The second coming of Christ?
Was unusually empty in the large, called the "red" room in our local cinema, and after all, susceptible to the big Hollywood spectacle, the audience is usually filled up to the brim, the space of this room, especially in the first days of the premiere. About what premiere there is a speech? Of course, about the updated, restarted, how can anyone, "Superman", sorry, "Man of steel".
Note that are not a fan of the original character — one of the oldest comic book characters in the history of American popular culture, so hardly will be able to evaluate the film with the point of view of comparing it with the previous adaptations. However, familiar with the history development and frequency of appearance on the big and small screens. And, well, but still love Zack Snyder, whose picture yourself in itself can be viewed frame by frame with a magnifying glass in the hands — few in modern cinema can do so "beautiful," so still most of his paintings will call is meaningless for content. A rare combination.
So, Superman was born a long time ago, and inherently the beginning, carried in itself the concept of the whole American nation, which, as you know, she was born out of immigrants who fled from persecution with the European continent, and USA today are proud of their melting pot. In fact, in the Superman show the entire nation — with all difficulties they had to face. But it lyrics — in the film Zack Snyder Superman suddenly became clearly discernible features of this Messiah, which was the Son of God. Judge for yourself: according during the interview with the dungeons of the Pentagon, the main character says 33 years and the meaning of the narrative to lead the entire human mass and take her for themselves, his main purpose, it must sacrifice in the name of salvation and well-being of the entire planet. But, in contrast the sad fate of Jesus Christ, who finished his earthly journey betrayed by those for whom he went to the Great Sacrifice, our hero really came to the yard — no wonder, his father says about "right time and right place". And then, you want — laugh, you want — no, the movie turns into a warning message to all members of the human race: if fatal for the whole world the Messiah's Coming did take place, people must be ready to receive Him, and to avoid the mistakes of thousands of years ago.
That form, then wonder less — the usual comics on the big screen, with only one difference consisting in the Director — Snyder well so inventive and beautifully delivers each frame, making the picture as much as possible. Of course, in this merit operator, Amir, Macri — if the screen fishing boat, then be sure the smell of fish and the harsh sea wind will be so tangible as possible. Of course, in terms of special effects, modern audiences are difficult to surprise, — here there are absolutely stunning scenes of the flight of the hero, especially in fighting scenes where the characters move with the speed of light, turning everything on its path. Some storylines repeat marvel "Thor" up to fight on the Central street of a small provincial town with fatal consequences for the latter.
Promised by the creators study the complexities of becoming invulnerable superhero said, according to appear in a few flashback scenes of the childhood of Clark Kent (earth name Kal-El, our hero), but let's be honest — who ever expected it? All investigators have watched "Smallville", where it has devoted a full 10 seasons.
The main property of a painting as is no strangely, the actors. Who would say, Henry Cavill — just a perfect Kal-El, it is Superman. Even in photos premiere of "Man of steel" Cavill looks like some ancient sculptor molded a perfect statue of one of the Greek gods and the customer was very pleased. He was able to convey the immediacy, simplicity, and in the universal power and strength, despite his sinlessness, not so nauseating and perilisan flat as some Captain America. In his Superman felt life that it is quite difficult to pass, given that the character impossible to kill. Amy Adams, fragile and beautiful, plays the romantic subject of claims Clark, you might say, the quintessence of all his love for humanity. In the result was the canonical Lois lane — the journalist who first noted what is a simple farm boy Clark Kent, so as the comic source, she was older than Kal-El. Michael Shannon played General Zod — very charismatic character, in the military, trying to restart a destroyed planet krypton on the ruins of our your bones, i.e., on the planet. This character empathize, as but war and lack of feelings inherent poor humans, it is nothing life is not know. Up to the end of his life he has remained faithful to his ideals that is worthy of praise. Loved the German Antje Three — like a typical "bad girl", but with a twist, and looks soooo cool, just indescribably cool if it is permissible to describe in simple slang impressions of her character. Loved the music by Hans Zimmer, which dog ate the epic, large-scale orchestral soundtracks, and there are many beautiful melodies which play a role not less than actors. However, as ideally, there should be in every Big Movie. Snyder steers great effect, especially in action scenes, but easy soaring as the flying Kal-El film is not call — it can be compared with massive, heavy biblical spectacle, which, despite the number of drawbacks, came a very entertaining and interesting.
But "Messianic" storyline that caught my attention, cut down on the root of the optimistic ending, which, of course, is easily explained. Well in one scene where Clark knocks all shit General Zod, dare to threaten his earthly mother, have a lot can be forgiven. But here is the phrase — "I — American" — a terrible mistake: the trick of Superman in that have no nationality, he, for the idea is over all Nations, peoples, outside of political institutions and blocks should be in the case of the new Messiah. Anyway, the finale looks threatening — Kal-El agrees to cooperate with the Pentagon "on their terms", that should inspire universal fear in the hearts of the inhabitants of those States suffer from the political ambitions of their leaders. Well so, on topical.
Total: Kinomax with unusual Arthouse flavor, with good actors, great music, and interesting allusions occurring in as you browse. But there is room to grow and develop. Considering how DC is not lucky adaptations, it — big move forward.
