Spiderman 3- The Greatest Battle Lies Within




What Spiderman is doing in this blog? Well the very fact that it’s the one of the highest grosser sequels at the box office across the world and the earth shattering opening record made by not only the foreign flick but by any Indian movie in india too, earns more than enough points to make an appearance on Amit’s Blog.
“3” was about Love, about Friendship, about the battle within and much to the chagrin of Indian spectators was too less about the heart beat stopping stunts and miraculous special effects (The emotions of Hollywood are not much impacting for Indians).
First time Spidey started using his powers for himself. He used his power for his own vengeance, for making money for himself, for making Marry Jane Watson jealous, for his own promotions. First he was dancing on the streets, taking advantage of his powers over his landlords daughter and daughter of NYPD officer. He was proud of himself and yup! He kissed a girl other than his girlfriend.

This all was quite nice to watch and the special effects used for Sandman and for fight sequnces between spidey and his friend (or better say foe) was awesome. There was a funny dialogue when he take on to sandmam and after sandman’s dissappearnce when

"he takes off his mask, has sand all over his face after just fighting the Sandman] ... Where do these guys COME from? [takes off a shoe, tips it upside down, sand continously pours out]” .
The news Reader speaks abt spider with tears in her eyes was a scene full of emotions “This could be a tragic day for the people of New York... Could be the end of Spider-Man... “
Ultimately Harry died and has given a lesson or two to Spidey.
It was heartning to see that ultimately the red Spidey appeared and won against all odd situations ( the black spidey was looking so ugly doesn’t he?).
At last a lifetime dialogue comes up from Spidey’s mouth

“Whatever comes our way, whatever battle we have raging inside us, we always have a choice. My friend Harry taught me that. He chose to be the best of himself. It's the choices that make us who we are, and we can always choose to do what's right”.

Dyversified Gyan for Erudite Persons

UP underwent electiom process previous month. The election commission carried out the whole process with a great panche and the overall six phases of elections carried out for over more than a month of time, was fair and peaceful. Pollsters, Election Pundits and all psephologists announced the hung assembly once again and people thought, the 14 year long coalition govt history will would not change this time too .
But MAYAjaal did the trick, the results of election paved the way for the sworn in ceremony of Mayawati who few days back sworn in as the chief minister of UP fourth time and the first time with majority .
It’s a cliché now that the UP politics is the door to enter into the center, and rightly so as it’s the most populated state of the country and have highest no. of Loksabha seats. Now , as the mayawati is chief minister of UP, the political arena of india is abuzz with speculation and analysis of the aftereffects of BSP win. The imminent effect will be seen in the presidential elction as the Mayawati will play a decisive role.
What faciliatated mayawati won this much seat? The social engineering and political fabric she weaved , uniting the two most neglected and pole apart castes due to rise of OBCs ,has given her party the edge over the others and now as she has advocated the reservation for economically weaker people of high caste clearly depict her stand ( which is obviously a U turn for Maya) and its really a welcoming stand. What will be the reaction of other parties on this is remain to be seen but the Mayawati’s victory and her new stand is going to have deep impact on UP and hence on Indian politics. Keep watching her move...
