It's actually pretty complex, because there's two levels of reality in the narrative. One is what really took place, and the other is Spider's poisoned version of what took place.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As long as you don't think about the whole big picture, producing 'Spider-Man' is a fantastic experience.
In the spider-web of facts, many a truth is strangled.
The guy has to kill the spider and get the dead mouse outta the pool.
It's all about letting the story take over.
Fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so slightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners. Often the attachment is scarcely perceptible.
There are so many spiders, and their rituals, their mating rituals, their courtship ritual, can be very, very different.
The king died and then the queen died is a story. The king died, and then queen died of grief is a plot.
In the first Spider-Man, at the end of the movie, Peter Parker had to deny himself a relationship with a girl that he's in love with. The very next thing that happens is that he's swinging through the city.
But with my last film, Spider it was agony. The money was always disappearing, nobody got paid, it was very difficult - and it's very distracting from the process of making the movie, of course. So I think things have been getting harder and harder.
Unlike the actual, the fictional explains itself.
