Three times before the "Avengers: Endgame", I accidentally opened "Captain America 2" as a pastime with food. The US team met the Falcons for the first time when they were running. When the US team ran over the Falcons several times, they would always say "on your left". In the cinema the next day, I found the first line of Falcon’s "Resurrection", which was to the US team, "on your left". The details of this echo before and after are all over the Marvel movies, and the audience has to be gratified for the film's intentions. In my opinion, "Spider-Man: Far From Home" is also a work with a lot of thoughts, and there are many deep meanings worth digging.
After the "endgame", where will the Marvel universe go, will the heroes welcome new partners, and what new crisis will the earth face? Many people are guessing. As the first installment after "Avengers 4", "Spider-Man: Far From Home" obviously bears the responsibility of inheriting the past and the future. Although this movie focuses on Parker's personal growth, it will actually affect the layout and tone of the Marvel Universe. Therefore, although this movie is based on the theme of "Heroes Expedition", packaged with relaxed humor, flavored with youthful romance, and with brilliant visual effects as the breaking point, in fact, the core of the movie explores many profound philosophical propositions.
"Farewell and Acceptance"
From 2008 "Iron Man" to 2019 "Spider-Man: Far From Home", 11 years, 23 movies, it brings us moving, but also companionship. Eleven years is enough for you to go from being ignorant to a young man to a mature uncle; eleven years are enough for you to go from a dumb boy to being a father; eleven years are enough for you to understand responsibility, friendship, and love-"I love you three thousand times ", you will certainly not forget. The moving part of the Marvel Universe lies not only in the struggle between justice and evil, but also in accompany us to grow together. The characters are growing, the audience is growing, and Parker in "Spider-Man: Far From Home" is also growing. The dilemma of heroic characters, the entanglement and loss of heroic characters, all have our own shadow in essence. Rooted in the flow of time, Spider-Man from "Homecoming" to "Far From Home", back and forth, echoing back and forth, is a necessary journey for Peter Parker and a necessary journey for all superheroes.
As the only "minor" in the hero team, Peter Parker is the closest superhero to us. Thor is from outside the world, the US team is too serious, and Iron Man is too rich-Spider-Man is more like a friend around us than them-even juniors, even his own position as a "good neighbor Spider-Man". From the initial novelty and resistance to superpowers, to being recruited by Iron Man into another dimension of battle, what he needed was not only the identity switch between "Peter Parker" and "Spiderman", but also the crossing of "daily" and "non-existence". The "daily" gap.
Among all superheroes, he is almost the "most transparent". The Black Widow’s entanglement with Hulk and Hawkeye does not belong to him, nor does the old grudge between the US team, the Winter Soldiers, and Iron Man belong to him. The biggest connection between him and the reunion is his “father and son” with Stark. Affection". In "Avengers 3", he hugged Iron Man and said "I don't want go"; when Iron Man died in "Avengers 4", the heartbreak he revealed was an unexplained "father-son relationship". Therefore, as a continuation and inheritance, this Spider-Man is bound to explain this "father-son relationship" again.
After the war, Peter Parker went back to school. At the beginning of the movie, Whitney Houston’s sounded in the cinema. Photos of Iron Man, Beauty Team, Black Widow, and Vision gradually appeared on the screen. I don’t know how many people would cry for it. The departure of these superheroes will obviously leave a great shadow on Spider-Man's psychology, especially Iron Man. The lack or change of the role of the father has a great impact on the growth of the boy. From his biological father to Uncle Ben to Iron Man, Spider-Man has experienced this kind of change three times. Losing a father may make people grow up overnight, and it may also make people question everything. Therefore, he would refuse to answer Ferry's call, would "resist" the call of duty, and would like to be a "normal" student, go to the Eiffel Tower to confess to the girl he likes-with shame and low self-esteem.
But he couldn't be an ordinary person, and Iron Man left Edith to him. I don't want to worry about whether "Spider-Man" is the next "Iron Man". It is the most normal thing to leave the legacy to children. I even think that in Iron Man's selfish mind, he hopes Edith will protect Peter, not take him to take greater risks. "Becoming a father" is a lifetime struggle for many men, and "not letting children become themselves" is also a lifetime wish of many fathers. The result depends on the fateful arrangement.
Many people hope that Spider-Man will take on the heavy burden. But Spider-Man's lack of self-confidence in himself will inevitably lead to resistance to this responsibility. "If I can be stronger, Stark may not sacrifice." This kind of self-blame and entanglement will help him build his own growth process, and it is also a must for him to face Iron Man's departure.
"True and False and Growth"
The whole story of "Spider-Man: Far From Home" is based on the opposition and transformation of "true and false". "True heroes" and "fake heroes", "true threats" and "false dilemmas", deception and conspiracy, "what you see" and "what you can't see", all kinds of reversals stimulate the entire viewing process.
Inexplicable monsters have appeared all over the world, and "justice messengers and mysterious guests" have followed their tracks to help justice. At this time, in a period of self-doubt when Spider-Man feels he cannot take responsibility, is it lucky to have a trusted partner? Just like the teammates of the previous reunion, they both fought each other and helped each other. Are people who have been beaten together and injured together are worthy of trust?
If Spider-Man is the most down-to-earth superhero, then the topic this movie tries to discuss is also the most down-to-earth. It's not alien visitors destroying the earth, or politicians colluding with power conspiracy, but the "weird status quo" that happens every day around us. Nowadays, the Internet is developed, and the human cerebral cortex is stimulated by countless information. News brainwashing, video bombing, we laughed, angered, and sympathized at the screen, we judged morals, waved our flags, and did not discern the authenticity. The boundary between truth and falsehood is getting blurred, and the identification of truth and rumors is getting more and more difficult. We will only believe what we are willing to believe, and we will say that the true truths are all rumors. We believe in lies, we deceive ourselves. When the mystery said he came from Universe 813, Spider-Man believed without hesitation. Spiderman is also one of us.
Therefore, as the villain in this movie, the "mystery guest" is not an oracle, but an allegory to every one of us in the Internet age. When you think about it, isn't it another illusion that the "mystery guest" pursues power and fame by using illusions? For each of us sitting in the movie theater, the projection on the screen is another kind of phantom away from reality compared to our real life? In "Game of Thrones", Varys once said that "the real power exists in the human heart"; in the same way, "the real evil also exists in the human heart." Those deceit, lies, and deception have the power to hurt people because we believe it. So, stripping off the coat of superheroes and youthful love, this movie will arouse my thoughts and doubts about people's hearts. In today's network environment, not blindly trusting is a compulsory course for everyone. In the face of true and false, Spider-Man also needs to learn to recognize. This is another cornerstone of his personal growth. Even the two easter eggs at the end of the credits echo the theme of "true and false", which is very interesting.
Like all Marvel movies, this movie is full of American humor, giving people a relaxing and pleasant viewing experience outside of the intense fighting scenes. The familiar faces interspersed to ensure the consistency and overall sense of the Marvel series of movies; no wonder "Spider-Man: Far From Home" Rotten Tomatoes started with a perfect score, and even some film critics said it was "the best Spider-Man movie in history." Up.
