The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1536 Psychological Dilemma
Youth is unbridled, ostentatious and brilliant; but at the same time, youth is also boring, confused and struggling.

At that time, we seemed to realize our own complexity for the first time, and we were ignorantly exposed to the ups and downs of society. We cautiously approached the throbbing and pain of first love. At the moment of life and death, we really had the power to hurt ourselves for the first time. More and more problems filled our heads, but we could not find any solutions.

The short period of time was like a storm.

So, we are trapped in the surge of youth, rushing around, getting hurt, until we are bruised and exhausted, but there is still no answer.

Those years seemed so long that there was no end in sight. It seemed that no matter how hard we ran or how hard we tried, we could not see the end.

At that time, we always thought that everything would be fine after we grew up, that as long as we grew up we would have the answers, and that as long as we grew up we would no longer be confused.

It wasn't until I grew up that I realized that life is not that simple.

However, at this moment, on the big screen, they saw the confusion and conflict of youth again, and those trivial and insignificant things seemed to be the collapse of the world.

When we grow up and look back at our youth, finally escaping that period of time, we once thought that what we missed most was the youthfulness and boldness of that time; but at some point we begin to miss the worries of that time, worrying about too much homework, worrying about not having friends, worrying about things going wrong in school performances, worrying about being called out by the teacher for dozing off in class, worrying about the person we secretly love not liking us, those little worries, those insignificant worries that fill the whole world.

Because when you grow up, the real troubles you need to face are no longer that simple.

Just like Peter Parker in front of us.

Once, his biggest worry was whether Mary Jane would notice that he, Harry, and Norman's relationship was alienated because of him, and whether his identity as Spider-Man might be discovered by Aunt May.

But now, he has to keep a huge secret and push away his family, love and friendship. Not only does he fall into pain, but everyone around him also falls into pain.

Maybe it was a good thing that Mary Jane got engaged because she was looking forward.

However, he still couldn't laugh.

From "Spider-Man" to "Spider-Man 2", a flesh-and-blood Peter Parker is gradually becoming an ordinary college student who may appear around everyone.

After the banquet, Peter still couldn't vent his depression, so he put on his suit again and flew over the New York night sky, trying to use the cold wind to clear his brain.

But unexpectedly, the super power failed again.

This time, it fell directly from a high altitude.

What's worse is that after a series of tests, Peter realized that all his super powers seemed to have disappeared -

The ability to climb, see and hear, jump, and of course, silk.

All failed.

In an instant, he... he became Peter Parker again, the bespectacled boy who was inconspicuous in school and even played against the football team.

What to do?
Things don't seem to be going well, because Doctor Octopus has started his research again, ambitiously preparing to rebuild the protective shield and continue his nuclear fusion research.

However, Peter was thinking that maybe this wasn't such a bad thing.

In the darkness of night, Peter sat on the balcony of his apartment, looking up at the moon, bathing in the bright moonlight, and looking at the Spider-Man suit on his right.

There were no words, no dialogues or monologues. The tiredness and anxiety between the brows seemed to smile little by little in the moonlight. The tense shoulder lines relaxed, and some relief could be found in those clear eyes.

Then, Peter turned to look at the picture of Uncle Ben and Aunt May on the bedside table, then looked down at his hands and let out a long breath.

This is the second time in the movie that the camera is focused on Anson's face, letting time pass, quietly capturing the flow of light and shadow on Anson's eyebrows and eyes, and carefully capturing the surge of emotions.

Not only does it not present it simply and directly with words, but it also believes 100% in Anson's performance; and it confidently slows down the intensive rhythm of commercial films, giving the film time to ferment on the big screen, and tapping into the power of emotion through pictures, sounds, light and shadow, and performance.

Bold. Delicate. Indescribable. Just look at the reaction at the Radio Concert Hall, where the audience held their breath, stared at the big screen, and was completely immersed in the time of the movie.

When Peter woke up the next morning, he regained his long-lost smile.

He fell on his back again, he put on his glasses again, and when he saw the NYPD car passing by, he realized that he couldn't help. He could focus on his college studies and win the professor's praise again. He started looking for a part-time job again in the hope of solving Aunt May's problem.

He is Peter Parker again.

Without the burden of superpowers, life returns to normal. Ordinary people can just face their own troubles, while troubles that are beyond the capabilities of ordinary people will be left to those who have the abilities to solve.

It's hard to believe, but this is actually the most relaxing and enjoyable moment in the entire movie, when Peter Parker puts down his Spider-Man uniform and returns to the life of an ordinary college student.

Then, the melody made its appearance again: the second track Anson performed at the premiere.

In the brisk and smooth melody, Peter Parker shows incredible vigor and energy, and Anson on the big screen suddenly comes alive.

Even if you see it with your own eyes, it is still hard to believe that the same person can show completely different charms that make you unable to take your eyes off.

Even so, Peter showed up at the theater on time and finally watched Mary Jane's performance in the audience.

On the stage, Mary Jane was performing. She inadvertently looked towards the audience and saw Peter in the crowd because of the reflection of his glasses.

Mary Jane was stunned.

Peter's mouth curled up slightly, but then retracted. "Focus," he said.

This sentence made Mary Jane smile slightly, and she almost forgot her lines -

"I'm so glad," the stage manager was reminding the actors in the side stage, over and over again.

Mary Jane turned her head blankly, as if someone had spoken out her thoughts, then looked at Peter in the audience again and nodded slightly.

"I am very happy."

Crisis, resolved.

After the show, Peter and Mary Jane walked side by side through the New York night.

Peter seemed very excited and he tried to win back Mary Jane, but Mary Jane did not avoid it. She told Peter directly that she was about to get married and she would not be so moved that she would run into his arms just because he came to watch her performance once.

Peter tried to explain and illustrate, but his words were ultimately just rootless duckweed.

Mary Jane doesn't think it's that simple.

Peter's eyes revealed a hint of desire, and he spoke with deep affection and excitement, wishing he could take his heart out, "It's different now. If you hit me, I will bleed."

So romantic yet so deadly, Radio Concert Hall immediately understood the complexity behind this sentence.

But Mary Jane didn't understand. She looked at Peter helplessly for a long time, "...I have to go."

Standing next to the taxi, Mary Jane looked back at Peter, carefully examining him, and tried to smile, "You are indeed different."

Then Mary Jane got in the car and drove away without stopping.

Peter stood there in a daze, his eyes never leaving the taxi.
