Superman: Kindness as Radical Power

from The Film Talk Hosted by Jett Loe and Gareth Higgins

Jett and Gareth disagree sharply about one performance in Superman. On the larger point they are united: this is a movie willing to treat empathy and kindness not as weakness, sentimentality, or branding, but as genuine forms of power in a world very good at rewarding cruelty. Sometimes decency really does need a cape.
