The words "Heroes Expedition" may seem grand, but if you think about it carefully, the heroes who have always been on expeditions have a sense of loneliness and a sense of mission. For example, Tang Xuanzang traveled west to study scriptures, the Crusades, Confucius led 72 disciples to study abroad, etc., it was a kind of last resort, leaving a familiar place and embarking on a distant and unknown journey to accomplish a goal. There is often a kind of coercion in this miserable and compelled feeling. And we see that this time Spider-Man's so-called expedition in other countries is also resistant.
Let's talk about the little spider first. He gives the impression that he is a simple high school student in the United States. His life is 3,000 blocks away from those superheroes with tragic backgrounds. Spider-Man's positioning is a superhero next door, which means: I don't have so many grand ambitions. I can help people when things go wrong. I will try my best to deal with one-third of an acre and not cause trouble to everyone. That's it. Others, I go to school normally, make friends, busy with exams, be a serious high school student, and enjoy the little sweet and little troubles of youth. Such a youthful little spider is the original him!
But in this movie, because of the death of Iron Man, and he left his mantle to the little spider, it seems that all of a sudden, the heavy responsibility is on his shoulders. As if the parent dies, the child must immediately shoulder the responsibility of the family. Even the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. began forcing an underage child to charge. Is this really good?
Chief SHIELD, you are poisonous!
What I disliked the most in the film was the character of Director S.H.I.E.L.D. As a leader, can you assign tasks to your subordinates at will? Let's not talk about whether Little Spider has joined S.H.I.E.L.D., whether he has signed a contract with this organization, whether there is any remuneration and benefits written in the contract, whether there are five insurances and one housing fund, workers' compensation and so on. If any part of the world is affected by disaster, you, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., can’t handle it, so you can ask superheroes for help. I admit it, after all, you are not capable. But you are not competent enough, can you not be high above and say why don't you answer my phone with a tough attitude. Nonsense, people know that "overtime" will be life-threatening, and there will be no promotion without subsidies. Which "employee" will greet you with a smile?
After being refused to answer the phone, the director actually came to the door for an interview with a gun... Well, you are awesome! The little spider clearly stated at the combat headquarters that he is a "superhero next door" and wants to have his own way of life. The director smiled and agreed, and then the method he took was: kidnap all his classmates and put the people you care about in danger. I see whether you save it or not. What's the difference between this and a terrorist?
There is also the most speechless trick is to stand on the moral high ground to criticize the choice of others: if you don’t save the world today, little spider, you will see death and you will have no conscience. Are you worthy of the dead Iron Man? Think about what your responsibilities are, what you should do, and think about it!
WTF!
When such personal interests and collective interests conflict, you tell me this? Although Little Spider is a superhero, his ability is one thing, his life experience is another, and his psychological growth is another! You put so much psychological pressure on a minor, what do you think he will do? Do you want him to be the "catcher"? Of course, his first reaction was "throwing the pot"! Therefore, the first pusher for the little spider to authorize the glasses to Mysterio is the Director of SHIELD.
When the time is tight and facing such strong psychological and realistic pressure, the little spider wants his own life, but the director of SHIELD said, no, you have the ability, other people are not free, then you have to go, don't forget you And Iron Man's mysterious weapon.
Well, do you mean that with great power comes great responsibility? Then I will give up some of my abilities, so you don't need to find me in the future. So the little spider believed in the mysterious guest who had just known each other for 2 days, and authorized him the weapon. (The premise is that he thinks that the people trusted by Director S.H.I.E.L.D. must be good people, so the director's gullibility of Mysterio comes first, which is also the premise of causing so many problems.) Faced with huge pressure, he has no time to deal with it, so he has a feeling of escaping. For a teenager, it's very reasonable.
The closeness of the relationship determines the degree of our care
The Spider-Man next door cares about the people around him and the things around him. He cares about this community, this campus, this city to which he is inextricably linked. On the contrary, the particularly grand life and death on that side of the earth did not seem to particularly touch his heart. I think this is very reasonable. As long as it's human, you and I are the same.
It is said that humans are social animals, and our bond is relationship. This relationship determines our intimacy, care level, and tension level. To put it more plainly: We invest more, emotionally and attentive, with people who are in a good relationship, with a higher level of intimacy.
And the kind of superheroes who "need" to save the world to fill themselves because their homes are broken, I would feel that their lives are actually a mess, and they are not fully enjoying their own happiness. It is a kind of tragedy. And if he continues to push the little spider in the direction of saving the world, and puts the people around him at the most dangerous edge every time, he will undoubtedly face ruin. Many superheroes have become like this because of their life experience, but they can't make a sad person in order to save the world and then let him save the world without his own life!
Therefore, it is not realistic for superheroes to save people all over the world. The people we see who can save people from anywhere in the world as their own relatives are saints, gods, and people who have escaped the inferior Interesting noble man. But such people are really phoenix water chestnut. We ordinary people care about the people around us. Therefore, the targets of Little Spider's rescue, from beginning to end, are also classmates around him. They are nervous because they care, and they go all out because they are afraid of losing.
The little spider with such ordinary people's emotions, on the contrary, resonates with us the most. We like him also because he doesn't have that kind of lofty feeling, and he doesn't have a realm of too fraternity. We love him because of his ordinaryness and authenticity. In his ordinaryness, there is a common human emotion that we are familiar with.
Mysterio is the film industry itself
This time the "villain" is played by Gyllenhaal. Leaving aside him personally, what interests me is that the setting is great: not a superpower, not an alien visitor, or even an objective existence. entity, but with the help of the "reality" recognized in people's minds.
The era of "there are pictures and the truth" has long since become unreliable with PS and various borrowed shooting and angle framing. Many people can distinguish between true and false photos at a glance. But our trust in the eyes is still very high, as long as it is true, it can be false. Just like the current film industry, from 2D to 3D, from film to 120 frames, from digital to laser, the purpose of all visual presentations is to make you feel real and enter the plot, at least in these 120 minutes, you believe this of the world and immersed in it.
This time, Mystery Guest operates like this: with higher-tech equipment, the use of team strength, a technical director, a script coordinator, a modeling design, a prop engineer and lighting engineer, etc., to create a scene after another. A big drama that can immerse real people in the city. Isn't that sense of presence, impact, and realism what the current film industry wants to show us? If you think about it, will it be interesting?
In the future, everything you see and touch will seem to have fake ingredients, but as long as your brain is deceived, your eyes are deceived, and your sense of smell, touch and all other senses are deceived, then it will be considered by you as a fake. real. This villain seems to be reminding us that in the future, with the blessing of technology, it is really easy to deceive humans. As for how to distinguish and how to separate, I think the evolutionary function of human beings is so powerful that they can "never be satisfied" to see such "real" flaws. So we have been competing with ourselves - how to "deceive" ourselves better, and how to escape this "deception". And this may be the driving force behind human progress.
Little spider, please grow up slowly!
It is said that this movie marks the growth of Little Spider, and he has become responsible from a high school student. But I don't want him to get so fast. Because the reason why a person grows up, many times is to face the "have to" in life. Only when there is no one to bear and protect, do you need to become strong to protect yourself and your loved ones.
An Iron Man with a self-life, sacrificed himself to save the world, his sacrifice is to allow more people to enjoy his life and be with the people he loves, so why force the little spider to focus on saving the world , but neglected his personal life?
Little Spider is a bright color in superheroes that does not have a tragic atmosphere. I hope he can continue to maintain such a character, because superheroes are too bitter, and I don't want to see more sadness on Little Spider's face.
