i think she did. because before this scene peter did saving her from dr.octopus in bank robbering and he said to aunt may as "We" then she asking why saying "We" that scene will make sene enough for this point
@@lucky5757Lmao, she did. Consolidated in Spiderman 3’s revenge scene against Flint Marko. You think she didn’t recognize Peter’s mannerisms when being rescued by Spiderman? You think she didn’t recognize his voice up close after being rescued? She most definitely knew he is Spiderman.
This is the most standout scene for me in the Spider-Man franchise. Honestly, I think it should go right up on par with "Great Power, Great Responsibility".
Years later, it holds up as one of the greatest scenes in the entire trilogy and it holds right up par with Uncle Ben's words but her speech was more inspiring and heroic and it felt realistic because it resonates with it when someone who's willing to give some advice to a younger relative needed to hold on a second longer. In other terms, holding a grip to get their life together.
I’d say into the spiderverse was the closest but this has heart that captures Spider-Man in the simplest form. It’s not too busy to show a struggle and what a hero should be. When Spider-Man shines brightest is when it can slow down and reflect his personal life along side his superhero responsibilities. Other movies have tried but this one did and set the standard. Aunt May being the voice reason and wisdom is so good.
The spider verse movies come close but I feel like spiderman 2 has so many great scenes and so many laughs and it's all in service of a very thoughtful and tasteful Spider-Man story with depth and pretty amazing performances. It feels rewarding to look deeper into these films
"There's a hero in all of us. That keeps their honest, gives us strength, makes us noble and finally allows us to die with pride, even though we have to be steady and give up the things we want the most, even our dreams."
@@beastguillermoThere's an hero in our everyday's life when we do the most noble things. And sometimes we have to sacrifice the thing we want the most for the greater good.
@@beastguillermo You don't really need a superhero. It's all a symbol for many or example. Sometimes we just need someone who can show us to show strength and courage. To stand up when we are knocked down. Spider-Man in this case is merely a symbol.
The wonderful thing looking back on this scene 20 years later is that this movie, and this scene especially, is probably an inspiration to a lot of superhero writers and moviemakers, the same way she describes heroes being an inspiration. It's hard to imagine capturing the tone of the underdog hero better than this. Not as high stakes as all that when it is just superfiction, but it will always hold a very special place in my heart for the rest of my moviegoing life :)
None of the Multiverse Spider-Man movies have been able to capture this level of emotional resonance. And Harris is pitch perfect in this movie serving as Peter's guide to him returning as Spider-Man and being a hero again. . For me, this is still the best Spider-Man movie.
I thought this scene was just Oscar/commercial bait until i realized on a rewatch that this really is the conclusion to May's arc in this movie, not only accepting Peter for what happened to Uncle Ben but fully giving him her backing to be the best Spider-Man he can be, also explaining how she could give up her dream (the home she shared with Uncle Ben) and the strength she herself holds
Rosemary Harris is my favorite live action Aunt May. It's not because she was the first Aunt May I was introduced to, but she played the part so well. Watching her, I can see her love and compassion for Peter and just being a grounded character. There was a lot of passion behind that line, "I love you, Peter. So very much." Such a terrific actress
And people say that mcu aunt May is the best for no other reason besides just being younger. Such a stupid reason to consider her to be the best when she have no life advice and guidance to our hero like the rami aunt May did.
@@tobyduarte9849 shhh, don’t tell him that all the comic movies he likes come from comic books. He’ll suddenly start calling them juvenile crap too. 😂😂😂😂 People like this guy have serious insecurity issues.
I wish future Spiderman moviea stopped showing Aunt May as some hot woman. Aunt May is supposed to be a gentle, everyday looking woman. I like her when she was aged, vulnerable and can also kick ass.
She knew he was Spider-Man, and they both go back to pretend that he isn't.
Great scene!

I think she really does knew Peter was Spider-Man in the first film too
No Spiderman movie has surpassed SpiderMan2, in character development, Story, emotions.
NO SUPERHERO

Right especially why Iron Man is MCU but Spider-Man is Marvel
Rosemary Harris is so cute and adorable as Aunt May. She's just amazing.❤
I'm glad she is still alive and living a long life
She’ll always be the best Aunt May.

Close some 15 today dollars
If I helped an old woman pack some things to relocate elsewhere I should deserve at least £20
@@nahuelgamboa9273 5 dollars went a lot further back then.

She definitely knew Peter was Spider-Man.
3:24 That look says it all.
And after Peter told her the truth about Uncle Ben I think she also knows why he's Spider-Man. Such a perfect written story
My Favorite Aunt May Moment.
This scene is the reason why this Aunt May is better then MCU Aunt May
Facts
And also better then TASM Aunt May i mean all the Aunt May's are good but Sam Raimi's Aunt May is just the best (My Opinion)
TASM aunt May is the second best. MCU, it's so horrible, I don't even count it.@@eliafouad756
Honesyly mcu aunt may was slutty.
@@eliafouad756I agree this is why I like Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man so much
0:47 seeing this in the theaters again recently man it brought tears to my eyes

Henry Jackson: $5 🤔? 0:23 she told me that I'M getting $50!!!
Aunt May: i miss the part where that's YOUR problem 😎🤣🤣🤣🤣
for those of you who don't know how old Rosemary Harris is, she just celebrated her 97th birthday in September 2024
I love garfields spiderman, but this may and ben are untouchable

I'm still mad that she gave away his comic books.
PROBABLY TO HENRY JACKSON ACROSS THE STREET
Those old things?
$5 and a stack of comics? As a kid that would be quite a reward for help moving.
I love this scene ❤
This scene alone is why Rosemary Harris is the best Aunt May

They like the new one cuz she’s hot, which was the cheap way to go.
As far as spider man is concerned, mcu fans tastes are 🤮
MCU Aunt May is a joke, a parode
In the comics, Aunt May is typically in her 50’s and 60’s. Youngest maybe late 40’s.
Canonically, Aunt May is meant to be an older woman.
Masterpiece
She knows he was spiderman
I think this scene really goes out of its way to signal that she knows
This is such a wonderful and personal scene. Having someone special to share with is a gift in itself.
Holy moly- that's excellent and impactful writing.
Every good man needs a strong 💪, Wise Woman in their life 👏 🙌 Beautiful Speech 💬 inspiration for so many!!!
It was Uncle Ben that inspired him to become Spider-Man. And Aunt May who re-inspired him
This my favorite spiderman movie .period .Very powerful 4 min .Says so much in 4 min time
I cry everytime relatable realistic and the whole meaning of hereos and marvel in 1 scene
He is Spider-man
🕸️🕷️🕸️
Yeah… Aunt May knew.
That woman looks kinda familiar I feel like seen a tv show I wonder is that red’s mother cuz it like it her
I love the line about the comic books. They’re good source material but comic books remain irresponsible juvenile crap.
Excuse me?
I thought comic books inspired movies like this? That's an odd juvenile comment lol
This comment is exactly what I would expect from an irresponsible juvenile. Maybe try having some self awareness.
