always fantasize about what we might be. The more we cannot be the ideal person, the more demanding this type of people is. From this perspective, Jameson Bugs’ resentment may be more of a child’s jealousy. There is also a small episode. In the "Ultimate Spider-Man" animation, Lightning Thomson once accidentally hit and put on a battle suit, and caught a criminal by mistake. As usual, Jameson had already yelled at him. But this time he actually said "I saw a modified Spider-Man", so maybe Jameson is not the black fan of the bug, but the black fan of Peter hahaha.
The decisive battle of the film is two best friends who have released their suspicions against two super criminals. There is no room for either party, but the Venom here seems to have no role after being kicked off, and people can't help but wonder if he intends to let Sha People attract firepower to preserve their strength. It is said that in this paragraph, the family of the Sand people came forward to plead for the sand people to cease fire. Whether this information is true or false, I think at least one paragraph has been deleted, because the sand people’s last confession was particularly abrupt, and they died just now. Hammer bug, this will suddenly confess the truth. Therefore, in my imagination, a plot of Peter saving the Sandman's daughter should be added to the previous plot. The little girl collected a doll of a bug. Sandman saw it while leaving the treatment and felt very uncomfortable. When it came to the decisive battle, I learned from my wife and daughter that I almost killed the person who had saved my daughter, and then gave up resistance. Of course, this is just my own brain to explain the change in Sandman's attitude. The plot of Harry blocking the knife for Peter is something that many people can expect. In each of the trilogy, a person who has a close relationship with Peter will die. Whether this person is an enemy or a friend, Norman is right. For Peter, he takes care of his elders like Uncle Ben, Otto is the master of science he admires, and Harry is like his own brother, so the plot needs an inflection point for Peter to break out. Harry's death was not unexpected, but it was still uncomfortable, because he had just solved the misunderstanding with Peter and had not had time to play like he used to, like his father died under the blade of a flying machine. I always think that one of the reasons why Spider-Man 4 does not exist and should not exist is because of Harry. The relationship between him and Peter in the trilogy constitutes a complete cycle. If there is a sequel to which Harry does not exist, it is impossible to imagine it. What kind of interpersonal relationship is left to Peter to experience, Mary Jane obviously can't support this kind of dimensional arrangement alone. The reconciliation between Sand Man and Peter was reasonable. It was a tragedy, a tragedy that neither he nor Uncle Ben wanted to see. However, the two had no chance to discuss it before because of the unequal information and the conflict of positions. What is the difference between knowing the truth and justifying? They all understand the truth, but the former is objective and just allows people to obtain more information for judgment, the latter is subjective and rationalizes their behavior based on the truth, and the Shaman said that he only hoped that Peter would know Uncle Ben The real cause of death, it cannot be said that he never thought about wishing Peter to forgive himself, but he must think more about letting a young man who has lost a loved one know the facts. After that, no matter what he decides, whether to continue to hate himself or let go In all cases, the Sharen will probably not complain. The sand man left, he is the only surviving villain in the trilogy, and his survival may be taken care of in the first part. The robber who fell into the tall building symbolized the return of Peter's creed of "the greater the power, the greater the responsibility". The initial evaluation of "Spider-Man 3" was not very satisfactory. This is not surprising. Compared with the first one that made its debut, it is the second one that deepens the hero's life. The third one has better special effects and fighting. Design, but there are many details of the problem, this kind of problems piled up and destroyed a certain degree of integrity. But "Spider-Man 3" is still the top card in my personal mind for the finale of the Super British single-player film. It also detonates the problems buried in the previous work, and it is a rare work that has regained the original heart after the fall. Once this kind of design is not played well, it will make people feel very trivial, but with the director's excellent rhythm arrangement and Toby's wonderful performance, I believe no one will question the interpretation of the word "black" in this movie.
After coming out of the theater, my mother and I bought the DVD of "Spider-Man 3" at a small bridge vendor. It was obviously a pirated version, but for me it was still a childhood fun worth watching repeatedly on TV. After that, for a long time I didn’t pay attention to Super British movies anymore. When I was in the sixth grade of elementary school, "Iron Man" was popular, but I was not too interested. Until the end of the college entrance examination, I decided to go to media school. At that time, I just turned around and tutored dozens of super-British movies, including the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the X-Men series, and the Black Knight trilogy. I couldn’t help feeling that this genre has its own unique charm. Although in the future it is destined to fade out of the stage of history like countless themes that once swept the world, it is still worthy of my taste. I will feel sorry for him when I abandon it, but I will also enjoy it as much as possible while it exists.
