@michaelmcchesney6645 4 месяца назад

Catching the helicopter was awesome. But the part where he first looked at the payphone before using the revolving door to change was much funnier to audiences in 1978 than today. First of all, I am not sure kids today know what a payphone is. But leaving that aside, people much younger than I am (56) probably don't realize that Superman was famous for using phone booths to change. But by 1978, most phone booths had been replaced with the open design that Christopher Reeve looked at and moved on. That got a huge laugh in 1978.

@itsjudemydude 7 месяцев назад

People don't seem to get that while a lot of superheroes used to be cheesy because of the time period in which they were created (like Batman), Superman is _supposed_ to be cheesy. He's supposed to be a happy-go-lucky, friendly, optimistic guy, with a chipper smile on his face and an eagerness to do the right thing. That's his whole character. To paint him as some dramatic, tragic figure, a tortured soul with an inner wrath on the brink of breaking loose... That misses the entire point of the character. It's why I hate Injustice, why I'm not a huge fan of Henry Cavill's Superman, and why Christopher Reeves is the best we've ever gotten. Fortunately, Tyler Hoechlin also seems to get the character, which makes Superman and Lois one of the best pieces of Superman media _since_ Reeves played the role.

@tucoramirez4558 6 лет назад

Remember kids: If *not* for Superman: The Movie you wouldn't see Batman, X-men, Spider-man and the Avengers. This movie broke the ground and paved the way for the superhero genre. Superman did for the superhero genre what Star Wars did for sci fi. Elevated it into the mainstream.

"You've got me? Who's got you?" I get a jolt of electricity through my spine every time I hear that line in this scene. It was absolute genius to put such a boldly comedic line in the middle of this intense action scene. And one that perfectly encapsulates Lois' spunky personality in this movie. I will also note to critics that Superman lets both Lois and the helicopter drop a little bit when he catches them. So he is not defying the laws of physics here. He is avoiding doing damage by slowing them down first before reversing their course. He is not bringing them to an abrupt stop.

@jedijones 3 года назад

@Kevin McDougall That sounds a little bit like what John Byrne invented in his Superman comics revamp in 1986. From the Wiki: "Tactile Telekinesis An attempt was made to explain Superman's ability to fly with large objects through the introduction of tactile telekinesis. Objects that Superman touched were enveloped by an invisible telekinetic field that allowed him to move them with the force of his will. The ability also explained Superman's ability to fly."

@stainlesssteelfox1 3 года назад

@Kevin McDougall Telekinesis can explain many of his standard abilities. Superstrength, including the ability to lift objects in ways that leverage and material strength should make impossible - He's actually grabbing it in a TK field and supporting it all over. Invulnerability - Skin tight telekinetic absorbtion field Eye Lasers, Freeze breath - Manipulating the vibration speed and therefore the temperatures of the molecules. Even the visible light of the laser eyes can be explained as using telekinesis to create refracted light. Flight - Self-levitation. Surviving and breathing in space - Telekinetic atmosphere containment field, molecular vibration control of temperature, plus decomposing the air in his lungs back into oxygen. Superspeed is canonically the speed force, however.

Who's got YOU?!" And another fantastic cheer when he catches the helicopter. It's like being with the citizens of Metropolis, all cheering and smiling brightly as Superman is here to save the day. One other endearing detail I love is how Superman has that big grin when he looks away from Lois, but when he turns around, he's got that expression that is more firm and confident, but polite and friendly. I can imagine the audience got one more good laugh when Lois fainted. Superman will always be one of the greatest superhero films ever, and Christopher Reeve will forever be the one and only Superman. God bless him.

*THIS!* This is the Superman I will always love and remember. A simple, straightforward, film about good and evil. No nuances. No trying to check off the 'right' boxes to pander to certain interest groups. No trying to hijack the script to make a profound, 'woke' statement to pound into the heads of the audience. If you came away with any message from the film, great. If you didn't, then fine, as long as you enjoyed the movie. I fear that 43 years later, we've somehow lost that. Now, EVERY TV show and movie has to have a 'right' message to shove on the audience. Every director seems to feel that they HAVE to use the show or movie to push home a moral point. Can't we just get back to this? A more simpler time, when we could enjoy what we want, without others telling us how to enjoy something...or worse, when it's something *they* don't like, how we can't enjoy it.

Can you give an example of "woke statement" that exists in today's movies, but not in 1978 Superman? Just to make clear what you meant.

@josephgallo3241 Год назад

All movies are stories and stories have messages in them. That is why people tell stories to share the messages in them. The message in this movie and the Superman story is that you have great powers , do you use them to help or harm others? Superman decides to use his powers to help people

I wholeheartedly agree. But, even Christopher Reeve would have deferred to the late George Reeves, the other living embodiment of Superman. Had George lived to see Christoper, he would have been very proud of him! Both George Reeves AND Christopher Reeve were born to play Superman. It's a dead heat photo finish! Both of them brought completely different interpretations to Clark and Superman, yet BOTH were completely valid. Superman is all about dignity, inspiration, grace, and charm. Both men knew that. It's a tragedy that George never lived to meet Chris. Fate is cruel. (Had he lived, he should have played Jor-El or Pa Kent!) May they all rest in peace!

Reeve brought to the character something we've never really seen since: humbleness and humility. For Reeve's Superman, it's never about him and who HE is, it's about helping people and keeping the world safe. Like he says at the end of the movie: "No sir. Don't thank me, Warden. We're all part of the same team. Night."

Reeves knew just how to portray Superman. From the subtleties between the Clark/Kal-El characters, to the body language and facial expressions to convey humor (without being over the top), seriousness, and Superman being a beacon of hope and good for the people. For example, the way he is grinning as he walks away from a stunned Lois shows how Superman is enjoying the moment of surprise and awe he just inspired in her and the rest of the crowd. He does the same thing when Clark picks Lois up for their date after Superman flies away and he sees how she is off in her own world.
