Can you read my mind?


Beautiful sequence....that doesn't get discussed (enough or at all) around here?

It becomes less and less about the visual effects, and more about the intimacy between mortal and immortal. It's filmed like some Fred Astaire dance sequence and displays a sensuality that goes way beyond it's own PG rating. I still get a bit teary-eyed at the beauty of this scene.

Why can't recent superhero movies display this level of maturity (is it a fault of the film-makers or the audience....or both?)

I don't think Superman is "immortal".

As a kid watching this in the theater, I didn't like it that much, but now watching again just this week, I see all the beauty in this scene and makes me really miss the actors.
