It\u2019s sad that it took so long for Miles Morales to garner his own animated film, but when it comes to feature films I think he could be an icon. That\u2019s proven in \u201cMiles Behind,\u201d Tito Guillen\u2019s tribute to Spider-Man that touches upon very socially relevant topics.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Miles Morales\u00a0is still trying to find his footing and voice as the new Spider-Man of New York City, while also keeping up with his regular life as a student and son of New York Police Officer Jefferson Davis.\u00a0An attempted mugging becomes a defining moment for Miles and his father as Spider-Man comes between the New York City Police and Peter, a young man tired of being marginalized and stepped on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMiles Behind\u201d is set during the Black Lives Matter movement during a time where the trust for police is still shaky among local citizens. After the death of Spider-Man, citizens don\u2019t know who to trust, and in comes Miles Morales. Miles is more than up for the task, but like Peter Parker, he\u2019s faced with the moral implications of being a masked vigilante. How can he form an uneasy alliance with the authorities when he himself doesn\u2019t trust them? How can they ever trust him if J Jonah Jameson is committed to spreading misinformation about him?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMiles Behind\u201d is a well realized and sharply filmed action drama that focuses a lot on Miles\u2019 transformation and struggles with being a superhero. Guillen\u2019s direction is small scale, but he makes great use out of the limited scenery creating a larger scope often found in the \u201cSpider-Man\u201d movies. I don\u2019t know how he\u2019s able to bring such interesting shots to life, but he does a great job here. The cast are collectively very good in their roles, including Eb Mensah who is likable as Miles Morales (ace costume work, to boot). I had a good time with what Tito Guillen brought to the forefront here meshing Spider-Man\u2019s world with current social themes. It allowed for a great fan film.<\/p>\n<p>I also appreciate their ambitious final shot. I didn\u2019t think they\u2019d be able to pull it off, but they did.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2qKXdjkWNBU\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Director and Writer Tito Guillen\u2019s short fan film for Miles Morales has a lot of feature film potential.
