While I greatly appreciate having the opportunity to see this footage, I honestly greatly prefer the way it was done in the final theatrical release. Why? Well, I feel that the way this situation was handled in the theatrical movie was more realistic and was something each of us can relate to. Many of us have spoken to deceased relatives and asked them for guidance or assistance, etc and we are never going to have them appear in front of us and have a whole conversation with them, like in this sequence. However, we do sometimes see a subtle sign which we might interpret as a response from our loved one, and it reinforces the feeling that they are there with us or watching over us. For me, when Superman tells his dad that he failed and he wishes he could hear him, and then after a brief silence he looks over and sees the green crystal lighting up, that really creates an experience that I can relate to. Whereas in this particular scene shown here, I can't really relate to it at all. It doesn't really bring out any emotion for me, because it's just pure fantasy and is lacking a sense of realism.
It’s ridiculous to believe that Jesus gave his life for “our sins”. If that were true then it doesn’t matter what anyone does in this life, because Jesus has guaranteed paradise for everyone. Clearly that doesn’t make sense & is clearly untrue.
Years ago, I had a pen holder that was made of three plexiglass tubes that were stuck together. Everytime I slid a pen down into them, I thought of the Fortress of Solitude.
This version is so much more meaningful than the Lester version. It never loses sight of the emotional aspects of being an exile in effect, from a place and a people that no longer exist and how this plays out in father-son relationships etc. Marlon Brando was worth every penny, he imbues the role of Kal-El with so much feeling.
Christopher Reeve was and always will be Clark Kent/Kal-El/Superman to me. He's the best version there's ever been in movies, cartoons, tv shows or comic books. R.I.P Christopher Reeve, Marlon Brando & Margot Kidder.
I think about son becomes the father and father becomes the son and What does it mean? I think the father has finally passed all his knowledge and life/energy is no more....that is how the son becomes the the father. He is now the father because HIS father is no more. The father becomes the son is the same as the above. The father's knowledge and memories now is given completely to the son to be passed on to his son.
DC could make a TV show about an alternate reality beginning in this scene, but kal-el is not be able to become superman again and the world must figure out a way to fight Zod. Showing many politicians siding with Zod as they likely would in the real world.
1:00 "You will travel far, my little Kal-El. We will never leave you, even in the face of our death. The richness of our lives shall be yours. All that I have, all that I've learned, everything I feel ... all this and more, ... I bequeath you, my son. You will carry me inside you, all the days of your life. You will make my strength your own, and see my life through your eyes, as your life will be seen through mine. The son becomes the father, and the father the son. This is all I ... all I can send you ... Kal-El."
Just watched this the other night at a special anniversary screening. I was blown away by this scene. As a son and now father I found this scene to be very emotional.
I'm terribly sorry, I like this version of Superman II but Richard Lester replacing Richard Donner in Superman The Movie. Alex (Megan Ward) like the theatrical version of Superman II but we like Richard Donner.
Only thing the theatrical cut did better was the ending that was top teir
Great scene!😊
This is the best Superman ever with Christopher Reeve and Marlon Brando wow!
Par don

The son becomes the father and the father becomes the son. What does it mean?? Explain anyone please explain it to me

I TURNED IN MY GREEN CRYSTAL.
No matter we could always go back to THE FATHERHOOD. WE LEAVE GOD BUT HE NEVER LEAVE US.

Hi
On the plus side, at least he got it back while also getting his father's arm around him. Something he wanted since Superman I.
Years ago, I had a pen holder that was made of three plexiglass tubes that were stuck together. Everytime I slid a pen down into them, I thought of the Fortress of Solitude.

I’d never know the power of a son and father until I had my own.
Salute to Christopher Reeve no one can perform the role of superman the way you did..
Christopher Reeve was and always will be Clark Kent/Kal-El/Superman to me. He's the best version there's ever been in movies, cartoons, tv shows or comic books. R.I.P Christopher Reeve, Marlon Brando & Margot Kidder.
Well said mate 👍🏻💯

I'd like to know the process by which he is made super again, will it only work for former kryptonians?
All because he got his butt kicked at a bar

TH-cam really recommended me a 16 year old video
I think if I had to choose I prefer him just picking up the Crystal and it starting to flow then cut to da da da dah, da da da, da da da dah - etc.
I remembered it that way I was surprised to hear Ras-El calling him carl instead of kalel
Father, I wrecked the Lamborghini! Son, I am disappoint
His mom Lara spoke to him in Superman 2 not his father Blessings and Hugs 💖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 💕💕💕💕
Brando as always magnificent and spell blindingly brilliant
Watch it again as a metaphor for God the Father, and you... turning back to Him after a life of sin and darkness.
in difrent but we create
This is awesome!

What a scene Donners cut....Henry cavill can carry on looking up in the sky with his gel hair
A lot more dramatic then we got in the finished movie. I wonder if they will piece it into a new movie.

⭐ JESUS CHRIST-AWESOME

I really have to work little girl.
This was the original (deleted) Donner cut, wasn’t it?
I'm terribly sorry, I like this version of Superman II but Richard Lester replacing Richard Donner in Superman The Movie. Alex (Megan Ward) like the theatrical version of Superman II but we like Richard Donner.
I don't understand why couldn't he just be with Lois as kal-el. I know why it's just stupid. Lol...still the greatest Superman ever 👍🏻🦸🏻
Why was this deleted again?
