Spider-Man 2

one of my micro goals is to show my gratitude to things i truly love and im passionate about so here i am trying to put into words my appreciation for this movie  for me it’s not just a movie about some spider superhero guy  i think it’s very downplaying to treat a masterpiece of a film like this  sam raimi in a beautiful (even kinda mythic for me) 2000’s New York City portrays a struggling young man who’s trying to find his place in this world the opening scene is us seeing those big blue eyes of mary jane  which i think it’s perfect cause throughout the whole movie the thing that is keeping peter going back and fourth between being a normal guy and spiderman is his love for mary jane  the first time peter lost his superpowers and was dragging his motorcycle through the street  he’s walking by a big wall full of MJ’s faces which is probably my fav shot of this movie  cause after every failure or setback he only think about the thing he craves the most  which is love and oh boy this love is very flawed (i could write stuff about mj being a hoe but i’m not gonna do that lol i’m not here to hate) like basically every aspect of peter’s life  the grief after his father figure death who peter blames himself for seeing his aunt struggling failing as a friend  failing his classes and trying to work 2 jobs  while being spiderman all this has lead to peter going to a doctor and taking a shot at explaining that in his dream or his friends dream he losing his powers as spiderman  he climbing those walls but he keeps falling doctor asked what does he think of himself in that moment peter says “that’s the problem, he doesn’t know what to think” doc answered kind of makes you mad not to know who you are?  your soul disappears, nothing is bad as uncertainty.  which is so fucking good i love that scene  and that’s why this movie for me is the greatest superhero movie ever and one of my favorite watches tobey maguire’s peter parker is so relatable  we all trynna find our places  we all trynna find love  we all struggle but like aunt may said i believe there’s a hero in all of us  that’s the beauty of this film  the perfectly executed shots  the beautiful nyc the best superhero soundtracks ever by Danny Elfman  yo and i didn’t even mentioned the best, most aura moment ever  the train scene is the best fucking fighting scene ever  every time i watch this scene i’m spiritually back as my 6 year old self watching this and getting hyped i’m thankful for my pops who showed me this gem the scene is truly incredible like many scenes in this movie and ofc objectively speaking this movie is not perfect tobey is not the best spiderman actor doc ock is not even the best villain in the raimi trilogy  it’s not as good as the TDK it’s not packed like infinity war and it’s not even the best spiderman movie cause spider verse joints got it but i love it so much  it’s perfect for me every time i watch it i feel inspired  i feel motivated knowing that even spiderman struggles but he’s still going  he got to  -cloud✌🏽
