are you joking? i am trying to have a debate with you.
your whole post is copy/paste dialoge from the movie .and you are describing scenes from the movie. i am not trying to change your opinion of the movie. i am asking you why couldnt he do it alone. wouldnt you?
you wrotte
Jonathan's teachings were all about "Someday, you'll have to make a decision on what kind of man you want to become." but he doesnt. he doesnt make this choice. before finding the ship he is doing what his father told him. hidding. and he is hidding like a cat or a dog. after he talks to the hologram he does everything the hologram tells him. the hologram told him that he can save her and save all of them.
at the end you wrotte that i dont get it. that is not nice. since my whole post was asking questions and writting that i disagree with the decision that the creative made. it doesnt have to be black and white. i like you or i dont like the movie. i am right or you are wrong. it can be more complicated. we can have deep debates.
t:
that my internet friends is whats scaring me. the internet is changing. i understand that you get very short opinions about movie on bodybuilding and car forums . MOS is praised on those forums. MOS is a badass movie to those people who go in the theater to see action and badass man punching and kicking. but i hope we on SHH are doing something more then just writting like ,hate,bad,good.
I hate for my first post to be jumping into a debate, but I kind of feel the need to hop into this discussion.
It feels as if you are misconstruing what was said. Yes, Jor-El said to Kal, "You can save them". This was not an order. This was an encouragement, a statement of the purest truth: Kal had the capability to save people.
Clark could have stepped back and said, "No, not this way", or perhaps, chosen to not involve himself in the battle at all. He could have chosen to work with Zod.
Jor-El explained what he hoped could be accomplished by Clark. He wanted him to know, and feel encouraged by the ideals and dreams of his biological parents. Clark was shaped by the ideals and dreams of his adoptive parents. The Kents gave Clark a sense of responsibility, a moral compass, they taught him love and compassion, and they showed him that there are humans with value, that there are people in the world worth saving.
Now, you can question the wisdom of the parents. Of course; they are not perfect people. And this was perhaps my favorite thing about the movie: Everyone was flawed. There was no perfect character, no perfect person. Superman, both sets of parents, the military, Lois...they all made mistakes. There were not-so-great decisions made. And that made the film more enjoyable for me, because I could totally understand the motivations of every single character, even if I found their choices to be wrong or questionable. It's one of the few super hero films where I have felt empathy for, and connected to the main character.
Who hasn't felt alone?
And that right there is a big thing I've seen mentioned in the past few pages.
"Superman didn't do things alone".
Of course he didn't. Why wouldn't he seek help? He's not trained in combat, he's not a military genius. And the people of the planet he lives on have the right to fight alongside him if they choose. Who is he to tell them not to?
Besides, it showed something beautiful, which was that Superman is NOT alone. That despite his differences, his strength, the fact that he is the last of his kind...that after all that, he is NOT totally alone.
My absolute favorite moment in the film is right after Clark kills Zod. He cries out his anger, his regret, his grief. He looks well and truly alone, but then Lois shows up, and she holds him as he breaks. He's not alone, he doesn't have to be alone.
I don't see a problem with that.
