Spidey

We saw the Spiderman-3 last Friday. I had to say that after the 10th minute, I got really really bored. Then it sorta kick off in its own way.

Peter (Tobey McGuire) character is very much the same, the nerd who then revenged for his Uncle Ben’s death. However, in Spiderman-3, Peter is very much famous compared to MJ, unlike in Spidey-1. The fame has taken away his time with Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst) along with his judgment. It then, with the help of that thingy from outaspace, made him a different person, kinda bad person.

It’s funny though when people portray Superhero as noble, he who can’t do bad or feel bad things and to justify his wrong-doings, we must blame it to an external factor, i..e in this case, an alien possession. I clearly remember what an old friend told me that he doesn’t believe that Satan exist, (btw, where are you now Vanan?), that satan is just created in human’s minds to justify all the wrong doings they have done. It’s like, hey I didn’t mean to hurt you but Satan whispered something to my heart that made me do it. I somehow bought over, not to the idea of inexistence of Satan because they were mentioned in all the holy books, but to the accountability man can put off when it comes to their own wrongdoings.

Back to the Spidey-3. I feel that Harry Osborn (James Franco) character can be polished a little bit more. His behavior when ‘woke up from the amnesia’ is drastically changed and unlike his Father, he tends to sway away from one mood to another that easily. Not really smooth.

But I like the idea that all bad guys turn bad for reasons. The trauma they had when they were small, the Shame Attack at work (eventhough for Spidey-3, it is not really a big deal), the misunderstandings over friends or family, the poverty, etc. However, towards the end, there are always choices to make, whether you want to stay bad or you want to clear things up and be good again. Even Super-Bad-Guy (the inverse of Super-Hero) had reasons, and had choices. This Spidey-3 explained that in the clearest way I’ve seen so far.

In short, things I’ve learnt from the Spidey-3:

1. Forgiving ourselves is very much harder than forgiving others. Once ourselves are forgiven, we could somehow forgive others that easy.

2. A husband has to put his wife before himself. Likewise, I think, in any relationship, we gotta put that someone before ourselves, then it will be a meaningful relationship.

3. Revenge is just a poison killing no one but ourselves.

4. Work will always got in a way of a relationship. Especially work that comes in the forms of telecommunication i.e. cell phones. *chuckled*

5. When troubles come in a relationship, people work things out instead of walk away. Unless you are forced by the Goblin Junior.

6. Love to the children can be the highest form of love on earth.

7. Proposal, should and must be done, in a proper way venue with a proper way thought properly (remind me to teach Azeuchry this when he has a girlfriend). And saying that it is not Asian Culture is a definitely a No-No.

So long!
