Forget all the other Superman actors. Christopher Reeve WAS Superman. He was the one who really humanized the character. In this age of gritty, dark reboots, it's been forgotten that the reason Superman is a compelling character is because he's a genuinely good man. Perhaps the reason Reeve could portray that so naturally is because he was also a good person, a Superman in real life. His first two Superman movies set the template that superhero movies still follow to this day.
Yeah, I noticed that as well. Though not before I noticed that he always paused every few seconds, regardless if he was in the middle of a sentence. And that the number of seconds between each pause were more or less the same.
I’m reading Christopher’s 1998 autobiography “Still Me”, and I’m up to the part where he describes going to these Oscars. His appearance was kept pretty secretive, and he was nervous about what could’ve happened, like hitting a bump and having a full body spasm. The fact he still went up on stage is so brave
@WILD BILL foda-se a sua opinião seu merdinha. no meu país nós usamos frases assim para honrar grandes pessoas, assim como dizemos aqui "Ayrton Senna não morreu, ele apenas esta uma volta a frente"
i once participated in a live chat with him, i told him that he should run for president, he thanked me for the flattering remarks and that he may look at that, i think. He is now resting in peace.
Christopher and his family visited my school whilst filming The Remains of the Day. I got to shake his hand and his fingers reached my forearm I was so small. He said ‘thank you’ to me for no reason. My hero who made me believe I can fly, it’s my turn to say ‘thank you’ ❤️❤️
And with the simple raising of a curtain revealing that extraordinary man on stage, all of Hollywood was on it's feet. Perhaps the most heartwarming, heartbreaking, legendary moments in award show history.
Yeah, Hollywood cheering that Superman rose up to be a quadriplegic. They put him on stage for themselves, not for him. They needed an excuse to feel good about something. Little do they know...there's nothing good about Superman being cast into a wheelchair. He survived, which is phenomenal. But they have no right to emotionally capitalize on his survival.
At a event in St. Louis many, many years ago. I took my son Sean to meet Chris. My son has downs syndrome. When we got to him, I introduced him and said "Sean this is superman." He smiled and said. "No I'm just a actor that got to play superman." I remember tears in my eyes as I looked at him and said, "you've always been superman, more now than in the movies." I still get emotional thinking of it.
Was and always will be one of the best ACTORS in the world. Was and always be for me and for many others THE ONLY SUPERMAN! REST IN PEACE CHRISTOPHER REEVE..THE HERO OF MY CHILDHOOD.
Isn't it crazy that the actor that played the man of steel himself ended up truly being THE superman in reality during his most vulnerable moments? R.I.P Christopher Reeve
RFgamer the cgi was so good it looked like he was wearing it tbh BUT Christopher Reeve literally looks and acts like Superman he IS the most accurate comic book version of Superman arguably better than the comics.
Wesley Snipes the one and only Blade Michael Keaton the one and only Batman Brandon Lee The one and only The Crow and Bruce Lee the one and only fist of fury 😏👍👍👍👍🐇
Well considering they were classmates, but more importantly, best friends at Juilliard (and then on) where they started their careers, I would say Robin came to love Christopher. They both were fine gentlemen.
a couple notable crowd expressions to appreciate in context: 0:28 - Nic Cage - a *massive* lifelong Superman fan who literally named his son Kal-El and was already in talks to play the role in the upcoming Tim Burton version 0:44 - John Travolta - one of the original frontrunners for Superman '78 before Reeve was cast 0:47 - Marsha Garces Williams(left side of the screen) - Robin Williams' wife and a close friend of Reeve; Reeve credited Robin with giving him the will to live again by visiting after his accident.
0:47 I think the camera was really focused on Winona Ryder (a hot young star at the time) and Marcia Garces Williams just happened to be standing next to her.
I noticed that too. I'd have reacted the same way! A salute to the Superman (1978) director Richard Donner. Donner not only had the perfect pick for the portrayal of Superman, but he also had the perfect musical conductor. A perfect time to be alive as a musical conductor! At least, for the modern time. Can't diss the late Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, and Tchaikovski! 😅
Chris es el verdadero alma de superman, él vive en el alma del verdadero superman. Ojalá Tom Welling o Henry se den cuenta que tienen ese alma en su interior y si no son ellos, el que la tenga podrá volar..
Regardless of his accident and the horrific injuries he suffered he still soldiered on. An absolute trojan and a legend. My first hero as a child. Absolutely loved him and was gutted when this happened to him. What an amazing guy.
I saw this the night it aired on the Oscars....what a moment, will never forget it....I felt the same way everyone in the audience did....Chris was so courageous, he worked tirelessly with his foundation to help others in his situation....finally his poor tired body needed rest....Rest In Peace Christopher, you were so very special 💘 ✨✨✨
Sigh.... me too. He made me believe there is really a man called Superman when I was really small, and now that I am all grown up, I REALLY REALLY admire his courage and his strength. He is "up up and away!" and "faster than the speeding bullet!" now in Heaven.
Soojee Pyo I understand how you feel exactly, im totally inspired by him. What a great human being he is. Yes indeed flying in Heaven. My love for him is no coincidence i recieved a spriitual Superman experience in dreamtime. So your a long time fan i assume =)
Sno0py87 Yeah, like I said, when I was really small, I thought Superman actually existed, and then, as I grew older, I began having crush on him "wow, is he handsome or what!" ( ahem... don't blame me! ) :D And then after that terrible accident, it was so painful to see him on that wheel chair. And then he died... Sigh.... I live just few minutes away from that Walk of Fame, so I walk over his star almost every day. And this is just my opinion, so don't kill me, guys. I think they should stop making Superman movies. That role BELONGS to Chris. I did go to see Superman Returns, and I thought Brandon did OK, but he looked way too young to be Superman. Yeah, I grew up with Superman. FASTER THAN THE SPEEDING BULLET!!!!!!
Lol yes he is handsome , i too im liking this part of him very charming indeed. It was sad he became disabled but he turned into a becon of hope and inspiration to others the more he became powerful. Thats cool your so close to his walk of fame =) That role does belong to Christoper for sure he rocked it, i think man of steel sucks so much lol Brandon looks so much like him tho. Im obsessed with Superman IV the quest for peace right now, he is sooo cute.
It is so overwhelming to see such outstanding actors as Nicolas Cage, Jim Carrey, Tom Hanks, John Travolta, Meryl Strep, Brad Pitt... To give this kind of respect and admiration for the man who was truly a superhero and fighted until the end with all his power and showed the world that superheroes truly existed. Christopher Reeve brought happiness, admiration , respect, kindness and courage to everyone. Seeing Gwyneth Paltrow this emotional it's such an explainment of everything the amazing Chris Reeve achieved, and he will always stay in our hearts and in humanity. Rest In Peace and Long Live to the most unique, talented and strong man the world has ever seen. The one and only, Christopher Reeve, truly a Superman.💕😭💟👼🏻👏🏻
This was kept a secret the entire event, all the way up to the last hour. Reeve barely made the trip due to having to fly over and coping with the stress of the flight, lodging and preparation. But he insisted on going through and the producers treated it like the President of the United States was making a spontaneous visit. Nobody with the exception of three or four people knew Reeve was going to be there, and none of them said a word. Nobody in the audience knew he would be presenting.
Kudos to Christoher Reeve will always be Superman in his film role and in real life. The level of support from his peers is eye watering. RIP Superman aka Christopher Reeve.
Dana Reece was a professional singer who sang in a lot of smoky nightclubs( as they all were in those days)! She died of “ secondhand smoke” from performing and associating with all those performers, most of whom smoked! Even Jackie Kennedy was a heavy smoker, although she never let anyone photograph her smoking; reporters say her fingertips were stained from cigarettes! Smoking will kill you, as it did both of my parents - some very lucky smokers avoid COPD or lung cancer but many die of heart related disease at an earlier age. I was raised in a smoking household and have never smoked, but my lungs were damaged in childhood by my parents’ lack of information about the dangers of smoking!
Christopher deserved that standing ovation before all A-listers. He was going through massive health issues. He was paralysed. He was an awesome actor and a perfect superman. RIP ❤❤
True true, the likes of Hugh Jackman are very highly regarded! I suppose I just look at modern Grammy Award shows and a lot are dressed and sat with a miserable face to prove a point about their ego.
He’s a big comic book fan in the first place. That’s why he went to play ghost rider twice (even though he might not suit the part). Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think he changed his last name to Cage cos of Luke Cage.
0:15 Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Jason Leigh. 0:17 Robin Williams, Quentin Tarantino 0:27 Gloria Estefan 0:30 Nicholas Cage, Patricia Arquette 0:32 Gwyneth Paltrow, Brad Pitt 0:37 Kurt Russell, Goldie Hawn, Michael Douglas 0:42 Jim Carrey 0:45 John Travolta 0:48 Winona Ryder 1:04 Tom Hanks, Jim Carrey, Maura Tierney 1:45 Meryl Streep, John Travolta, Tom Hanks, Maura Tierney
Seeing Robin Williams tear up at 0:17 has to be the most heart-wrenching thing ever...shows how truly close they were! Both such incredible men...reunited...R.I.P Reeve and Williams 😢
Such a moment. I was 8 years old when I first saw this and I cried seeing Superman like this. It was just so cruel. As an adult I have a new appreciation for it, because Reeve proved everyday after that that he really was Superman.
That was the most emotional heart wrenching Academy Award moment in the history of the Oscars When that curtain was raised and Christopher Reeve was introduced was a moment that everyone in that theatre and at home would never ever forget It still touches my heart and soul to this day Christopher Reeve would pass away 8 years later on October 10 2004
Je pense très souvent à lui. Il restera dans mon cœur SUPERMAN à tout jamais et des heures heureuses de mon enfance. J'espère qu'il est bien là où il est avec son épouse 🙏
Christopher Reeve had shown courage when he came to the 68th Annual Academy Awards in 1996 months after he had an accident that damaged his spinal chord. The ovation he got that night was super.
Wow, seeing them clapping for almost a whole minute made me tear up... they all seem like they look up to him. Especially Nic Cage at around 0:29. Truly a beautiful moment.
It's not that Christopher Reeve was Superman ...Superman was Christopher Reeve.
Vin Vass my respect to this man, the trully superman ever...

Superman was the first superheroe in comics and this man was the first superhero in movies.
Superman means so much in the history.

0:47 - Marsha Garces Williams(left side of the screen) - Robin Williams' wife and a close friend of Reeve; Reeve credited Robin with giving him the will to live again by visiting after his accident.
Nic Cage did get his Superman moment in the new Flash movie.

0:47 I think the camera was really focused on Winona Ryder (a hot young star at the time) and Marcia Garces Williams just happened to be standing next to her.
Don't forget Kevin Spacey, who would play Lex Luthor.

The thank you where he started breaking up gets me. What a great man
Do the christopher reeves
Eminem sent me here 😂
Yea he's been doin that since like 2012 I think when he was doin freestyles on Tim Westwood , cool to see the actual guy he was always referencing
his wife (shown at 35 seconds) died of lung cancer soon after he died. she never smoked or anything.
Are you trying to say the US killed her and if so why?
Maybe she smoked plenty in secret after his death to forget the pain
@@donrobbie6216 wtf no. Maybe she died because the pain of losing the love of her life.
Vincent Valentine HD bit cringe
Dana Reece was a professional singer who sang in a lot of smoky nightclubs( as they all were in those days)! She died of “ secondhand smoke” from performing and associating with all those performers, most of whom smoked! Even Jackie Kennedy was a heavy smoker, although she never let anyone photograph her smoking; reporters say her fingertips were stained from cigarettes! Smoking will kill you, as it did both of my parents - some very lucky smokers avoid COPD or lung cancer but many die of heart related disease at an earlier age. I was raised in a smoking household and have never smoked, but my lungs were damaged in childhood by my parents’ lack of information about the dangers of smoking!
Christopher deserved that standing ovation before all A-listers. He was going through massive health issues. He was paralysed. He was an awesome actor and a perfect superman. RIP ❤❤
Christopher reeve didn't die he became superman
no he died of cardiac arrest due to a drug he took
+187um Insane yea but what really killed was the horse wreck that's why he was in wheelchair.
Cameron Ortiz true but the official cause of death was cardiac arrest
Yea but i think he knew he was gonna die at some point
yeah truee
Tom Hanks was straight up at the front first. Celebrities back then had manners and genuinely respected them and other people!
to steal a line from Scarface" the eyes Chico, they never lie"
mattknight Celebrites still have manners - it's just the few bad apples like J-Lo and Kanye West that give others a bad name.
True true, the likes of Hugh Jackman are very highly regarded! I suppose I just look at modern Grammy Award shows and a lot are dressed and sat with a miserable face to prove a point about their ego.
He always makes me so emotional, whenever I watch something about him, I'm about to cry..
+Rene the best superman
Sitting or standing he was and will always be a man made of steel
Rip my friend you meant so much to all of us
You are our Superman so fly high
Wow the absolute awe in Jim Carrey’s eyes
He truly was Superman. His heart, strength and drive for good was stronger than any human on this planet.
He will be remembered as a true gentleman.
Nic Cage loves superman, and obviously really loves Chris and his work, look how hard he is clapping and his face.
Interestingly he almost played Superman in the late 90s
Yeah it was great to see
He’s a big comic book fan in the first place. That’s why he went to play ghost rider twice (even though he might not suit the part).
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think he changed his last name to Cage cos of Luke Cage.
@@Mutantgamer he 100% did that but cause of Luke cage
and to think that Chris' Superman being a big part at Cage's childhood
Whenever I need to ugly cry, I come here and watch this.
Me to.... My friend, me to
Why would you need to cry
Damn right!

OMG Look at Robin Williams cry!
Man if christopher reeves was still alive today....😦🥺
Seeing Robin Williams tear up at 0:17 has to be the most heart-wrenching thing ever...shows how truly close they were! Both such incredible men...reunited...R.I.P Reeve and Williams 😢
Word is Robin Williams was supposed to be Christopher Reeves college roommate but instead he was roommates with Kelsey Grammer and Danny DeVito
Yea I don't think he's tearing up
I dont see him
@@MuchoGottscho far left corner
Officer Shredd Behind Tarantino - really at the 18 sec Mark
A gracious and courageous man to the very end.
Of course he was; he's Superman, after all.
Thats what I've heard too. He got more humble after his accident. Anyways god knows better. May his soul rest in peace.
Peteto Chibs Please don't describe yourself.
I beg of you.
Peteto Chibs Oh,
The irony.
Peteto Chibs Because you have absolutely no evidence to berate and attack this great man.
Even in a wheel chair, he was the one and only true Man of Steel
Superman's alter ego was not Clark Kent. But Christopher Reeve.
0:18 You can see Robin Williams behind Tarantino , he's breaking down in tears. He was a good friend of Robin's.
Robin and Chris were studying together ;)
R.I.P. Robin Williams
They where best friend.
Great man
They both actually went to Juilliard.
Such a moment. I was 8 years old when I first saw this and I cried seeing Superman like this. It was just so cruel.
As an adult I have a new appreciation for it, because Reeve proved everyday after that that he really was Superman.
gay
@@masteredwinepps3955 you seem nice
@@vashthestampede11 they should give reeves' horse the nobel peace prize
I was 3 so I have no memory of this
Looks at all those familiar faces in the audience. They got to be there and give this legend that applause.. amazing.
Yeah most of them are a bit younger and later on, Kelly (John’s wife) dies in 2020 😔
That was the most emotional heart wrenching Academy Award moment in the history of the Oscars When that curtain was raised and Christopher Reeve was introduced was a moment that everyone in that theatre and at home would never ever forget It still touches my heart and soul to this day Christopher Reeve would pass away 8 years later on October 10 2004
All I see is Superman...
You should see a doctor about that
0:29 So heartwarming to see Nicolas Cage applauding to his favorite supehero Superman. RIP Christopher Reeve. 😭😭😭😭
Later that year he himself was just preparing for the Superman role, but the movie was cancelled.
@@Gwynbleidd66 yeah) I still wonder: what kind of Superman movie could have Tim Burton made?)
no superman movie will be succesfull without him
Can of tuna.
***** wow, I found the nostalgic idiot
Phoenix Oroboros
YOUR MOTHER?
***** wow that joke, is like you, from the 60s
Phoenix Oroboros
yeah your mother too
Je pense très souvent à lui.
Il restera dans mon cœur SUPERMAN à tout jamais et des heures heureuses de mon enfance. J'espère qu'il est bien là où il est avec son épouse 🙏
Christopher Reeve had shown courage when he came to the 68th Annual Academy Awards in 1996 months after he had an accident that damaged his spinal chord. The ovation he got that night was super.
That is one handsome dude.
YES!
Just a stud. Everyone loves him. I love him
Do the brand new dance
Wow, seeing them clapping for almost a whole minute made me tear up... they all seem like they look up to him. Especially Nic Cage at around 0:29. Truly a beautiful moment.
His, Jim Carrey's, and Meryl Streep's expressions say it all
Nic Cage is a huge Superman fan...even named his son Kal-El and for a large part in not the majority of Superman fans, Reeves is the only Superman
