“i want little boys or young men to go see this film and be like, ‘i want to be as strong as her. my sister is as cool as her.’ i want them to be able to see parts of themselves within the character, but also to see the strength within the women around them.”
oh milly ❤️🩹
I saw “Supergirl” in IMAX. It wasn’t a “superhero movie” about saving the Earth through self-sacrifice as “justice” confronts “evil.” It was a coming-of-age story about saving oneself, Kara, as she struggles with her own trauma. Structurally, it feels less like “Mad Max: Fury Road” (2015), where everyone is driven purely by survival instinct beyond notions of good and evil, and more like The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966), where heroes, villains, and scoundrels all converge.
The marketing for this new Superman movie has been so confusing. They keep showing this Clark Kent journalist guy. Like we are here for Superman, not some rando from the Daily Planet
