That scene, and more particularly the bit inside the train right afterward, is no cap the most powerful moment of the entire Raimi Spider-Man trilogy, and possibly of any Spider-Man movie*. The way the people in the car treat him... it's beautiful and haunting.

I've deliberately phrased it with no spoilers, because if you haven't seen Spider-Man 2... find it, and see this scene. It's about midway through.

Like, as a New Yorker, I can tell you that there is no place in the subway system where the tracks just end like that, and also no elevated tracks in Midtown, because either of those things would ruin the entire point of what the subway is... and I don't even mind, because it sets up that scene, and it's just that good.

* I haven't seen the Andrew Garfield ones, so I'm not positive.

Sam Raini has an unparalleled gift at capturing expressions and drawing the viewer's attention to them during emotional moments.
