Favorite moments of cinema: When I fell in love of Emma Stone

Emma Stone's most recent movie, The Favorite, is probably the movie that deserves the most awards this season (alongside Roma), and since I never lose a moment where I can admire this beauty that I've been following since 2012, it's time I share with all of you the movie that made me love her.

Everyone can criticize Marc Webb's attempt to create a new version of Spider-man and all points valid: over-complicated, too many characters, too many subplots with plotholes, depending too much on Sam Raimi's trilogy without having enough original content to set apart and becoming closer to Schumacher's Batman... but I liked them at the time. Independently of my recent posture about them, these were the movies that made me love Emma. I've see her previously on The Help and The House Bunny, but I was 'meh' about her... then Amazing Spider-man came out and I decided to watch the rest of her filmography, with excellent (Easy A, Birdman) and bad results (Superbad, Ganster Squad).

I think one of the reasons why this franchise didn't do so good and was so short was because in the first one the pace was good and once before Marc Webb said that this Spiderman would be a more grounded take on the hero and a darker realistic tone, which I think is the reason this movie was so good, but then with all of these brighter superhero movies came out like Avengers, Sony probably wanted to make Spiderman more like that so they screwed it up by rushing the story and making it the total opposite from his original ideas. However, the area Webb won over Raimi was how good Gwen Stacy was compared to Mary Jane. Smart, cute, proactive, creative and carismatic, her chemistry with Andrew Garfield is surpisingly good and this made the moment more painful to watch, to the point that I actually cried.

Many of us went to watch this movie only for this moment and what they gave us was brilliant. This scene is so intense and beautiful, the little hand of the spider web really touch my heart. Peter tried his hard but the chance to save her life is so small like little hand trying to reach out to catch her. When Peter cries, I feel his broken heart. She knows she's going to die no matter what. Even though it's just a split second, Gwen is smart enough to realize that she'll either die by whiplash or hitting the ground.

Although I agree Spider-man coming back to Marvel was the best choice in the long term, in some ways I feel Sony keeps me in debt because I want to see the finale of this series... even if I know it's not going to happen ever.
