Superman

“Did you consult with the President before entering Boravian airspace?” [sighs] “No.” “The Secretary of Defense?” “Nope.” “Or... any US official before you took matters into your own hands and decided unilaterally how to handle this extremely delicate situation?” “Ghurkos and his goons were going to kill people!” “Yes, but the results of you seemingly acting as a representative of the United States will cause more problems around the world...” [talking over Lois] “I wasn't representing anyone, except for me! And- and myself! And- and- and... good, I dunno, doing good!” [continuing] “…more than a war that lasted between 12 and 24 hours and was just replacing one tyrannical regime with another!” “Is that really how you feel?” “I'm not the one being interviewed, Superman! But I- I'd question it, yeah! I would question myself in the same situation, and hold off a beat and consider the consequences!” “PEOPLE WERE GOING TO DIE!” Superman and Clark are two separate identities so I’m counting them both for this review thing I’m doing - I’m also including two quotes from the movie because Clark shows up more often than Superman does in this film in my opinion, in the best way possible “You piece of shit, alien!” “That is where you've always been wrong about me, Lex. I am as human as anyone. I love, I-I get scared. I wake up every morning, and despite not knowing what to do, I put one foot in front of the other, and I try to make the best choices that I can. I screw up all the time, but that is being human, and that's my greatest strength. And someday, I hope, for the sake of the world, you understand that it's yours too.” This scene is Clark reaching out to Lex, I hope we see their dynamic go through similar stages in Man of Tomorrow but I do also want more 1A! so on and so forth. As a theatre kid, David Corenswet, in my opinion, perfectly manages to embody the goofiness of Clark, he is totally empathetic and human to a degree that you watch him and think I SHOULD be more like him. I should care about every single person. I just love the way he is written and portrayed, it’s honestly great (I have to comment on this film being dethroned from my favourite favourite film spot by Project Hail Mary - they’re both complete Hopium movies but the actual sense of strength and courage in PHM makes me love it that little bit more; Rocky as well is just insanely peak and Ryan Gosling is magnificent 😁)
