The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1546 Forgot about oneself

The movie ends with a black screen.

"Director: Sam Raimi!"

Suddenly, Nicholas held his breath and tried his best to control himself; but the next second, the sound of drums roared in the 360-degree surround effect of the radio concert hall, surging and passionate, like a summer rainstorm, venting down and submerging the entire space in a short moment.

That, surprisingly, was the first song Anson performed at today’s premiere.

"Sail!"

Boom, boom, boom, shock, roll.

"Sail!"

It descended from the sky, surging in, breaking through the armor with unstoppable force, and hitting the depths of the soul, giving me goosebumps all over my body and making me scream wildly.

Then, someone couldn't control it anymore.

clap clap clap!
Applause, thunder.

One after another, one group after another, the crowd stood up one after another, and expressed their enthusiasm with practical actions at the first opportunity.

This is a radio concert hall, not an ordinary movie theater. There are more than 7,000 spectators in the venue. The capacity of the Chinese Theater is just a drop in the bucket compared to this. It is more like enjoying a concert than watching a movie. I can't suppress my emotions at all.

"Peter Parker: Anson Wood."

When the cast list slowly appeared on the big screen, the surging emotions in my chest and mind were completely freed from their restraints.

Full release.

In a blink of an eye, the whole audience stood up, and the thunderous applause continued to rise. Before we could even blink, it had filled the entire space, and the air was exciting.

At this time, Nicholas also realized that he couldn't control himself either.

clap clap clap!
When the hands collided together, the surging emotions in the chest burst out all at once. That kind of hearty release fully ignited the adrenaline, and the boiling blood made the body stand up naturally and join in this collective carnival feast, with reason completely thrown to the back of the mind.

A youth film, a coming-of-age film, a film about life, dreams, responsibilities and missions, a film that moves and shocks you from different angles and directions; but the amazing thing is that, in the final analysis, it is actually a pure superhero movie.

Because the real theme of the movie is still Spider-Man!

The popcorn index of the two scenes, the birth of Doctor Octopus and the subway battle, was off the charts. Their excitement can even be recorded in history and stand the test of time.

However, the real key lies in Spider-Man's "existence". The movie actually tries to explore how superheroes find a balance between ordinary life and saving the world!

In the long history of Hollywood movies, from Superman to Batman to other various superheroes, they have always been deified, pushed onto the altar, and evolved into a symbol, a label, and a god to be worshipped; but the Spider-Man in Sam Raimi's lens does just the opposite, stripping off those mythological halos, restoring a real flesh and blood body, starting from a middle school student, and incorporating the theme of growth to complete the character creation.

It is not only bold, but also brilliant. It can be called a new era, opening the door to the world of superhero movies and showing people another possibility.

In an instant, the brain explodes!

And this is still not all. The whole movie is about choices. Standing at the crossroads of life, everyone faces countless potential choices. We can blame others, we can blame the environment, we can shirk responsibility and be helpless. However, the choice is always there -

Just like Peter Parker, Professor Octavius, Mary Jane, Harry Osborn, and even the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, everyone made their own choices.

Thus, he finally embarked on the destiny he had chosen. Now, everyone should know the purpose of the various activities at the premiere, even the two songs, and everything was not arranged casually.

Those activities sow seeds in the audience's minds, waiting to take root and sprout after the movie starts, and evolve into towering trees within two hours.

All the intricate clues are condensed into a force, and the theme of "growth" is further explored after the first movie.

Shock, impact, resonance, and create a storm.

Precisely because of this, Nicholas' personal favorite moment in the movie is the moment when the camera focuses on Peter three times. Those loneliness and desolation, those struggles and pulls, are precisely the price of growing up, and it is also the moment when Peter Parker is truly given life and flesh and blood.

To be honest, if the movie ended with Peter and Mary Jane reuniting and kissing, that would be fine and Nicholas would like that too.

The reason is that Peter's eyes in that scene are delicate and profound, complex and real. A simple look tells too many young people's thoughts. It cannot be summed up with a simple word "sadness" or "regret", nor can it be summed up with a casual sentence "the person I love is getting married but the groom is not me".

It is a kind of loss and helplessness, it is a kind of complexity that only the adult world can feel, it is also a kind of heartbreak of "I can't be with you, but it doesn't mean I don't like you".

Only when you truly understand that "being together does not mean loving each other, and loving each other does not mean being able to be together" can you truly understand the complexity of love and life.

Everything is condensed in that one look. A profile, a look, a freeze frame lasting ten seconds, but it tells it all.

Over the years, there has been an endless stream of accusations surrounding Anson being a "vase". Even after experiencing "The Elephant" and "The Warmth of the Spotless Mind", the prejudice remains deeply rooted.

But Nicholas never expected that the moment that truly showed Anson's charm as an actor would come from "Spider-Man 2"-

A 100% commercial film.

The only thought in Nicholas' mind was that Sam Raimi was so, so bold. He dared to think, shoot and do it, and finally achieved such a moment!

What's even more incredible is that the movie did not stop at this scene, and based on the "happy reunion" ending, it took a small step forward, not only making the character of Mary Jane complete, but also making the whole story form a closed loop that echoes the beginning and the end. You simply can't ask for more.

This is a perfect movie from every perspective.

At this moment, the first reference that came to Nicholas' mind was... "Titanic".

These are two completely different films, with different genres, styles, narratives, etc., but in terms of emotional resonance, character creation, scene arrangement, rhythm control and other aspects and levels, both works have achieved the ultimate in genre films, which makes people...heart-stirring.

passionate.

Clap clap, clap clap.

Nicholas took a deep breath and clapped his hands with all his strength, becoming a small part of the turbulent ocean before him.

In that brief moment, Nicholas temporarily forgot himself, let go of his defenses and burdens, and simply enjoyed the excitement of the moment.

Who can refuse?

No, this is not the right answer. You should say, why would you refuse?
A wonderful movie, a happy moment, an unforgettable experience, they should enjoy it to the fullest and revel in it, they should sing and dance and bloom proudly.

The night is too short, so we should seize the time.
