Not long ago, a trailer went viral all over the Internet.
It even directly broke the world record.
In just over 2 minutes, the amount of information exploded.
People are eager to look closely frame by frame, cut the details, and open their minds.
That's right, it's Spider-Man: Homeless.
One of the most exciting things for Uncle Fish is the appearance of classic villains in the past:
Green Devil, Electric Light Man, Dr. Octopus, Sand Man, Lizard Man.
Each one will be filled with memories.
More importantly, this foreshadows the biggest attraction of the film:
The first two generations of Spider-Man are about to return, helping the Dutch brother version of Spider-Man to resolve the crisis.
The much-anticipated "three generations in the same frame" is likely to come true this time.
This wave of operations can be said to have earned enough of the audience's feelings.
Looking back at the three generations of Spider-Man so far, the memory points are very distinct.
The new generation of Dutch brother version of Spider-Man.
Youthful, childish, or a funny word.
His upbringing is closely linked to the Marvel Universe.
The last generation of Andrew Garfield's version of The Amazing Spider-Man.
The appearance is handsome and dashing, the dry frame is also refreshing and clean, and it is a good hand to fall in love.
However, the most classic Spider-Man image in the public's mind is none other than Toby Maguire's version.
Not an exaggeration to say.
He really kicked off the era of superheroes on the big screen.
Most importantly.
After taking off Spider-Man's battle robe, the ordinary Peter Parker, like you and me, really aroused widespread resonance.
Take this opportunity to review the original Spider-Man trilogy.
01
"Di Si" counterattack
The first of the trilogy, released in 2002.
At that time, the awareness of "superheroes" by domestic audiences was very low. Most people have only heard of a few classic characters, such as Superman and Batman.
Spider-Man was introduced to China purely as an American action sci-fi blockbuster.
It is also voiced by Shanghai Film Translation Studio.
With "The Lord of the Rings", "Star Wars", "Harry Potter", "Mission Impossible" and other big IP on the same stage.
2002 Chinese film box office
apparently.
Compared with the protagonists of these blockbusters, the initial image of Spider-Man Peter Parker is somewhat "crotch-pulling"——
He was just an ordinary high school student.
No strong ability, not handsome enough, not tall enough.
Personality is also very inferior.
Even in the eyes of many people, he is a "dick" and "loser".
In terms of friendship, he had no friends except harry, the only sworn enemy.
He is also often bullied by his classmates.
I didn't catch the bus, so I had to chase the car.
As a result, not only did he not get the help of his classmates, but he was also ruthlessly ridiculed.
In terms of love, of course, it is also unproductive.
He has always had a crush on the girl next door, Mary Jane.
But the other party not only did not care about him.
He also got into the luxury car of his rich and handsome friend Harry.
In terms of affection, he was repeatedly traumatized.
Since his parents died, he was cared for by his uncle and aunt.
But unexpectedly, this only warmth was also taken away by an accident.
The last conversation between Peter and his uncle was a quarrel.
The turning point in Peter's life was in a scientific exhibition organized by the school.
After being bitten by a spider, he transforms into Spider-Man.
Extraordinary strength, quick hands, can fly rocks and wall, shoot spider silk.
But at first, he had no ambitions.
Just thinking about using your ability to pursue love.
In order to buy a luxury car, win the favor of Mary Jane.
He went to wrestling tournaments with high prize money.
As a result, the organizers refused to give him the original $3,000 on the grounds that Peter had won too quickly, and only gave him $100 to send him.
He held a grudge against him.
As it happened, I ran into a robber on the way out.
He had the ability to intercept, but in a moment of revenge, he let the robbers go.
Unexpectedly, it was this robber who killed Peter's uncle after going out.
In remorse, Peter recalled what his uncle had taught him before he died:
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."
The spirit of the jealous and vengeful Spider-Man began to sprout.
After that, Peter began to devote himself to fighting urban crime and fighting against the forces of evil.
His fate finally began to be rewritten.
As a result, the second half of the film has a "counterattack" feeling.
Peter even got a hot kiss hanging upside down in the rain from his dream lover Mary Jane.
Famous scenes
Later, he ushered in the first fierce opponent of his career, the Green Devils.
The Green Devil was originally the father of harry.
In a failed scientific experiment, he was transformed into a physically strong, evil and violent figure.
Maliciously set off a bloody storm in the city and start a good and evil war with Spider-Man.
Naturally, he was eventually punished by fate.
But for Peter, apart from the victory or non-victory of the battle.
The most important thing is an important lesson in responsibility and competence.
02
Become a hero
In the second part, Peter officially begins his "two-sided life".
On the one hand, he is an unremarkable college student.
He was still haunted by troubles.
Living in a humble rental house, always unable to pay the rent.
In order to make a living, he works part-time and studies.
But it is always unable to take care of it.
He worked as a delivery man, but was fired because he was late to save people on the road.
After returning to school.
He was also reprimanded by the teacher for being late for class frequently.
Results have also plummeted.
On the other hand, spider-man plays the role of "vigilante".
This special status made him have to deceive the person he loved.
He hid his love for Mary Jane.
Also because of saving people, she missed one of her most important performances.
Exhausted, he briefly gave up his Spider-Man identity.
But chatting with his aunt made him realize the meaning of "Spider-Man".
"Everyone loves heroes, it keeps us loyal to ourselves, it gives us strength, it makes us noble, and finally it makes us die gloriously."
After returning to Spider-Man, the evil forces he faces are getting stronger and stronger.
Dr. Octopus was originally a mad scientist.
Because of a failed experiment, his wife died, and he was manipulated by a robotic arm.
Blackened into a horrible criminal.
Peter in order to stop his evil deeds.
In the process of fighting him, he even used the strength of his flesh to block the out-of-control train.
In the end, Spider-Man awakens Dr. Octopus's original soul.
Before the Big Bang, Dr. Octopus sacrificed himself to protect the city.
In this round of struggle, Peter found the value of self-existence.
It can be said that from this part, he really became a superhero.
03
Find your heart
After many dangers and obstacles.
By the third installment, Spider-Man has been put on the altar.
Life is also smooth sailing.
He continued to go back to school and did well.
Part-time photographer for the Daily Clarion and enjoy it.
In terms of love, not only do you hug the beauty, but you also pick flowers and weeds everywhere.
However, fame and fortune come too quickly and too violently, which is not a good thing.
At this time, Peter can be described in two words - floating.
Potential temptations and dangers were approaching him.
The three villains of this part can be seen as the ultimate test for Peter.
First there is an enhanced version of "Green Devil".
In fact, it was Peter's nemesis Harry.
He had always mistakenly believed that Spider-Man had deliberately killed his father.
In order to avenge his father's murder, he inherited his father's green devil mantle.
Then there is the mighty "Sand Man".
He was an "accomplice" in the killing of Uncle Peter.
The biggest enemy is "Venom".
He appears in liquid form, needs to cling to others to survive, and can give the host a strong vitality.
First it parasitizes Peter, allowing the evil side of Peter's heart to be released.
He then invades his disgruntled colleagues, giving him the power to take revenge on Peter.
Further, these three villains test how Peter faces the past and faces himself.
Peter also got lost.
But in the end, after seeing the dark side of his heart, he understood light and justice more deeply.
He chose to reconcile with the past and guard his inner conscience.
The trilogy has advanced to this point, and the character of Spider-Man has been fully enriched, and the emotional foundation of the audience has been fully established.
Unfortunately, due to director Sam Remy parting ways with Sony.
This version, there is no follow-up.
But that doesn't stop it from becoming a classic.
For a long time, when it comes to Spider-Man, many people have the face of Toby Maguire in their minds.
Now, look back at the trilogy.
To be fair, from the perspective of reduction, it may not be the spider-man image that is closest to the original comic book.
The degree of character reduction is not as good as the Dutch brother version.
The Dutch version of Spider-Man presents Peter's appearance, figure, hairstyle and expression in the comics almost as they are.
The cheerful personality and the words are also the same as in the comics.
The degree of detail restoration is not as good as the last two generations.
In Toby Maguire's version, Tusi shoots spider silk directly from her own wrist.
After "The Amazing Spider-Man", it was changed to the setting of "Spider Silk Launcher" in the comics.
But then again.
The degree of reduction is not only reflected in the shallow level of casting and detail settings.
More importantly, the restoration of the core of value.
In this sense, Toby Maguire's original Spider-Man is actually the closest to the original.
In the original, Spider-Man is a typical grassroots hero, and the story focuses on the growth and change of ordinary students from infancy to maturity.
Director Sam Remy's adaptation of the original is also based on this.
He tried to highlight the hardships of Peter's upbringing.
Reinforced the inferior and depressed side of his early personality.
In terms of plot setting, he blamed his uncle's death, which added a tragic color to this image.
The reason why Peter was allowed to spit silk himself was not to use a spider web transmitter.
The director said that it was considering that Peter was a high school student and would not develop such a high-tech thing.
This also makes Peter's image more realistic.
Look at the second generation of "The Amazing Spider-Man".
Spider-Man changed Toby's version of the bitter image, is a dashing and confident handsome teenager.
The story itself is more like a youth film.
Love has become the highlight, and saving the world is more like a catalyst for love.
This also makes Peter's personal growth changes seem a little abrupt due to the lack of sufficient preparation.
To the third generation of the Dutch brother version of Spider-Man.
Peter doesn't look like a civilian hero.
He can already be regarded as the successor of Iron Man.
Compared with the simple battle robes designed by the original generation of Spider-Man himself, it is difficult to grow up independently.
And the Dutch brother version of Spider-Man has a high-end steel suit.
576 cobweb launch combinations can be included.
It's all thanks to Iron Man's Stark Industry.
The troubles in life, but also the teachers of all sides to show him the path of life.
The more external help, the more the self-transformation of the Jedi is naturally weakened accordingly.
In addition, the positioning of the film itself is also crucial.
This determines whether it can become a classic out of the circle.
In the early 21st century, superhero movies had not yet become a specialized genre.
The original "Spider-Man" trilogy never limited itself to the superhero label.
Its positioning is a drama film that combines elements of science fiction, action, and love.
Don't pursue the complexity of the story, nor do you pursue depth.
So what does it pursue?
Audience resonance.
The protagonist Peter's grassroots counterattack main line naturally closes the distance with the audience.
Even the story lines of the supporting characters are very real and full.
For example, Mary Jane, a girl Peter likes, although she is criticized by many people as "green tea".
But her motives are also reasonable and self-consistent.
She was born into an unfortunate family, her mother was seriously ill and her father's violent tendencies were severe.
Relying on hard work to survive, he has always adhered to his dream of acting.
Her later choice of love naturally included a desire for and dependence on material things.
The character of Harry is equally three-dimensional and vivid.
His feelings for his father are very complicated.
At one point, he was even tormented because his father liked Peter more than himself.
After his father's death, Peter gave him the best companionship.
After learning peter's identity, he fell into the dilemma of friendship and affection.
In the end, his feelings for Peter are also touching because of these complicated bonds.
These vivid characters, a complete story line.
Only to hold up the real and perceptible world of Spider-Man.
Let's see ourselves from different sides.
And in "The Amazing Spider-Man", the movie began to move closer to the superhero genre.
It produces a lot of characters and creates multiple stereotyped villains.
Moreover, the film has more ambitions to build the world, eliminating the need for personal emotions and busy establishing a network of good and evil relationships.
Makes the film more like a pure super-british film.
Now, the third generation of Spider-Man is completely classified into the sequence of the Marvel Universe.
The story is set in the Red and Blue battle in Captain America: Civil War.
To get into this story, you need a certain knowledge base of Marvel movies in itself.
The further you shoot, the higher the threshold.
In the end, it becomes more and more like self-congratulation in the circle.
For the public, I am afraid that only entertainment remains, and it is difficult to produce much emotional resonance.
These problems are typical in today's film market.
The film is supported by a series of commercial operations such as image IP, high concept production, and mature marketing team.
It is undeniable that it has brought about a box office surge.
Time and again, we waited tirelessly for reversals, Easter eggs, and cheers for more and more superb audiovisual effects.
But when I think about it, the story is getting farther and farther away from the real us.
The few touches are all related to feelings.
This lack of regret highlights the preciousness of Toby Maguire's version of "Spider-Man".
Toby's Peter can be remembered precisely because he is small enough and lonely.
Like ordinary people, he will make mistakes and get tired.
He hurt the people he loved most and left a lifelong regret.
He often felt overwhelmed.
Struggling to balance study, work, and dreams.
That's why it's so ordinary.
As Peter struggles to break free from his small self, the image of Spider-Man becomes more powerful and dazzling.
The most memorable scene is when he loses his superpowers.
Or rush into the fire building, trying to rescue the child.
At this time, he is not only a heroic role, but also like a hope and a spirit.
It shakes the infinite courage and enthusiasm in the viewer's heart.
As Marvel President Kevin Feige put it, "Heroes are mortals."
And Toby Maguire's Spider-Man really interprets —
Only ordinary flesh and blood can write a true heroic legend.
