The Reality of Viewpoint and Spider-Man



Living reality and creating reality are two different things. The reality we live in today is normal and monotonous that we would become bored most of the time just watching it even at the most surprising of moments. Watching real life for us is when our parents pull out the homemade videos of their vacations and family times. They are very enjoyable but how many times can you watch those family movies?
The stories that we real enjoy engulf us and pull us into their reality. Spider-Man directed by: Sam Raimi is an excellent movie along with many others, in the prevalence of a creation of reality.
What is better than watching Spider-Man as they go to the Columbia University Science Department and give us all kinds of facts about spiders -- hence the name of the movie Spider-Man. Mary Jane (MJ) Watson is the girl that every guy wants, loves spiders. But when MJ gets yelled at by her father that she is trash everyone can hear. Peter Parker is a geek considered lame and worth beating up on, and is very knowledgeable of spiders. Then there is every guy's dream, taking photographs of the girl he has a crush on. This is normal life for Peter Parker, despite he wants a girl he can't have. His love is slow.
After Peter is bitten by the spider his whole life slows down because he becomes very sleepy and ill, with hot and cold chills. When Peter Parker awakes from his slumber he has changed, and his whole life changes for the good and the bad. But then how many people get bitten by spiders and develop super-human spider-like abilities that make it very easy for him to stop robbers in the mist of robbing a bank. This is not our reality, but instead being engulfed in a totally new reality. As could be said, an alternate reality. How are you being engulfed? You are engulfed in the reality as extraordinary things happen. You are thinking, well this is Spider-Man, there are more true to life stories than this.
Yes, there are, but even those engulf their audience, like for example The Man in the Moon. This story takes place in the 1950's on a small Louisiana farm. Dani, a 14-year-old girl has a crush on 17-year-old Court. Court is the man of the house and has to take care of the farm to bring in money for the family. In this movie everywhere you turn all you see is farm land, sleeping on the porch and swimming in the pond. You get caught up in the culture of the time period.
