Superman Returns 6-30-06


One of the coolest lines in a film is in this trailer for the much anticipated Superman Returns (select player at bottom of screen). In case you miss it, here is the line from Jor-EL (Superman's dad) to Superman (Kal-EL): "Even though you have been raised as a human being, you are not one of them. They can be a great people, Kal-EL, they wish to be...They only lack the light to show the way...For this reason above all, their capacity to do good, I've sent them you, my only son. Does this not ooze spiritual overtones!?! The story of Jesus Christ, the original Super(Son of)Man, is paralleled with an awesome soundtrack for added emotion (if the little hairs on the back of your neck don't stand up when you see the Kent's mailbox in the forefront of the Kansas sunrise with John Williams' theme playing, you might not be a fan of Superman). Just thought this was really cool.
