The mission of this new film is the recovery of "anonymity" through the desire for oblivion expressly manifested by the boy to the mentor Doctor Strange for the simple reason of freeing his loved ones from the burden of being tied to such a bulky hero.
You always get back to doing good "the bad thundered to the good Hero intent on making salvific cobwebs around the world. Expected, and with good reason to be, Spider-Man: No Way Home arrives today, the culmination and closure of the so-called Homecoming trilogy directed by Jon Watts (Homecoming, 2017 and Far From Home, 2019).
Loaded with no-spoilers as is now customary and abused custom, it is a 148 'big movie capable in its own way of surprising, leaving visual bombast in the eyes as well as benevolence of judgment in the heart and in the head. After all, the prolificacy of Marvel Studios with respect to its superheroes requires a constant dramaturgical refresh of not simple construction, and this time the game of the three cards (read of the "three heroes" with a minimum of alert: spoilers!) Is particularly successful. Not being able to reveal the best that can be discovered from the vision of the film, we limit ourselves to confirming how much the trilogy has the connotations of the Bildungsroman of the young spider-man, actually still a Spider-boy with all the magnificent contradictions and bodily imperfections adolescence.
No Way Home starts as a teen movie, turns on mythological fantasy thanks to the paternal presence of Doctor Strange (a very lively Benedict Cumberbatch) to merge into the drama of love & friendship that focuses on the theme of memory, from which everything starts and returns, passing naturally through space-time battles with fierce enemies from those “multiverses” which in fact act as the conceptual-visionary gimmick of the trilogy.
The 17-year-old Spider-boy played by the good Tom Holland is an unmasked hero (he is often seen fluttering and leaping between skyscrapers in overalls but without a mask) because the villain from the previous episode revealed Peter Parker's identity to the whole world. The mission of this new film is the recovery of "anonymity" through the desire for oblivion expressly manifested by the boy to the mentor Doctor Strange for the simple reason of freeing his loved ones from the burden of being tied to such a bulky hero. Peter / Spider-man is still a high schooler who aims for college admission, holds his sweet MJ (Zendaya) by the hand, celebrates the sacredness of friendship and esteem from Aunt May (Marisa Tomei). But if it is true that "so much superpower corresponds to as much responsibility", the young man in the red-blue overalls must gradually realize the sacrifice to which he is called, the worthy torment of every great superhero whose moral purpose is "reparation" also respect to reality and "adverse" characters.
Visually, Watts' film tears through the New York skies revealing the decomposed and dizzying nature of the multi-universe, something "Nolanian" inspiration thanks to the unforgettable Inception, but it also allows us to keep faith with the iconological tradition of comics created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko with a chaotic metropolis, noisy and increasingly prey to human neuroses. The public will appreciate the courses and appeals of Spider-Man: No Way Home, the result of the ability of Marvel Studios and Pascal and Columbia Pictures to reinvent themselves also by fishing from their fertile past.
