coverblackCreative choices. The tornado scene intended a “cave of questions” to organically shape Clark’s character, rather than 12-years in an actual literal cave. Exploring why the alternatives of Jonathan living, saving a child, or dying of natural causes frustrate this intention. How to find themes and how this scene fits-into and supports those themes.

“If you wanted and expected sameness, perfection, tradition, and safety… why in the world would you ever invite an alien immigrant into your life? The alien immigrant represents something new, different, foreign, and challenging.”

Answers, insights, and commentary on:

  • Jonathan dying a hero or in a clearly unavoidable way issues
  • What the tornado teaches Clark better than the heart-attack
  • Nonlinear telling softens tragedy and sets the stakes for following acts
  • Interpretation beyond creator intent
  • The pain of birth is worth the potential
  • Organic is better than engineered
  • How the film shows multiple facets to every profession
  • Defying film formulas to set stakes
  • Japanese art of Kintsugi and its philosophy
  • How Superman and Batman approach brokenness differently
  • Remembering brokenness and restoration in religion
  • Should Superman be more unbreakable than Jesus?
  • The climate of angst that gave rise to Superman
  • How an immigrant hero in 1938 causes cognitive dissonance
  • Superman’s heritage of controversy and questions
  • Kintsugi applied to the tornado scene and Batman v. Superman

…and more!
