    Spiderman-A Brand New Day- a film of identity and resilience

    ByJustpaste.in

    “I am not just Peter Parker, I am Spiderman, and sometimes Spiderman has to do hard things, leaving Peter Parker’s heart broken.” This sentence lies at the heart of the film. Spiderman must help the people of New York even if that comes at the cost of his personal happiness. He has distanced himself from those he used to know, such as his girlfriend MJ and his friend Ned. Spider-Man: A Brand New Day has been directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and is a Marvel Studios production. It falls into the genre of action, sci-fi and adventure. With a runtime of 2 hours and 24 minutes, it has been rated at 8.2/10 on IMDB. The plot is a fight of good against evil. The damage control centre kills Sarah, Jean’s sister, for her special powers. Jean is in their imprisonment. Bill, the director of Damage Control, seeks Spider-Man’s help to eliminate Jean. Spiderman does not know the truth, and he helps Bill. What is the truth? Will Spider-Man find out in time? The film follows a flashback where Jean and Sarah are together, and the damage control employees kidnap Sarah. The damage control is after V. Max, and no one knows what it is. Jean possesses extraordinary psychic abilities. Jean can get into people’s minds. She can control their minds and possess them. She has powers she cannot curb. As Spiderman follows the trail and puts two and two together, he realises Bill was the real culprit. As Jean tries to destroy Bill, Spiderman convinces her not to. Once again, the film shows that Spider-Man’s greatest strength is compassion and not brute force. Spiderman helps Jean understand the healing power of love. He promises to stay by her side. In the subplot is Peter Parker’s romantic relationship with MJ (Zendaya). The relationship on the verge of destruction is restored as MJ remembers the time she spent with Peter. Spiderman is severely injured at the end, and as Jean uses her magical powers to cure him, she is successful. The film offers a bit of comic relief when Spider-Man exits the hospital without being noticed. It sends the audience into peals of laughter. The characterisation is superb. Tom Holland’s (Peter Parker) performance is outstanding. Tom appears as a more mature Spider-Man who carries the burden of immense personal sacrifice without losing his compassion and sense of humour. Zendaya (MJ) also spontaneously delivers her role. The chemistry between the two is striking despite the heartbreaking distance between them. Visually, the film is spectacular. The web singing sequences through NewYork are exhilarating, and the cinematography is great. The thematic concerns are of identity, sacrifice, loneliness and hope. Peter’s struggle to rebuild his life after having lost everything makes him more relatable than ever. Spiderman- A Brand New Day follows the film Spiderman: No Way Home, documenting Peter Parker’s journey since then. As Parker is faced with a choice to either be Spiderman or Peter he chooses to be both. At the end, the film promises another movie, calling it Spiderman Returns. On the whole, Spiderman: A Brand New Day is a story about resilience and selflessness, and it remains true to the character of  Spiderman. It delivers thrilling action and heartfelt performances. A great film that deserves applause. So grab your tickets before they run out!

  • Rosario Dawson’s return was cut from Spider-Man: Brand New Day

    ByJustpaste.in

    Rosario Dawson revealed that her return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe was cut from the final edit of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Marvel fans are reacting to news from a recent comic convention. During a Daredevil panel at GalaxyCon, Dawson shared that she had suited up once more as Claire Temple. She was the street-smart nurse who famously stitched up Earth’s mightiest vigilantes across Netflix’s Defenders saga. A fan asked which superhero she would love to share the screen with. Dawson dropped the unexpected news: I even shot a scene in the new Spider-Man movie, but I got cut out. The revelation drew groans from the audience, but Dawson kept the mood light by sharing her mother’s hilarious, priorities-skewed reaction to the bad news. I told my mom, and she was like, ‘That sucks. Now I can’t post the pictures,’ Dawson laughed. She recalled how she reminded her mother that her social media feed wasn’t the main tragedy. ‘Right, Mom. Me being cut out of the movie that has the largest viewership of a trailer ever… the issue is you can’t post your BTS photos’. The sequence reportedly involved Claire treating Tom Holland’s Peter Parker following a brutal fight with Scorpion. However, screenwriters Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers noted that while the scene was great, it was ultimately excised to tighten up the movie’s bloated runtime. The cut hit extra close to home for Dawson due to her deep personal connections to the webslinger. Her uncle Gus, a comic book artist, helped her to ignite her love. He did so by teaching her that Spider-Man was the very first character he ever learned to draw. To top off coincidences, a recent comic featured a young Peter Parker attended PS19 in the Lower East Side. The exact same elementary school Dawson attended as a child. Dawson was so excited about the project that she had an entire social media post lined up, complete with behind-the-scenes snaps of her grandson decked out in Spidey gear. Then I got the email, she joked, calling herself a reject of Spider-Man. Even with the setback, Dawson remains optimistic. Marvel is leaning back into its street-level roots. This gives her hope that Claire Temple’s medical kit isn’t packed away. My character is somewhere in that same universe, and I really love that, Dawson concluded. I hope I get to be Claire again.
