“Venom – Let There Be Carnage” in the cinema: I am a symbiote, Madame – culture

Pet films are a small genre of their own in cinema history, it’s about the dear companions, with their trustworthiness and loyalty and their nice annoying quirks, from Lassie to Piggy Babe. The Eddie Brock and Venom duo deliver their own version from the Marvel world, a second part of which is now coming to the cinemas.

Eddie is an investigative journalist the way he is, which means he has a multi-day beard, hisses dashing off his motorcycle in search of stories, but he screwed up with his girlfriend (Michelle Williams). His apartment looks accordingly, in which there are also a few chickens, food for Venom, his roommate of a special kind. Venom is extraterrestrial, accidentally brought in from a space expedition, he has chosen Eddie for a symbiosis – now the two of them share Eddie’s body. We are familySometimes it is said demonstratively. There is heated argument about who is the host in this relationship and who is the symbiote, and Venom, who would like to eat anything and everything, doesn’t think very much of Eddie: You are one looser. And sometimes parting with this failure body.

Venom’s outbursts of violence are rowdy and very funny

A common body is of course exposed to spontaneous transformations in a matter of seconds, depending on the mood Venom dominates and shows himself as a monster with huge teeth and rowdy, quite funny outbursts of violence. In the other moments, the creature looks like Tom Hardy, who has played Mad Max and Batman’s opponent Bane in the cinema and Al Capone on TV, and who for a while was also one of those who were talked about as Bond’s successor.

Venom is a newcomer in the Marvel cinema world, he appeared for the first time in a “Spider-Man” film, and you have to take a completely different direction with him, reflect once again on the basis of the superhero existence, the question of who Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne actually really are. What is going on inside you, during your transformation into Superman or Batman. The transformations in “Venom” are as dynamic as you otherwise only experienced in the films of Georges Méliès, during the silent film era, or in animation, in the “Looney Tunes” of the fifties with their ludicrous contortions. The cinema shows us, in a very existential philosophy, that there is nothing solid and authentic and identical, that everything is in motion and every personality is divided. For “Venom 2”, it made sense to hire Andy Serkis as director, who became a star with a massive split in personality, as Gollum in the “Lord of the Rings” saga.

In the second film, Venom gets a kind of blood brother named Carnage who has a serial killer as host, played by Woody Harrelson, and who is really terribly obsessed with carnage. A predator. An underdog, desperate, oppressed, outclassed, who finally has to get out of himself and his misery.
