This Is My Favorite Movie Of All Time
|
This is, in my opinion, the best film ever made. Period.. OMG! The casting is PERFECT! The direction is PERFECT! The music is PERFECT! The cinematography is PERFECT(Geoffrey Unsworth had to shoot the film in soft focus so that all the cutting edge, state-of-the-art effects would meld together)! The acting is PERFECT! The writing is PERFECT! And as far as the theatrical cut is concerned the editing is PERFECT! This film is just plain magical in every way possible. Maybe you had to be there, well I was, therefore I know what I'm talking about, believe me. I had the Superman poster of him(Christopher Reeve) pointing up at the sky on my bedroom door, o.k.! I had the Superman doll from the movie that came with a Superman t-shirt, o.k.!
This movie was spectacular, realistic and a lot of hard work went into it by numbers of people. The hard work shows, as the result is better than anyone could have imagined.
This film brings to life, in the most PERFECT way possible at the time, the comic book character Superman. The casting of Christopher Reeve couldn't have been more PERFECT! The believable emotion and humanity that he brought to the role is immeasurable. Richard Donner knew what he was doing and it is remarkable that the film turned out as well as it did with the producers he had.
The film covers the origins of Superman up to his first adventure up against his arch nemesis Lex Luthor(brilliantly played by Gene Hackman). He starts his job at the Daily Planet as mild mannered reporter Clark Kent. Is introduced to Lois Lane and Jimmey Olsen by Perry White on his first day. The rest is history. The adventure began and it was wonderful, a glorious debut of a franchise. It also began my love affair with Margot Kidder(as Lois Lane). I so fell in love with her watching this film, and have been ever since. No woman can match up to what Margot is to me, did I forget to mention that she's PERFECT in the film?
I've often wondered what makes "Superman :The Movie" so credible and loved. I think I've figured it out. Any film, with a cameo by such a well known(then) film critic as Rex Reed, has to be good. Between Rex and John Williams' majestic score, Richard Donner and Tom Mankiewicz' vision, some(for the time) cutting edge effects, and some really great performances it had to be great, and it's even better than that. I just LOVE this film, it makes you feel so good when you watch it, most likely I feel this way for nostalgic reasons, but so be it. Avoid "Superman Returns" at all costs and stick with the REAL Superman, the ONLY Superman, Christopher Reeve. This is the best film based on a comic book EVER!
