3 things I learn from Spiderman 3 movie

Finally, I manage to see 'Spiderman 3' which was shown in cinema long long time ago. Guess I am a little bit out dated. But that's okay. At least I got to enjoy the show.

I really like the plot of this movie. If you put aside all the actions of the swinging spidey, sandman and the flying goblin and really focus on the plot, you can see clearly the moral judgement inside this movie. It is about vengeance, anger, hatred, choices and forgiveness.

The plot started with Harry Osborne who is not willing to let go his vengeance over Peter Parker, after he discover Peter was responsible for his fathers death. Unfortunately, his vengeance had lift up his anger and hatred in which later led him into his own destruction.

It is the same for those in real life. If someone had hurt us, we must learn to let it go by looking at the positive side. By letting it go, we not only found happiness but also we able to lift the burden inside our minds.

The second thing I learn is choices. It is true that people in real life have choices to choose of what they want to be, either be good or bad. However, the choices is relying on your mind to take the action. Your mind is your destiny.

Third thing is forgiveness. We are born as humans and is not perfect. There are times we make mistake in decision making. And sometimes, things happen even we don’t plan it. Just like in the movie when Flint Marko(Sandman) did not plan to kill Peter’s Uncle Ben but it happen by accident when his partner shake his hand to trigger the gun fire. So, the most important thing to make things right again is to let go all the pain, then forgive yourself first. Then learn to forgive others.

Sometimes I believe stories regardless whether it derives from comics, cartoons or anime, they are not just cartoon. They do have some moral teaching background either to the children or adult. It is just not another movie.
