[@itwasfunnyatthetime]

wdym? Romance scenes between the two main characters is in plenty of films. Spiderman, Amazing Spiderman (and far from home to a small extent) had scenes of Peter and his love interest merely talking in a slower more casual pace. Synder Cut of Justice League (it wasn't a romance scene) but Lois talking to Martha, visiting the cop and meeting with Clark were all slower scenes to do with character. There are quite a bit of films that strive for action and bare minimum camera but they do still exist.

[@Jadefox32]

This is without question one of the greatest romantic interactions in any film ever simply due to the skill and chemistry between the two main performers. Most other actors would struggle to act out this scene in a way an audience would believe, but both Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder are so sincere in their inflections and in their awkward pauses that you totally want to see them end up together. From the beginning of this clip, to the classic flying scene, to the moment Clark takes off his glasses and hesitates to tell Lois the truth is one of my favorite scenes in any film ever.

One of the reasons Reeve sold his performance so well was his ease of movement; he goes from flying to standing and jumps down from that wall so naturally. He looks so comfortable with himself, as you would expect of a hero with the best physical prowess in the world; even the little cape-flick as he sits down is incredibly convincing.

It sort of helps to know Lois was being rude to Clark when he arrived to the Planet, but when Clark asked the chief to send money to his mother and Lois noticed he was being sincere, she started to behave better with him and even asked if Clark knew more people like himself. Since automatically Superman has this trait of caring for his mother, obviously Lois would fall for a caring, nice, respectfull and strong will man. Is a shame Superman has to behave like Clark Kent in front of her.
