Spider-man 3
Spider-Man 3
It is a movie that cost around two and half hour
and I swear that I never leave my seat during this movie, as I was not able to
leave my seat – the movie attracted me so well!
(I am a “banyak kencing” guy, where I always need to pee, even during
exam that is only one hour, I will go out for toilet, not for smoking for sure,
but for peeing, at least once! It is my uncontrolled “habit”, you may think
that it is troubling, but, what I can do? But, recently, a lovely mother of my
friend, she sent me to see Chinese doctor, and I was given some traditional
herbs. According to her mum, I am having some sort of “diseases” that attacking
my bladder, sound terrify isn’t it?)
Sorry, for going too far, again! (I am always
having this habit, I am afraid that, it might affect my teaching lesson next
time, because I will always out of topic. Opps, again, I was going too far,
sorry.)
…… I found that I am having problem in writing a good blog in this
topic, I mean I am so poor in English, as I am facing problem to explain and
describe the best of this movie. I mean I’m lack of vocabulary for writing a
description about this good movie! I did
think to write this blog (about Spider-man 3) in mandarin at first, but, for a
very important reason, I write it in English – Most of us can read English
language, aren’t you? Anyway, I will try my best to write about this movie, so
that more and more people didn’t loss the good chance for watching a fantastic
movie like Spider-man 3……
K, what are the main issues/lessons brought to me through Spider-man 3?
1) Decision
making
Peter Pakler, the main character in this story (sorry,
if it is wrong in spelling, anyway, I will use Peter after this) have to decide either he want to be a normal
spider-man (in red-blue) with a “weaker” power or be a bad one (in black
color), but with a stronger body. It is very trouble him, at least he was
confusing what to choose. I did wish he read my blog that I post a few days
ago, in the topic “Making Decision – Decision Making”. It might help him to
make decision. (Aiyo, why I am promoting my other blog here?) But, a hero will
always be a hero, a good one! He made a decision to throw this “bad-spirit”
away; even he did misuse this spirit two times in this movie – when he want to
take revenge on the murder who killed his uncle after robbing a bank At the
second case, he misused the extra bad power on his best friend, Harry as he
“snatched” his girl friend, Marry Jane (MJ). It was all about taking revenge, a
kind of “poisoned” feeling, according to aunt May, aunt of Peter.
In this case, there is an issue arisen – Are we
supposed to take revenge? Some will say that, the bad person who done the
mistake especially who hurt us should be punished. Are you one of them? I
admitted I was one of them, I always with this principle, I believed and agreed,
and maybe it is just because I am Libraian, where the people in this horoscope
will always look for fairness and balance. But, this meaningful movie reminds
me that, taking revenge is just a poisoned feeling, it will bring suffer to us.
A long term suffers, as our emotion will not stable when we start to plan for
revenge, after revenge, we might contented for a very short moment, but after
all, what we get? An empty soul.
Harry, on the other hand, too had confused either
he should take revenge on Peter or not, as Harry believed that, Peter is the
one who killed his father, his only relative. Peter is his friend, should he do
such an action just for his dad? But, Peter killed his dad, he should be punished, aren’t him?
2) Critic
VS Praise
“You said the word -
Great” MJ was so happy when she gets the positive feed back from her boyfriend,
Peter – “you are so great”. But, on the other hand, there are so many papers
critic on her show. “She is beautiful, but with small voice”. Her emotion was
fussed by this critic, she felt hurt, but she has no chance share this unhappy
with Peter. She was unemployed just because of this critic, poor MJ.
For me, we have to take
the critic as a force that drives us farer. Should not unhappy or fall down
just because of the critics. Take it easy, think positively that, there is
still a person who wants us to improve, by critic us. Maybe, the way they talk
to us might hurt us, but, come to the basic, the critic us just because they
are seeking our improvement. We are still lucky compared to the drug addicts
who live meaninglessly in the dark and dirty streets. Who care for them? Who
will dare to talk to them, to critic them face to face? Appreciate and be
thankful for the positive critic, believe me, no harm to do so. Then, look for
improvement for ourselves.
While MJ was critic by
the media and lost her lovely job, Peter on the other side, is getting
commendation (praise). He is the superhero for all the New
York’s residents, not only the kids, but all the people in New York. His spidey
face is in all the newspapers, his name is appearing in the big screen of New York’s streets, his
stories became the topic of discussion among American. Peter was so happy. He
satisfied as what he done was recognized by others. Who will not in happy mode
when being praised?
We was trained by the
“good then reward, bad then punish” system. A lot of educators claimed that
this is an effective way to educate our kids. I am not totally agree with this,
just like Peter’s case, he became so proud of himself after a long period of
being praised. He willing to kissed his lab mate, a beautiful and sexy girl as
asked by the public, without consider about the feeling of his girlfriend, MJ.
At that moment he kissed the girl, he just know that, this request cannot be
rejected, since he is the best ever hero. You may say that he done nothing
wrong by kissing his lab mate, but, who know, Peter might do some other things
that just in the purpose to satisfy his desire to become more popular in the
society?
3) Forgiveness
This is an important values that should be “grown” in our mind and body from the day we born. A bit incredible, I know. But, it’s true, without forgiveness you can’t be happy! Why I say so? There are so my cases happened to me, where somebody argued/ angered at me, somebody hurt me by saying out some dirty words, somebody doing some bad things on me. I try and I will accept it. What for I angry or sad or unhappy with them? Feel uncomfortable with all such things are wasting the spaces in my heart. They didn’t worth to be kept in my heart!
Not means that I will let him/her continue to “abuse” me. I will stand up for my right too!
They are people who are seeking our forgiveness too. Just like Sandman in the movie, he asked Spiderman to forgive him as he killed his uncle. His lovely uncle died after shoot by Sandman’s gang after robbing the bank. Spiderman know his situation at last and forgave him as Sandman needs the money to cure his daughter.
Peter brought his lab mate, the sexy girl to the pub where MJ works with. He dances with the girl in front of MJ. He wants to break her feeling there. MJ felt shock with her boyfriend’s way of treating her. But, MJ forgave Peter at last, she knows Peter is a good person and he love her.
Spiderman forgave Sandman for his mistake. MJ forgave Peter for his wrong doing. Malays have the culture – “saling maaf-bermaafan” (forgive and ask for forgiveness) during Raya. I will forgive those who hurt me. Will you the next person who forgive other?
I think, that was the
three
issues that reach my mind. There might be more issues or lessons that I leave
over. You know it? Don’t be shy, just share with me, write it down in the
message form for this blog. You are warmly welcomed!
This movie is not just action kind of movie, the writer and the directors put in so many elements in this movie. Including funny, love and education elements. So, what category should I categorize Spider-man 3? An action-comedy-romantic-education movie, I think.
Lastly, let me rate this movie with the 5 stars
rating system.
Spider-man
3 - * * * * *
No doubt, it is a 5 stars movie, I really like it.
Hope you can catch up this 4 thumbs up movie. (Haha, don’t feel strange of this
description, I have no 4 hands for sure, but I use the thumbs of my legs to do
so!) Really a good movie. And now, I am looking forward the coming big and well
known movies- Harry Potter and The Pirate of the Carribean. I am getting impatient to watch them in the cinema. O ya, remember that, you
should only support the original but not the pirated DVD. Just watch them out
in the cinema, a wonderful place to watch movie where they offer the big screen
and good sound system too! Remember to bring your student card to get discount!
It is our right as a student.

hmmm.... i haven watch SPiderMan 3. as you strongly recommend it, i will grab any chances that i hav to watch it.. hmmm from your sharing, this movie really sounds great.. but i am wondering why the movie company didn't offer you any rewards for praising their movie to this extent. you're like the FOC promoting ambassador for this movie.. hmmm... you really make your RM 7 worth more than it does cos you can learn so many lessons that benefit us and yourself... hehehe, so generous in sharing.
one more sentence that one of my fren shared with me too, which is from that movie: "THERE'S ALWAYS A CHOICE!" yes, this is always correct coz in every stage of our life, as well as in every decision making moment in our life, we should always bear in mind that there will be other choices, which you must seek for it.
basiclly, everything that you mention is correct and i am with you.... hehehe, agree is one matter, to put it into action is another matter and this is always the hardest... just hope that i will try , try to turn all these good values into action ^_^

I am so proud to be their FOC promoting ambassador. I don't mind about it as long as I can share the good film with all my friends and those who read my blogs.
Is true, it's hard to turn the things we accepted or we agreed with to become an action. But, we have to try. Who know we can make it?
JiaU,my lovely friend.
