SUPER/MAN - The Christopher Reeve story | TRAILER REACTION

[Music] [Music] hey everyone DC Chronicle here today we are going to be reacting to Superman the Christopher reev Story now this is something that I did really want to cover on the channel and it's something that means a lot to me we're going to react to it but really quickly I did just want to talk a little bit about what Christopher reev meant to me and my personal connection to his character and his portrayal of Superman now I'm too young for his films to see them in the cinema but growing up in the '90s my dad he had all the Superman movies on video on VHS if you remember those back in the day and one of my earliest memories is making my dad watch those movies with me watching them with my dad watching them over and over again as a young child the tagline for the first Superman movie was you'll believe a man can fly and for me at that young age I really thought that this guy was Superman I was always just so in awe of him and in awe of his performances in those movies obviously as I've grown older I've come to appreciate what they are as as performances and this really was my first exposure to DC altogether now around the same time Batman Forever came out in the cinemas and that was the first movie that I ever saw in the theater in the cinemas was was Batman Forever and I loved that as well and then going on from there I discovered comics and I learned that Batman and Superman are in the same universe and they would interact with each other and they would fight crime together and for me that was just like like a DC Super Fan was born in in that year in that moment so for me it all started um with Christ AR he was such a a formative part of my younger years and watching those movies over and over really is a core childhood memory for me um and I do remember getting a little bit older when he had his accident and for me it was still great to see him kind of out and about and he was in a couple of episodes of Smallville which I really enjoyed watching him in and for me again as a testament to the man and the Testament to the character it showed that he didn't give up even when he had this life-changing accident and this life-changing injury he still wanted to be out there and he still never gave up and it still didn't change who he was as a man I guess is what I'm trying to say um so I'm interested to see the footage that they've got here a lot of family behind the scenes footage obviously it's from a time when F cameras weren't everywhere phone was have cameras so see exactly what they've got um but let's check out the trailer oh there he is everybody's looking for a hero I am not a hero oh there the interviews from that time he has so many great quotes from that time like oh who is Superman like he's a friend hands down he was Superman from day one I realized that if I could pull off this part it would change my life oh yeah John hman said Mr reev is very important you become a serious classical actor yeah he was classically Tred they offer you a load of money to do something else DC Studios I heard that James gun really fought when he saw this at Sundance he really f it was all about get the rights to this documentary so see G in Superman pry little Cameo my dad was very competitive look that like you get the sense he did just like he said goodbye this had a real like thirst for for life and a thirst for like activities that was the last time I saw him on his [Music] feet Mr re currently has no movement for spontaneous resp see I remember this I was only young I remember it just that simple little thing over the horse i' ruin such a freak accident and everybody else is I won't be able to ski sail throw a ball to will won't be able to make love to Dana well I can't imagine like yeah psychologically flying in and she just yelled I love you what it must do to a person love and then she said the words save my life you're still you absolutely like love you that's what I was saying before like you see him make these appearances and Robin were such good friends because they could again like this the mental toughness that he deal with his whole and oh yeah Robin Williams so there's a story that Robin Williams like dressed up as a nurse and was making jokes about bed pant and stuff when you find people who fight like that but still keep their Humanity that gives you great oh yeah I mean that's that's going to be the theme of this isn't it and it's I can feel him but he can't feel incredible it must have been hell for my mom too knowing but she had lost oh it's will will re is in Superman not um needed to do something there's a lot of footage there's a lot of like behind the scenes footage the fact that Superman was in a wheelchair and was willing to go public with it was huge H is on the [Applause] way yeah that's um he he was really an incredible man wasn't he Dana re paralysis and yeah he got honored by Obama and stuff like that and he just think wow walking because of him what is a hero [Music] my answer was that a hero is someone this before this is a great quote without considering the consequences it's about people facing challenges my definition is completely different I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles I wouldn't have missed this for the world yeah I'm really looking forward to seeing that um I know it's coming out in cinemas but I don't know if it's going to be out in the UK or not um probably not we don't really get stuff like that but but yeah whatever I have to do to see it that I will I'm sure it'll be out on on some sort of streaming or you can rent or buy it at some point and I definitely will as soon as I can but yeah just um just what an incredible man what an what an incredible uh life really even though it was cut short so tragically and um he had that terrible accident you can see that again the overing theme of he never changed who he was and that's what I kind of got from seeing him make those appearances after his accident and you see it there I was surprised at how much kind of Home Video home footage there was again you psychologically don't know how much you'd want to be on video after something like that especially home videos and things but yeah um I'm a little bit lost for words to be honest but it's um it's going to be emotional it's going to be um an important watch I think but um yeah looking forward to it coming out um if you're aail if you're somewhere where they are showing it in the theater I think it's September the 21st and 25th they're showing it so if you do have the opportunity I'd say you know please go and watch this in theaters I think it'll be um I think it'll be an important watch but I hope you all like this um yeah if you like this kind of stuff give me a like And subscribe really helps out the channel and I'll catch you all in the next one
