Spiderman

Bounded world:The main character is isolated from help by physical circumstances and psychological isolated by betrayal. We know the character Spiderman is already isolated as his parents have passed away and he hasn’t ever seen them, furthermore his uncle also passes away later in the film. This builds up to the main part of the film. We can infer that the way Peter Parker is at the moment he is very isolated however he may have taken the “hero” Spiderman status in order to come over how he’s isolated.Timescape-The extreme isolation from outside help enforces a short, but intense timeline as the main characters fears overtake rational perception. The story line is short as most films that have a tragedy films are. Character Ethos –A comparatively uninvolved character is drawn into an increasingly larger menace, and discovers that the only way to remain alive is through self-reliance, by exposing the malevolent evil before it can assault the larger community. Spiderman has to live in order to save the city from the demon inside Dr Connor. By turning into Spiderman he can help the city and the environment around him as his other character Peter Parker wouldn’t be able to.Narrative trajectory –The character has to be willing to stay alive as he has to destroy the protagonist Dr Connor in order to for him to achieve the “hero” status. Therefore he fights of the antagonist risking his life as in first thoughts it’s seemed to have looked as if the protagonist was too weak for the antagonist.
