After The 3rd watching

Rating: 6/10 (7 August 2019)

The film starts with Jor El the father of superman trying to save his planet after the near doom because of the mistake of using the core of the planet to generate power , and when everyone was on some sort of a plane he was riding an animal , it's like he was the only one dependent on nature when everyone forgot about it
i could spot something after the 3-4 time i watched this movie , at the first part especially of the scene f young Clark talking to his father the camera was very shaky as if it mirrors the self doubting and the feeling of loss that he's feeling back then , he wasn't sure of what he should do , he thought of choice as a burden and his powers as a curse not as a blessing
he's a very reluctant person , he's always seeking an advice from the people around him like his mother or father or the church , he's always afraid to lose control which will cause hurting those around him , he's reading Plato's The Republic which states that:
' Glaucon: They will tell you that the just man who is thought unjust will be scourged, racked, bound - have his eyes burnt out, and, at last, after suffering every kind of evil, he will be impaled: Then he will understand that he ought to seem only, and not to be, just....'
it seems like the more intelligent you become the more cocky you become and the more mistakes you commit , this is why the race of krypton with their vast intelligence made wrong decisions which led to their own destruction because they became more machines with a pre determined role than men , and this is why Clark is truly the superman because he's the bridge between them , he embodies the best thing about both races , the strength of krypton and the passion of earth
Here we could Fully understand that the race of krypton was a parasitic race as they 'expanded' to other planets and reshaped them to their needs in order to build their own settlements on them and surely they fought some wars against the natives of every planet they conquered , it looks like superman is trying to correct the mistakes of his race and to prove to himself that he's not evil like them by saving humanity and ensuring their freedom
and here we have to talk about the other star of the show m General Zod
'I exist only to protect Krypton , That is the sole purpose for which I was born. and every action I take , no matter how violent or how cruel , is for the greater good of my people.'
this is the Motive of Zod , the same one as jor el but with a different strategy , the only one he knew , he's a genetically engineered being bred to only fight for his people , he doesn't understand how to solve his problems with words and compromises but only with guns , he doesn't understand the co-existence relationship but only the predator-prey's one
He's the opposite of superman , he knows what he wants and how he should get to it and doesn't think twice about it or ask for advice from anyone , he's a leader by birth , even his emblem is closer to that of the ultra man which is the evil version of superman
and this is one of the most things i like about this movie , it has a real villain who had an interest that's against that of the hero , who sees the world from a different pov than that of the hero , he wanted to kill humans and some bloodlines of krypton not because he hated them but because it was the best for what he thought the greater good
the first real/hard choice Clark made wholeheartedly was when he chose earth over krypton which he doomed a failure and that includes when he killed general zod
he's already an outcast of both earth and krypton but he doesn't care , and that what made him superman , that he's above everyone else and focuses only on what matters the most , he doesn't ask whether these people worth saving or not ,that's the element of choice and he stood for what he believed was right
at the end , i think of this movie as one of the best superhero movies ever , it had everything from a great origin story to a real hero and a real villain and a great conflict and great action , and i hope everyone to watch it without any prejudice and to enjoy it as i have.
