Amazing Spiderman: No Way Home

 

In No Way Home, as the unstoppable chaos and wildness were in full swing, it was the spidey movie to witness how hard the three Peter Parkers (the Holy Trinity?) tried to "crawl" down the Via Dolorosa, the Path to the Cross, with the deep-down sense of responsibility, the inevitable regrets, and for their own different undone redemptions, considering the Iron Spider suit (as a gift given by the God/father/godfather figure Tony Stark), deliberately designed to showcase the intention that one literally had the big claws/cross to bear (which implicated the stiff back problem since the other two Spider-Men might also carry the burden of the cross in the swinging), and meanwhile the four tentacles Doc Ock possessed on his back, another huge and figurative cross unable to be laid down, visually embodying the spirit of the cross not only to bind and block Peter at the start, but to liberate him later on, to give him "a hand" on his way of sorrows, by forgoing the ones he cared for, then being forgiven and at last being forgotten.

The nostalgia and the fans' affections for the supervillains and for the original leading actors brought recurrent applause in the audience, rowdy and cheering to pay tribute to sublime Willem Dafoe, talented and unexpectedly amazing Andrew Garfield, admirable Tobey Maguire and such a solitary spidey boy whom PP was destined from his birth to be in the end. Yet, what got me deeply emotional was when marvelous Michael Giacchino briefly reprised the Spider-Man main theme composed by divine Danny Elfman at the moment Tobey's PP was faced with his old wound and duty, which at the same time recapped and reminded the spectators of my generation how high the bar the master storyteller Sam Raimi set for the original Spider-Man trilogy is, despite the following reboots, hence the excitement of upcoming Doctor Strange in the MoM.

PS
1. The BT cinema seat was so comfy for a popcorn movie.
2. The US audience was so spontaneous in a movie, hooting and hollering for celebration as in a sports game.
3. For a 3D movie, some scenes were just way too dark to see anything at all.
4. The villains, again, like in the former spidey movie sequels, were rather too many to be properly re-introduced.
