I rewatched Spider-Man 2 and the scene that hit me hardest was Aunt May giving Peter $20 for his birthday
You can feel how much that money costs her. After Ben's death, the woman who is supposed to give Peter strength and guidance is herself struggling to survive. Those $20 say more about their financial reality than any dialogue ever could. And unlike recent adaptations that skim over Peter's money problems, Sam Raimi makes you feel it.
Aunt May needed help too. She just never said it out loud.
