Character Representation - The Amazing Spider Man

The amazing spider-man representations are fairly stereotypical. For instance, we witness that a white male is in power and has control over situations. He is also represented to be brave, strong and fearless which is a stereotypical representation of a hero. In addition, the dark past the individual has also can be referred as stereotypical due to the fact that most superheros have dark secrets of their past that no one knows. Therefore, what secret they have is something that makes them stronger for the future and situations that they are in currently at that time. In addition, we witness in the trailer for Spider-Man that the girl in there is a princess according to (Vladimir Prop's theory) she is shown to be someone who is close at heart and who someone who the main protagonist has in interest in a lot. In addition, outside the movie the main star Andrew Garfield is represented to have a lot of pressure due to the fact the media question him and talks go on whether he can play Spider-Man better compared to the previous spider-man played by Tobey Maguire. Tobey Maguire had been the first ever actor to play the super hero spider-man on box office. Due to the fact that he was successful in playing spider-man there is pressure on to Andrew Garfield from the media so see whether he was able to play spider man as well as the previous. As previously mentioned in an interview after the release of spider-man Anderw Garfield had touched upon a topic that we are all superheros in our own unique way. He gave examples such as his brother who is a doctor, journalist etc. Therefore, overall suggesting that spider-man him self is normal like us, we need to find our inner hero/ we have our own heroic impulses. The place that is targeted is New York city. New York city is a city which is known all across the globe and people around the world would want to visit it regardless. It has been shown to be targeted in numerous movies for instance, Die Hard, King Kong etc. New York had been shown to be vulnerable then in the end to be strong and able to over come what problems there was. This can also be linked closely to the 9/11 attacks and enforcing that America overall is a strong country that can over come any large scale problem. Therefore, it's an dominate display of America and New York as a whole. There is also a alternative representation of teenagers due to the fact that we witness a teenager who has great responsibility. Normally teenagers are shown to be irresponsible however, The Amazing Spider-Man shows more of a responsible and tender side too teenagers. Apart from the love interest and normal high school problems such as homework, relationship stress bullies.
