A nagging film review

Claude 2022-03-21 09:01:07

First of all, before watching The Amazing Spider-Man, some basic background is to be introduced-
this is a restart work, and it has nothing to do with the first three, and it is not just a 3D plug-in for the first one of the old version;
this one ; Return to more comic settings and plots. In the original work, Spider-Man didn’t know how to spin silk. Instead, he used the spider silk launcher made by the tech house. The original author also complained about his spinner setting in the comics—— "It's cool, but it's also disgusting." If you must entangle why he doesn't spin silk since he has spider genes, then I want to ask you why you don't entangle him without becoming eight legs?
The heroine is Gwen, not Mary Jane. These two are not just the difference in hair color. In the original book, Gwen is Peter’s first love. MJ only got the chance to take the position after Gwen died. If Gwen is not dead, MJ has nothing to do. ; And in the old version, MJ became first love, Gwen became soy sauce;
Uncle Ben died, this is not the stalk of the director and screenwriter copying the old version of the plot without thinking of a new plot, but "Uncle Ben’s death" It is one of the three bottom lines of the plot. In other words, no matter who shoots Little Spider again, the story of Uncle Ben’s death must be present; the
above is that I have watched a lot of "this is the first story of the old version" and "how MJ became blonde" After comments like "Why can't Spiderman spin silk", the basic introduction to Spiderman was uncomfortable.
As for those who have seen TDKR and came back to step on the bugs not deep enough, I want to say that Spider-Man is originally a popcorn movie, and his responsibility is to let you spend the two happily with the special effects, the laughter and the climax. Hours. You have to demand all superhero movies according to the depth of TDKR, and every villain according to the standards of the clown, I am afraid that all popcorn films will not be able to enter your eyes. It’s like watching a drama like the Big Bang. Don’t you just have fun? You have to see the profound philosophy of life or the reflection on social reality and human nature from it, otherwise you will say that this is a bad movie, and it’s really letting you. People feel speechless.

Let me talk about why I like this Spider-Man.
First of all, the personality of the little spider has finally come back. This is the little worm in the comics that is rampant. Toby's version of Peter Parker, in addition to the initial appearance of an otaku and also relatively poor, and Peter Parker in the original work are two people. Toby's version of Peter is also very classic, but the biggest shortcoming, or the most criticized by the comics, is probably that the characterization of Peter Parker is too hard, and he looks like a bitter and hatred all day long. This is what you Just leave it to the American team father to do it, but the bug relies on the personality of "poor is poor, I still have to complain" to dominate Marvel's most popular character for so many years...In fact, Garfield version of the bug Tucao is not as much as in the comics. After all, we have to consider the compactness of the plot, but at least it is reflected, especially in the battle against Dr. Lizard School, that "Shut up, then" and shoots at Dr. Lizard badly. The action on the face really makes people feel so kind...
Those who complain about Spider-Man who are not cocky but become poor and handsome, I want to say, Peter Parker is not a cock, you have seen all kinds of beautiful Did the girl stick the dick silk upside down? Peter is a nerd+ poor boy at best. And although people are poor, they have always been optimistic. Garfield's image, apart from being a bit too handsome for Peter Parker, basically restores Peter Parker's appearance;
some people complained that this version of the Spider-Man mask was taken off too many times and the identity was exposed too quickly. I remember taking off the mask in front of people. He only took the initiative to do it once, just to prevent the child from being afraid of him, and you can go back and count the number of times he took off the mask in the second part of the old edition. Not inferior to the extraordinary at all. And in the end, he actually took off the mask to Dr. Octopus... I was shocked when I saw it. I said that you are so confident that you can convince the boss with your face. Shake you out, didn’t you just smash it all...
As for the issue of identity, first of all, I don’t understand the practical effect of those superheroes holding their identity in their hands all day long as a treasure—after offending the people around me, I should know whether I should know or not. I still know all of them, saying that they want to protect people, and the people around them are still taken hostages, no less. It seems that the effect is only to put on a melancholy "I am a hero and I am not understood"? Of course, I’m not saying that I’m going to the street with a loudspeaker to call me XX, but I think it’s too difficult for you to hide from the people close to you. I go out and go around all day long and often come back. There is no one. It's hard to justify being suspicious. Moreover, this kind of stalk that has to be twisted and left to cause all kinds of misunderstandings is really enough. Anyway, you don't want to let people know in the end. It is better to know earlier, so as to save all kinds of misunderstandings and cannon fodder... …
As for those who have weakened the theme of "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility", I really want to ask you, is it possible that your so-called strengthening of the subject means that people must call out those eight words clearly. ? Not paying attention to how much effort the director and screenwriter have spent on language and behavior to deepen this theme in order not to repeat the lines? After Peter became capable, irresponsible behavior naturally led to Uncle Ben's words about responsibility and ability, as well as Uncle Ben's final message, which all reflect this theme.

And what impressed me in this version is the growth process of Spider-Man itself. From the beginning, when he had the ability, he would only take revenge on the flash. After the death of Uncle Ben, in order to make himself a little better, he went everywhere to catch similar criminals on the wanted order. In fact, it can be seen from here that he is far from being a "chia". To the point, just to use his abilities, the whole body is full of hostility and the pride of showing off skills. In fact, this is in line with Peter's identity as a high school student. If you want a 17-year-old child, after your uncle is killed, you do not retaliate, but first think that you should take greater responsibility to protect other people. It is really difficult. It wasn't until the kid was saved on the bridge that he appeared before the world as a "spiderman" for the first time, and from there, Peter gradually realized his responsibility. In the end, Peter struggled to rush to the Osman Building. When he fell from a height, he stared at the panicked crowd below, and then continued on his way. Here, he has completely completed the psychological journey needed to become a hero.

Next, let's talk about the heroine. Gwen is really amazing compared to Mary Jane! ! ! Although the appearance of the stone is not the type I admire, it is more pleasing to the eye than Dunster's pie face. But, we can’t just judge a character from the appearance. Even if Dunst and Stone are replaced, I still think that Gwen is really more concise than Mary~~ I really don’t understand the old version. What is so beautiful about the tangled love triangle, Mary Jane has to hook up with another man in each movie, and then throw him off. Sure enough, I still prefer this kind of small fresh pure love first love. First of all, Gwen is a standard Bai Fumei, and what is even more rare is that she is also excellent in character and learning, not a princess type role. Moreover, he takes the initiative to be brave and does not procrastinate on love. If he likes Peter, he will take the initiative to invite, instead of having to grind with other men while secretly giving Peter away. And the most difficult part of this heroine is that her role is not only the vase of the idiot hero, or the hostage waiting to be captured. This is the law that the heroine basically cannot escape in the superhero movie. Mary Jane has to be captured by the boss in each of the old three, and then she screams while waiting for Spider-Man to come and save the beauty. Not only that, but he didn't support Peter much in his life, and he kept adding to it. Gwen was much better. Not only was he not captured by the boss, he could also help Peter heal his injuries, or save Peter at a critical moment, and finally became a hero of the antidote. Many details reflect the girl’s wisdom and bravery. In a critical moment, I still think about evacuation of other people first, and use fire to activate the emergency evacuation system to slow down the actions of the lizardmen. Even if the lizardmen are found in the end, they are not patronizing the tip. Yelling, I know how to save myself... Many people are obsessed with the upside-down kiss in the first part of the old version. Can I say that I feel very embarrassed when I watch it? I just met Spider-Man kissing on both sides, this is too fraternal. And Mary Jane still interacted with Flash at the beginning. When she saw the new car that Flash bought, she immediately dropped Peter's eyes and ran over. I want to say whether the hostess, do you love money so obviously...I want to The biggest difference between Gentle and Mary Jane is that Mary Jane first liked Flash, Little Green Devils, Spider-Man, and then Peter Parker, and Gwen liked Peter from the beginning. After Mary Jane knew that Peter was Spider-Man, she still had all kinds of entanglements and entanglements. After Gwen knew that, she not only became a haven for Peter's healing, but also helped Spider-Man. At most, she was sad to bear the worry of losing her love every time. In the end, Peter deliberately stayed away from Gwen because he agreed to his father-in-law’s promise to leave Gwen. I thought that the tangled "because I am a hero" misunderstanding was about to open again.

Talk about Uncle Ben and Aunt May. This version of the old couple left me the deepest impression. They had a lot of the breath of ordinary life. They quarreled and made fun of Peter. There was a kind of tacit understanding between old couples and old wives, and when Uncle Ben died. One more regret. The old version of Aunt Ben Shumei is also very good, but it makes me think that the image of the two is too holy father and mother, and I feel that the most shots of the two of them are constantly talking about all kinds of principles to Peter. In this edition, the scenes between Aunt May and Peter made me feel full of affection and warmth. Aunt May worried about Peter. From being irresponsible at the beginning to buying eggs, I felt this way. The details of life can reflect the theme of family affection more than when a headache and crying.

Finally, let me talk about the character who I think is more brilliant than Uncle Ben-the sheriff. When I watched the trailer, I thought it was another image of a policeman with a lack of brains. I couldn't catch the bad guys all day, thinking about how to block Spider-Man. After reading it later, I found out that the sheriff is one of the few who understands. Although he wrongly blamed Spider-Man and underestimated the Lizardman, his dialogue with Peter at the dinner table was really enlightening. Peter said that he was trying to save people, but the sheriff pointedly said that Spider-Man was just venting his personal hatred, because the people he caught had the same characteristics. Here is also a head-on to Peter, because at this time Peter is indeed only taking revenge, even though he thinks he is doing good deeds. This also paved the way for Peter's next transformation. Although the sheriff ridiculed Peter saying that the doctor was a lizardman, he sent Peter away and asked his men to investigate Connors. Finally, the sheriff learned about Spider-Man’s identity and turned to help Peter. The phrase "he is not alone" makes people think that the sheriff is actually very loving...

In short, the old version of Spider-Man is also a wonderful memory of my childhood. But the new version of Spider-Man is more in line with the image of a little spider full of personality and charm that I like in my heart. Although the new version of the movie is not all good, such as the rhythm of the movie, it often gives me a sense of confusion, but it is undeniable that this is still a qualified little spider movie, as a restart work that is not favored. Lived under pressure. So, continue to look forward to how the next two parts of the new version will make me feel.
