"Super long trailer of the year", can you get a high score against the sky based on the art style? I really don't understand the beauty of this

There has been enough discussion about "Spider-Man: Across the Universe", especially domestically.

After watching the discussion in the past two days, it can be summed up in two sentences: the technology is super awesome, and Hollywood is really finished.

The former, of course, refers to its painting style, not only the explosion of color, but also the integration of painting styles, which is unprecedented. The latter tells its story, and the little spider has been busy all over the film, just to reconcile with his family.

Coupled with the setting of "unfinished" to be continued, Lu Han sang the theme song, and domestic netizens had a bipolar debate:

One is - the "best looking" movie of the year.

One is – the annual "super long" trailer/super long Easter egg.

Repeat Nezha's old routine of "my life depends on me"?

Can you get a high score against the sky based on your drawing style alone?

You know, IMDb's current score of 9.1 has surpassed "Batman: The Dark Knight" and won the best position in the history of superhero films.

With such doubts, Sir started the second brush journey and accidentally found several "hot" Easter eggs.

So today, we will not repeat the words that have been said countless times, and talk about this movie from a few details.

Let's throw the conclusion first, a family word:

Spider rebellion is not the so-called fate.

It's about being defined everywhere, and caged power.

The following are all spoilers, and partners who have not seen it can mark it first and then collect. Then go to the cinema and participate in the discussion after watching it.

01

Space 42

At the end of "Spider-Man: Across the Universe", there was a shocking scene:

Spider-Man Miles of Universe 1610 accidentally traveled to Universe 42, but found that in this universe, he "himself" became a "villain", a prowler.

In this scene, the most surprising thing is not the confrontation between good and evil Miles, but another question it raises:

The growth route of Miles of the two universes is the same, the difference is only that Miles of Universe 1610 was bitten by a spider, so why did one become a hero who "helped grandma cross the road", and the other became a ruthless villain?

What kind of person is Miles, who has thrown away the hero/villain cloak?

Sir noticed a detail when he brushed it twice: at the beginning of the movie, Gwen appeared, and in a traveling subway, she walked through the crowd, and the picture showed a normal blue sweatshirt and sometimes Spider-Man's clothes.

Is it reasonable?

Of course it's unreasonable (no Spider-Man would be idle and wear a suit to squeeze the subway).

So what is the intention of this shot?

Combined with the later story, we know that Gwen at this moment has never found her own positioning, she has no stable foothold, no support of family and friendship, no solid sense of mission, in other words, the appearance that changes from time to time, in fact, she is like many modern young people, unable to find herself.

As the second shot in the opening scene (the first is her leaving her group), this can almost be seen as setting the tone of the film.

It's a story of finding oneself. So let's look at this last scene, which is actually very clear.

It clearly states:

Miles meets another Miles who has become a "prowler" on this planet, and he faces a much greater impact than his uncle Allen is a prowler in the first part, and when he finds out that he has also become a villain, he is bound to ask the definition of "id".

At the same time, the same goes for "Prowler" Myers.

A discovery.

"Prowler" Miles only said four lines in the whole film, and each sentence can clearly distinguish the boundaries between "you" and "me".

"Your dad is still alive?"

"You say, your father is still alive."

"My name is Miles Morales, and you can call me the Prowler."

Even when Spider-Man Miles said he would return to planet 1610 to save "our" father, Miles the Prowler immediately corrected:

"It's your father."

The first step in finding oneself is to strictly draw boundaries, individuals should never be attached to others, nor should they only depend on the collective, everyone should be unique, a person with clear cognition, in this sense, Spider-Man Miles will take a slightly longer path, I'm afraid.

Not only explicitly, but at the same time, it also implies:

One number: 42.

42 appears repeatedly in movies.

The creator said it was a tribute to black baseball player, Jack Robinson of No. 42.

But Sir prefers another answer.

The number "42" refers to the ultimate answer to the universe in the sci-fi "Bible" movie "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".

And now, the last scene of the movie takes place in Universe 42, which almost hints that here, he will get the ultimate answer.

The answer from what aspect?

It's certainly not how to save your father (this can almost be seen as a main quest). Instead, answer the big question "Who am I?"

After all, Miles Spider-Man's identity has always had a dilemma that cannot be integrated with reality. He can't confess his Spider-Man to his parents and can't face a "possible" fate.

Today's Miles may be like a picture on his phone screen. A black, empty little man who doesn't know what color to fill into.

02

Punk Spider-Man

So the question is, how to look for "who am I"?

Probably "disappointed" everyone.

The answer given by the film is not to find, but to deny first: to figure out who I am "not who".

When Spider-Man Miles of Universe 1610 appeared, he was trying to prove, "I am Spider-Man".

He grabbed the "spots" and ended up making a mess of himself, and he also made a mess of the city.

He made a product endorsement, but apologized to the public for his talcum powder.

He tried hard to gain everyone's approval, but he always made more and more mistakes, so that his original identity, student, also became a headache for the teacher.

At this time, a very few, but extremely important role appeared:

Punk Spider-Man.

In this "Spider-Man universe", Punk Spider-Man is an out-of-place person.

His painting style is unique and disorganized, as if torn from a poster and cut and pasted collage at will (similar to pop art collage).

As Hobby's animation design institute said, "We were thinking about using collages and new media, and working with Xerox copiers to achieve the degradation effect caused by constantly copying physical media." ”

His identity is complex. He is a supermodel, a guitarist in a rock band, an organizer of illegal rallies, and an equalizer who goes to gay bars.

"I'm not a role model for the public."

In "Across the Universe", after we heard the first sentence of Hobby's self-introduction, he didn't say more.

Why?

Sir searched for the story behind him:

Punk Spider-Man, named Hobie Brown, first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man Volume 3, belonging to Universe 138.

In the universe he lives in, the United States at this moment has become a totalitarian world, ruled by the tyrannical President Norman Osborne (in other universes, he is also the Green Goblin).

And Hobby?

According to the comic book, Hobby was bitten by a spider exposed to radioactive waste while living on the street, thus becoming the Spider-Man of this universe, he is a staunch anti-system, he led an uprising against President Osborne, gathered a rebel army, overthrew the dictatorship...

Old.

It is guessed that because of his revolutionary party status, he cannot expose too much information. So what is his role in "Across the Universe"?

One word: negative.

Hobie is a man with countless labels, but at the same time, he is against any labels, as he said, he denies heroes ("I'm not a hero, because calling yourself a hero will turn you into a narcissistic dictator"), he can deny everything (when the Indian Spider-Man universe disappears, he says "that symbolizes capitalism").

The only thing that does not deny is yourself.

There is such a idle pen in the movie.

When several Spider-Men entered the elevator and took off their masks, Miles saw Hobby and sighed: "It's cooler when you take off your mask." ”

Hobby replied: "Cool is a habit".

What do you mean?

The implication is that there is no difference between the identity of Spider-Man wearing a mask and Hobie taking off the house, and the change of identity cannot change a person.

Whether it's Spider-Man or ordinary people, they are first and foremost an independent individual.

And when he arrived at the Spider-Man Alliance, he found that everyone in this place regarded themselves as heroes, everyone followed the instructions of unified deployment, and there was no independence at all.

A detail.

When Miles "led the spider out of the hole", the Spider-Man threw his bracelet and entered his own time and space, escaping.

He is not bad, but disagrees, does not conspire. So Miles and Punk Spider-Man walked into the headquarters and said, I want a bracelet too.

Punk Spider-Man kept picking and touching the west after entering the lab, and it turned out that he was collecting materials to make another bracelet for Gwen/Miles.

It is precisely because of this that Sir speculates that the existence of punk Spider-Man is not to prove that Spider-Man can change his life against the sky, but that it pays more attention to a free will to resist.

Especially in the Spider-Man League, you can see that every Spider-Man is doing a job called "Spider-Man", they are like commuting, completing the tasks assigned by the boss, where is the possibility of finding themselves?

Even the boss of the alliance, 928 universe Miguel O'Hara, he is a rule-abiding person, on his own console, block by piece monitors, arranged in an orderly manner, desperately maintaining the orderly order of the "weaving net".

He lived by the principle that he was righteous.

But at the same time, they are also trapped in the cage of power and are unwilling to change easily.

Therefore, whether in Hobby's own world or in other universes, he does not care about Miguel's authority and the future fate of Spider-Man's web.

Resistance became an inevitable attribute in him.

So since that's the case, it's better to destroy it together.

We can wonder who we really are. But at least we need to know what we are "not," at least not by anyone else.

After all, why do we love Spider-Man? Because he is an ordinary person like you and me.

Different from the sense of "destiny" shouldered by other superheroes, "Spider-Man" comes from Brooklyn, New York, without a solid family background, no AI and genius butler who can give himself a superweapon.

He has insect-like vitality, a cheap sense of humor, a unique personality, and the difficulty of tightening his groin.

However, his existence is more like a "person" than a "hero".

03

Or universe 42

So, everything is clear. The main line of the entire "Spider-Man" animated series, on the surface, is that the little spider changes his life against the sky, but it is essentially a young person in the modern sense, the process of finding himself.

In the third part, its main line is most likely to be a squad against the Spider-Man League (if the prediction is wrong, welcome to hit the face).

Why?

Two details.

One is that in the last universe No. 42, when Miles was caught, there was a "garbled code" situation, and chattered that he was Spider-Man, and Uncle Allen did not react.

He just casually turned on the turntable and played a sad love song, Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City.

What do you mean?

Not only is he not surprised to travel through the universe, but he is also not surprised by Spider-Man. This implies that universe 42 is not unrelated to cobwebs because there is no Spider-Man, and it is very likely that they still have a hostile relationship with the Spider-Man universe.

This is a question of justice in the Spider-Man League. Another detail is the same scene.

When Miles the Prowler appeared, the background sound of the news came out of the TV, only 3 sentences:

1, the mayor extended the mandatory curfew for New York City;

2, the Evil Six quickly occupy major streets;

3, a mysterious man appears and wins the high appeal of the citizens.

Who is this mysterious man?

Could it be a spider in this universe?

However, when Sir searches for the background of Punk Spider-Man, this message appears:

In Planet 138, Prowler Hobby Brown appears as Spider-Man.

Coincidentally, isn't it?

The first appearance of the Prowler was in 1969 in Stan Lee's "The Amazing Spider-Man" episode 78, becoming a very short-lived villain, after which he was persuaded to surrender by Spider-Man. Even in later episodes, there are Spider-Man who hide his identity and pretend to be Spider-Man.

In the biography, "Prowler" is defined as "a viable ally and a superhero." ”

So, is it that on Planet 42, Davis and the nephew of "Miles 42" are doing the same thing as Spider-Man Miles?

Still serving justice in this city?

After all, a comparison is that Miles in universe 1610 is so rich, and in universe 42, his family will have to live on relief, saying that he is a villain, so poor, it can't be said, right?

In any case, even if the speculation is lost, Sir will still look forward to the appearance of the third part.

As I said before, outside the burner, cooler, more exciting assembly line. We finally regained the original throbbing as a Marvel fan, those whimsical strangeness.

That pure parallel universe concept.

That cool art design.

At least, it's a visual spectacle we've never experienced before.

So back to the question at the beginning: Is Hollywood really finished?

If you count the 6 days after the movie was released, only 160 million at the box office, this sentence seems to be a certainty.

But Sir felt that it might not be Hollywood that was finished, but our passion for movies.

In the early years, how many times did we rejoice because of some fresh angle in a certain movie, desperately trying to show it to others?

At that time, it seemed that we only saw the merits of cinema.

And now?

When a movie is in front of us, we always unconsciously magnify its shortcomings.

The heart of discovery, dull.

So in the movie, when Sir sees Gwen and Miles hanging upside down on the bell tower overlooking the city, Miles says, "We are very similar", he can't help but think:

Are those of us who love movies Spider-Man in a sense?

Under this "weird" mask, looking for each other and companions alone?

Just like Eason Chan's song:

A few pairs of hands, a few pairs of legs

Fang will make you like me

......

If you like weirdos

Actually, I'm beautiful
