The road to growth is bound to be accompanied by sacrifice

"When you have super powers, what do you want to do?"

You may often encounter such questions on the Internet, and the comment area is also full of imagination. Some people say innocently and romantically that they want to be a superhero and use their abilities to help others; others say "shamelessly" that they want to become a heinous demon. There is no standard answer to this kind of sporadic thinking question. It is not bound by morals and laws, and is beyond reality. And the birth of the first "Spider-Man" was like a blow to someone who answered "want to be a superhero" with a hammer - humans always underestimated their own inferiority.

This movie does not talk about a grand world view, but only tells the mental journey of an ordinary person to a superhero. The core of "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility" runs through the entire movie.

Peter Parker, an ordinary person (student tyrant) of all living beings, after realizing that he has undergone obvious changes, his first consideration is not what he can do for the society, but to satisfy his own desires: go to an underground boxing match Make money only to get your beloved woman in the car.

When the robber ran away in front of him with the money, he was able to capture it easily, but he chose to ignore it because the person in charge gave him less than 2,900 yuan. To Parker, this was just a "small punishment" and the price the person in charge should have; this At that time, he had already taken the first step toward the abyss. He was completely unaware of the weight that this superpower should bear. The result was obvious that his actions indirectly killed his uncle.

In the carriage, Uncle and Parker had a sentence in my heart: "Your changes in the past few years will determine what kind of person you will be in the future. Be careful to go astray." This sentence sums it up very well, what Parker will do with superpowers, what kind of person he will become. Is it hiding in the city to fight crime and becoming a hero; or to satisfy one's selfish desires and abuse, and finally sink into violence and greed.

Uncle's death is inevitable. It is a victim of Parker's growth. It is capable but ignores the consequences of crime. This weight is enough to make Parker re-examine himself and what superpowers can do.

Imagine if you have this super power, can you confidently say that you want to make a contribution and become a superhero? Even when the whole society misunderstands and distorts the facts, will they not be swallowed up by maliciousness? I dare not speak lightly, because I will definitely become a slave to violence and power; and Parker can only return to the path of reformation, all because of the death of his uncle and the eight characters of "the greater the power, the greater the responsibility";

This is his shackles, the bottom line and trump card for not compromising with "evil", and will accompany him throughout his life.

Spider-Man quotes

  • Green Goblin: [lands in front of Spider-Man on a rooftop] Wake up little spider, no you're not dead yet just paralysed. You're an amazing creature, Spider-Man. You and I are not so different.

    Spider-Man: I'm not like you. You're a murderer.

    Green Goblin: Well, to each his own. I chose my path, you chose the way of the hero. And they found you amusing for a while, the people of this city. But the one thing they love more than a hero is to see a hero fail, fall, die trying. In spite of everything you've done for them, eventually they will hate you. Why bother?

    Spider-Man: Because it's right.

    Green Goblin: [slaps Spider-Man on the head] Here's the real truth. There are eight million people in this city. And those teeming masses exist for the sole purpose of lifting the few exceptional people onto their shoulders. You, me? We're exceptional.

    [leans in and grabs Spider-Man's neck]

    Green Goblin: I could squash you like a bug right now, but I'm offering you a choice. Join me! Imagine what we could accomplish together... what we could create. Or we could destroy! Cause the deaths of countless innocents in selfish battle again and again and again until we're both dead! Is that what you want?
