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.
"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."
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
@@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.
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.
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.

@@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!
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.

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.
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?
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.
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 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. 😊
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.
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..😊!

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 👍🏻

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.
The father becomes the son and the son the father......✨🚀
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
My childhood craze My favorite super hero ..great movie. .Salute to Chris Reeve..

*I’m gonna make Zod an offer he can’t refuse.*
Happy 90th to Richard Donner, director.
Baby Lee Quigley was just a sweetheart and a little angel when he played baby Kal-El. Rest in Peace and God bless you, Sweety Lee. Amen.😍🤩😘❤
Who is he though? It has nothing to do with this movie.
1977
@KennethV2000 I know I'm late to the party but he was the Baby put in the ship. Died doing some drugs as a kid from what I read.
Marlon Brando will always be Jor-El in our hearts.
Yeah I agree
1977
A TRIUMPH in production design!
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!”
So moving. My heart is trembling.
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..😊!
Terry Green
Just like the climate change denialists today.
@@kevinscott59 No, I think you mean race denialists. You cannot import the 3rd world and still maintain the technology and development that constitutes the 1st. This is an uncomfortable fact but a true one.
This is such an emotional scene 🥺
Who cares if this was made in 1978 cause I don’t
Best clip ever
Brando is phoning in his performance and I still have tears in my eyes.
Thanks for the video.
