We are always willing to criticize Hollywood hero movies. We never give ridicule and ridicule to lone heroes such as Rambo and Bond. But looking back at yourself, you will find that we do not make heroes, we make gods! From Lord Guan who became a god from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms to Huo Yuanjia, a representative of the modern spirit of Jingwu, our film and television works have shaped countless figures who are almost gods. Impeccable, with a high profile, they are more like people living in legends. ——Although Fearless, starring Jet Li, had the arrogance and arrogance that ordinary people would commit at the beginning, but later the director let him get a profound change from the family tragedy and become a man of great benevolence and righteousness.
In contrast, Peter, Spider-Man, who hops between high-rise buildings and fights crime and defends justice, appears real and kind. Because in Pete, we can see a young man's cowardice, hesitation, swelling, contradictions, and arrogance.
In the Spider-Man series, the director's efforts to narrow the distance between Spider-Man and portray Pete's "little man" side are very obvious and very successful. In the first episode, Pete, who suddenly possesses great power, is at a loss, wondering what to do and wondering what to do; in the second episode, in the face of increasing responsibility, Pete evades the cowardice and retreat of responsibility; in the third episode, in the more powerful In the face of power and uproarious flattery, Pete's self-inflation and arrogance are normal reactions of ordinary people when facing power, responsibility, and fame. Because of the contradictions and struggles Pitt showed in the face of these troubles, the image of Spider-Man became cordial and true. In the second episode, when Pete showed his true face after being injured on the train, the citizens marveled at the ordinaryness of Spider-Man. This is exactly what the director wants to tell the audience: the hero is not a god, he is by our side.
It is precisely because the film depicts the contradictory side of the protagonist with big pen and ink, and highlights the ordinary and real little man of the big hero, that did not let the Spider-Man series fall into the stereotype of first-rate stunts and third-rate stories. But in the third episode, it is precisely because of the director's oversimplification of the characters' inner contradictions and struggles, and the lack of detailed descriptions, that this movie with both special effects and fights cannot surpass the first two episodes.
Using Hitler’s hairstyle and walking on rock and roll drums to show Pete’s arrogance, arrogance, decadence and frustration after putting on the black suit, it seemed so simple and rude; after taking off the black suit, he immediately regained his humility and self-confidence and seemed too abrupt; male After the explosion on the 2nd, Harry’s face was burned by half, and the plot jumped too casually; the housekeeper only told the truth about the death of the master at the last moment, and acting on Harry’s transformation seemed too blunt... Maybe the director felt that the film was not full enough. At the end of the film, Pete is arranged to make a monologue about the choice to summarize the theme of the film. When a film needs to use lines to summarize the central idea, you can know how lack of "central idea" the film is.
Compared with the previous two episodes, Pete faced much stronger enemies. Perhaps it was precisely because the director arranged too many enemies to be defeated that Pete didn't have much time to face his inner conflicts.
Because the excitement of the first two episodes accumulated more expectations, I entered the theater with a more demanding vision and picked a few thorns on it. In all fairness, the third episode is still very beautiful, more dazzling stunts, more ambitious fighting scenes, seemingly lame but still working hard to portray the characters, all demonstrate the sincerity of the director, with this sincerity, it is worth queuing into the theater. The global box office has repeatedly broken records.
Movie Watching Notes: Guangzhou Yigong Rongquan is a hall (757 seats), and the attendance rate on the afternoon of the 2nd is as high as 80%! In other words, except for the first few rows, they are basically full. This is quite a terrifying attendance rate, and the charm of Spider-Man is evident. Of course, a large part of them are still students, the same as before.
What's more commendable is that in such a big hall, with so many people, in the whole movie for more than two hours, I didn't hear a mobile phone ringtone! There were a few people around who were whispering on the phone, but they all hurriedly explained that they hung up while watching a movie. I can't help but compare the Shenzhen theater again. It seems that I haven't been harassed by the ringing of the phone in the Shenzhen theater, and watched a movie quietly. Alas, quality, quality.
