I have never seen Superman in the theater. But even in video form the movie had a huge impact on me. How huge? A couple of weeks ago I went to see mission impossible 3. As we were watching the previews, I suddenly heard the unmistakable voice of Jor El (marlin Brando) suddenly images began to hit the screen, and with them the music that have always brought a chill. By the end of the preview (although it felt like more of a spiritual experience) I was in tears. Why? Because the preview brought forth those feeling from when I was a kid and for a slight moment I felt like an awe inspired kid again.
While many seem skeptical about the new movie, let me just say that I support it completely, if only because this movie look, feels, and sounds like the originals. A few people are just afraid that the new actors cannot fulfill what they remember, but that's not the point. The point is not the actors but the performance, the roles.
How many people sit down after a hard day, look at their kids, and wish that they could be young again?
For me, that's what the upcoming movie is- a chance, just for an hour or so, to feel like a kid again. I can't wait.
