Superman turns back time | Superman (3 Hour TV Version)

[@Jason-dy4in]

That scream is powerful and frightening at the same time and the way he flyed around the Earth to turn back time was amazing. Your the best Superman ever. Rest in peace Mr Reeves

[@AlexGarcia-ze4yg]

What's even more ominous is the distant thunder crackling. As though the very natural forces are reacting to his grievous rage.

[@Kalah_]

@@vinylking1252 Well, there are many reasons why he should NOT interfere with time like that. His father made that clear too. Still, his grief was too great and he couldn't stop himself - he HAD to save Lois. That, to me, shows that he's not just Kryptonian, but has an element of humanity in him as well. :)

stricken with grief, Superman allows himself one 'selfish' moment. he defies Jor-El's wishes. he bends the rules of time and space because he's not a perfect, saintly paragon, he's a man with feelings and emotions. he moves heaven and earth to save the one he loves, but in doing so, becomes more human. a beautiful scene.

[@leejee88]

also people forget that this superman is still new to the super hero game so he's going to be a bit more selfish

[@crazyhercules9442]

Just to hammer your point; in the second movie, Superman gave up his powers to be with Lois. Before Zod came.

[@Averagebasementman]

Something I’m wondering is what are the actual consequences for Clark turning back time. Yeah it’s forbidden but why is it like flashpoint or something.

His acting in this scene is just amazing. It has that enormously strong man in a world made of cardboard quality to it at the beginning; the way he gently and delicately sets her down. Then his outpouring of grief and sorrow is just so very real and raw. You see him try to accept what's happened, try to take it in his stride, do what he's sworn to do and abide by the rules he's been taught and then you just see the rage and anger and unwillingness to swallow that. Then finally that scream that roar that comes out of him; it's the sound of an angry god. I just see THE Superman of the comics right here, come to life off the page itself. Nobody else will ever be as definitively Superman as Chris Reeve is for me.

The performance enacted is a combination of failure, denial rage; Superman could not prevent this tragedy; he may be faster than a speeding bullet but not faster than 2 ICBMs going in different directions. Plus, Superman faces death from a loved one, yet again, is probably what bothered him the most.

[@hardren101]

did not concieve that till reading your comment and watching the scene again...but u t 100% correct...the deeper conception of the advice given by his rel father is while you may live among the humans you must at all times remember that you are not of their world....it is auto human nature to control the outcome of events n situations and that is a trait born of the ego..once he felt compelled to control the outcome he became a servant of the ego vs a master of the ego with the will/force to usurp the ego....

[@laurentlassee7184]

I do... And I loved the movies as a kid... But in all honesty it is a stupid scene. Reversing the rotation of the earth not only wouldn't revert time, but probably kill billions of lives in the process.

[@PistolPete1980]

lol he didnt reverse the rotation of the earth. The theory goes if something goes faster than the speed of light time will reverse for that object. Superman flew faster than light so he was time traveling to the past, the earth only appeared to reverse rotation to his point of view and ours. A way to look at it is if your watcing a video of the earth rotating, and than you rewind that movie while watching it, it would appear the earth was rotating in reverse.

[@laurentlassee7184]

Peter Petruzzi then why did he reverse his fly path? Watch again.

I absolutely love how after Superman lands back next to Lois at 3:30, having reversed time itself, you at first can't see his face through the dirty window. But you can still tell he's on the verge of tears, particularly in the brief reflection you see of him in the outside shot at 3:36. After Lois lowers the window, you can see him putting back on his Superman face, though there is still the hint of joyous relief on his face. But he can't let anyone know what he did. Excellent directing, cinematography, and acting.

But then why did he also seem to put the rotation back to normal?

At that point, Hoover Dam didn't collapse, and Lois Lane was still alive trying to start her car. Of course, everything else in the solar system, galaxy and the entire universe, still advanced in time, so things will still be off with atomic clocks, satellites, the moon, etc. The movie didn't explain all this, but maybe Superman did some last minute tidying up later on. :/

Causing the earth to stop spinning on its axis would cause everything to be thrown at 1,000mph. It would pretty much instantly kill almost everything.

[@panthios]

People think he made the earth stop rotating and reversed it. That is not at all what happens in this scene. What he is doing is flying around the earth much faster than the speed of light, and by doing so he is traveling back in time (from the safety of the vacuum of space.) What the audience is shown is everything slowing down and reversing as he is flying faster and faster. I guess it is confusing to witness but the flash did it in the Zack Snyder cut of JL in almost the exact same way (faster than light speed)

[@dfghdfhdfhdfhdhf2842]

Man, this is cinema, from the moment you accept to see a film by a guy who came from another planet and that he has super powers on earth and accept that, why won't you accept that he makes the planet go back in time? Why are you going to say that this is "impossible" there everything is possible.

[@anthemgunaether2914]

I’m 50 yrs old… lying here on my living room floor in Southern California. For some reason this scene was “recommended” to me just moments ago (thank you KZbin)… and I’m recalling this scene as I saw it in the theater as a kid. I don’t think there was or will ever be anything more powerful and haunting as Superman screaming in remorse and helplessness and then his internal challenges pushed aside as his POWER takes over to refuse the loss of Lois and his determination to bring her back. The sound of that horrific scream is something I’m surprised they allowed to subject children to back in the day… but perhaps what our generation needed and was blessed with back then. In fifty years on this planet, nothing has affected me more profoundly than this cinematic moment. It is pure, relentless, unapologetic, and unstoppable power.

[@jedijones]

This is the scene that secures Superman: The Movie its place as one of the great films in history. The acting, the music, the cinematography, the effects, the drama and the incredible sweep of emotion in such a short amount of screen time makes this sequence gripping and unforgettable.

[@christiansoldier77]

Jedijones Actually this is a bad scene because it makes superman overpowered . Why doesnt he just turn back time all the time ??? Then no one will ever have to die or nothing bad will ever have to happen. This is a flaw in the movie and another flaw is why is he so upset about the death of a woman he barely knows???

[@Fireglo]

@P Smith not necessarily

[@marloh2906]

We have already “time traveled“ to the future thanks to time dilation(special relativity). We actually time travel a lot. It’s why we have to rewind the clocks on our satellites periodically, because they go through space faster, they also go through time faster. Superman is written to be able to fly faster than than the speed of light, and according to special relativity if you move faster than the speed of light, space time around you would move backwards. So this scene is actually kinda scientifically accurate. Of course we will never be able to go faster than the speed of light making backwards time travel impossible. I know I’m a nerd.

[@toxsin2207]

As to the question of "Why doesn't he just turn back the world on everything" that I've seen - my take on it is that like normal people can't lift a car except under extreme duress, Superman can't normally turn back time. And I don't think he can ever do it again (Donner's S2 cut notwithstanding, which is one of many reasons why I didn't like it). He made a choice when he defied Jor-El, and bound himself to our world. He didn't do it out of arrogance of his power - he did that out of pure, heartbreaking grief. CR's Superman will always be the best, and most human, to me!
