Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

  Chapter 368 "Spider-Man 3" (End)

When Li Zi, who played Harry Osborn on the screen, had bulging veins in his neck, his eyes were bloodshot and red, and his face was distorted and ferocious, like Hoover's upper body, wanting to tear everything apart, the guests present didn't think his acting skills were exaggerated. Instead I feel—

  He's a little pathetic.

Although Peter Parker's experience was indeed worse than that of Harry Osborn, because from the obvious point of view, Peter Parker's uncle, girlfriend, and father-in-law were all killed, while Harry Osborn only lost one father , but from the perspective of Harry Osborn, the whole thing has changed drastically, because from his standpoint, it is that the brother who suffered the same tragedy as himself chose his own woman. On his body, he found his own warmth in the severe winter.

   This kind of anger stems from betrayal.

   But this kind of betrayal was not caused by Mary Jane, but by Peter Parker.

At this moment, Harry Osborn's resentment was not that Mary Jane chose Peter Parker in the end, but that he didn't understand why Peter Parker, whom he called a brother and brother, stabbed himself in the back when he was facing a difficult situation. .

   What makes him uncomfortable is that the guy he once regarded as his best brother also left him!

   What he despaired of was that with the departure of his good brother, he finally became a loner!

If Harry Osborn still had kindness in his heart when he was baptized by the potion, then now, when he finds out that the whole world has betrayed him, the sudden desolation makes his life It doesn't make sense either!

   There is no intention of rushing forward to confront.

   gave up the last struggle.

   Pull down the handbrake.

   walk away.

  When the scarlet taillights disappeared into the vast rainy night, it was as heavy as a boulder, pressing on the hearts of the moviegoers.

"Misunderstanding! It all stems from a misunderstanding!" "Variety" columnist Derek Ellie said with emotion: "Peter Parker let Mary -Jane went to inquire about the situation of Osborn's technology, if Harry Osborn could figure out all this, then he wouldn't be as sad and angry as he is now."

   "That's right! If Peter Parker had asked himself, then the pain now would not have appeared on Harry Osborn."

  The editor-in-chief of "Empire" sighed, the plot on the screen made him feel sad.

  However, before he could organize his words and speak highly of the lyrical core of the commercial film in front of him, Kenneth Turan gave a negative opinion, saying: "No, no, Peter Parker can't ask himself."

   "Because it would only expose him."

   "He never revealed to Harry Osborn that he is Spider-Man."

   "But only Spider-Man and the federal military know that the equipment of the Green Goblin comes from Osborn technology."

   "So, as long as Peter Parker asks, he is revealing his identity. At that time, things will be even more troublesome."

   "After all, in the eyes of Harry Osborn, Spider-Man is the starting point of all tragedies."

"If there was no such accident as Spider-Man, then the federal military would not force Harry Osborn's father, Norman Osborn, to hand over the finished serum within a limited time, nor would Norman Osborn Because of keeping the company, Dr. Lizard was forced to speed up the research and development progress. If Dr. Lizard did not speed up the research and development and skip the safety experiment process, then he would not be mutated. If Dr. Lizard did not exist, the New York War would also become an illusion. Gwen Stacy's father George Stacy will not die, Osborne technology will not be pushed to the forefront, Norman Osborn will not have to take undeveloped medicine, Dr. Octopus and the Green Goblin will also It won't happen, the Battle of the Brooklyn Bridge won't exist, Gwen Stacy won't have to die, the ghost will disappear, Mary Jane will still be wooed by Harry Osborn..."

   "So, up to now, whether it is Peter Parker or Mary Jane, the situation is the same."

   "Perhaps, this is their fate..."

   "And this, isn't it the charm of the whole series?"

  "When the villains have their own souls, the entire series has become a classic."

   "But at the same time, they are also facing a problem..."

   "How to make the ending more shocking." Roger Ebert added before Kenneth Turan could finish speaking.

  As his voice fell, there was even a sigh of relief.

Yes.

For the guests present, when "Spider-Man 2" ended, after seeing Peter Parker throwing away Spider-Man's suit, they had actually guessed the ending of "Spider-Man 3"-Peter Parker will return the king, save the world.

   Or in other words, the creation purpose of the assembly line works based on the Hollywood industrial system is always the victory of justice over evil.

   And in this case, all the suppression is actually for the final outbreak.

  Peter Parker's numbness at the beginning is for a better comeback at the end!

  Peter Parker's concern for his brothers when the evil spirits destroyed New York was to finally cut off the fetters around him!

  Harry Osborn's blackening is to allow Peter Parker to better remove the last stumbling block on the road to a hero!

   But after all of this is staged perfectly, and even Harry Osborn has shown his character charm, it is even more difficult to reflect the final arrival of Spider-Man, because everything is afraid of comparison!

If Harry Osborn is just like the master in "Jiang Ziya", a paper character who only uses a few words to interpret the hypocritical image of saving the common people, then Peter Parker will arrest him Killing is the climax of the plot!

But when all things come together by accident, and Harry Osborn, like Peter Parker, is just a poor man played by fate, the more attractive Harry Osborn is, the final ending will also be The harder it is to show!

If it is solved hastily and let Spider-Man arrest the evil spirit and the green goblin, even if the special effects are perfect, it will make people regret that the charm of Harry Osborn is wasted, but if it is handled in a serious way, it will be fun. It's even bigger.

  Because there are only two ways to seriously deal with the plot when the villain forms a personal charm.

  One, let Harry Osborn recognize the cause of all events, turn to goodness again, and choose to commit suicide.

  Taking his life as the impetus, while washing him, let Peter Parker continue to walk on the road of being a hero.

  But this kind of ending will infinitely elevate Harry Osborn's image.

  The whole movie should not be called "Spider-Man 3", but "Green Goblin 3".

  As for the second plan, it is also for Harry Osborn to find out the truth of the incident, but instead of being good again, he will continue to take revenge and gather all the hatred on Peter Parker.

  At this time, the evil spirits also joined in. After discovering that these two guys were planning to destroy New York, Peter Parker, who was one against two, lured them to move the battlefield, and finally died with them...

  This plan is based on Peter Parker's life as a driving force, so that he who chooses to become a hero dies in the hero's home.

  Like at the end of The Dark Knight Returns, Batman leaves with a bomb.

  It's like the big **** snapping his fingers at the end of "Avengers 4".

  If sacrificing one of me can save the whole world, why not do it?

  But this kind of ending, although in line with James Cameron's shooting habits of the dead male protagonist, but...

   It really doesn't fit the shooting routines of commercial films.

  Although the idea of ​​the film has been elevated and the character's personality has been sublimated, the audience will not feel refreshed at all.

   And once the audience is unhappy watching, then—

   Where did the box office come from?

It is precisely because the guests present have read enough of the film that they can see the problems the film faces, and just as they speculate, what method will James Cameron use to satisfy Roland Allen's fans and make him feel happy? When retiring in a glorious manner, the plot of "Spider-Man 3" after all the characters gathered is advancing rapidly.

  Harry Osborn, who returned to Osborn Technology, stepped up research and development, and wanted to manufacture his father's armor and aircraft.

   Peter Parker, who did not get a satisfactory result, sent Mary Jane home, and walked back with a sad face.

   At the same time, the evil spirit also hooked up with Kingpin, who attacked and killed the police chief of New York City at the beginning of the film, because he wanted to know—"Is everything you said before true? Is Spider-Man really dead?"

   Roderick Kingsley, who was wearing a ghost uniform, asked sullenly.

  Wearing a white suit and holding a black cane, Jin was not intimidated by his appearance, but asked a question instead.

   "Why are you looking for him?"

   "Because the people of New York don't believe what you say."

  The evil spirit didn’t mean to hide anything. While smiling wickedly, he said, “As long as Spider-Man’s body doesn’t appear for a day, people won’t believe in his death. As long as they don’t believe in Spider-Man’s death, there will be hope in their hearts…”

   "If he is really not dead, I will find him and defeat him!"

   "Because only in this way, the sky above New York City will be filled with my legend!"

   The reason why Roderick Kingsley named himself the Devil was to make the world feel his fear.

  The best way to create fear is to completely destroy hope.

   Such words made Jin Bing smile knowingly, and after giving an affirmative answer, things became simpler.

Knowing that Spider-Man was not actually dead, the evil spirit carefully planned the second attack, but when he stepped on the flying machine, threw a pumpkin bomb, and flew wantonly over New York, trying to lure Spider-Man out, he had just finished the equipment The Green Goblin II appeared.

Although Spider-Man is the number one enemy of Green Goblin II, for him, the messy evil spirits who snatched his father's relics and transformed them are equally hateful. That's the right way!

   As for joining forces with enemies?

Do not make jokes!

  Have you seen Wang Bang Xipo cover email?

  People can't wait to shake it out!

  When the Green Goblin II appeared, Peter Parker, who was still guessing whether the evil spirit was related to Osborn technology, was completely dumbfounded.

  Because of this situation, he has seen it before!

  Three years ago, because of Dr. Lizard's loss of control, Norman Osborn put on the equipment of the Green Goblin!

  And now, because of the loss of Osborne Group's technology, Harry Osborn has also followed his father's path?

   This, this, this...

   What about this?

   While Peter Parker was having a hard time making a decision, the feedback from the outside world showed no sign of delay, and he arrived in time.

  When the citizens of New York saw the reappearance of the Green Goblin who was declared dead three months ago, the fear shrouded in haze came again.

If one evil spirit made them feel that something was wrong, then when the green goblin with similar abilities appeared, the ensuing despair enveloped the entire city, and the panic was like a virus, crying out. longing for salvation.

  At this moment, New York is like a patient who has been given a reprieve by a doctor.

  Superheroes are the antidote, but they...

  No money.

  When the sadness spread to Peter Parker, the young man in his twenties remembered his uncle's advice, but when he was struggling to make a decision, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

  The jingle of the phone ringing is a life-saving straw for Peter Parker, because he can suspend making a decision.

  But when he pressed the answer button, longing for the guy on the other end of the phone to make the process of suspending the decision infinitely long, Mary Jane who called gave him a fatal blow.

   It turned out that Harry Osborn, who became the Green Goblin II, dialed Mary Jane's phone after fighting the evil spirits to no avail.

   On the phone, Harry Osborn said everything.

"He said, he knows that I don't love him, and he always knew that the person I like is you, but because of Gwen's existence, everyone is just playing around, and now, with Gwen's departure, we There should be a result."

   "He also said that when he saw me with you, he was actually very happy. The guy he liked finally found someone who liked him. This result was actually a very happy ending for him."

   "However, he is still a little unhappy, because I have used him as a tool man for three years."

   "So, he hopes that I can sincerely apologize to him."

   "And the time, just this evening, he said he would come to me, and then asked me to treat him to a meal."

   "Since he has already let go, then I think, how about the two of us go together?"

   "In this way, all previous misunderstandings can be resolved."

   "By the way, don't you care about him? If you have time today, let's make it clear together..."

  When Mary Jane relayed Harry Osborne's inexplicable attitude to Peter Parker, he was answering the phone with cold hands and feet! Because he knew Harry Osborn! Because this kind of letting go is simply not something Harry Osborn can do!

   Unless there is a major change, a person will never do something against his nature, and now, Harry Osborn is wearing his father's armor, which means...

   "Where are you now?" Peter Parker, who was suddenly startled, asked anxiously.

   "I'm at home." Mary Jane heard the abnormality, "What's the matter? Do you think it's bad for Harry?"

   "But the problem is, now he is the one who proposed to let go!"

   "No, no, no..." Peter Parker ignored Mary Jane's conjecture, and asked directly, "Did you tell Harry that you were at home?"

   "Yes." Mary-Jane replied affirmatively.

"When did this happen?"

"just."

   "Just now?" Peter Parker raised his hand and glanced at his watch. Seeing that it was already five o'clock, his complexion became even uglier. "Hurry up, hurry up! Get out of the house quickly! Get out of the house!"

   "What?" Mary Jane was puzzled, "Why did I leave home? Harry will come to me soon!"

   "No! You have to leave home now!" Peter Parker once again felt the pain of concealing his identity, "You...you came to my house directly to find me...yes! You came to my house! I will go with you!"

   "But Harry..."

   Before Mary Jane could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Peter Parker, "I'll explain to Harry! You can just come here!"

"No...you're so weird today?" Mary Jane was a little puzzled, but she was still planning to go to the other party first according to what Peter Parker said. However, just as she was about to go out with her bag, there was a knock on the door , let her look surprised.

   "Oh~ Parker, it seems like it's too late." Mary Jane said into the phone with her phone in her hands.

   "What? What's too late?" Peter Parker's hairs stood on end.

   "Because Harry is here!"

  Mary Jane opened the door of her house, and the figure bathed in sunlight but full of darkness made her smile.

Such words were also heard by Harry Osborn. When he learned that Mary Jane had called Peter Parker, he asked Mary Jane with a half-smile and passed the phone, and then said The brother on the other end of the phone said hello.

   "Peter, long time no see, how are you?"

Before the stiff Peter Parker could respond, Harry Osborne said: "I'm sorry about Gwen, but if I remember correctly, she fell from the Brooklyn Bridge three months ago. , and died on his back?"

   "I heard that Spider-Man was there at the time, but he just couldn't save her from Doctor Octopus and the Green Goblin."

"Why…"

   "You said, if Spider-Man is not around, can anyone save Mary-Jane from the Green Goblin?"

   Chi Guoguo's threat made Peter Parker feel cold, "Harry, what do you mean?"

   "What do I mean?"

   "You asked me what I meant when you were with Mary-Jane when you knew I liked her?"

  'Patter! '

   After saying this, Harry Osborn hung up the phone.

  And the emotionless ultimatum drove the escaped Peter Parker, who didn't want to be a hero, into madness!

  Three months ago, when he threw away the Spider-Man suit, he just felt that being a hero made him lose everything!

  He hates his abilities!

  He hates the price of ability!

  He wants to keep his friends around him from being affected!

  He hopes that everything that remains can continue better!

   But now?

  The friends around him forced him to go back to the original point!

  If giving up the hero's identity will result in the death of a friend, then what's the point of giving up?

  The so-called protection is just wishful thinking for him to avoid responsibility!

  When he put on the Spider-Man suit and announced his existence to the outside world, he could no longer turn back!

   Now, it is no longer a matter of whether he wants to be a hero or not, but that he must do what a hero should do!

  Maybe he lost everything when he saved the world, but if he doesn't save it, he will lose everything too!

at the same time…

  The world will also lose hope.

When Peter Parker came to his senses and was so annoyed that he wanted to blame himself for what he had done in the past three months, the latest news was broadcast on the big media screen in front of him. The evil spirits attacked New York again. To draw out Spider-Man, a child at the scene was staggering towards him in a Spider-Man cosplay, wanting to confront him.

   After this scene appeared in front of Peter Parker, the tears had burst into tears.

   This guy who's been a hero since he was sixteen...

   Finally grown up!

  Although the next half hour is the only fighting scene related to the protagonist in the entire film, the wonderful pictures cannot conceal people's loss, and the passionate music cannot erase the sadness brought about by the plot.

  It's like the end credits of "Wolverine 3: Mortal War".

  Even if the fighting scenes are out of balance, the audience will still cry until they explode, because the feelings...

   is the most valuable thing!

   And wait for Peter Parker to kill the evil spirits who want to destroy New York, personally send Harry Osborn who has fallen into madness to prison, and save the Mary Jane who has always liked him...

   This time, he didn't choose to hide it.

On the top of the Empire State Building, Peter Parker, who took off his hood, told Mary Jane everything before, and after Mary Jane heard what happened to Peter Parker in the past three years, she finally understood why this guy always deny yourself.

   "You are afraid that after your identity is exposed, we will be implicated by you and fall into a desperate situation, right?"

   "Yes." Peter Parker nodded.

   "Then why are you telling me now?"

   "Because I found that even if I don't tell you the facts, you will face danger, and at that time, you who don't know the facts will be more passive." Peter Parker said truthfully.

  Such words made Mary Jane laugh, "So that means, you accept me?"

   "Accept?" Peter Parker was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No."

   "Why?" Mary Jane was shocked, "We have all gone through so much, are you still unwilling to accept me?"

   Hearing the anxious and angry words, Peter Parker had a smile on his cheek. He turned silently while he was looking at Mary Jane, and looked down at the whole New York.

  Under the shadow of the setting sun, the golden world is so beautiful.

Putting the hood on his forehead and slowly pulling it down, he explained: "Since I was bitten by a mutated spider, the life of ordinary people has left me. I didn't understand it at the time. I was a teenager. Why do I have to carry this heavy weight that does not belong to me, but after I have experienced so many things, I discovered that while the spider gave me abilities, it also changed my genes. Me, the DNA in my body is no longer DNA, but USA."

   "Peter Parker may be able to give you happiness, but I am no longer just him."

   Speaking of which, he had already put on his mask, turned his head and glanced at Mary Jane, then jumped and jumped off the Empire State Building.

   "I am Spider-Man."

  'Crack! '

  When the sound of the clip sounded, the figure dangling in the air was frozen.
