Spider-Man II reminds me of Journey to the West, where the incompetent robber boss turns out to be insane after abandoning his desires and emotions. He's arrogant and invincible at the cost of giving up his love and taking on the seemingly boring duty of escorting a pedantic man to his most disgusting sense of morality. He left his dream in the warm embrace under the setting sun on the city wall, and then walked into the never-ending loneliness with his long hair.
So far, I haven't figured out why the Supreme Treasure chose to become a superman. The price of being called "Wukong" is too high, but the Supreme Treasure still resolutely put on the diamond hoop. The only reasonable explanation is that he can only save Zi in this way. Xia, he gave up love because of love.
So why did Pete choose to be Spider-Man? Because he finally accepted his uncle's point of view: with great power comes great responsibility. It can be seen that there is no free lunch in the world, especially the one God gave you. Once upon a time, Pete lived an ordinary life like everyone else, and he was even addicted to the ordinary, because that was the state he wanted to be in. But in the end, Spider-Man came back. This return from the pursuit of spiritual freedom to taking responsibility reminds us of another movie "The Law of the Cider House": Homer finally returned to the orphanage after traveling for many years. Use his medical skills and sense of responsibility to take care of children who have lost their parents - just like Spider-Man uses his superpowers to save those who lack God's love.
The birth of fantasy heroes and saviors is a manifestation of our anxiety and insecurity about our surroundings, especially after 9/11, which has very real implications for Americans. God was on vacation, but he could send his assistants, so Spider-Man, Daredevil, Batman appeared, and they filled the world with hope. The success of Spider-Man II is that it creates a superhuman figure who dreams of becoming a mortal, and this dislocation gives us a new feeling. Of course, he still insisted on the main theme in the end.
