The Sun Rises



SUPERMAN IS BACK!!! And what looks like better then ever. So yes, I saw "The Dark Knight Rises: teaser, both of them. I also saw the Comic Con footage, due to this wonderful thing that is the internet. And HOLY GOAT BALLS BATMAN, this looks excellent. If you are an average film goer than you probably had no idea that this was Superman, which some say is a bad thing, but that's kinda the point of a reboot. The way that this teaser is perfect. It starts with a very blue color temperature, as a metaphor for a dark world in pain. But when the one of the Robin Hoods voice comes in, the color slowly changes to a warm tone, with shots of the sun shining through the fog, and images of childlike innocents. It's a metaphor for Superman, as he comes into this world bringing hope, and a light for people to follow, a christlike character. Especially in the comic con footage when Superman walked on the clouds like Jesus on the water, chills went down my spine. The cinematography is very interesting too. A very Terrence Malick, Tree of Life look to it, which I personally love. I do fell that they should have just shown the Comic Con trailer, which still serves as a teaser, but also gives audiences both more of the emotional moments, and spickets of SUPERMAN HITTING THINGS!! You would think that we wouldn't have to be so excited to see that, but yeah. And the voice over of the Robin Hoods is also well done. Depicting a choice versus destiny type thing. Personally I prefer Russell Crowe's voice over, just because Russell Crowe is one of top three favorite actors, so I'm biased. So yeah, I'm massively excited to see Superman done justice again, hopefully that leads to over justice related things...
