Creative team: Popcorn movie can also win Oscars
The amazing data of "Spider-Man 3" makes it seem to be a strong contender for the Oscar's best picture nomination, but the blockbuster superhero movie is not seen by the Oscar judges. Gotta be popular. So far, only one superhero movie adapted from a comic book has been nominated for best picture. It was not 2008's "Iron Man", nor 2019's "Avengers 4", but 2018's "" Black Panther 》. However, this time the creative team of "Spider-Man 3" includes many members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and they all have experience in competing for Oscar awards. In their opinion, the artistry of "Spider-Man 3" has the ability to be nominated for an Oscar.
"Spider-Man 3" star Tom Holland mentioned: "I have made Marvel movies and I have made movies that are discussed by the Oscars. The only difference is that one is much more expensive than the other. But I break down The way the characters are portrayed, the way the director portrays the story and the characters is all the same, it's just a different scale, so I think it's both real art," said Tom Rothman, current chairman of Sony. A similar view is held by Rothman, who served as an executive at Fox and participated in the distribution of the Oscar-winning film "Titanic" and the Oscar-nominated "Avatar." He believes: "High-quality commercialism is really difficult to achieve. But "No Return" is a great movie. I think it is great that art films are being recognized now (at the Oscars), but is high Quality commercial movies should not be excluded. We must overcome people's prejudices about the film's success.
The "Spider-Man 3" team is unanimously optimistic that today's movies will be better than they were a few years ago. The Oscars prefer to recognize high-quality popcorn movies. "That's why they expanded the Best Picture award to 10 movies, exactly in this case." Rothman believes so. At the same time, the team believes that "Spider-Man 3" is also closely related to today's world and presents some important values."This movie is about personal sacrifice for the greater good," producer Amy Pascal said: "This kind of sacrifice has always been a theme of Spider-Man. But I think this movie in particular highlights that. You can’t have true heroism without sacrifice, and that’s what makes this movie so moving.”
Comments: Moved or disappointed. ?
"Spider-Man 3" received partial recognition for its touching plot. After attending the premiere, Pete Hammond, chief film critic of Deadline Hollywood, believed that "No Home" is the climax of the entire Spider-Man series, and it brings us back to Spider-Man (Tom Holland), adding a refreshing charm and authenticity to the Spider-Man previously played by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. style.
The third Spider-Man
Hammond had nothing but praise for "Spider-Man 3". He believed that "this movie does what the best movies do: they make you excited, they make you move, and they make you want to be there." Cheers in packed theaters Against the backdrop of the pandemic, the film is more than just a festival for moviegoers. Day gift, and a holiday gift to exhibitors, because if ever there was a movie poised to save the movie industry - just like Spider-Man always saves the world - it's this masterfully crafted 'End Game.'"
Plus, movie review. Elamin Abdul Mahmoud Abdelmahmoud also believes that Spider-Man 3 elegantly and easily resolves the debate over who is the "best" Spider-Man compared to : "They all have different tragedies, and you can't compare them, but you can solve them, So everyone finds an ending. At the same time, Mahmoud believes that "Spider-Man 3" also solves the core question that the previous movies "have always revolved around but did not fully answer: What does Spider-Man do?" It seems that he thinks "Spider-Man 3" is good.
However, "Spider-Man 3"'s "resolution" of these problems will still be considered problematic. Although film critic Shannon Keating recognized "Spider-Man 3" as its answer to the character of Spider-Man, he was quite critical of its handling. He thinks Spider-Man 3 is very confusing in expressing what it means to be a good guy, "I find that all of the Spider-Man's are able to create the perfect antidote to turn their respective villains back into normal people, and in this way situations where they seem to deserve to be redeemed, which is both thematically and practically stupidly silly that a lot of superhero movies exhibit. It shows justice and dedication, but it will not be as clumsy as "No Home"."
At the same time, Keating believes that "Spider-Man 3" abandons the previous "Spider-Man" to be closer to the gritty New York reality of . ism , which gives it the feel of a Disney animation - shiny, wholesome, sexless - and looks straight out of a children's movie. "I didn't get a lot of big, emotional shakes from 'No Home', even with that significant and sad death."
