This article was written in January 2008. It's a summary of Spider-Man 3.


【Memories】

Because I heard a clip of "Spider-Man 1" in Crazy English, "Who am I? You sure you wanna know?" actually aroused my great interest and wanted to re-watch "Spider-Man 1" ". In fact, I have seen both "Spider-Man 1" and "Spider-Man 2". I don't know what happened. It seems that this ordinary character can't reach the level of love for CK. I always feel that Spider-Man is a bit short of heroic. In my original impression, the character that left the deepest impression on me in "Spider-Man 1" was the Green Goblin, played by Willem Dafoe, but at that time, I couldn't call the person who looked very evil in the film. Name (someone: Dafoe's jaw is the most evil!).

When I opened the film, the subtitles at the beginning of the film surprised me. The composer of the Spider-Man series was actually Danny Elfman! Tim Burton's royal soundtrack. No wonder the music in the film is always familiar. Toby in 2002 is obviously much thinner than now. I don't know if the screen in the movie theater is too big. When I watched "Spider-Man 3" in the theater, I felt that Toby was fat, and Dunst had a big face. Almost filled the screen, in 2002 "Spider-Man 1", the red-haired Dunst still looked like a high school girl, but compared to her wonderful performance in "Interview with the Vampire", MJ in this film Obviously not as impressive as Claudia. On the contrary, Harry's appearance made people feel bright. Indeed, the two films I watched in theaters this year (it should have been last year, 2007) were actually starring James Franco, "Heart of the King" (formerly called "Tristan and Iraq"). Soder"), Tristan, who had an affair with the princess, didn't think it was very handsome, but showed a melancholy feeling that was not in this era, but it fit the plot quite well, and Isolde's role er, I just saw what movie she was in yesterday, it's the whore Depp likes in "From Hell"! ! Because the appearance is too ordinary, and I have a feeling of keeping a distance from "From Hell", I don't remember this person. This British woman played a pair of hard-fought mandarin ducks with James in "The Heart of the King", and the ending seems to be that Tristan is dead? ? (Khan, I don't remember very clearly)

The second time was "Spider-Man 3". Harry was better-looking than Peter, but Harry was not as friendly as Peter. I didn't expect Harry to become the second generation of the Green Goblin, and he was disfigured in the film. Director It's still relatively great. It's not easy to change people's impressions of bad people, but Harry's character is indeed more complicated. He was originally a rich boy, and he has always lived in the shadow of his scientist father, although his relationship with his father is not that good. , but the rich family style in his bones made him very self-willed, so he decided that Spider-Man was his father-killing enemy. When he knew that Peter was Spider-Man, he lost MJ again, and Harry's world changed, and hatred took over His heart, followed by the use of indiscriminate means - close to the enemy's woman MJ. Harry's disfigurement also seems to indicate that he will develop in a positive direction. At the end of the film, Harry finally leaves in a great way, but it makes people feel a little lost. Harry is gone, what will happen in "Spider-Man 4" Where are the highlights? On the other hand, Harry Osborn in "Spider-Man 1" first appeared in a Rolls-Royce car with his father. He was as simple and clean as an American high school student, but depression still accompanied him from time to time. It seems that This is the temperament of James himself. Peter with glasses and Harry with a backpack, two people of different classes are such good friends, if it weren't for the spider, Harry might be happy with MJ, and Peter, still the ordinary boy next door.

A hero also needs to learn how to be a hero. When he has superpowers, it becomes a problem to choose what kind of person to become. Fortunately, Peter chose to be a hero, a "Spiderman", not a "humanoid spider" (this It was the name Peter gave himself at first), and in answer to that sentence, it was a gift and a curse.

【Actors】

The "Spider-Man" series started in 2002, and there are 3 films so far. I heard that there will be a fourth film. Hollywood's rule seems to be "no more than three things". Generally speaking, people are very disappointed by the third film. . The news I have heard so far is that it is indeed possible to make a fourth film after the strike of the screenwriters in the United States, but the starring will be replaced. This has been disappointing, and I heard that the director likes James Franco very much, and it is very likely that he will play him again, but who is not sure. However, these current actors, from the obscurity of "Spider-Man 1" to "Spider-Man 3" have become international big names, it is not easy to film together again.

The male lead, Tobey Maguire, never remembers what role he played, but luckily he met the director's requirements for Spider-Man: ordinary, not tall. It will be difficult for Tobey to escape the role of Spider-Man in the future, and Tobey's own conditions are not outstanding. He, who is Spider-Man in the film, seems to be fulfilling that sentence, a gift and a curse. In the future Tobey, it is estimated that there will always be a shadow of Peter on his body.

MJ in the film said to Peter: You are taller than you look. Yes, under the big screen of the theater, Toby is indeed short in stature. The strange thing is, why didn't I think he was so short at first? A classmate kept reminding him that he is really short! Compared with the tall Harry, Tobey looks like a hobbit, haha, maybe not so exaggerated, but it is not so comfortable to match with Dunst.

Peter's dancing in "Spider-Man 3" is also the highlight of the film, right? At least it made everyone laugh. Maybe this is the difference between Spider-Man and Superman and Batman. Peter is just an ordinary person with all kinds of small problems, and even likes to show off occasionally.

Actress Kirsten Dunst, a girl who played with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt at a very young age, but she lost her childhood spirituality when she grew up and could not be reproduced in "Vampires at Night" Thirty-year-old woman's eyes, although Hollywood critics still praise Dunst, the unavoidable fact is that, among Hollywood actresses of this age, Dunst has little advantage. Especially the strong return of Natalie Portman (Matilda in This Killer), plus the UK's Keira Knightley (Elizabeth in Pirates of the Caribbean), and even the US Jessica Alba (the invisible woman in "Fantastic Four"), who is currently very popular, if Dunst doesn't change the way of acting, he can only be a vase like MJ. I actually don't like MJ very much. She has been hesitating between Harry and Peter, and she is not very arrogant. In fact, she is also quite unlucky. Every time the opponent wants to torture Spider-Man, he must torture MJ first. In fact, Dunst's blonde hair is very good originally, the director insisted that MJ have red hair, which makes MJ look weird.

Let’s talk about Old Dafoe first. Although this man has a naturally evil face, and even though the chin makes his face look a little out of proportion, Old Dafoe’s lines are absolutely first-rate. The characters always fit perfectly, and like Anthony Hopkins, Dafoe's voice has fascinated many people. (I only know one, maybe because there are too few people paying attention to him.) Dafoe, the green goblin with dual characters, is effortless to interpret, the good side and the evil side are both real and believable. I am more moved by how he treats Harry The words: I am proud of you, I should not neglect you, I will make up for you. Aside from his identity as the Green Goblin, the father's love was really deep, and at the moment of death, he said to Peter, don't tell Harry. Although he didn't say it, he loved Harry so deeply in his heart and didn't want him to suffer a little grievance. This was his father. It's a pity that his son became the second generation of the Green Goblin, and his appearance is much more handsome than Dafoe (I think the director deliberately did not let James wear a mask to show his face), and his spirit is still a little confused.

Speaking of James Franco, I don't remember Harry from Spider-Man 1, but his disfigurement and death in Spider-Man 3 made Harry eternal. The changeable Harry was rebellious when facing his father, but he did not hesitate to defend him when he heard others speak ill of his father. As Spider-Man's best buddy, Harry's image is relatively successful. James Franco was supposed to play Peter when he auditioned, but the director thought he was too handsome and felt that he was more suitable to play the rich boy Harry, so he became Harry. I think it's James' natural melancholy that doesn't suit Peter. When it comes to the name James, one I often hear is James Dean (James Dean). It is said that James Dean is the ancestor of the bad boy in Hollywood. From him, there is a generation of rebellious and maverick actors. , and then created a group of "bad boys" including my favorite Depp. James Dean lived to be only 24 years old, made only 3 films in his life, and disappeared with his Porsche in a car accident that killed him. But after his death, his style took off. A few years ago, a TV station in the United States also made a film called "James Dean", and won many awards including best actor, and the starring is this James Franco. When I searched for pictures of James Dean, I was almost shocked, because James Franco looks so much like James Dean, he has a face exactly like James Dean, the difference is that James Franco Still too melancholy and gentlemanly, not as unruly as James Dean. Fate? One James is shaping another James on screen, and acting as two has become one. But James Franco looks really good in uniform. He has acted in both the Air Force and the Navy. It would be better if he doesn't smile. When he laughs, there are more wrinkles. James Franco doesn't have a bright smile. Calm down, in fact, it's better not to play Spider-Man, it's fixed, but it can't be turned over.

Although there are already three Spider-Man films, the actors have not changed much. The essential characters, including Aunt May and the newspaper boss, have brought us a lot of emotion and laughter. The poisonous spider in "Spider-Man 3" can also be regarded as a half-familiar face in Hollywood. Unfortunately, Harry is too stealthy in "3". Who asked the director to arrange for him to die in the end! The other characters were naturally not impressed.

[Summary]

According to the story of the comics, Spider-Man has many enemies. I remember the cartoon called "Spider-Man" that I watched when I was a child. There are many episodes. It's impossible to shoot it season by season like a TV show. Up to now, Spider-Man's enemies have appeared Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Green Goblin II, Sandman and Venom. Although Spider-Man finally defeated them, the price paid was painful. Losing Harry, a close friend, became more and more serious. The American hero complex has spawned a large number of heroes such as Superman, Batman, Spiderman, and the Justice League. I always feel that there are still some Chinese characters for "hero" and "Hero" in English. The difference is cultural. There is an inseparable relationship between Chinese heroes and chivalry, and chivalry is a unique part of Chinese culture. It is a vocabulary that foreigners cannot understand its true connotation, but the essence is the same. Hero and Hero both have the spirit of Lei Feng. .

Whether it is natural power or acquired energy, the story of Spider-Man has always emphasized a sentence: the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Or education first, tell us: Since we are individuals, we must be responsible for our own behavior.

At the end of the "Spider-Man 1" clip is the opening sentence "Who am I? I'm spiderman!"

  • 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!
