CLIP DESCRIPTION:
To keep Clark's (Henry Cavill) powers hidden, Jonathan (Kevin Costner) refuses his help when a tornado is about to engulf him.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
As the planet of Krypton crumbles, General Zod (Michael Shannon) stages a coup as concerned leader Jor-El (Russell Crowe) and his wife send their infant son Kal-El to a distant world called Earth. While the young child travels through space with an object containing the DNA of his home planet, General Zod and his cohorts are sentenced to an eternity in a black-hole prison. Named Clark and raised by kindly farmers Jonathan (Kevin Costner) and Martha Kent (Diane Lane), young Kal-El lives in fear of what might happen should his neighbors learn about his extraterrestrial origins, eventually exploring the world in search of himself. In time, Clark's travels take him to a frozen tundra, where the American government has discovered an 18,000-year-old anomaly buried deep in the ice. Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane (Amy Adams) has just come to investigate when, after venturing out with her camera, she has a profound encounter with Clark. Convinced that his presence on Earth is proof of life on other planets, Lois finds her attempt to publish the story thwarted by her boss Perry White (Laurence Fishburne), who rejects it outright. Later, the airwaves are hijacked by General Zod, who threatens to obliterate the human race if they fail to hand over Kal-El within 24 hours. Forced to embrace his otherworldly origins for the first time in his life, Clark Kent dons the special suit from Krypton and prepares to take a stand against an enemy far more powerful than any he's ever known.

Clark: You’re not my dad.
God: Okay, one tornado coming up. 🌪
Funny af😂
Ben Geiger wtf is a god?
Kail kyri the being that allows you to make that stupid comment
The only "God" that exists is Time itself, without "Time" nothing exists. The "God" these Bible's that uneducated humans wrote so long ago in all religions is false.
seri katil so I’m supposed to believe a god can exist I mean could you prove any gods are real?
Clarks last words to Jonathan: "Look...Dad I....."
Still calls him Dad after what he just said
he may not be his father but he is his DAD. his hero.
His last words were Dad
@The Infinity Nerd damn you beat me to it 😭😂
But also one is to notice that he said that to correct himself because he wanted to be respectful.
Technically, he should have sair "Pa". Clark always called his parents "Ma and Pa".
What makes his death even sadder is that clark’s last words were in spite of his father. He tells him that he isn’t his real father, something any parent could attest is probably one of the most heart wrenching things your child can say to you. Worse being the fact that those were his last words to the only father clark ever knew, or at least, the closest thing to a father he ever had.
@@gezenewsoh ya?
Today many fathers find out that their kids aren’t theirs, so that feeling persists everywhere.
A lot like Peter Parker in the original Spider Man
And despite it all that look Jonathan gives Clark shows that he still loves him and knows that Clark didn't mean all those things.
That's why his dad intentionally committed suicide in front of his family. He wanted Clark to feel the same pain he had just caused his dad for the rest of his life.
Anyone who has lost his father would know how real the pain is. Kudos to Henry for making it feel real.
2:35 pain 😕😞
I felt that when I was 14
my dad died and this scene is still silly and dumb
@@devonbacha4037how literally how
@@StevePerez2900 he got sucked up in a tornado
This is such an under appreciated moment, they made Superman do the one thing that's hard for him - nothing.
"stop, my invincible son"
Almost impossible I'd say, for Clark to just "watch"
Wow you're so right. This was Jonathan Kent's gift to him. The feeling of standing by and doing nothing would turn him into the man of steel who would do everything in his power to save those around him. It echoes the scene in the original Richard Donner Superman but instead of a heart attack it was a tornado.
Clark's post event line is poignant in both films: "All those things I can do. All those powers. And I couldn't even save him.
"
Its just bullshit, nobody knows who they are or their identity, anybody who makes the claims will just be acused of being traumatized by the tornado. I think we can all agree if we have the power to save a loved one but will "expose" our power by doing so we would immediately take that trade. This is so frustrating its such a no brainer here.
No Jonathan dying is a good thing cuz it shows that despite his powers, Clark can't save everyone. It was done well here imo. Also, cars and trucks get better around by the wind but Jonathan barely moves? You sure Clark was the Kryptonian?? 😂
Don’t care what people say... but he makes the perfect Superman.
STAR BOY agree
STAR BOY he has that superman look
Too bad the dcu is dead
Offus Youfus is not it’s just not as popular as marvel
he really is! but zach snyder destroyed superman with such depressing picture. I mean he can go full R rated film without depressing superman, look at deadpool.
"Stop, my invincible son"
How is Clark invincible?
@@zhengyinglitf u mean how
Dude? he is an kryptonian...That tornado wouldnt scratch the dude@@zhengyingli
"Let me die son. Also, if some jerk at a truckstop spills beer on you, don't smash his truck up in the most obvious way possible or this will make my sacrifice meaninglessssssss!"(flies away)
the only thing he knew he had at this time was super strength heat vision/x-ray vision his dad didn't want people knowing he had powers yet because he knew how that would react just like how they reacted in batman v superman ultimate edition it took superman sacrificing himself for people to finally understand what he stood for
The way the humans reacted onces they found out about Clark, literally sacrificing him for their own greater good is exactly the reason Johnathan died in this scene. He knew Clark could save all of humanity but humanity wasn't worthy of Clark. Not because he was "Superman" but because that was his son, and no one is truly worthy of your child.
Jonathan could have easily survived and ran rewatch the scene and count the seconds and when he hopped and the car to when the tornado swept him then imagine in your head how far you couldve gotten even with a hurt ankle with your adrenalane rushing
@@bakihanma839 I'm pretty sure no one can survive a tornado yes some people survived on but not some and when Clark yelled dad I think he used his vision and saw his dad died in that tornado
This comment made me gasp and bawl
@@bakihanma839 his foot was broken... The man can not run
@@miguelanderson4116 he didn't say he could've survived the tornado, he was saying hos even with his hirt ankle and some adrenaline running, he probably could have hopped far enough away, espcially with those extra seconds he had when telling clark to not save him. Thinking about it the tornado didn't even move him until it got right over him,
The fact that Clark would still be able to see his dad swirling around in that tornado is scary
OOF
And hear his pain 😳
Im sorry but LOL
Lmaooooo
Swirling around like a blender.
Henry actually did a really great job changing his voice to sound like a teenager compared to his natural husky deep voice.
Yea he did.
I WAS CONVINCED THAT WAS A DIFFERENT ACTOR HAHAHAHA
they should have used the younger actor, he is so obviously trying to act younger its distracting
I just assumed they got a voice actor for that scene. Kudos to him for changing his voice, he sounds completely different.
@@vanne-necashionofbread9095 Yeah, while they did a good job making sure his voice sounded younger, he physically still looks too old
It's honestly beautiful the way he holds his hand up to say stay there. He just smiles, knowing his fate but knowing his son and wife are going to be ok. One of the best deaths in cinematic history if you ask me.
Terminator 2 was better
@@duomaxwell7190 No, Thankskilling 3 was better
It’s a great death scene indeed. Recently May Parker’s death in Spider-man: No Way Home ws another certified classic
Mel Gibson Braveheart up there
Also Kevin Costner Robin Hood Prince of Thieves up there too
Makes my eyes watery everytime. I have watched this movie like 20+ times and still. The scene,the emotion, the back ground score, it couldn't have been more perfect. Snyder's work is absolute perfection ! I love this movie
I don't get how people can say Henry Cavill is a bad actor. I felt his pain when he yelled "Dad!"
Exactly, and that's what made the scene memorable - it was the only one of its kind in the movie. They needed more scenes making him relate-able.
Atreus21 there was the scene where he had to kill one of his kind and you can feel his pain there too.
to me the pain comes from knowing the last real conversation they had ended with Clark dissing the Kents, and Clark was stopped in the car from apologising (for good reason) so that pain of knowing the person you just had a row with is about to die in front of you and you cant say anything to them (John couldve said something and Clark wouldve superheard it, but John wouldnt have heard anything Clark said)
"Henry Cavill is a horrible actor" - No one ever.
Henry Cavill knocked it out of the park! Superb casting by Snyder and co.
The saddest part is that Clark respected his dad and stood on the sidelines rather than running in and attempting to save him. In that sense he truly did respect his father.
Bullshit stupid father and stupid son duh
DO NOT SEEK SHELTER BENEATH AN OVERPASS!
Jonathan wanted Clark to leave because Clark had a kid with him and his dad didn't want to risk Clark getting hurt in any way possible.
Casper The Cool Cat why not?
@@jaimemedina702 the debris could still hit you
This scene gets me every time...
The fact that Clark had to watch what we the viewers couldn't see is beyond heartbreaking.
Truly fantastic film!
He could have gone in there and saved him and no one would have seen it. He chose to let him die for no reason.
THE ONLY MAN WITH OUT POWERS OR TECHNOLOGY WHO COULD STOP SUPERMAN IN HIS TRACKS....A FATHER
And Lois Lane lol oh...and thanks to BVS so can Batman lol
@@codychase1203 We dont talk about Batman in a move ONLY about Supermans story, we dont do that here.
@@wildhunt6350 it's happened in the comics and the movies I'm just correcting him
@@codychase1203 nah keep that over there. None of that bs here
Batman
1:20 Lady: “She’s stuck!”
Jonathan: *picks her up in 1 second*
Just like the cap of water bottle, somone takes eternity, someone just a moment.
Lol! Hahaha! That makes me laugh for about 3 minutes straight! Hahaha!
What else can you expect from Dad of superman
@@anshul5705 that lady loosen it up for him
Actually the kid inside the car ...
"Stop, invincible son!"
The way he shook his head...heart breaking 🥺💔
The other horrible thing is that Clark’s super sight means he saw everything in that tornado. He saw, in perfect detail, what that tornado did to his father
This sticks with you
Can't he focus his powers to not see everything?
@@Capybara2240 If i am correct, at the time of that, clark hadn't discovered his true powers yet, so he couldn't use them to their full abilities, and we know from previously in the film that he already had XRAY figured out, so he would've seen his dad perish within that tornado.
@@lisaliloui1 yeah he didn't even have superspeed.
I think by this age he probably learned how to do or not do it on command
And with his natural genius brain and further boosted by the sun he has photographic memory. He will remember in perfect detail for the rest of his life.
Kevin Costner was beyond excellent in every single scene as Superman's father.
Agreed, every line he said was meaningful
Yes and yes why no one is mention Kvein Costner!! He was awesome in this movie and this scene brings me to tears everytime I watch it. I am a father and know what it is like to raise 3 boys soon to be men
He was a terrible Pa Kent.
Lies again? Major Master
He is exceptional 😍👍
I like how the car door stands perfectly open in the middle of a tornado.
Anyone who lost a father when they were young knows this hits hard
“You’re not my dad”
I know Clark regrets saying that everyday, that was literally the last thing he said to him.
Technically it's "Wait, Dad I..." so he called him Dad after all
"You're not my Dad" hit much harder
no well he called him dad few moments later..... hehhe
His dad know he didnt mean it
@@DonaldDuck-vu9zf nah technically it's this 1:29 assuming he's dead or can't hear Clark at 2:52
Kevin Costner was the perfect choice for this film, this scene was made just for him.
Am I the only comment to agree with you?hell. He had me when he said "you are my son" in the trailer. Then the kid saves the dog AND says dont save me because the world ain't ready for you? Damn it Robin Hood. You too good
That’s because Kevin Costner is the golden retriever of actors.
One of the last great classic method actors and directors out there, maybe along with Clint Eastwood.
He is so good on Yellowstone
@@derek9153 true he is a bad dad
This also gives Clark the hard truth of how sometimes you can't save everyone. Maybe he could've and maybe he couldn't, but the fact that his dad is the first person in his life that he lost is gut wrenching and a lesson of being Superman
I’m pretty sure he could’ve saved him since he has super speed but he didn’t because he respects his father and listen ed to him when he told him no
A heart attack would've been a better way to do this
@@uncagedmnc956 there was no implifications that Clark knew he had super speed at that point.
@@jaypaul15 speed or no it didn’t matter his father believed it wasnt time for him to use his powers and risk exposing himself so he loved/trusted his father and enough to listen to him
Right, you can't save everyone when the only reason he couldn't save his dad is because his dad didn't want him to
2:12 Dog: "See ya, hooman. I'm getting the hell outta here!".
I lost my dad he's suffered a heart attack I was right there in front of him trying to bring him back to life all I could do was just yelled dad. I know this is just a movie but I can feel his pain great acting
Im sorry 😭
sorry to hear that, i lost my dad for a heart attack too :(
So sorry for your loss that's heartbreaking I wish the best for you and your family I'm sure he's in a better place now 🙏
Sorry for yo loss
I can feel it 2
I would've still saved my dad
Anyone of us would've still saved their dad. And that is what is wrong with this scene not why he went to save the dog instead of Clark. The point was Jonathan was willing to sacrifice his life to keep his son safe and that Clark understood this and he made the right decision. But the superman I would have loved more is the one that makes mistakes and still saves his father no matter what. Jonathan cared more about his son's safety than his own, so why can't Clark care more about his dad's safety than his own too.
common sense and logic made the message go haywire lol
desertfox2001 The dog is a relative though! I wouldn't leave my dog in the car to die!
He is an alien. We aren't
My dad is still in Walmart after all these years. Lucky you
Imagine being more powerful than a planet and watch your loved ones being ripped apart and you just stand there watching,how painful that maybe
This actually brought tears to my eyes. This scene is perfectly constructed. The giant CGI tornado looming overhead tells the audience of the grave danger. Similarly, Zimmer did an amazing job with the score at that point. The absence of music for a solid three seconds stuns the crowd. The writing, cgi, music, and incredible acting all make this scene so powerful.
And pointless. A perfectly constructed scene that had no reason to occur. I mean, Jon could have SHOWN Clark as the two of them could have actually saved people, but no. Tug those heartstrings and ignore the fact that this scene is basically a man committing suicide in front of his family. To prove a point.
@@WevvMang EXACTLY thank you this is the dumbest sacrifice in any movie. Utterly pointless, if he had let Clark save the dog everything would've been fine. Why did he need to go instead of Clark? No clue. Just because the screenwriters needed him to die
CGI makes the twister spin cars around like twigs but Jonathan doesn't even fling
@@WevvMang same as when they had scene with Spiderman dying in Ironmans arms, it wasn't needed.
@@MiKeDaBoMb321 to teach him a lesson. Final words to a person or you may save someone who isn't worthy of saving.
Jonathan's face seems to say: I know you weren't my son. But, I loved like you were my own. 😢
NO IT DIDN'T. JESUS CHRIST what is wrong with you?
At this moment, Clark is just around 19 or 20. Didn't even know his full potential and power. For every dad, his child is precious and he didn't want any harm to his son. So he tried to save the dog on his own. This was a message to Clark from his father that no life is left unchecked. And to protect the people you love from any harm just like his father had done to save him knowing or unknowing that his son is indestructible. It doesn't matter he knew or not, he wouldn't let his child go near any tornado. For him, Clark is not Superman, he is his child. That is what a father would do. You would know if you are one.
Yeah but the writing of the movie is just bad. Could've been something else like a good 'ol heart attack. I think the actor was perfect to play Clark, cinematography and action were all good except the writing. They could've just start as a slow paced origin story and then move on.
Tornadoes are chaotic with lots of small debris whirling about, most of which is harmless. People run through high winds all the time will little to no injury. Clark could've just gone in and retrieved the dog and his dad, no superspeed or anything, and no one would've been the wiser. It's not like jumping in front of a semi going 60 down the highway and people wondering how that's possible.
You're wrong. Clark lifted a bus out of water when he was a child. He knew Clark would have no problem, but he didn't want the problems that would come with having dozens of full adults watch him pull off the act with literally 0 injuries. They called him lifting the bus a miracle of biblical magnitude in the movie, and it was only off the eyewitness accounts of like 11 year olds. You can't chalk it up to imagination in front of adults like you can with them.
When he was around 13 Clark saved a school bus with people in it getting drowned from the sea. Don't say about being potential. It takes moment like these to become potential. Did Clark's father thought of joining him in Xavier's school for gifted in X-Men. Lol..With me being honest, he idiotically made his wife widow and son fatherless
Deep ❤️
This is the reason he didn't go" Bright Burn"
I understood that reference
gaurav mathur THIS IS PERFECT
gaurav mathur I mean, that “Evil Superman” is basically a “NiceGuy” edgelord pretending to be Superman..
Just watched it tonight cuz I saw this comment and damnnn that movie was good more people should see that movie it has such a cool concept
@@alchemist5556 are you talking about brightburn. good idea but like a soup without pepper it was missing something
All the midwesterners knowing going under an overpass is the last thing you’d do in this situation 😂
Is the danger of hiding under an overpass during a tornado common knowledge back in 1997?
@@zhengyingli yeah, was a common myth back then and even still now in some areas. i’d say movies showing them going to the overpass spreads the myth even more unfortunately.
I love the music buildup to when Jonathan puts his hand up and it all goes silent. Henry displayed amazing emotional acting in this scene and after he kills Zod.
True parent would die to ensure the safety of their child. That dad scream pretty much broke my heart
Nicole Salmon Agreed
lol he can save him anyway cause he can move as fast as the flash . his dad is an idiot or maybe hes tired of living with martha. 😂
@@wengxwengx6914 lol yh send a guy who can disguise himself as just a perfectly normal, athletic sprinter young man but nooooo people will immediately assume hes got superpowers if he runs faster and is stronger than an old man. They shoulda thought of a better death. Rest of the movie was great tho from what i remember.
Excuse me he did die for a dog, not for his child..
@@averagebrownguy4193 and wengx wengx .... Clark even states himself that his Dad didn't want him to risk people seeing him expose his powers/presence to the world. The world wasnt ready, it wasnt the right time. I dunno how he would've saved him without everybody seeing. That scene is intended to show two perspectives: Clark's inability to save his own dad and to show how the world would react if it knew he existed if had saved his dad. His father was willing to give up his life to protect his son. Jonathan’s death was to teach Clark about unselfish scarifies for the sake of one’s faith. The fact that he could have saved Jonathan from that tornado , cements this even stronger.
The moment when Jonathan have to teach Clark that he can't save everyone, that the world is not ready for Superman yet. The reason why he is in the shadows at the beginning of the movie. Great scene.
Exactly, instead having a whole scene of explaining that he cant save everyone this scene communicates it perfectly.

(>🍕
Eduardo Carrasco Just a great scene, the cinematography is amazing and how the sounds cuts out when Jonathan puts his had up. Great scene
Also protecting the world from Clark
I'm all for this scene, I think it's one of the best, and I do think that the emotions captured in the scene deliver powerful performances.
I just don't really understand the logic. It's kind of a non sequitur.
You're telling me that Jonathan is teaching Clark he can't save everyone, by forcing him to NOT save him?
That doesn't make any sense at all. Clark clearly had the ability to rescue his own father at that moment in time. If anything, it wouldn't have been the birth of Superman, but rather, an instance of Clark saving his own father without assuming the Superman persona.
Why can't we apply the same logic to the scene where Clark saves the workers of the oil rig? Why wasn't that moment too soon for Clark to show his abilities? There, he was able to rescue more people than just one man and a dog, and in my opinion, an exploding oil rig matches the destruction of a tornado.
No, what I think Jonathan is doing in this scene is teaching his son HOW to sacrifice. He is teaching him that when the cause or the circumstance demands a Superman, that Clark had better be ready to give his life for that cause.
But if you guys are gonna argue that Jonathan is teaching Clark that he can't save everyone, I think that's a flawed argument. That would just be an example of a stubborn father stifling his son's growth as well as Superman's greatness.
No words required for an emotional scene, just the eyes are enough. Henery did a great job there.
That's not a sacrifice that's suicide 😕
its the last thing that clark said to john what makes this scene so devastating
Same with Spiderman 1
That’s why you need to watch what you say to your loved ones. Make sure the last thing you say isn’t something you’re gonna regret
Umar Firdaus ikr this rips everyone’s heart
Not if Jonathan heard when Clark more calmly said "Look ... dad"
he didnt because he shushed him.
I don't understand this scene when i watched it for the first time. Why didn't superman just save everyone and why his father doesn't allow it. But as i got older I realize his father is trying to protect him from the public because with that amount of power while he's still being immature, he's not ready to face the consequences. Imagine being a 19 y.o farm boy and the world is suddenly look up to you and perhaps fear you and you'll get many enemies even with the military. Props to his father.
Also.
Clark doesn't have superspeed .
It's so sad that after all these years people are still blind..
Clark not one used superspeed.
He literally learnt how to fly at 33.
Bvs also proved his dad right
No what's dumb is, he should've went back to save their dog. That was the one thing he had, durability and strength. No one saw what happened to Jonathan's leg in the vehicle but we did, none of the crowd would've seen it either. He could've easily took his foot out, save the dog, day is done. Just didn't like this death. They should've made his death something Clark actually couldn't have stopped even if he tried.
@@sonicthehedgehog1109 lmao
People will then see Superman running in there to save a dog then when it's over people will suspect him for being superhuman becuase he dint die
Plus he doest even know that he has super speed
Even Batman v Superman explained that very reason why he didn't want Clark to save him
The whole media will go crazy and insecure and pull up something crazy
Mad respect to Zack Snyder going full realistic on this take
This scene was truly depressing yet amazing, I remember watching it in the theater, people were crying, so was I
This shed some tears when watching this! So powerful and the pain in his voice
Man his facial expressions, his voice, acting abilities... I really felt that. I like how most of people wonder why he didn't go and save him, but they forget Clark always believed he was a human, unbelievably strong one, but not immortal. Man I really like how in those last seconds before his father died, he really hesitated and didn't know what to do, i just could see his confusion... Such a great acting! That's why probably this movie is in my top 1 place in superhero genre.
Did you not see his father motion to him with both a hand and head shake?
Read more books
@@FlyingSeaMan256 so? Of course I saw it Sherlock. I'm talking about his reaction few seconds before it. It isn't that easy you know to stop when your father signs you to give up on his life. It doesn't work this way.
Your top1 superhero has no Bat nipples in the costume, needs more bat nipples.
@@edc1022 wtf
"but they forget Clark always believed he was a human" at this point Clark already knew he was an alien
For anyone that is in this situation in real life, DO NOT go under an overpass it is out dated information it is more lethal under an overpass as it will act like a wind tunnel and you have only little safety from debris, your best option is to go into a ditch as winds will not be able to lift you in such a small area and you are also safe from flying debris, if you can't find a ditch stay in your car and shelter on the floor of your car and cover your head with a strong object and hope for the best
The scene was set in the 90s or early 2000s, just look at his gravestone. In other words, they were likely trying to accurately portray the times in the scene.
@@jeremycrouch4356 that's a fair point but in the close to unlikely moment where someone that watched this movie is in that situation don't copy what they did lol
@@JRA6192 Wow you sound like an elitist douche bag, I'd rather have a red state education than a blue state indoctrination...

“Stop, my invincible son, do not save my life.”
the only powers they new he had was superstrength and x-ray vision not even clark knew he was invincible
Jonathan Kent still sacrificed himself not only to protect his adoptive son Clark Kent’s secret from the world, but also Clark Kent can learn what it means to be as a human.
I always get chills when the music stops right as Jonathan raises his hand. Hans Zimmer kills it as always and this movie is no exception.
When doesnt he?
"I miss you dad".
"I miss you too, son."
The words I wish I could say to my late father, and him to me.
"No, stop my invincible son, do not save my life."
Clark's not invincible, though.
@@zhengyingli Ah my mistake, allow me correct myself:
"No, stop my Superman son, do not save my life."
@@Pokanikaits not about being invincible you totally dont get the whole purpose of self sacrifice and why Pa Kent didnt want his son to risk exposing himself even if it meant his own life
@@zhengyingli to a tornado, he is.
Then deal with a lot of public and military issues
Such a perfect scene.
Upsetting every time and it really shows the pain leading up to superman’s reveal.
Screw the critics. This was one of the best scenes in Superman history.
Henry Barnill I agree
Right on, I agree with you. Every scene about Kents parenthood is very touching.
its the best to me
It's the worst to me.
+Victor Creed out of all the scenes you think this one is the worst? Gimme a break.

I got goosebumps.
it was heartbreaking. Henry Cavill did an amazing job
Except it didn't make shockwaves like the snyder cuy
@@ramos6021 *cry
And ruptured eardrums
This still hits me hard and the music just adds it to the scene
No matter what yall say this was the dumbest scene i have ever seen in a movie😂🤣🤣🤣
It isn’t but ok
@@samuelopon7037 what made sense about this scene?
This scene was so well done. Just after they had the “you’re not my dad scene” fighting over Clark wanting a life of his own he has to watch his dad give his own life for the sake of Clark being able to have his own normal life instead of revealing to the world his powers to save Jon.
Only problem is, in reality people (especially farmers) wouldn't run towards a tornado to save a dog.
Notice that Clark calls him dad again before ending the debate
This scene shows what a great actor Kevin Costner is. He is very underrated
Ausaf Jalal he won an oscar
I don't know, isn't he pretty famous?
He had me when he said "you are my son" in the trailer. Then the kid saves the dog AND says dont save me because the world ain't ready for you? Damn it Robin Hood. You too good
Absolute conviction that his son needed to learn to be human, grow and mature and also the value of human life, before he let him use his powers in public. He didn't want his son to be corrupted by the world before he became a man of excellent character and values.
Never take shelter under over passes from tornadoes. They are death traps.
This scene is enough to make a grown man cry😢
True, I get emotional every time I see it, specially counting with the music also the way Jonathas walks after hurting his feet is damn sad!!!!
Of anger.
Damn straight. Clark's dad didnt want him to show his powers just yet. The man felt that other people were more important than his life. That's why he tried to get as many people to the underpass as possible and to save their dog.
Not me because the movie it came from sucked
You have no idea
2:35...I cry all the time ...
CoDgAmEr 007 every single time
Like if u cryd evrytim
yeap, crying right now
Me too
Don't matter what other say mos was a good movie
Until his last breath, his dad still try to protect his son.
Protect him from the responsibility for being superman
His dad didnt see him ready mentally.
Its so stupid. Clark could save his father, even in a fast way that no spectator would manage to see between a blink of an eye.
Clark can't move that fast, though.
Clark/Superman can go light speed. You can even see that when he goes against the flash in later movies so..?
@@dariosalas2038He wasn’t as well-equipped with his powers yet ig
One of the reasons the OG is better than this crap. John Kent died of a heart attack, the one thing that Clark couldn't stop with all his superpowers.
Compared to this, where he just...lets him die. Because Snyder loves grimdark.
Clark hadn't learned to fly at that time, nor did he have the super speed. He was barely an adult at the time.
The lesson that Jonathan had been working so hard to teach Clark was restraint. That is the greatest challenge someone like Superman faces. His father knew that the world wasn't ready to learn of his true nature, and he was willing to die to protect his son.
Man Kevin Costner's slight smile at the end to Clark is like saying "I love you son, you'll be okay". And Clark can't do anything but respect his father's wishes...
I remember seeing his scene in the theater and crying. Such a powerful scene
@@oneiroagent make sure it's not John wick's
A man accepts his death with honor.
“Jor-El may have been your father, boy, but he wasn’t your daddy.”
-Pa Kent
I think people just don't get it. Clark's dad didn't want his son to save him because the world wasn't ready for him. Not yet. Not until he can find his alien past. And when he was ready and he understands his destiny, then he can become Superman.
Someone finally understand. You earn a like
It doesn't matter if Johnathan Kent doesn't think the world is ready for someone like Superman, the real Clark Kent would've tried to save his dad regardless of whether or not Johnathan thinks it's a good idea simply because it's the right thing to do.
@@batshineman174 The real Clark Kent does what his dad says...
Well said, some foolish people are just arguing about his acting, depressed facial expression, comparing him chris reeves, Brandon's superman.... Why do they even hav watch it....
@@babalonkie The real Clark Kent does the right thing regardless if his dad agrees with it or not.
the scene represents what manhood really is... is not that macho bs everybody think it is... its putting your family first, knowing you´re expendable if it comes to giving your life for their protection
AlejandroRasmussen7 well said.
He shoulda sent Clark in.
Lol
AlejandroRasmussen7 dog live =/=human live
lol,some men can't even give up their egos n raise emotionally beaten down kids
Like killing doomsday even if you going to die
Man the amount of pain he must of felt through that. Knowing you could have done something but knowing that you couldn’t not yet at least.
"We've been doing the best we can, making it up as we go... maybe our best isn't good enough anymore." - J. Kent.
That is the most realist statement a parent can ever make. Most parents love their children, and work their asses off to give that child a better childhood than what they themselves had, despite their imperfections both as people and as parents, and it's sad that too many people, when they're growing up, don't appreciate all the hard work and sacrifices their parents make for them.
But it doesn't have to be that way. If you're young, and your parents are still supporting you, think about all the things that they could be doing, but are giving up to provide you with what you need, and then ask yourself what you can do for them, to express gratitude, and then follow through.
One day, your parents won't be around, and all you'll have is their memory. You can either look back on it with joy, or with regret, and that all depends on how you treat them now, while you have them.
You didnt need Kevin Costner to PLAY this scene, but with him you belive:
Damm right he isnt his father, but was his Dad.
"he may have been your father boy, but he wasn't your daddy" - yondu
I understood that reference
Ah, yes. The floor here is made out of floor.
@@TheRealBorb there are movies you need to watch to understand this. Not your fault you dont understand stuff, just saying.
@@alexandermarquardt597 I've seen Guardians of The Galaxy before. Just pointing out something funny.
For someone such as myself who really loves and respects his father. This moment is heartbreaking.
I’m a father now. This movie hits different. I love it. ❤
God that tornado became a monster within seconds🥶
dad: *says martha*
batman: WHY DID U SAY DAT NAME
Hail hydra
Meanwhile ironman: i dont care, he killed my mom duh
@@frpsty189 this ain't marvel
Martha, why did you say that name
@@frpsty189 Killing someone's parents or any close relative is a very good reason for anyone to go haywire
Having the same name as your mom is a weird reason to become best friends in 5 seconds.
This movie was ahead of its time. I like darker movies. That’s DC
I wouldn't say that. The Dark Knight trilogy was very dark. So was Watchmen.
@@timmysullivan2515 Look bro, Dark Knight (Batman) will be Dark that is the truth. But Man of Steel is a Dark movie which is ironically because Superman represents “Hope” which people can not find in Darkness...
@@timmysullivan2515 you should really watch more
Deadpool then trolled them lol
No, it sucked. Superman isn't a "Dark" character. Trying to make him one sets you up for an epic fail.
Amazing scene! No future superman movie will be the same without Henry Cavhill
This is one of the dumbest CBM scenes of all time
Terrible, overbearing turgid film.
Jonathan Kent: talk to the hand!✋
Clark: DAAAAAADDDD!!!!
Be honest, who else thought about this moment during the Snyder Cut when Jonathan told Clark "Fly son! It's time."? 😢😢😢😢
I did
Makes me cry when his dad tells him to not save him . That scene means so much in many different ways .
"get your mother to the overpass!" That man knew exactly what he was doing. Saved a lot of people too. No one else can keep em all safe under the overpass if it came to get worse, then superman had to step in!
This makes me cry every time i remember my father suffering from stroke i want to help him but there is nothing in i can do 😥😥
I like he has the Smallville Clark haircut here
noticed that too he looks exactly like Tom Welling in this scene
Finally someone who appreciates SMALLVILLE
Smallville Clark would never let his father die this way thou.
@@omarpanduro4281 yeah his dad woulda had to have gotten saved if he liked it or not in that version 😂.
@@omarpanduro4281 but you're MISSING the point.
Jonathan and Clark had an argument before his death.
The argument is to show Clark is Still young and not ready for the real world.
Pa Kent's biggest fear is the government taking clark and basically doing terrible evil things.
No parent would want that.
So Jonathan knows that Clark isn't READY after all that stuff with him saving the kids on the bus etc.
Pete's mom made it more difficult and kept calling it an act of God.
You must also remember this version of superman doesn't have superspeed.
If he saved Johnathan he would have revealed himself to the people watching.
That would be the last thing Johnathan would want.
So Clark wanting to save his pa listens to his dad and trusts him.
This scene shows how hard it is sometimes, to do the right thing.....
This film is a masterpiece🎆
I like how Jonathan gets that man of steel deep drum beat in the music here just as Clark does in his music in this film. It’s a subtle detail but it shows that Jonathan possessed many of the Superman characteristics, and that Clark wouldn’t have become the moral person he was without the attributes being passed onto him from his adoptive parents.
Clark: You're not my dad!
Jonathan: ✋
This scene makes me cry.
Mudkip Senior me to bro ...
Same...
No it doesn’t it’s stupid
Mudkip Senior yeah its stupid fook the mayweathers
me too
Here I am back in 2019, this is still a powerful unforgettable scene
The most unintentionally hilarious scene in movie history.
Talk To The Hand. ✋
The acting is spectacular. Henry Cavil is awesome, acting as a teenager with that piercing scream at the end. Kevin Costner....what can I say?.. that final look to Clark..
Kevin Costner in this movie is great. Flawless.
any movies
Not always a Costner fan, but he was perfect in this.
Yeah, him and Russell crowe were amazing as supporting actors. Including Shannon as zod. I wish they kept crowe as jor el with the series going forward. :p
Agree. Only Kevin Costner can tell a hero like Superman to stop.
This is the last great Kevin Costner role
"Stop my invincible son."
This still gets me everytime
This has to be the most sad scene I've ever seen in a movie. Makes me tear up every time, knowing you lost your dad like that and with your super sight seeing EVERYTHING that happened to him. Absolutely heartbreaking and they definitely knew how to make someone cry. RIP.
This scene gave me goosebumps...😭😭
MOS was literally a masterpiece..❤️
Yeah a damn shame Warner Bros ruined all the potential this movie carried with it into the DC universe
Are you kidding me? This movie was a POS. And this whole scene was completely contrived and implausible. Makes no sense.
and even that, there are some ppl who says "Snyder doesn't understand superman" 🤦
@@decibell81 Well, Warner surely doesn't know what to do with the DCEU, they're about to kill it and star over with an all female lead.
@@mystical9054 Im pretty sure his dad was an illusion of sorts. The man lietteraly did not movie a millimeter in a freaking tornado. Also, it's very deep as Clark is still controlled by his father's wishes.
this scene has to be one of the greatest emotional trains i ever been on. feeling rebellious > frustration > anger > remorse > panic > awe > fear > helpless > regret > pain...the emotional built up is just spot-on.
But it's all ruined when you realize how many parts of it don't make any sense.
SWI I would think logic and emotions don't go hand in hand.
sfts But when you realize nothing that's happening should be happening it ruins it.
SWI but what's happening should be happening, so it doesn't ruin it.
sfts hmm The Anti-life Equation haha
I cry everytime at this scene it's a powerful scene
There was literally a dozen different ways he could have saved him without revealing his identity but ya know...DRAMA
The entire scene was created to convey the hard lesson that Clark learns from his father.
The point was to show that Clark can’t save everyone and would have to deal with people dying right in front of him no matter how much power he has at his disposal
Exactly
Plot holes
thank you for being brave enough to speak the truth
