n Spider-Man 2’s opening credits, the
splintered screen reveals some of the
original Marvel Comics drawings by
Steve Ditko, CGI characters from the
movies, and a photo of Kirsten Dunst, who
plays Mary Jane Watson. I would have
liked a photo of Tobey Maguire as well,
because if Dunst is the heart of the film,
he’s the soul. Maguire brings a sensitive,
inward-looking thoughtfulness to the char-
acter of Peter Parker, showing him to be
vulnerable, confused, guilty and mildly
depressed — a condition heroes are rarely
allowed to exhibit. Maguire and Dunst
raise the film out of its genre, making it a
story of human conflict — duty to others?
or duty to self?
While the questions are particularly apt
for Spidey’s generation at this time in our
history, the choice between doing good in
the world and the real need for personal
happiness and love is a conflict between
responsibilities, which underlies difficult
choices at different times in our lives. The
powerful image of Spider-Man’s costume
half-in and half-out of a garbage speaks to
the wish for an easy fix.
Dunst endows MJ with a strong inner
compass that she follows, which allows her
to express her feelings, even when they
make her uncomfortable. MJ spends a lot
of time dithering about Peter, as if she were
plucking flower petals — he loves me, he
loves me not. But when Mary Jane knows
her true mind, she acts on it, and through
her certainty Peter finds his own.
Character development and the love
story are set in a reality recognizable as our
own, sort of. But surrounding this island of
daily life — going to work in a pizza shop,
dodging the rent ‘til payday, taking care of
Aunt May (Rosemary Harris) — is the
vaster universe of super-heroes and super-
villains.
Peter dons a homemade, weblike cos-
tume and assumes supernatural strength.
Then he flies around, stopping bad people
from doing worse things. But despite his
good intentions, Spider-Man cannot halt
deranged scientist, Dr. Octavius (Alfred
Molina), from building a doomsday fusion
device. Nor can he stop Peter’s friend,
Harry Osborn (James Franco), from want-
ing to kill whoever killed his late father,
Norman Osborn (Willem Dafoe), aka the
Green Goblin. Peter’s relationship with
Harry is tough, because Spidey knows who
did it but won’t say.
Once the fantastical takes over the story,
I have to work extra hard not to just check
out. Unless, that is, the new reality is more
compelling than ordinary life — as is the
case with the best film of 2004 so far,
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
But in comic book villainy, the bad guys
are so unrelentingly evil they’re uninterest-
ing. Not so with Dr. Octavius, whose mind
has been hijacked by the four tentacle-like
arms attached to his body. The doctor was
in love with his wife, Rosalie (Donna
Murphy), who is killed through his actions,
and the monster he becomes still holds a
vague memory of her, a vulnerability
through which he may be turned from evil.
Meanwhile, he kills and destroys with
abandon.
It’s the film’s use of graphic brutality
and senseless fury that keeps me from
wholly endorsing Spider-Man 2. The may-
hem struck me wrong. It was too real, and I
couldn’t file it away as comic book action.
What does such violence accomplish
except to numb us to real suffering? Spider-
Man 2, now playing at Cinemark and
Cinema World, attracts and repels. Most of
it is quite wonderful, but the ultra-violence
is obnoxious.
