All we need is THREE words
Make yourselves happier. Utter them!
I just came back watching Spiderman 3 with my new housemates. Oh the drama! The tension! The fights! The beautiful plot is still fresh on my mind and the memorable scenes are still replaying itself again and again.
When I watch movies, I:
Play. Watch. Snip(memorable parts).Record in biological hard disk. Stop. Replay
Okay, back to THE POINT.
Yes, all we need is 3 words. And nolar, its not:
1. I love you
2. What the fuck!
3. Tiu Nia Sing!
4. CCB!
5. Oh my god!
Its "I forgive you"
Forgiveness. Its something we all hate doing despite all the preaching and the constant 'drilling' of moral values into our poor skulls. Somehow, is it just me or are moral values implemented through a stern glare, some scolding and perhaps through a century long lecture with a strong warning.
Something like: " Say sorry little kid or you shall burn in hell in your afterlives!"
How depressing.
Forgivenness is one of the hardest thing for most of us to do. Asking for forgiveness is even tougher. Some of us might even rather bite off their own tongues, murder an innocent herd of sheep or sacrifice themselves as Mr Hannible lecter's chrismas dinner rather than to say "I forgive you" or "You are forgiven".
Its hard to say sorry. As hard as it is accepting an apology sincerely.
But hey, if Spidey and Harry Osbourne can forgive each other despite all the "I will kill you" shit, join up in their effort to save Mary Jane thedamselindistess, I think we still have hope left.
And Spidey had forgiven sandman for killing uncle Ben, an act which i think will make even the pope feel humbled.
That is why we love spidey so much. He is someone which we can relate to. Cause he seems to be almost normal.besides all the web swinging, sticking to the walls and super villians trying to kill him frequently His boss is damn annoying, he has money problems, his ego gets trodden upon once in awhile and he rents a flat with a door that is always stuck.
Normal. Predictable. And totally relatable.
Spidey Vs Batman
Unlike Batman, he lives in a mansion. Has tons of cash so thats why he has a batmobile, batplane, batboat, batsubmarine which can be blown up by villians all the time and he wont feel sakit hati. A secret lair which has the latest technology. All kinds of cars.A bird for a sidekick sounds so wrong =p. A really really faithful old butler whose only purpose in life is to serve Master Bruce. He is rumoured to date catwoman, the original pussycat doll.And he doesnt need to work so thats why he can rempit around in his batmobile all night.
The biggest problem he face besides the villians is probably his stupid batsuit. So not practical la the costume. Cannot wear under clothes.
AND STILL that fellow has issues.
Spidey Vs Superman
Compared to Batman, superman is more relatable. Like spidey, he is also a journalist and looks nerdy with the spectacles. And kesiannye, he never seems to be able to find a changing room when duty calls. So the poor thing always terpaksa use phone booth. Maybe this is why his underwear was worn outside. Too rushed and cramped liao. Then people recognize him for the underwear and he has to continue with the charade, pretending that he had intentionally worn it outside.
But then,
He can fly leh. He is a handsome alien child of powerful alien parents. He has really black shiny urang aring hair. He can make time go backwards by flying around and around the world thats how he saved Louis Lane in one movie And he has laser eyes. Did I mention he can fly?
The thing I dont understand about his costume- where does the cape go when he wears it under his clothes?
Anyway, learn from spidey. Be brave and smile like a dork even when shit happens. Dont give up on your Mary Jane. Be faithful to your best buddies despite them wanting to kill you.
And yeah, learn to forgive.
You'll sleep better, breathe better, eat better and probably smile alot more. Dont be like Batman, letting a single tragic incident haunt his entire life. Despite everything he has, he still feels empty, constantly haunted by images of the past, always having recurring nightmares and waking up in cold sweat to a luxurious but cold room simply because he just wont trust anyone enough.
Dont let the burden of the past sit too long on your shoulders.
I have a resolution today: I want to learn to forgive people more often. And of course, to forgive myself. I trod too much on myself sometimes.
Best quotes of the show:
"If you want forgiveness. Get religion"-A very pissed Peter Parker
"Everyone needs help sometimes. Even spiderman"-Mary Jane to Peter Parker
Make yourselves happier. Utter them!

Super heroes r sumwat unpractical.
i don't get superman lah, wears a suit inside his clothes. The differents between him and Clark Kent is the glasses oni, coz he didn't wear mask or anything. Dunno y the heck ppl in the show still doesn't know Kent is Superman, other than his parents n Lois in the end.
N 4 spidey, dunno how he can breath in his spidey suit.
he can breathe because spidey masks have good ventilation!
anyway, mk, this post is super fantasticus.although i totally want to murder you for telling me bits and pieces of the movie (INCLUDING QUOTES!), but i loved the deep analysis!
hahaha.nothing in superman makes sense.people dont recignize him just because he has taken off his glasses! new generation superman's underwear is not triangle-shaped! plus, the whole cape thing you just pointed out!
spidey is still my favourite hero of all time:) great heroes doesnt need sidekicks (bird or no bird)
