Mask Of Sorrow

I just watched Spiderman 2 and I was surprised. I never thought that they will allow other people to know that Peter Parker is Spiderman. Well I am no comic fan so I really don’t know if he revealed himself to other people.

I was touched with the scene after he stopped the train. When he was about to fall due to exhaustion and the passengers rescued him and carried him inside. I said to myself, “Finally, it paid off.” All the sorrows, all the sacrifices, all the pain.. it finally paid off. It was a simple act of kindness compared to what Parker just did (he saved a number of lives on that train) but for me that was a big reassurance for what he was doing. A hero’s life is not an easy one.

Most of us wears our own masks and those masks brings us sorrow. I was specifically happy that Parker need not hide behind Spidey’s mask. All fears, all worries, all sorrows, and all love was revealed in front of his one true love. He was able to show who he really was.. Peter Parker and Spiderman at the same time.
