Christopher Reeve was pretty based. Doctors told him to give up and he told them to eat shit and ended up revolutionizing our understanding of the nervous system.
He broke his neck and became paralyzed from the neck down and spent the remainder his life trying to figure out ways to get moving again instead of accepting the situation, and in doing so he proved that nervous function can indeed be willed into paralyzed parts of the body. Not enough for it to restore him completely, but it at least proved that there is, indeed, hope for people who become paralyzed.
No idea. That brief look at his story was an anecdote that was referred to in book I'm currently listening to in order to convince myself to quit avoiding tasks that I find to be painful.
Ah I see, thank you kindly, I wish more serious research was done on these matters, it feels like the scientific community has collectively given up on understanding the human potential for self healing.
>have a feeling the CGI hasn't aged well.
There's a scene of him quickly flying up into the sky that looks better than the same thing that happened in the Marvel's. I'm not even joking
Apparently they used projection, body rigs and rotating camera rigs. For scenes where Superman is flying away or parallel with the camera they used a blue screen.
Kind of ironic they have to put effort into flight because as I understand it superman was given the power of flight because it was easier to animate than running
They're all good. The 4th as well. It's only bad at the very end when they famously ran out of budget cause the production company shut down and the film skips a few obvious scenes and then it just jump cuts to superman fighting for no reason with really awful effects.
How did they do the flying scenes? I always imagined him lying on one of these. When I was a kid and school finished at noon on Wednesdays, I had to take a walk to the school where my mom worked. And wait there until she was finished. I basically had the place to myself and there were really long hallways. I'd take a chair like this and sprint as fast as I could, then throw myself on my belly on it and fly like Superman. It was pretty hard to not swerve. Yes, it was cool to have a school building and unlimited access when nobody was around.

anything involving bluescreen compositing is obvious and tacky
there are a few examples where it works well, but mostly the lighting/texture/detail level are so different in the elements that it stands out.
and the glowing/fuzzy edges dont help.
But its all there was at the time, pros tried to do everything in camera one way or another and the difference is huge, see; flight of the navigator
I had a crush on him.

I did not know about that second part, interesting, what could I read to know more about it?

Can someone tldr me this?
Is it maybe similar to picrel?
NTA. But maybe here

He was not an butthole though. YTA.
real life superman, damn
>muh big american positivity
>muh anything possible if you believe enough
he never recovered and he eventually died from his injuries
Personally, I find his determination to be inspiring.
We all eventually die. So what is your point? Everyone is going to remember him. Will people remember you?

fixed that for you 🙂
Only good super hero movies

Yes. You're lying not joking.
Not that anon but Reeve's flying sequences are dated but still hold up very well. I still prefer it and Reeve made it feel realistic.

Better than Snyder shit although man of steel was good
>man of steel was good
Can't wait for this meme to die out.
And good morning sir.

Hack-Man was a great Lex Luther
There's definitely a few visuals that have aged poorly but they're still pretty good
Were they even trying?

The CGI doesn't look very good but Clive Roove was pretty old
He later died and ended up in a wheelchair with rockets
There isn't any CGI in the film, you zoomer homosexual.
70s cgi looks realer than anything else
The first movie is great. Not the director's cut. The original. And Christopher Reeve is the natty goal for all men.
