Tonite, while I was watching Smallville I had an emotional anxiety explore the imagination through the episode. Suddenly, My leg started having pain and I feel hurt and I cannot move. Suddenly, I didn't panic. I never give up watching the episode of Smallville. I stayed calmed and I didn't feel any more pain. My leg was feeling more Invulnerable. I feel that I'm putting all my faith so I feel more stronger. I didn't cry out. <br/><br/>It means I felt the pains from Christopher Reeve's accident. Every time when I watch Superman I will not feel anymore pains. So I don't have to worry about it. I just finally got healed. I can always remember the greatest memories of Christopher Reeve playing The Man of Steel. I enjoyed watching his films.
Back in the 60's and early 70's superhero movies were kind of a running joke. There was no such thinga blockbuster film spawned from a comic book. All superhero movies were hilariously cheesy B-movies with no name actors and whose budgets I spend in one month on gas. But then in 1978 Warner Brothers Studios released Superman. It marked the new beginning of the superhero franchise. It was a film that boasted a high profile director, big name cast members like Gene Hackman and none other than Marlon Brando, and lavish special effects that would truly bring the comic book world of Superman that had been so revered for forty years to life. The end result was a loud, flashy, and grand film that, by todays standards, would be considered very campy, but at the time it was the film that would forever change the face of superhero films.<br/><br/>Superman is obviously the origin story of how the Man of Steel came to be,wellhis first battle against the nefarious Lex Luthor. The film takes the liberty of assuming that it's audience has an already decent understanding of the Superman mythology, and doesn't hinder us with verbose introductions. It does a good job at telling the story of Superman with all the details in place, but it doesn't spend much time in examining our main characters. For instance, when we meet Lex Luthor for the first time he's already an evil genius and he becomes Superman's arch nemesissoonhe learns of his existence.<br/><br/>Granted, this is how comic book lore works for the most part because that is the age old relationship between superhero and supervillain. Why does Lex Luthor hate Superman? Because he is Lex Luthor and Superman is Superman. However, given the already campy nature of the film these hurried characters, along with the rushed plot line, make the film feel shallow. Yet, in a way it is shallow and it knows it. It's only aim is to shower the audience with incredible special effects and grandiose sets that never cease to amaze, especially to an audience watching in 1978. And really, these are the things that just make Superman a fun film.<br/><br/>At the end of the day we have to remember that Superman is just a superhero film. It's not an in depth character study and it's not a social drama commenting on why people like Lex Luthor do what they do. It's a fun, action packed, purposefully cheesy superhero film that definitely succeeds in what it is doing. It's a film of high quality with excellent production value. It is a lot of fun and shouldn't be missed by any fan of superheroes.
The film is best when it takes itself seriously, worst when it takes the easy way out into giggly camp–as it does, finally and fatally, when Lex Luthor enters the action; Gene Hackman plays the arch-villain like a hairdresser left over from a TV skit.
The movie Superman (1978) located the fictional U.S. town where the baby Kal-El was found and raised by Jonathan and Martha Kent in the state of Kansas. This tradition has carried through into subsequent Superman comic-book stories, animation, and television series. Earlier comics however placed Smallville in the north-eastern United States, somewhere near the eastern seaboard. Also, some comics-related sources in the 1970s and '80s placed Smallville in the state of Maryland. In the TV series Smallville, Smallville has been establishedbeing located in the state of Kansas and also close enough to Metropolis that on clear days, one can view it in the distance. Metropolis is a fictional port city located somewhere on the eastern seaboard of the U.S. Where exactly varies depending on the source. The four superman movies made in 1978, 1980, 1983, and 1987 staring Christopher Reeve, do not specify its location, but based on the existence of various real-life landmarks suchthe Statue of Liberty, it must be a stand-in for New York City. In the DC Universe, it is considered to be in New York State (which also is said to be geographically larger than its real-life counterpart). Some sources had previously placed Metropolis on the shore of Delaware Bay in the state of Delaware, across from Gotham City (from the Batman universe). However, this has been superseded by more recent continuity. In the latest Superman movie, Superman Returns, when Lex Luthor unveils his plan on a series of maps, Metropolis can be seen located on a Northeastern U.S. map exactly where New York City would be. (Also, on a side note, Long Island is not present at all.) In the TV series Smallville, Metropolis must be located either in Kansas, or close by in a neighboring state,the show has established that (1) Smallville is in Kansas and that (2) Metropolis can be seen from town on clear days in the distance. At this point in Clark Kent's life, he has not yet fully developed, super-power wise. He has varying degrees of some of his powers, while others not at all, including the ability to fly. That is why he runs super fast home, instead of simply flying. The effect was achieved by dangling the actor just above the ground with wires, and having a fast moving rig pull him across the intended path. In some shots, it was clearly blue-screened though. Once he turned back time, he then had the time to stop Lex Luthor's guided missles, and in effect, prevented the earthquakes, etc. The controversy surrounding the time-reversal theme of the movie has been a discussion point since the film came out. Most viewers see ita cheat, others see ita ridiculous way for Superman to save Lois. Either way, Richard Donner has commented very little on his choice to include it. We have to assume that, although he turned back time to a point before the dam really breaking through (as is clearly seen being reversed), he did not take it back further than that, to before the explosion (crucially, we do not see that being reversed). Presumably, he is only prepared to defy Jor-El's warnings to a certain extent, otherwise why not reverse the whole thing and save all those killed in the nuclear blast and quake, messing seriously with "Earth history"? So, he simply had a little bit more time, which he used to save Jimmy a bit earlier (it is clear that he still did so and deposited him on the road, because Jimmy says so when he arrives at the car at the end) and also to deal with the damaged dam, perhaps not needing to stop the deluge because this time he has enough time to repair the damage before it bursts completely. He also somehow prevents the crack that reaches Lois' car, though she has still experienced the quake/aftershocks and the exploding gas station (she saysmuch). And of course, Luthor's huge crime has still taken place and so he must go to jail and for trial. She asks him about this during their interview: "Is it true that you can see through anything?" He then states specifically that he can see through anything but lead (when she steps out from behind the lead plant box she has on her terrace, he says "pink", giving an answer to her question about what color underwear she'd had on). Lois is primed with a lot of questions, though we are not privyto how she knows to ask this one. Also, the printed article Lex Luthor et al. read the next day, "I spent the night with Superman", contains details about him that we do not see Lois and Superman discussing. So, we must simply assume that various rumors and facts had leaked out prior to the interview, during Superman's first few appearances, somehow (we do see him talking to Jor-El about his having been "showing off" and now being "revealed to the world") and a lot more putting the record straight must have taken place off-camera, while Lois is interviewing (flying with) Superman. In the original Superman comic book universe, it is safe to assume some, if not all, characters have trouble coming to this conclusion. In real life, although it is possible for a person to recognize Clark Kent, or Superman vice versa, there are numerous people who found they could conceal their identity from at least strangers with a single facial detail like Harold Lloyd (who was an inspiration for Clark Kent) with his glasses or Charlie Chaplin and Groucho Marx with their artificial mustaches. This was probably left out for plot reasons, and to allow a longer running series.<br/><br/>If the comic book series bordered too close to real life, with rational and smart characters, Superman would never have survived this long. His identity would have been deduced very early, and his closest friends and relatives would have been systematically killed. In the modern comics, the disguise has been supported by the fact that the public does not know that Superman have a secret identity since he does not wear a mask, suggesting he has nothing to hide. Furthermore, he has had the help of shapeshifters like the Martian Manhunter who have posedClark Kent with Superman in public appearances to make it seem obvious they are two separate people.<br/><br/>More than the glasses, the Clark Kent disguise consists of a completely different personality. Christopher Reeve was chosen, in part, because of his ability to play two completely different characters. Kal-el takes Jor-el's advice that his secret identity is absolutely necessary to heart and develops the Clark Kent persona in order to keep humans from over-relying on Superman and to protect those he loves. Clark Kent is a bumbling, "mild-mannered reporter", easily dismissed by Lois and everyone else; Superman is confident and charismatic with a witty sense of humor. Lois even considers the possibility that they are one and the same and then, considering Clark's personality, dismisses the notionridiculous. The skill of Reeve in portraying the identities is demonstrated in this film when Clark is tempted to confess in Lois' apartment; the sight of him simply taking off his glasses, straightening his back and speaking with unexpected timbre has a convincing effect of suggesting another person. In the year 2000, the Director's Cut of Superman was released. Most of the new material are smaller sequences with plot extensions, but there are two bigger sequences addedwell. The first one shows Superman in the Fortress of Solitude, talking to his father Jor-El about the advantage of his supernatural powers. The second one shows Luthor trying to stop Superman by the use of heavy arms, fire and ice. The 4-Disc Special Edition is a Must Have for each fan of this film because it's the only DVD release including the Director's Cut and the theatrical cutwell.
