I don't care if Brando didn't memorize his lines or rejected the role. He made HIS Jor El. The vocie, the presence, the feelings through the eyes....is a proof that Marlon Brando is THE ACTOR
It's the end product that matters, not the process.
All I see in Brando’s eyes is him squinting reading the text.
@@kamdan2011 he actually read the cues written on the infant Superman’s diaper lol.
He also got paid $3.7m+11% box office for less than 10 minutes of screentime which is insane, but you can’t deny having his name on the project helped the movie get made and taken seriously as something for both kids and adults to enjoy!
Brando used cue cards in the Godfather as well. It was just the way he was by that point, not necessarily a sign of him phoning it in on Superman like some would have you believe.
@@kamdan2011 I never really noticed the squinting-I’ve always just enjoyed the beautiful words. Upon closer inspection, it’s super-obvious around 0:24.
The casting of superman's two dads in this movie was perfect: Marlon Brando and Glenn Ford
Actually the whole casting was impressive. Christopher Reeve played the lead with such penache and sensitivity while Margot Kidder was perfect as the feisty, streetwise journalist. Gene Hackman's Lex Luthor has never been surpassed
Russel Crowe too
Don't forget Russel Crowe he's a great actor to
99999
Kevin Costner and Russell Crowe were really good too in Man of Steel
John William's music is really outstanding in this scene. It defines the emotions and epic-ness of the moment perfectly.
Abso f&@£ing lutely
"Half your millions should go to John Williams. Now brace yourself as I reveal my brilliance! "
i have this soundtrack on vinyl i also have ET on vinyl and Raiders of the ark on vinyl i have John williams greatest hits 1969 to 1999 that on cd an amazing composer i love his music
"You will travel far, my little Kal-El, but we will never leave you. Even in the face of our deaths....the richness of our lives shall be yours. All that I have, all that I've learned, everything I feel....all this and more, I....I bequeath you, my son. You will carry me inside you all the days of your life. You will make my strength your own, and see my life through your eyes, as your life will be seen through mine. The son becomes the father, and the father the son. This is all I....all I can send you....Kal-El."
This part is pretty emotional.
" YOU WILL CARRY ME INSIDE YOU...." NO THATS NOT CREEPY ,,,,=^oo^=,,,,
anotherkat4u lol no
Words of the creator, great subtext
No mention of the wife! lol
LoOL Christopher Reeves said he was half assing his time on set and this monologue is better then most actors career
The best work is just to not over sell it .. he was relaxed and just natural
He was awesome ! And incredible!
Christopher Reeves only jealous with Brando because the producer paid Brando more than him that's why he really bitter.
Brando could do that he was just “that guy”
No, it actually very clear that he does not even try. Unlike, for example, Sir Alec Guinness.
His words are haunting yet comforting. The first act of this move has almost a biblical tone. Doesn’t treat SM as a cartoon, but a mythical being sent from far away to protect the planet. Brando’s mere presence in this film gave it respectability as well as box office appeal. No other actor could have captured the essence of Superman’s father. Many variations, reboots and interpretations have been created, but I will always come back to this movie.
Russel crow was badass
Absolutely 👍🏻
Completely agree with you…however Russell Crowe would like a word 😉
Marlon definitely had that gift
Lara: "But why earth, Jor-El? They're primitives, thousands of years behind us"
Jor-El: "I'm going to make them an offer they can't refuse"
I'm a young and my mother is a huge superman fan. This was one of the first movies I've ever laid eyes on. This scene still gets me. The levels of SCI-FI in this movie are awesome and the special effects are GRRRREAT
....ok boomer
😆
You shall be the guiding light of your GenZ generation, little Kal-El
This was my first Superhero movie too (Get Millenials born in 1991) This is my Superman no matter what.
@@JavierPerez-cx4jw ok douchebagger
The fact that Brando is reading the lines in real time makes it super impressive that he made it sound improvised.
No way he was reading them real time lol I had no idea :O
That’s the reason he did that. His character doesn’t know what he’s going to say, why should he?
The baby is just adorable
Although this movie came out over 40 years ago it's still one of the greatest superhero movies.
No matter how old this movie is, doesn't changed the fact that it's one of the GOAT of Comic Book movies
Same^^
No it's not
Chris Reeve will still be the GOAT Superman.
This is a super man classic
Lara : But why Earth, Jor-El? They're primitives, thousands of years behind us.
Jor-El : He will need that advantage to survive. Their atmosphere will... sustain him.
Lara : He will defy their gravity.
Jor-El : He will look like one of them.
Lara : He won't *be* one of them.
Jor-El : No. His dense molecular structure will make him strong.
Lara : He'll be odd. Different.
Jor-El : He'll be fast. Virtually invulnerable.
Lara : Isolated. Alone.
Jor-El : He will not be alone.
[He holds up a clear crystal and takes a long look at it]
Jor-El : He will never be alone.
Reply if you still get chills from that line!! night and enjoy!
@@Ryan Johnson Agreed ! for those of us of a certain generation this was the first epic comic adaptation and CHRISTOPHER REEVE brought SUPERMAN to life so vividly ! enjoy brother!
Crear line of superman
Brandon Routh resurrects the character.
Cinematic gold
RIP Richard Donner, the director of this masterpiece that made every kid believe that a man could fly.
So may Marlon Brando and Lee Quigley. Lee, the one playing the infant Superman in this clip, died from inhaling solvents at the age of 14!
He also directed The Omen
@@KBAFourthtimethat's horrible. :< RIP
Truly. Have a great day. This is magical.
This scene was really heartwrenching a Father's last words to his son just before his death and the death of the child's mother and the destruction of his world.
The fact that he read his lines off of the diaper is surprisingly entertaining lol
🤣
Brief but memorable appearance from Marlon Brando. Jor-El's farewell speech is so emotional, yet serene and dignified.
Man who doesn't spend time with his family could never be a real man - Vito Corleone
Depends on how toxic your family is..
Family a good thing
Nathan Dunlap family is more important than jobs.
Godfathers is great movie ever made
jajajjajaj👍🏿
Now that’s a farewell speech that no one will ever forget.
Better than Superman: The Animated Series?
Except for the baby
Except Marlon Brando (RIP)
I just wish _the mom_ got in a line or two.
Agreed @@rogue7723
Damm Marlon Brando was such a good actor!!! A good friend of mine that passed away a number of years ago said that Hollywood paid Marlon a million dollars just to get him out of his house to go and play the part in this scene and supposedly the rest where it was just dialouge they agreed for Brando to just phone it in. What a legend!!! And no one could play superman like Christopher Reeves!!! RIP Gentlemen!!!
Marlon Brando and Susanna York look stunning! Superman like Star War ushered in a new era of movie making. The excitement after seeing them for the first time gave you the gift of always remembering when and where you saw it.
Only Marlon Brando could play Superman's father it's just feels correct.
Agreed. However Russell Crowe in "Man of Steel" also IMO did an excellent job too.
@@americangiant1003 pretty much filled the shoe for the character
His mum ,°°°!
@@americangiant1003 If only MoS had as much talent behind the camera as it did in front of it.
Correct, but expensive. 🤑
No version of baby Kal-El being placed in the escape ship will ever beat this version because of Jor-El last words to Kal-El before being sent to Earth. This scene is what modern comic book movies are missing, this is why even the great Marvel artist Stan Lee called this movie Superb, it shows heart in the characters, it writing and dialogue is just incredible. Most of Marvels films are just getting tiring because it’s almost just action and comedy, barely any human dialogue. Take the new Spiderman films, there just constant action, and comedy. Comic book movies today are just not as deep and philosophical as Superman 1978.
Well said 👏
Stan Lee might have praised this flick, but the dude was not the greatest Marvel artist. That title goes to Jack the King Kirby
@@AceLM92 yea
@@AceLM92 Stan Lee was a salesman standing on the shoulders of giants like Kirby and Ditko.
Superman TAS came close.
R.I.P. Marlon Brando, who plays Jor-El the father of Kal-El!

2019 and I never realized that🤤
@@@Jesus-zy2ce It's also a sad coincidence that both BRANDO and CHRISTOPHER REEVE passed away in the same year 2004 RIP to two great actors from my childhood!
and the father of Michael Corleone!
And of course in The Godfather movie.
People born in the late 70's or 80's grew up in a great time when movies where AWSOME =)
FACTS
no diffrent then today.
We did, this and Star Wars made my childhood.
Ikr I was born in 1994 😢 but atleast we can still watch these movies. and for the record people born in the 30s and 40s had great films too!
@@steamboatwill3.367 the difference is, most of the movies today are soulless blockbusters with focus of the CGI, not on good actors or good music or a good and new story. The most of movies in cinema are just copies without own soul. I say always, the old movies are like a coca cola. The new ones are diet cola ;)
The best part about this whole scene is Brando reading cue cards
Yeah well, when you're as worthy as an Actor as Brando was you don't have to memorize your lines.
Cue cards written on Superman’s diaper
I was about to say... of course he did lol
The best part about this whole scene is Bran⁸
It was part of his technique and you can hear it in the intonations of his voice. His character sounds like he's struggling to "search" for the right words to say, because the actor is seeing lines he hasn't memorized.
RIP Marlon Brando (April 3, 1924 - July 1, 2004), aged 80
And
RIP Susannah York (January 9, 1939 - January 15, 2011), aged 72
You both will always be remembered as legends.
and also Lee Quigley who played the infant Superman, also died in 1991 at a very young age of 14 due to heart attack, watta he died of a very young teenage boy 😢😢😢
@@theKDLChrnclspoor guy

This scene is so perfect, timeless!. There is no need for computer visual effects.

Name a better actor in a comic book film! I'll wait...
@@uscman I believe you are referring to Heath Ledger

When I saw Krypton’s destruction for the first time....well, let’s just say I could hardly bare it.
Jake Rutigliano me too.
Truly the most disturbing depiction
Itactally here lol ice
Has disturbed me since first time I saw it age 5 back In 1978.
How the Hell has this got 127 dislikes?! This is a wonderful scene, it almost makes me cry the way Marlon talks to his child and what he says.
marvel comedy universe fanboys
Those are all family members of the people Vito Corleone....err.....Marlon Brando had killed in the Godfather.
@@alvaronostades2773 nope. Marvel fans love this movie. No need to create unnecessary hate for marvel. I've been noticing this now for a while. Every Dc Instagram post and RUclips videos have hate comments against marvel. However, in every marvel videos or post, marvel fans don't even talk abt Dc, they only keep discussing about the post or Video.

"all the days of your life" - a lovely reference to Psalm 23
superbaby thinking" can you stop with the dramatic speech and send me into space and save me "
I was a little kid when I saw this on the big screen and Marlon blew me away. The beauty of his face, the masculinity and effortless acting ability. I'll never forget it.
2019 February holds up still
Jor-El watching as his son's ship leaves their dead world: "I coulda been a contender!"
Looks at the planet falling apart: "The horror... The horror!"
Now this children is real practical effects. No cgi or anything, just real hard labour.
“You will give the people of earth an ideal to strive for they will stumble they will fall but in time you will help them accomplish wonders...”
Best superman film in my opinion
Darth Vader: She must have hidden the plans in the escape pod!
Kevin Pradhan 3:12 me: you’re talking the wrong person. 3:14 also, it would have been awesome to see the Death Star destroys the planet krypton in this movie, after a new hope.
Kevin Pradhan Wrong movie.
For a 1978 comicbook film this is damn impressive
Even as a kid this scene made me cry
i like how in this movie the ship looks like its actually from another planet lol
I can’t believe nobody’s talking about how cute the baby is
juicy little nugget, so cute.
He dead
The baby died
@@mr.clapemcheeks2016 He’s still alive, google him
I can't believe nobody's talking about how his mother just stands there like a mute robot, while her husband basically claims full ownership of his son
3:13 "But this roof is made of glass. It'll shatter
into a thousand pieces. We'll be cut to ribbons!"
That is the cutest baby I’ve seen in a movie
Crashing through the ceiling and the music is one of the greatest cinematic scenes in history of film.
I love how poignant Brando's performance is even when you realised his eyeline don't really match up to the baby that he's supposedly talking to.
One of the best destruction/escape scenes I’ve watched when I was a child, awesome!
don't forget us kakarot.
I meant Kal-El
Bardock is that you
@Luc Germain The spaceship here even looks like Kami's ship.

Ya _boyjay me too.
Marlon Brando himself came up with the idea of having the S shield be a Kryptonian glyph representing the House of El.
El in hebrew is god Elohim...its no accident.....el is also electric...all is el ectric universe and that is what the readers of all the religious books of the world cant see.
1977
This movie still gives me the feels.
I always found it interesting the way color was used in the Krypton scenes. The world is blue, the star is red, but Kryptonian society was colorless. The costumes, the sets, even the spaceship. However, Kal El’s clothing is red, yellow, and blue and the crystal Jor El gives him is green. In an earlier scene where Zod breaks a crystal, it’s red. I’m sure this was explained somewhere by Donner or the writers. Does anyone know the story?
i.notice the green to Crystal
No, but the show Krypton depicted the planet as being in a perpetual night-time ice age because its sun had grown to a red giant and therefore wasn't emitting the requisite stellar radiation a G-type star like ours would to give them the powers.
I'm not certain of the story behind these choices, but the symbolism is readily apparent. Kryptonian society, and the attitudes of its people, were effectively frozen in place, like ice. They were old and static, rigid in their thinking, unable to even conceive of change or the possibility that their perfect cut-jewel world could ever come to an end. They no longer had the spectrum of possibility because they were the past. Kal-El is the future. The colours of his swadling cloth and the green crystal included in his escape capsule represent the myriad of choices and possibilities that would be available to him but were otherwise forever shut off to Krypton and its people.
I noticed the same thing in the superman films, the same shades of blue and red were often used in various scenes to symbolise things. There's often a muted limited colour palette then one thing in the scene has that vibrant red or blue colour.
Please have been looking for this movie
Movies from the 70s and 80s were very impressive. Saw this movie as a kid...Star Wars, Superman, Jaws, etc...too many good ones. Did not realize Marlon Brando was in this film and in Roots too.
When you think of Jor El you think of Marlon Brando...almost 45 years later...the definition of star power
My all time favorite movie. A true classic
Brando could of played a vending machine and he'd be captivating. And same goes for John Williams who composed the music of our childhoods!
Yeah Brando play in some good older movies I like the older classic movies n things. Movie agngs I think it was called 1953 was really good to good family movie. We will be on that beautiful shore was the church tune playing in the beginning of the movie
I saw the director's comments and he said he thought Brando was highly overpaid when he asked for $3 million.he also said that after seeing Brando's scenes he thought he was underpaid.
This movie was way ahead of its time, not by the vfx but the meaning, the acting, and the casting
The goat of all actors, Marlon Brando rest well.
goat of all actors? That doesn't look like John Wayne.

Best and most emotional early part of that movie.

Bravo to all who helped produce that scene and movie.
For an old movie the special effects hold up.

Amazing camerawork! (1:38 - 1:52)
Damn! I got goosebumbs from his acting
Brando ..👍...... Hollywood Icon...🌪️🌪️🌪️💙👌
Delivered beautifully by the very beautiful, Marlon Brando.
My childhood craze My favorite super hero ..great movie. .Salute to Chris Reeve..
This scene gave me chills and then tears. Brando is the Babe Ruth of Actors!
That is a farewell speech that no one will ever forget.
Superman: If only I could see my parents again. But not even my powers can bring them back.
Batman: You’re not alone friend.
Who cares if this was made in 1978 cause I don’t
The strength of the father is him blood
Probably still the best superhero movie. Brando, reeve, kidder, hackman, beatty.. The music of John Williams.. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Did anyone else get teary-eyed in the scene like I did
I also get like this when I watch this scene. He speaks such beautiful words to his son. Heartbreaking.
Yup
1977
This is my best film ever im 47. And i watch it atleast 3-5 times every year i know every word and if i was in another room id know exactly what part of the film is on. I love it. 😊
Happy 90th to Richard Donner, director.
A TRIUMPH in production design!
thx you for that old classic movie. I like so much to see at home using boxxy software in german language to improve my foreign language.
2:39-Joe-el to counsel:” I told you!” “Krypton is going to go poof, but would any of you listen to me?” Oh, no!”
Say what you will about Brando...but by GOD could he act when he wanted to!
Man...Marlon really nailed being Jor-El ^^
Brando is phoning in his performance and I still have tears in my eyes.
That first superman movie is about revealing the true secret origin of superman
the leadership refused to believe him until it was too late .
Terry Green it really shows how dumb governments can be and usually are.
So typical! In a sense,it's when someone tells the government that the eco-system is being devastated, that certain animal species are going extinct, and so on. The Kryptonian Council did not want to believe what Jor-El was stating because they were a government of scientists, and have become so stoic in their science that they refused to believe Jor-El (even though he was one of Krypton's greatest scientists) Jor-El's "crime" ( in the counsel's eyes) was that he was the odd duck, He showed compassion & empathy,and was truly horrified & saddened that his culture & homeworld was about to meet a gruesome end.But,he did not want Krypton to be completely extinct, & sent his Son,Kal-El (along with the remnant archives of Krypton) that survived. There is so much symbolism in this movie,and that we should give credit to the late writer Mario Puzo who was way ahead of his time.
Funny how, if the Kryptonians were supposed to be thousands of years ahead of us, (since Lara, Kal-el's Mom had dubbed us humans as primitives) the powers that be of the Kryptonian Council were still unable to assess & deduce correctly abt the impending doom that their planet was facing, even as it was being repeatedly informed to them by one of their best scientists no less, aka Jor-el..they should have been able to see it coming what with all of their intelligence which was so-called FAR MORE ADVANCED than ours..perhaps their egos & pride were so inflated by their own intelligence that they felt that they were untouchable & all powerful..Oh, BTW, someone had once pointed out to me, on how come Kal-el wasn't affected by the green colored Kryptonite stone that had accompanied him in the space pod his father made for him..the answer is coz that piece of Kryptonite wasn't affected by the planet's eventual destruction, hence it was STILL in its pure state..any floating Kryptonite stones resulting from the planet's explosion were the ones that were able to zap the powers from poor Kal-el..those stones had absorbed the very force that had caused the demise of planet Krypton, thus those eventually became Superman's Achille's heels..😊!
