Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mark Chance" data-source="post: 984429" data-attributes="member: 2795">Took my son to see the Hulk this morning. Not really his cup of tea, but he's only six.I noticed things I didn't before. Ang Lee is a subtle director. Like at the end, when the Hulk looks into the lake, it is his father's reflection he sees. Or how Banner Sr. groans, "It's too much. Take it back." while absorbing his son's power. Or (and I'm surprised I didn't see this the first time) how the Hulk's eye color matches Banner Sr.'s, whereas Bruce's eye color matches the mother's.Interesting use of images. Really ties in the thematic, multi-layered emotions of Banner/Hulk. Rage at losing his mother. Rage at his father's crime. Sadness at losing his mother and his father. Fear of becoming a man like his father. Et cetera.The movie rose in my estimation with further study.Like Eric Noah, I didn't find myself envying Bruce's power, but I did find myself relating to his anger and fear. This Hulk is a very human creature, and in that respect is faithful to the Stan Lee/Jack Kirby vision.</blockquote>
