Siêu nhân (the Movie) is one of my yêu thích films of all time. Though I didn't enjoy the sequels as much (with the exception of Siêu nhân II), I fell in tình yêu with Siêu nhân and his alter ego Clark Kent from the start. But I actually fell in tình yêu with Christopher Reeve. I was absolutely, without a doubt in tình yêu with the. In a way, he was my first love. bạn know that's kind of funny to me now, looking back and realizing it to be true.
I watched Siêu nhân and Siêu nhân II over and over again. I remember particularly enjoying the tình yêu story parts. I really liked when he was Clark Kent and his interactions with Lois Lane. One part that stands out to me even now is the part in the the original film where he and Lois get mugged. He secretly saves her and she never even knows. I also enjoyed when Lois fell in the water at Niagra Falls, expecting Siêu nhân to save her and being disappointed when he didn't (when in fact he actually did). And then when she actually figured out without a doubt that Clark Kent was superman, I would rewind that part over and over and watch it. Funny, while boys were rewinding a certain part of Fast Times at Ridgemont High, here I was rewinding Superman. Dorky I know, but I loved it. And I never grew tired of watching it.
I even watched the Making of Siêu nhân over and over. Christopher Reeve hosted it, with his 70s looking hair. That shaggy hair bothered me though. I wanted him to have Siêu nhân hair all the time, I suppose. So funny looking back on that now.
When I found out that Christopher Reeve had the accident that paralyzed him, it really affected me. This man, that I still loved after all these years, was not the "man of steel" I had always thought he was. He had become so much thêm than that through all of his causes and becoming a spokesperson for those who were going through the same thing. It is still amazing to me the kind of man he became as a result of the trials and hardships he had faced.
When he passed away, I was deeply saddened for quite a while. In a lot of ways it was like losing a member of the family hoặc a friend you've had forever. I grew up watching him, whether it was Siêu nhân hoặc Somewhere in Time hoặc whatever film. I shall never forget this extraordinary man and how he was truly thêm of a super man than I had ever perceived as a child.
