Chapter 458 Dream of Adventure
Peter Parker, an honest and honest middle school student, a nerd, likes physics and biology. He can even read papers on the latest technology and then write reports. He has almost no friends in school.
Perhaps, Harry is an exception.
Harry was born into a noble family. His father, Norman, owned a biotechnology company. However, Harry did not like to show his wealth in school, so he became friends with Peter. He longed for his father's understanding, but apparently his father didn't care——
Norman did appreciate Peter a lot.
In addition to reading and research, Peter's only hobby is photography. When the school organized a visit to Columbia University's Academy of Sciences, he did not forget to bring his camera and take photos for the school newspaper.
Of course, there is Mary Jane, whose camera is always inseparable from Mary Jane.
Robert Ebert had to admire the efficiency and richness of narrative, and Sam Raimi indeed showed rare scheduling and narrative.
With just a few strokes, Peter Parker's character image and relationship have been fully displayed -
Peter and Harry's friendship, his first meeting with Norman, his situation at school, The secret love for Mary Jane and so on are presented like a picture scroll.
No unnecessary explanation is needed, the details of the shot and the composition of the picture can show the intricate relationships and quietly let the audience enter the story.
And, more importantly, the image of Peter Parker has already appeared on the paper.
Being bullied on the school bus is just the beginning.
Seeing Mary Jane look back and smile and say hello, he waved back stupidly, and then he realized that Mary Jane was greeting the two girls walking behind him. In fact, she didn't notice him at all.
It was then that he remembered that Mary Jane did not recognize him.
In the Academy of Science, he took the initiative to share his knowledge about spiders with Harry, and Harry complained that he was "boring"; but he did not expect that Harry would use this knowledge to chat with Mary Jane as soon as he turned around, making Mary Jane look sideways.
He was stunned, but he was not angry -
After all, Harry had just asked him if he wanted to talk to Mary Jane, and he had refused.
After a few scenes and plots, Peter's image became three-dimensional, not only with edges and corners, but also with layers. He was kind but not stupid, smart but not arrogant, gentle but not fragile. It was obvious that his face was hidden. Behind the black-framed glasses, the light is completely invisible, but it is extremely vivid and bright.
Ordinary, but not ordinary.
The sense of immersion comes out.
Not just superhero movies, almost all Hollywood savior movies often feature handsome men and beautiful women. Of course, there is no problem at all. Everyone likes to be eye-catching on the big screen, but in such movies, the character design Dingye is often high-end, and the protagonists in the movie are all perfect. Those images seem to be always active in the world of the big screen. They have never and will not appear in real life, and the actors are also shrouded in mystery——< br>
There is no denying that people like it.
However, after half a century of development, people are slowly beginning to get tired of the same perfect images and the mysterious characters that are out of reach. They want to see closer and more ordinary images appearing on the screen. , they want to see their stories told.
So, three years ago, movies like "American Beauty" about the disillusionment of the perfect middle-class life entered the public eye, and times were changing.
The same thing happened before us -
Effortlessly, the audience in the screening room of the Chinese Theater could take on the role. Peter was their classmate, neighbor, or even themselves.
A sense of intimacy arises spontaneously.
Ten minutes into the movie, the audience has already resonated with Peter Parker and won the audience's support before the story unfolded. This narrative skill is really amazing.
Robert Ebert, a professional film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times, is also the only person in history to win the Pulitzer Prize for his film criticism——
Incidentally, he didn't like "The Princess Diaries," giving it a score of thirty-eight. However, he has no prejudice against directors and actors, and will not completely reject their subsequent works just because of a bad work.
When Sony Columbia invited Robert to the premiere of "Spider-Man", he agreed without any hesitation:
After all, this summer, the entire industry Everyone is paying attention, and now the entire burden is on the shoulders of "Spider-Man", and Robert is also paying close attention.
What he is curious about is, can "Spider-Man" be able to shoulder this important task?
At least from the beginning, Robert expressed satisfaction. Don't underestimate the length of these ten minutes, which may often establish the audience's impression of a movie. It is not easy to create a smooth, efficient, rich and three-dimensional narrative.
The director deserves a lot of credit.
In addition, the actor's interpretation and presentation of the character, as well as the actor's big-screen charm, are also crucial.
What really surprised Robert was Anson.
Originally, Robert was more looking forward to the performances of Kristen Dunst and James Franco in commercial movies, after all, they had already made a name for themselves; but he did not expect that the nerd played by Anson would firmly capture his attention. .
This is a positive sign.
Because of this, when that scene happened -
Peter was so engrossed in taking pictures of Mary Jane that he didn't notice a spider falling from the sky and landing on his On the index finger, he took a bite, and then the genetic structure of his body quietly changed.
Screening room: rustling; rustling.
Noisy, not noisy, but you can obviously feel a commotion.
Obviously, the audience has completely assumed Peter's role, and even their own role. They can't help but be excited and excited, entering the world of the screen——
Even if they have not read the comics, the audience who came to the premiere at least Having seen the trailer, they all knew what happened next. The spider's bite meant a change in fate, and Peter's life was turned upside down.
As a result, one and two of them jumped for joy, their hearts beating wildly against their chests. Even where Quiet was, he could still feel the boiling and burning of blood, and it filled the screening room quietly. Come.
So, this is a cool article?
Ordinary high school students dream that they have superpowers overnight?
Sure enough, everyone has a dream of adventure.
The entire theater's attention is completely focused on the world created by the big screen, including Robert himself, who is concerned about the fate of Peter Parker.
On one side, Norman's biotechnology company is developing a drug to enhance physical fitness, and they hope to cooperate with the military to obtain investment.
The seemingly glorious company is actually facing various crises. This pharmaceutical test cannot afford to fail. Norman urgently needs this order from the military.
The desperate Norman couldn't wait for the military to approve further human experiments, so he went into battle himself and tested himself as an experimental subject.
One day, Peter returned to his uncle and aunt's house. His uncle was worried about losing his job, but Peter had no time to care. He stumbled back to the room and fell asleep, as if he was growing up during adolescence.
Norman's experiment seemed to succeed and failed, but he opened his eyes and strangled the doctor in charge of the test with one hand, and then Peter woke up——
It was as if Norman The experiment was just a nightmare.
Sam Raimi is still Sam Raimi, quietly hiding the evil taste of horror movies, and the entire screening room was frightened into a cold sweat by this nightmare.
