    I don't care if Brando didn't memorize his lines or rejected the role. He made HIS Jor El. The vocie, the presence, the feelings through the eyes....is a proof that Marlon Brando is THE ACTOR

    His words are haunting yet comforting. The first act of this move has almost a biblical tone. Doesn’t treat SM as a cartoon, but a mythical being sent from far away to protect the planet. Brando’s mere presence in this film gave it respectability as well as box office appeal. No other actor could have captured the essence of Superman’s father. Many variations, reboots and interpretations have been created, but I will always come back to this movie.

    No version of baby Kal-El being placed in the escape ship will ever beat this version because of Jor-El last words to Kal-El before being sent to Earth. This scene is what modern comic book movies are missing, this is why even the great Marvel artist Stan Lee called this movie Superb, it shows heart in the characters, it writing and dialogue is just incredible. Most of Marvels films are just getting tiring because it’s almost just action and comedy, barely any human dialogue. Take the new Spiderman films, there just constant action, and comedy. Comic book movies today are just not as deep and philosophical as Superman 1978.

    I always found it interesting the way color was used in the Krypton scenes. The world is blue, the star is red, but Kryptonian society was colorless. The costumes, the sets, even the spaceship. However, Kal El’s clothing is red, yellow, and blue and the crystal Jor El gives him is green. In an earlier scene where Zod breaks a crystal, it’s red. I’m sure this was explained somewhere by Donner or the writers. Does anyone know the story?

      No, but the show Krypton depicted the planet as being in a perpetual night-time ice age because its sun had grown to a red giant and therefore wasn't emitting the requisite stellar radiation a G-type star like ours would to give them the powers.

    • @LordZontar
      @LordZontar 3 роки тому +11

      I'm not certain of the story behind these choices, but the symbolism is readily apparent. Kryptonian society, and the attitudes of its people, were effectively frozen in place, like ice. They were old and static, rigid in their thinking, unable to even conceive of change or the possibility that their perfect cut-jewel world could ever come to an end. They no longer had the spectrum of possibility because they were the past. Kal-El is the future. The colours of his swadling cloth and the green crystal included in his escape capsule represent the myriad of choices and possibilities that would be available to him but were otherwise forever shut off to Krypton and its people.

    • @katec9893
