Superman
My love for film mainly comes from my father. He showed me a number of films throughout my childhood that formed me into the person I am today. One of, if not the most impactful of those, was Superman (1978). For years now I’ve seen many comic book movies, some of which I’ve loved and some of which I’ve hated. But none of those have filled me with the sense of joy and hope that Superman did all those years ago. I’m very happy to say that has now changed. This movie is everything I wanted it to be and needed it to be. Is that to say it’s perfect? Certainly not. But it’s perfect for me. And it’s perfect for that kid that lives in me.The movie is corny and goofy in all the right ways. The actor’s performances are great. The movie is also unabashedly comic booky which I love. Please go out and watch Superman as soon as you can. And thanks dad.
