Unable to convince the ruling council of Krypton that their world will destroy itself soon, scientist Jor-El takes drastic measures to preserve the Kryptonian race: He sends his infant son Kal-El to Earth. There, gaining great powers under Earth's yellow sun, he will become a champion of truth and justice. Raised by the Kents, an elderly farm couple, Clark Kent learns that his abilities must be used for good. The adult Clark travels to Metropolis, where he becomes a mild-mannered reporter for the Daily Planet...and a caped wonder whose amazing feats stun the city: Superman! Meanwhile, Lex Luthor, the world's greatest criminal mind, is plotting the greatest real estate swindle of all time. Can't even the Man of Steel stop this nefarious scheme?
Surviving the destruction of the planet Krypton, young Kal-El is sent by his father Jor-El to live among mankind on Earth. Under the parenting of Jonathan and Martha Kent, Clark Kent discovers that he was born with extraordinary powers and abilities beyond imagination. Now living in Metropolis, Clark takes up a job as a reporter for the Daily Planet and starts to fall head over heals for fellow reporter Lois Lane. But then Clark is also using his powers to help the better of mankind as Superman, who the people of Metropolis start turning to for help. But in the shadows, criminal genius Lex Luthor launches a sinister plan to make himself known by detonating two missiles in different parts of the country with only Superman to oppose him. Will Superman save us? Or will Luthor's plan succeed?
As I'm sure you're aware based on my past write-ups on superhero films, I take them somewhat serious. I think they're a fascinating reflection of the times they were created in; at best functioning as a meaningful vessel for audiences to contemplate things like morality, justice and humanity; at worst they usually are pretty entertaining. Superman, arguably the oldest superhero, is a fascinating character to dive into; to explore from multiple perspectives and if anyone would like to dig into that, I'd be more than happy to in the comment section.
Richard Donner's Superman confidently approaches the Superman character from a whimsical, tongue in cheek angle. This, to me, is its greatest failing, because the depths it reaches in the Superman character are really quite shallow in the end. We see Clark and Superman as they are defined in the comics, and Donner successfully establishes their demeanor and overall motivations. As an adaptation of the comics, it really does quite well. All of the characters are there, portrayed quite aptly by a talented cast, and Donner takes no serious deviations from the source material except for one major piece (which I'll discuss in the next paragraph). It's a safe film, albeit a minor one in thematic scope and subtextual meaning. The plot is too absurd to take seriously.
But there are some things to love about this 70's retooling of the Man of Steel, and most of those can be found in the core relationship between Clark/Superman and Lois. Both actors kill it, bringing comedy, cleverness and heart to their roles, really succeeding in making each character an sympathetic one. Some of the visual effects are great in an antiquated sort of way, softening the conceptual absurdity of most of the script. And Gene Hackman, while butchering the character of Lex and limiting the stakes that are even possible to feel in this mostly cartooney story; is fun enough in his archetypal buffoonish villain role. And back to that deviation, I love Donner's interpretation of Krypton. It's such a ballsy and artistically risky move on his part, negating the comics vision of Superman's home to make it his own. The conceptual art and subsequent direction of the first fifteen minutes is marvelous, so disparate from the loud and cluttered world creation we see today and instead vying for a muted, advantageously dull color palate with serious, formalistic script leanings and performances. Casting Marlon Brando as Jor-El was a stroke of genius. Williams' score is deservedly iconic as well.
What this fundamentally comes down to is what I seek in a superhero film. Personally, the most compelling piece of the Superman character is his place within the world; whether that be as a god or a malevolent (or benevolent) figure. Superman as a symbol, as an ideal and a spiritual icon. Superman taps into this barely, defining the character but again, taking a very whimsical approach to these ideas. The villain, plot and origin story does not work at all here, but other key elements do. The charm, the strengths of Superman can be summed up, or found in one, beautiful and phenomenal scene. After the infamous romantic flight between Lois and Superman, Clark turns up at Lois' apartment for a date and he *almost* comes clean about his dual identity. There's a brief moment where Clark adjusts his bent-over, anxiety-ridden posture and stands tall as Superman does, embodying the confidence, strength and base masculinity that goes with it. After a brief consideration, he decides to wait, and again slumps back down into Clark. Superman's costume is Clark, the hero is his real identity. A wonderful, endearing and loaded twenty second scene that recalls the subtlety superhero cinema has largely lost confidence in. I like this movie a lot, but Snyder has done infinitely more interesting things with the character in his widely maligned two film stint with him.
I gave it a 10/10. I thought about 9/10, but as the movie or at least one of two movies that were parts of my childhood (the other one was Star Trek 1). Those movie series were broad casted in former Yugoslavia at the beginning of the 80's as special movies shown on New Year's, one year some of Superman movies and next year some of Star Trek movies. I was about 10 or something...
So, Superman has stayed as part of my memories about movies, and through time when I saw it again and again, it didn't look old. OK, special effects are not too cool like in Spiderman, but they look better every time.
Today, in this inflation of superhero movies that you forget when you exit the cinema and/or that you wish you didn't see, Superman stays as the the movie of this kind.
Estimates of the movie's costs range between $35-and $70-million; whatever the price, it was not too much to pay. As gods go, Superman is one of the godliest; his movie is one of the best.
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 established as being 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 such as the 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, as 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 it as a cheat, others see it as a 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 says as much). 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 privy as to 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.
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 posed as Clark Kent with Superman in public appearances to make it seem obvious they are two separate people.
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 notion as ridiculous. 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 added as well. 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 cut as well. a5c7b9f00b
