"Spider-Man: Across the Universe" is set, and China and the United States will be released simultaneously on June 2, this news is like the coming May Day holiday, whether for fans or ordinary audiences, it is pleasant, and it has been waiting for a long time.
Columbia Pictures and Sony Animation in the United States have shot again, the original team has returned, the sequel to the best Marvel animation in film history, the pattern is larger, and the spiders are in the same frame; The visual effects are stronger and the tide is boundless. And, of course, the same "self-certification" theme in the series.
The previous game "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" was a refreshing animated movie, and fans also called it "the best Spider-Man movie of all time". What's so good? The film's style positioning in the Spider-Man series has been renewed, full of shocking visual style, and unique world view shaping. Of course, there are also the inspirational and family elements embodied in the movie, which firmly starts from the loneliness and growth of the characters - your lost life does not need to be saved by another powerful self in a parallel world, this core theme interprets the consistent motif of the Spider-Man series. These are the keys to the film's ability to break the monopoly pattern of Disney animated films, and it can counterattack "The Incredibles 2" and "Invincible King of Destruction 2" at the Oscars to become the "biggest dark horse in the animation industry".
Such a good movie, a sequel must be expected. Therefore, "Spider-Man: Across the Universe" has upgraded the pattern and visual effects on the basis of the super classic predecessor, and on the basis of the theme of the previous work and the mother body of the "Spider-Man" series of movies, the core points of the sequel, the interpretation of qualitative changes.
So we must expand on why "Spider-Man: Across the Universe" is worth looking forward to?
The story of the film continues from the previous work, the ultimate Spider-Man Miles Morales embarks on a grander adventure through the multiverse. Old characters such as Gwen the Spider and Peter Parker "Spider" return. As shown in the trailer, this time he came to a place similar to the core universe, Spider-Man 2099, Spider-Man, Indian Spider-Man, Punk Spider-Man and other famous Spider-Man characters from comics appeared, hundreds of elite Spider-Men formed the "Spider Alliance" to maintain the stability of the multiverse.
Therefore, hundreds of elite Spider-Men in this film gathered, and it can be seen from the trailer that in addition to the street culture and rock culture of the previous work, the multi-dimensional visual experience such as cyberpunk, trend games, and oil painting art style makes the sensory aesthetics of the film reach a new height.
Because the visual effects in order to match the concept of "vertical and horizontal universe", a variety of different parallel universe painting styles are integrated, each universe gives people a new sensory experience, so that the film shows the visual imagination that can only be realized by animated films, thus showing the animation technology and visual experience that is absolutely different from before. And Sony Animation even applied for a patent protection document for such a visual style, which shows that the visual effects of the film must be higher than the previous work.
And based on such a worldview setting, is the biggest selling point of the series - Spider-Man Civil War.
Because of the disagreement, all Spider-Men in the parallel universe are divided into two camps - Miles, Gwen, Peter The small team led by B. Parker, fighting the "Spider Alliance" led by Spider-Man 2099, had to fight in different rooms and launched a showdown. From the trailer of the fixed file, we can see that countless Spider-Man battle scenes seem to enter the pansilk hole, and the scene of "spider dance" is particularly eye-catching under the bizarre visual effects of the movie. From a certain point of view, the movie also has the value-added experience of "Smash Bros.", which expands the richness of the characters and the worldview pattern, which satisfies fans and makes model manufacturers smile (HT & Bandai: There are so many Spider-Man figures that can be released)
It is worth mentioning that the Easter eggs of the trailer are eye-catching. Among them, Spider-Man not only restored the famous scene of "Spider-Man pointing at each other", but even included the MCU movie universe in parallel universes. For example, the Dutch brother version of Spider-Man was innocently cue - Spider-Man 2099 said, "I don't want to mention Doctor Strange and that nerd who 199999 universe (Marvel Cinematic Universe)!" "This is a cross-cosmic attack! So say. Toby's version of Spider-Man, Garfield's version of Spider-Man, the Dutch brother's version of Spider-Man and Miles' "four generations of Spider-Man" echo? This one can really have!
And Miles' task this time is no longer the "self-certification" completed with the help of countless "themselves" in the parallel universe, but to save all Spider-Man - we all know that every Spider-Man will face the fate of losing his loved ones, so that the character can grow into a real hero, and Miles is not willing to accept his fate, vowing to break the curse of fate, find his own heroic path, and help all Spider-Man break his fate.
It can be seen that the core theme of "Spider-Man: Across the Universe" makes people feel more curious, from "a hundred spiders in the same frame" to "spider civil war", and finally the setting of "spider alliance" breaking through the shackles of fate together, which is not only very in line with the spirit of the series, but also excavates the core positioning of "Spider-Man".
Because Stan Lee created the character of "Spider-Man" that year, on the one hand, to give teenagers the opportunity to "fulfill their dreams" (Spider-Man was the first teenage superhero); On the other hand, it is his projection of the ego. Spider-Man changed his clothes, is an inconspicuous little person in the crowd, and has always been a hot-blooded teenager with the most distinctive personality and brave "being himself". However, Spider-Man and the people behind the mask are never binary separation, but a contradictory unity that is always self-reconciling. This is the biggest difference between Spider and Batman.
Therefore, the theme of "Parallel Universe" is the story of confused superheroes who save themselves after "self-proof", and this "Across the Universe" is a superhero after rebirth, the challenge of saving others and saving himself perfectly, which is the deepest part of condensing the spirit of "Spider-Man", and perhaps, it is also the place that can move the audience the most.
Finally, express my personal expectations for the film.
I still remember the eve of the release of the first "Parallel Universe", because of certain things, the mood and state were not good. But after watching the film, I can't say what I learned from a movie, but in addition to an excellent entertainment movie, the inspirational and family theme of the story makes people feel good, thus reversing the state of the whole person.
With a mask, anyone can be Spider-Man.
I believe that "Spider-Man: Across the Universe" is also the same, if you still have hormones left, you should be like Spider-Man, please splurge to your heart's content, follow the just right soundtrack, and put on the most suitable Spider-Man suit for the gorgeous pictures and characters, so that the audience is not willing to stay only in the cinema seat, but also want to follow the Spider-Man jumping up and down inside to fly off the wall and be a hero who saves his desperate little world!
