In many public events, the spearhead of public opinion tends to be directed at those "indifferent spectators", accusing them of not coming forward and stopping disputes in time when the crisis happened.
How hard is it to come forward?
I'm afraid Eddie, the actor in the movie "Venom", can give the answer. As an investigative reporter, he has been in dangerous situations several times, contending with the wicked, and "migrating" from New York to San Francisco. He knows how to resist pressure with an iron shoulder that bears morals and justice, and uses his essay's clever hand to use his pen as a battle.
But when investigating Drake, the owner of the Life Foundation, he finally knew his powerlessness. Not only was dismissed by the news agency, but it also caused the fiancee to lose her job. When he was at his worst, he came to a store and wanted to buy some bread and wine to satisfy his hunger. At this moment, a gunman walked into the store and aimed at the Chinese female store manager for looting property. Eddie happened to hide behind the store shelf, witnessing what was happening before him.
He did not come forward.
After the gangster left, he went to check out in embarrassment. Once he was a fearless reporter who dared to make a decision with the editor-in-chief, but now he could only put beer, bread, and change on the counter one by one, as if nothing happened. The female store manager sighed with emotion, "Life is just like this." Contacting the protagonist's current situation is both sad and helpless.
When we hide behind the screen and accuse the passengers in the bus of indifference, or sit in front of the screen and laugh at Eddie’s cowardice, it’s all because of the courage and entanglement we need to pay when we don’t know how to come forward. I don't know what it hurts.
So it's not that venom needs humans, but humans also need venom . When we see acquainted vagrant women trapped in a glass room calling for help, when we hear that innocent vagabonds are sent to do human experiments, when we need to protect our loved ones from being bullied, when we want to shake off evil with the power of ephemera Big tree, we need superpowers, we need venom.
Nietzsche has a classic motto-if you fight the dragon for too long, you will become a dragon; if you stare at the abyss for too long, you will stare back at the abyss. It means that when you understand the dark side of a thing too much, understand its internal motivation, understand its behavior pattern, and understand the convenience it brings, it is difficult not to be assimilated by it. In the same way, when you are too immersed in a certain bad mood or experience, it is extremely difficult to get rid of the negative entanglement.
The difference between Venom and other superheroes lies in its parasitic and host relationship with humans. Venom survives by relying on humans, and humans gain superpowers through venom. This is like a fight between a knight and an evil dragon, which is shown in many movies. For example, in "Fools", his wife and husband Mu Cong played a Japanese journalist who investigates evil but became evil; in "The Summit", Ricardo Darling played the Argentine president who stared into the abyss but was swallowed by the abyss.
The setting of the "boarding" of the symbiote in "Venom" is just like the process of wrestling with the dragon and gazing into the abyss. Eddie knows too much about the convenience brought by superpowers. With a flick of a bullet, flying up skyscrapers can impress everyone and win the hearts of his girlfriend. At the same time, he was also trying his best to resist the desire for venom in his body-the desire to swallow living things.
Once, with a pen, unable to pry the evil consortium, with a praying man arm can not stop the chasing chariot. Relying on the venom, he possessed unimaginable superpowers. Because it got into the brain, the venom cherished him, and was even "inspired" to prevent evil events from happening, jointly defend the earth, and form a wonderful covenant. So it seems that all super powers come from venom, but in fact Eddie also has a super power- fighting with the dragon to subdue the dragon, staring into the abyss without falling into the abyss .
Marvel has taken the world by storm for ten years. We are deeply influenced by the superhero universe, but are we only obsessed with the escalating fluid special effects? Are we only yearning for the super powers of the super heroes?
In addition to these, what I am more obsessed with is that Marvel seems to have given the superheroes a little bit of "divineness" and added a little bit of "humanity" .
Iron Man’s entanglement in the face of conflicting opinions, Captain America’s helplessness in the face of his roommates, Thor’s hesitation in the face of brothers’ wall, the Black Widow’s choices when facing her love, and the unjudgeable Soko in "The Avengers" The Via Agreement can be projected into the real world.
The plot that touched me the most in "Spider-Man: Return of Heroes" is the classmates of the little spider leaning on the skylight overlooking the rebellious night. He is about to set out to fight and play the role of a warrior who saves the world. But at that moment, would he also want to put on swimming trunks instead of battle suits, take the elevator to the top of the monument instead of climbing on the cobwebs to save people, dance with the girl instead of hunting down her father? The plot that touched me the most in "Venom" was that Eddie got rid of the venom boarding at the top of the spaceship. He stretched out his hand as he watched the more powerful "riot" about to swallow the venom. This is a choice after enlightenment, a kind of human rescue and self-help.
Some people may condemn the story of "Venom" for being too simplistic. In fact, the villain Drake's remarks on the so-called human volunteers are quite meaningful. He quoted the "Old Testament" story in which Abraham presented his only son Isaac as a burnt offering to God as a lamb. Compare yourself to Abraham, saying that what you made was the hardest choice. In the French film "Son of Joseph", there is a picture of Caravaggio in the boy's room, which also tells the story. Drake claimed to be like God in order to save the common people. This kind of demeanor, disguised as a purpose of justice, is thought-provoking.
I have always had an opinion. Now we go to the theater to watch the Marvel series of movies, just like pursuing the wizarding world of Harry Potter more than ten years ago and exploring the mystery of the universe of Star Wars half a century ago. When we follow the superheroes and the Milky Way pedigree created by Marvel, we are actually witnessing a history, a history that brings together technology, culture, art, and even ideas. When future generations look back at 2018, they may not remember the superhero Venom, but when they look back at this era, they will definitely think of Marvel and the superhero universe, and think of its small but interesting influence on history.
And Venom, like a comet, and unique stars like Iron Man, Captain America, Spider-Man, etc., constitute the shining galaxy in this universe.
You and me, are witnessing and being in this dream universe, happy without knowing how beautiful it is.
