Goodbye Superman
Some of you may have been at my apartment on drunken late nights when I have forced my guests to watch my favorite scenes from ‘Superman: The Movie.’
This movie just knocked me out when I was ten years old, and I still love it today. The brilliant theme by John Williams never fails to send a chill up my spine.
My favorite scene—which, to the amusement of my guests, I have argued emphatically as the “greatest moment in cinematic history”— is our first glimpse of Superman as he takes flight from the “Fortress of Solitude.”
Still gives me goosebumps.
Rest in peace, Christopher Reeve.
