Current Review: Thoughts on the Oscar-winning animated feature film "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse"

Chen Yijing, No. 21, Class 1, Grade 1

When "Black Panther" "When it was nominated for an Oscar, it was predictably ridiculed - because it was just a popcorn movie with special effects and no emotion. How can the connotation and depth of the superhero film series be compared with the heaviness of many literary and historical films? But if I tell you that there is a very exciting and worth-watching superhero movie in 2018, and it is also an animated film, you will definitely think that I am talking nonsense.

First of all, "Spider-Man - Parallel Universe" is a stop-motion animation. It uses frame extraction techniques to reduce the number of frames from 24 to 12. In human terms, it combines the visual effects of paper comics with Animation and special effects are integrated together: spliced ??color blocks, mosaic effects, everything you can think of and things you can't imagine, all rush into your eyes. Character dialogues, psychological activities, and lyrics all pop out of the dialog box one by one. You can have the sense of déjà vu from Spider-Man comics on the big screen.

Next, let’s talk about its plot: Peter Parker died in the line of duty as soon as the film started, and Miles, the little black spider from Brooklyn, will replace Parker and become the new Spider-Man. But he was only fifteen years old after being bitten by a spider. He was in adolescence, had a tense relationship with his father, couldn't control his super powers, and lost his only uncle who understood him but was also a villain. Miles' life fell apart overnight. He was at a loss and said, "How about I just be an ordinary kid? The police will fight against evil, and the earth will not be destroyed so quickly." However, when he faced Spider-Man from five other parallel universes, eager to go home - they are Spider-Man Peter Parker who is in mid-life crisis, Spider-Woman Gwen Stacy, the Dark Spider-Man of the 1930s, the Japanese girl Penny... Parker and a Spider-Pig, Miles is determined to become the masked hero. With the help of his friends, Miles gradually regained his confidence and saved the world.

Although the plot is simple, the style of the movie is diverse - Japan's two-dimensional culture, the image of the detective on the edge of justice in film noir, etc. are mixed with the bustling New York of the main universe and the cool imagination of the future world. The most noteworthy thing is that compared to Avengers 3, so many styles of painting are not stiff at all. The duration of each one is just right, and the theme conveyed is also very pure and straightforward. From the Queens man who liked to eat sandwiches, didn't like going to class, had a crush on Mary Jane but still lost her, to the current Brooke who wears AJs, cares about the opinions of his peers, has the troubles of adolescence, and catches Gwen at an important moment Woodland Boy, the unchanging spiritual core is that civilian hero, that "your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man". As they say themselves "It doesn't matter who is behind the mask - it can be anyone, anyone."

In fact, each of us has had or is having a superhero dream. Even though life is a mess and we ourselves are very ordinary, once we see a part of ourselves in the protagonist, we will more or less find the courage and confidence to upgrade and fight monsters in real life.

So you have to believe that the spider suit will always fit you.
