David Wilder - Free Topic 1: Spiderman 3

I'm pretty excited about the upcoming movie Spiderman 3. I was a big fan of the cartoon series growing up and I'm thrilled to finally see Venom on the big screen. In the movie, Peter will come into contact with an alien symbiont known as Venom. While Peter's "new suit" will make him increasingly powerful, Venom also brings out the worst in people, making them more aggressive, hateful, and prone to revenge. Venom in a sense represents the dark side of every human heart. This is very similar to the primal and dark side of men shown in Heart of Darkness and in Apocalypse Now. Peter may be battling the new Green Goblin or whatever other villains may arrive on the scene, but he will also have a battle raging within his heart between good and evil. I only wish the movie had come out sooner so that I would be able to write a more complete post on the movie and it's relations to good and evil.
