"Spider-Man: Across the Universe" is coming, why is it a superhero movie milestone?

I don't know when superhero movies lost the magic that made me want to walk into the theater. Since "Avengers 4", superhero movies seem to have entered an assembly line production mode, whether it is the plot or the characters, it is difficult to have new ideas.

And "Spider-Man: Across the Universe" made me see another possibility of superhero movies.

Compared with live-action superheroes, this is not closer to comic animated movies, but gives creators a chance to completely "self-release". They can use the power of animation to create a universe that only exists in dreams.       

The film's previous work "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" can be described as a double harvest at the word-of-mouth box office. And in this sequel, we can see that the ambitions of the production team definitely do not stop there.

The sequel five years later is definitely worthy of the high starting point of the previous work.

The biggest selling point of this film is the multiverse created by more than 1,000 artists. I believe everyone also knows that in this movie, there will be hundreds of Spider-Men with different styles appearing.

For the first time, you can carefully search for countless Spider-Man figures in a movie, reminiscent of the freshness of seeing various Spider-Man when chasing comics, and the movie blends these exciting memories together, the shock and excitement really make old fans feel numb in the scalp.

In the new film, the new generation of Spider-Man Miles returns to the multiverse, straying into the multiverse in the battle with the villain "Spot", joining hands with Spider Gwen to open a grander multiverse adventure against the Spider Alliance and the established destiny, and a cosmic-level Spider-Man civil war is about to begin.

Such an unprecedented Spider-Man melee was played out by the movie.

Chinese-style posters can't help but use "Tiangong" to "spoil" a wave, all Spider-Man shows their own talents, and the protagonist Miles is the skin monkey who is a backbone in the Spider-Man world and a hundred enemies.

As an animated movie, "Spider-Man: Across the Universe" vividly shows the wild imagination and the changes of the multiverse. The multiverse that Spider-Man adventures through in the movie, each time he enters a universe, the pictures, colors, and styles are very different, and you can truly feel the unique visual experience and cultural shock.

For me, Spider-Man: Universe is definitely a landmark work in terms of art style. As a team of three directors, each has their own unique ability, which completely exceeds the level of animation production in terms of artistic aesthetics and lens language.

What is even more valuable is that there are so many universes, so many Spider-Man, but there will never be a sense of repetition, each version of Spider-Man is shaped by flesh and blood, all have their own unique story and background, which also adds more highlights and emotional elements to the movie.

Each universe is highly unified with the style of the "native" Spider-Man.

For example, Gwen Stacey's main dimension 65 main universe uses a lot of bold, graphical processing, which seems to be composed of a series of whirlwind-like colors. If you are an old comic book fan, you should be able to see that the style of the early "Spider-Woman" comic cover is heavily used here. When Gwen concentrates, we see that the scene gradually disappears into the distance, leaving only color, and the picture is very expressive.

The emotions represented by color have a specific image in this movie, such as when Gwen is mistaken for a heinous murderer by his father who is a sheriff, the blue behind his father changes, and you can feel a subtle change in a father's emotions from colors and brushstrokes, this kind of emotion visible to the naked eye is more moving than words.

Unlike the flowing watercolor style of Gwen's world, Indian Spider-Man Pavita Palahak's world Bombbaton is Universe 50101, a mandala world composed of patterns and colors. The world seems to put Mumbai and Manhattan together into a kaleidoscope, combining ancient Indian colors with modern architecture, like accidentally flipping through an Indian comic book in the seventies, with a feeling of magical realism.

And after watching the movie, I instantly got the subtlety of the movie for the Indian Spider-Man's choice of painting style, a teenager who is smooth sailing regardless of his studies and feelings, even Spider-Man's identity has changed in a short period of time, enthusiastically and brilliantly completing the responsibilities shouldered, just like the style given to him by the movie, gorgeous, chaotic but orderly.

Even the main universe has surprises, our most familiar "spider spider" Peter ·· Parker is finally back! This time, he turned into the strongest daddy, and Spider-Man is finally a daddy!

There is also a Spider-Man who brought extreme shock from the style of painting - Punk Spider-Man. His universe No. 138 seems to be forever rocking, and the rock elements can be seen everywhere, and the picture alone can make people feel that hoarseness.

Amazingly, compared to Miles and Gwen, he is more flat, walking with brown paper strokes, like the improvised graffiti of some wild comic book maniac. Miraculously, the completely different painting styles are not at all contradictory, and when Miles, Gwen and Punk Spider-Man are side by side, the three different painting styles are surprisingly harmonious and intertwined, which makes me wonder in front of the screen: how is this done!

In addition to the dizzying humanoid Spider-Man with different drawing styles, "Spider-Man: Across the Universe" also opens up a different way, from the species to a style change award, we can see cute and handsome spider cats, spider horses, dinosaur Spider-Man, and even spider-werewolves have their own masks. In this universe, everything can be Spider-Man, and each universe has its own distinct color.

It is also necessary to mention the villain "blob" that broke the fourth wall and crossed into the real world. He has no facial features, and his pure white body with black spots is very characteristic.

Brilliant colors, diverse cultures, countless new Spider-Man looks and new stories, these alone are attractive enough. Extremely avant-garde graphics, coupled with explosive picture expression, such a visual impact is absolutely unique in animated films.

Whether it is a wonderful chase scene or a grand battle scene, the fast lens language and fine animation and constantly changing colors and pictures will bring a strong visual impact.

Paired with BGM video music by gold medal trap music producer Metro Boomin, it uses a variety of instruments and sound effects, blending different music styles, making each universe full of immersion.

It can be said that "Spider-Man: Across the Universe" is definitely not only a movie sequel to Spider-Man, it is a collection of comics, pop culture, modern art, and multinational styles for many years, bringing us the best multiverse audiovisual feast from the picture, style, music, etc.

Such a movie is definitely worth all of us, brush two and three brushes, and enjoy it.
