That lady on top of the house, reaching out to him like a God, is one of the images that always flash in my mind when I think of superheroes in general. Zack Snyder had alot of gorgeous cinematic moments.
This scene explain everything in the movie. If superman were real, we would portrayed him as a god or jesus. This alone can change human perception about everything. Religion, universe, god. We would be maniac if superman were real. Some will love him and some will hate him. Snyder really push the idea of superman being realistic to the next level.
@@andremarceau2736 You just made his point for him! He specifically said that some would choose to view him in a Messianic light and others would hate him for it. If he were real, you'd obviously see him as a false idol. And in the movie, while many do choose to see him as a saviour, there's another large faction that oppose this and do not blindly trust his existence or motives. In the light of such a paradigm shift, humans would struggle with how to comprehend it. This is the whole point.
@@jimbodiced5979 it's not Andres fault, this is what marvel does to people. They can no longer comprehend a great scene. Perhaps if there was a joke in this scene and superman was smiling , he would get it 😂😂
"Maybe he's not some devil or jesus character. Maybe he's just a guy trying to do the right thing" that right there. That line perfectly captures the essence of Superman. Superman isn't a hero because of his powers but because of what he does with those powers. Yet people still criticize Snyder for not "getting" superman.
they're all still hung up on Reeves. I mean, that man was a fantastic Superman, and his movies are bonafide classics, but if you're not going to let a character move beyond a particular interpretation from decades ago, then you're the problem. the so called "fans" are what hold the franchise back. if it weren't for them, the DCEU wouldn't be such a mess right now. also, there's this irrational hate for Snyder that I still don't get. sure, he's no Nolan, he's no Kubrick. but he does his own thing, and he's a hell of a visualist. yet they treat the man as if he was Michael Bay or something. then when he got removed from Justice League, no one liked what the studio did in order to appeal to the audience. most people don't even want to watch BvS again because of the theatrical cut, which left out critical scenes. they assume the "extra" footage is inconsequential like, say, Endgame's extra scenes (but I never saw anybody complain about that on their way to the re-release). WB are unparalleled when it comes to shooting themselves in the foot with puzzling decision-making. excuse the long text, but it just angers me that this particular vision was shat on and maligned for years while other companies get to make the same movie every year and people flock unquestioningly to consume them. there's a silver lining though, without all of this, we probably wouldn't have Joker, or the whole multiverse shtick they're trying to pull now, and the return of Keaton (Batfleck seems to be gone for good though, that sucks). hopefully the Snyder Cut will turn out great in HBO Max.
Yep, the only thing I disagreed with his portrayal in this movie were two things. 1.killing the terrorists guy in the beginning And 2. The whole,"no one stays good in this world" line(although that one is debtable)
@@yahsworld2940 I don't think he killed the terrorist guy. While he smashed through the wall, he smashed through the wall. The guy was probably fine shielded by Superman. Or else they wouldn't spend the whole film pinning murders on him or struggling to kill one man. The Ultimate Cut expands on this as Superman stopped a drone strike on the complex when he could have just flown in and got Lois. I think no one stays good is debatable. He says the line but he never tries to actually kill Batman. He tosses him around in a way that Batman won't be killed. His only real angry aggression happens when his strength has been significantly reduced. After that he continues to try and appeal to Bruce's humanity. He says this line but think his idea is no one can be a saint 24/7 but that's alright. Batman's interpretation was more live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
when they all put their hands out to touch superman gave me goosebumps. Snyder's vision for this film and the universe was amazing and perfect. it's a travesty the way he was treated.
He was polishing the shit hand Warner Bros gave him. Snyder originally wanted to do a solo Batman movie and MOS sequel after MOS was done, but WB put unrealistic expectations on him to catch up to Marvel’s success. This is proof that studio mandation isn’t the way to go. Warner Bros has been doing this to DC movies since the 1989 Batman movie; it’s all a cash grab for them not about creating series of successful movies (Harry Potter being the exception, and honestly they should’ve let Snyder do his thing and trusted in him)
Ulfric Stormcloak His director's cut of this film was really good and his plans for his two part Justice League start would have blown the cynics away.
When he landed and everyone took their hats off in respect, and everyone reaching out to touch him, loved that so much. When people complain that the public in this movie hate Superman they forget that those people are the minority in Metropolis who suffered in the Black Zero event, most people love Superman.
0:11 This is such beautiful imagery. The moment when he's walking towards the mother as he carries her daughter to her. And when he sees the mother's tears of relief, he smiles as he walks among the people and kneels down to hand the girl to her mother. That is Superman. Superman isn't defined by his strength and power alone, but by the hope he inspires in others.
In Man of Steel, when Jonathan Kent refused to be rescued by his son, that became one of the most misunderstood moments of the movie. But THIS SCENE perfectly demonstrates what Jonathan wanted to protect Clark from. Even after revealing himself to the world (when the time was right, and not before), saving the world, and protecting human lives, the entire world criticizes his actions, debates his very existence, and generally distrust him. It's like having the weight of the world on his shoulders, and to think this almost happened to him when he was 19? He can barely handle it now! If he had revealed himself prematurely, there's no doubt he would have buckled under that much pressure. This just goes to show that Jonathan was right to want to protect Clark as much as possible. The world wasn't ready, and neither was Clark.
It obvious people who claim to be “ReAl Dc FaNs” only want Donner Superman 2.0 where everything about Superman goes perfectly for him and be a blue boyscout.
Clark said he has lived in Kansas for 32 years, he only used his power for helping people and finding out who he truly is. If I were him, I would be Omni man or Homelander. Seriously, pa Kent did his best raising him, MOS is not perfect, but it is the best DCEU film to me.
+I am Superman That's no excuse, Christopher Nolan & David Goyer wrote his material for MOS, Henry Cavill only looks good in costume, but his acting is very limited.
in this film, Affleck is also so-so, but this role is as an actor, he is good. Give Henry a different role, we'll see. Christopher Reeve, too, did not show the masterpieces of acting. This role was. For me, Henry is the best Superman
Zack understands Superman. He’s showing you EXACTLY how the world would react to Superman if he was real. Don’t see how anyone can call this lazy writing in the slightest.
@@pjmathison9787 I think that's the point. It's a misdirection. Superman was always seen as a god among men, but that's not who he wants to be. He wants to do good, he wants to do what others can't do for themselves. He wants to save people who can't. But we put him on a pedestal, a shining light that casts it's own shadows and when we blame him for what he can't do, it's not his fault but ours.
Superman's kind smile when he returns the child to the parents. Then the slightly freaked out look on his face when he's surrounded by adoring people. Such a pure Superman moment. He's not in it for the glory, only the good.
I also liked what he said about humans looking for a Messianic figure and then wanting that figure to abide to our rules. It’s an interesting thought, especially when it comes to Superman.
Please tell me you didn't refer to Neil deGrasse Tyson as just some "Indian Guy". Dude is as American as he can get. Born in Manhattan, went to Harvard, lived his whole life in American trying to teach idiots about validity of science.
1:38 That! That right there, THAT is what Superman is, he doesn't see himself as God like everyone else sees him, he sees himself as just a guy who goes out of his way to help people, just because it's the right thing.
The problem is that it's not Superman telling people this, it's someone supposing. That's the biggest issue - Superman doesn't define himself, he let's others do it. He never tells anyone who he is, he just acts. Superman is remembered for his rescues and fighting bad guys but Superman has also always defined himself as a person who is doing the right thing. He tells people this, he talks to people. Superman never let's himself stand above others because he doesn't view himself as above others. The problem with Synder's Superman is that it feels more like the Super is what defines him rather than the man.
@@writer_man5318 yo what? This superman does define himself but not by saving cats from trees and telling news reporters "I'm here to do the right thing!" He shows his character with his actions. He's always doing the right thing. If you want him to spell it out, he does in man of steel in his various discussions with General Swanwick. Your name is "Writer Man" and you're literally advocating for "telling not showing"
@@writer_man5318 To be fair, if him agreeing to come before the Senate committee is not a demonstration of humility and good faith, I don’t know what is. Although I do agree that they should’ve shown more of him actually being kind and talkative with the people he saves. That’s an essential part of his personality, and you can’t just let it stay implicit.
In real life scenario this could happens like 100%. Humanity was not ready to accept that an alien being, let alone his race just destroyed half of the city on Earth, to accept him easily as one of them.
1:48 by FAR the best superman scene, probably ever. Such a powerful scene he really arrived to Earth and made every human question what’s even real. That S on the roof, that woman looking up to the sky with all her hopes and prayers, ir wasn’t God that answered her call, it was Superman.
Zack Snyder’s craft is under appreciated. The imagery in this section is perfect. The messianic shot in Mexico is obvious, but the rest? Oh my god. Superman pulling a ship as if he’s carrying a burden, but he’s actually saving the people stranded on top that survived the sink of their ship. Superman rescuing the astronauts from the explosion of their rocket, and he lands as if he’s struggling with the weight of the rocket, but he’s actually being careful not to hurt the people inside. Superman about to rescue flood survivors while the senator and journalist are talking about how if they don’t let him act, innocent people will die. Zack Snyder’s films have always been about imagery, but most people don’t care for imagery in movies. Those of us that do, we understand and appreciate this movie a whole lot.
@@mikelarry9517 how does "superman get worshipped" makes it better than any superhero lol? This is the most non supermanish to me, the usual superman would just continue to put out the fire with his cold breath and then interact with people adter he's done fixing the problem
It's more than just the messianic thing in Mexico. Superman is the ultimate all_American hero, but he is an alien. We, Mexicans are aliens to Americans. They call us aliens.
BvS wasn’t perfect but I tell you what, Zack Snyder’s visual style is perfect for Superman. He captures the essence of the artwork of Alex Ross and Jim Lee, who I feel drew Superman the best. Zack Snyder portraying Superman as a modern day god among humanity is everything I always thought Superman was like. The slow motion and the romanticism of how Superman and other heroes are seen is exactly the mental picture in mind and he captured it beautifully.
I think he’s not portraying Superman as a God. It looks like he’s portraying him as an Angel. Because he’s always helping people here when they actually need that help, he has a great power that helps him to save people from the really bad accidents yet he doesn’t have that much power to predict or prevent them. That’s how I see it
He's not portraying him as a god. He's portraying how some people see him as a god, even though he's "just a guy trying to do the right thing". But yeah I love his visual style as well, it's perfect for these grand and larger than life characters.
@@TG-bd7yd exactly!!! Snyder was portraying Superman as a god like figure through the perspective of the humans. People only wanted to see Superman in these scenes but don’t understand the context of the scenes and shots that Snyder is trying to portray through his visual storytelling. People just wanted to see Superman save people and say “stay in school kids” and wink at the camera and blame Snyder for not doing that when he’s not trying to do that at all with his movies 🤦♂️
This scene is spectacular. How would you feel when people debate whether your existence is necessary or not? Superman does the right thing but people see it differently, even though he saved countless people, he was also responsible for the loss of others. Zack, Thank you for this modernized version of Superman!
Hero of light exactly I’m just imagining all the politics around the world. Getting mad at superman doing the right thing when there’s 8 billion people in the world and he can’t save everybody all at once.
@@herooflight7931 It's just the way the world works. If Superman existed, then his priority would be to act in the interests of the United States. Not another country. Why save lives in Africa when there are plenty of lives to be saved here?
@@herooflight7931 Who cares? I'm an American. Which means my tax money goes to help Americans......not mexicans, africans, or chinese. A duty of a citizen is to HIS nation first.
As someone who was trapped 4 days in a roof because of a hurricane hitting my country. Let me tell you that is fucking horrible, you feel hopeless waiting for the worse.
This is actually one of the best references. The woman symbolizes a human that needs God’s help. And Superman with that paradise sun light behind him symbolizes an Angel who’s been sent by a God to help us. That’s how I see it
It's a key shot in this movie. A lot of critics would look at this shot and say "why is he just floating there, do something! This is all style and no substance" and they miss the whole point in that shot. It's not just to look pretty. I see it as a shot symbolising how so many people in the movie see Superman as a god. Despite Clark just being a guy trying to do the right thing (like Vikram says in this clip) people look at him as a messianic figure and savior. Compare it to the shot later in the film when Clark goes to meet Bruce right before their fight. Superman appears in the sky covered in rain, there's thunder behind him. Batman is in the same position as the women except unlike her, he's not reaching out to Superman. This shot juxtaposes with the shot in this scene to show the other side of Supermans public perception. How half of the world, like Batman, see him as a threat.
2:20 Goosebumps moment It shows how good as a director Zack Snyder is ! This movie doesn't portray Superheroes as celebrities It shows the actual reactions of humanity if superheroes were real That's why I love DC and Snyderverse more than MCU
that part gets me every single time man chilling, goosebumps. Superman is THEEEEEE superhero of all superheroes dude, fka spiderman, fk a hulk, fka ironman like this dude IS IT. Hail Snyder!
"Are you as United States senator personally comfortable saying to a grieving parent: Superman could have saved your child, but on principle, we did not want him to act." For a background character, his one piece of dialogue sent chills down my spine.
Zack Snyder is a fucking genius and ridiculously underrated. For these scenes alone this movie would have been a masterpiece. Thank you for your bold vision, mr Snyder.
2:15 I mean come on.... Zach Snyder totally masters the art of filming. Each time I watch this scene I get goosebumps. Everything is just perfect. I love the dark tone, the slow pace, all those things that magnify the acting. Perfect
To be fair the theatrical release really lacked a lot of key scenes to fully understand how great the movie actually is, that's all on Warner Bros of course
For those who say superman was depressing and gritty, you must see man of steel once again, he cleared every doubt which was to come in future..... World wasn't ready for him...
When Supermam was alive lot of people hate and afraid of him.When he sacrificed his life to save them 90% of Earth was sad and lonely without him.Superman is alien,but alien who is more human than others.
0:04 - 0:48 LOVE THIS!! as he is descending a burning building is collapsing behind him as he just saved a human being who was determined dead because no one else could save her. He lands with firemen and police rushing behind him. The scene is fucking crazy and embodies everything superman is without saying a word. I still don't understand why people didn't like this masterpiece. #RESTORETHESNYDERVERSE
Disney Marvel could never approach this level of suspension of disbelief. Snyder did a massive favor to the viewing audience. Appealed to our intelleigence, and because not much of exists any longer, these movies were panned by critics.
you can appreciate this movie without shitting on the mcu, relax. they both have good qualities and bad qualities to them. if you like darker grittier stories, the mcu has plenty of those too like cap winter soldier and the old netflix shows like punisher
The extremely uncomfortable look on Clark's face as all the people are reaching for him speaks volumes. He thinks of himself as just a normal person who can do extraordinary things and we see him as a God among men.
Out of all the DC Comic films ever made, this one film had and always will have the greatest concept and potential in the entire franchise. And this movie was the biggest victim of studio interference that ever happened, Zack did nothing wrong.
The music solemn and subdued in tone and theme until such time we know the woman to be given to caring hands, After which it rises, swelling like the oratories in the Temples of the gods while still holding on to the subdued theme is quite a statement
This is basically is a good portrayal of Superman and gives a unique perspective, people expect Superman to be this perfect god-like being when in reality he’s only a man who’s trying to do the right thing there’s no moral obligation or anything, it’s difficult for our society to process that someone just wants to help with nothing in return or anything to gain. Zack Snyder definitely showed a unique side of Superman and how people would realistically react
This whole film is an aesthetic prodigy. But this particular scene, which is a thematic synthesis of everything the film wants to tell us about Superman as a myth and as a man, simply overwhelms me.
This was certainly one of my favorite scenes of the BvS movie. Superman was portrayed as an actual God which he most definitely is. The divine nature was always an essential element to the Superman character.
It's actually the opposite it's trying to say he is not a god, he is someone who is just helping and saving everyone because it's the right thing to do.
@@mohithbunny I think he's saying the perception of Superman was as a god. A being who could do those things and saved so many would quickly become thought of as a god. And that doesn't mean there aren't those who will despise him for it (Luthor.)
Such a powerful scene with the woman raising her hand to Superman and the Sun shining behind him, like an angel coming down from the heavens to save her.
Well yeah but I'd be pissed if I had a superhero hovering above and just watching me and others suffer in a flood before he does anything.........2:20 SuperDouche
@Adam Sandler Drip You know what would've been better imagery for a superhero movie? Him saving them rather being in the sky and a victim begging for him
The shit Superman gets, I just wonder out loud- when will there be a superhero that'll look those people straight in the eye and say "OK fine. The next time there's a major disaster; a mad scientist unleashes some unholy creation like a genetic freak or robot army, an alien invasion begins like the one I stopped, when you guys need someone to save you, remember these simple words- DON'T COME TO ME!!!!!"
Someone is called a hero because he/she will never say that. The people that try to do hero stuff and say those words are the so called vigilante aka anti hero
Haters: Zack Snyder made Superman into a Jesus allegory. BvS: The fact is maybe he's not a Jesus or a devil character; maybe he's just a guy trying to do the right thing.
That lady on top of the house, reaching out to him like a God, is one of the images that always flash in my mind when I think of superheroes in general. Zack Snyder had alot of gorgeous cinematic moments.
Facts, that part was deep man.

Superman's kind smile when he returns the child to the parents. Then the slightly freaked out look on his face when he's surrounded by adoring people. Such a pure Superman moment. He's not in it for the glory, only the good.
The Indian guy was the only one who actually understood what Superman was out of that group. Just a guy trying to do the right thing
I also liked what he said about humans looking for a Messianic figure and then wanting that figure to abide to our rules. It’s an interesting thought, especially when it comes to Superman.
Please tell me you didn't refer to Neil deGrasse Tyson as just some "Indian Guy". Dude is as American as he can get. Born in Manhattan, went to Harvard, lived his whole life in American trying to teach idiots about validity of science.

That clip with the ship is so beautiful.
LBbackflip Snyder said in the commentary it was supposed to depict Christ carrying his cross which is AMAZING similarities he made
1:38 That! That right there, THAT is what Superman is, he doesn't see himself as God like everyone else sees him, he sees himself as just a guy who goes out of his way to help people, just because it's the right thing.
The problem is that it's not Superman telling people this, it's someone supposing. That's the biggest issue - Superman doesn't define himself, he let's others do it. He never tells anyone who he is, he just acts. Superman is remembered for his rescues and fighting bad guys but Superman has also always defined himself as a person who is doing the right thing. He tells people this, he talks to people.
Superman never let's himself stand above others because he doesn't view himself as above others. The problem with Synder's Superman is that it feels more like the Super is what defines him rather than the man.
@@writer_man5318 yo what? This superman does define himself but not by saving cats from trees and telling news reporters "I'm here to do the right thing!" He shows his character with his actions. He's always doing the right thing.
If you want him to spell it out, he does in man of steel in his various discussions with General Swanwick.
Your name is "Writer Man" and you're literally advocating for "telling not showing"
@@writer_man5318 To be fair, if him agreeing to come before the Senate committee is not a demonstration of humility and good faith, I don’t know what is. Although I do agree that they should’ve shown more of him actually being kind and talkative with the people he saves. That’s an essential part of his personality, and you can’t just let it stay implicit.
@@TG-bd7yd 😁
@@writer_man5318 you guys are biased if you watched that film in its own way you'll get it
"Superman could've saved your child. But on principle we did not want him to act".
That explains a lot
Insurance companies in a nutshell
I like how this scene depicts superman as a god and how people reach out to him as a symbol of hope.
The point of this scene was to show how the world sees him as either a god or a devil whereas he's just a guy trying to do the right thing.
In real life scenario this could happens like 100%. Humanity was not ready to accept that an alien being, let alone his race just destroyed half of the city on Earth, to accept him easily as one of them.
1:48 by FAR the best superman scene, probably ever. Such a powerful scene he really arrived to Earth and made every human question what’s even real. That S on the roof, that woman looking up to the sky with all her hopes and prayers, ir wasn’t God that answered her call, it was Superman.
Homer was right
ABSOLUTELY GOD TIER SCENE
Can’t stop watching the bit when he comes down with the girl... chills
I get tears each time because of the music and the act when all people are around him and he is like all above and just looking up.
Dude! Right!? It's amazing. The music and all the people that reach out to him because he's basically a God to them.
@@wildhunt6350 Jesus calm down it’s just a superhero movie lol
@@willm678 why is that a bad thing though? The film providing a big emotional response to people (myself included) is a GOOD thing.
@@chistianfritz9146 that’s true. It was a good scene I’ll admit.
I can never get enough of the background music , the mixture of the dialogues, the visual representation and the music is just art.
Same mate, this is perfection.
This scene is the greatest: writing, imagery, music. All perfect
Thank you, Henry Cavill. You’ll always be Superman.
Zack Snyder’s craft is under appreciated. The imagery in this section is perfect. The messianic shot in Mexico is obvious, but the rest? Oh my god. Superman pulling a ship as if he’s carrying a burden, but he’s actually saving the people stranded on top that survived the sink of their ship. Superman rescuing the astronauts from the explosion of their rocket, and he lands as if he’s struggling with the weight of the rocket, but he’s actually being careful not to hurt the people inside. Superman about to rescue flood survivors while the senator and journalist are talking about how if they don’t let him act, innocent people will die. Zack Snyder’s films have always been about imagery, but most people don’t care for imagery in movies. Those of us that do, we understand and appreciate this movie a whole lot.
The first scene in Mexico makes this movie much better than any superhero movie
@@mikelarry9517 how does "superman get worshipped" makes it better than any superhero lol? This is the most non supermanish to me, the usual superman would just continue to put out the fire with his cold breath and then interact with people adter he's done fixing the problem
@@cyborg3696 yeah, just use the cold breath and freezing everyone inside. People see him as a god, dumbass
It's more than just the messianic thing in Mexico. Superman is the ultimate all_American hero, but he is an alien. We, Mexicans are aliens to Americans. They call us aliens.
@@cyborg3696 because if Superman was real this is exactly how people would react. Especially in Mexico.
BvS wasn’t perfect but I tell you what, Zack Snyder’s visual style is perfect for Superman. He captures the essence of the artwork of Alex Ross and Jim Lee, who I feel drew Superman the best. Zack Snyder portraying Superman as a modern day god among humanity is everything I always thought Superman was like. The slow motion and the romanticism of how Superman and other heroes are seen is exactly the mental picture in mind and he captured it beautifully.
I think he’s not portraying Superman as a God. It looks like he’s portraying him as an Angel. Because he’s always helping people here when they actually need that help, he has a great power that helps him to save people from the really bad accidents yet he doesn’t have that much power to predict or prevent them. That’s how I see it
He's not portraying him as a god. He's portraying how some people see him as a god, even though he's "just a guy trying to do the right thing". But yeah I love his visual style as well, it's perfect for these grand and larger than life characters.
@@TG-bd7yd exactly!!! Snyder was portraying Superman as a god like figure through the perspective of the humans. People only wanted to see Superman in these scenes but don’t understand the context of the scenes and shots that Snyder is trying to portray through his visual storytelling. People just wanted to see Superman save people and say “stay in school kids” and wink at the camera and blame Snyder for not doing that when he’s not trying to do that at all with his movies 🤦♂️
F*** you, it was perfect.
This scene is spectacular. How would you feel when people debate whether your existence is necessary or not? Superman does the right thing but people see it differently, even though he saved countless people, he was also responsible for the loss of others. Zack, Thank you for this modernized version of Superman!
2:05 Goddamn, this scene is really powerful.
Top 5 scenes of the movie, easily

Every act is a political act and that's what's wrong with the world today
Hero of light exactly I’m just imagining all the politics around the world. Getting mad at superman doing the right thing when there’s 8 billion people in the world and he can’t save everybody all at once.
@@Misskittyheart that is true. If one thing has been proven over the years is that politics are completely useless
@@herooflight7931 It's just the way the world works. If Superman existed, then his priority would be to act in the interests of the United States. Not another country. Why save lives in Africa when there are plenty of lives to be saved here?
@@mosesking2923 because United States is just one part of the world.
@@herooflight7931 Who cares? I'm an American. Which means my tax money goes to help Americans......not mexicans, africans, or chinese. A duty of a citizen is to HIS nation first.

Agreed.
Ya estoy muy viejo para esto.
This is such a great scene 1:48-2:22, gives me chills every time
sus
One of the greatest scenes I’ve ever seen
It was unbelievable in theaters and actually made me cry
As someone who was trapped 4 days in a roof because of a hurricane hitting my country. Let me tell you that is fucking horrible, you feel hopeless waiting for the worse.
Honestly, this was genuinely incredible, and such a breath of fresh air from the sillier recent Marvel content
2:22 he literally looks like a god
Abhisar Sharma He is a God!!!!!
This is actually one of the best references. The woman symbolizes a human that needs God’s help. And Superman with that paradise sun light behind him symbolizes an Angel who’s been sent by a God to help us. That’s how I see it
He looks like a hero
That's basically what he would be looked at as if he was in the real world. Underrated movie.
It's a key shot in this movie. A lot of critics would look at this shot and say "why is he just floating there, do something! This is all style and no substance" and they miss the whole point in that shot. It's not just to look pretty. I see it as a shot symbolising how so many people in the movie see Superman as a god. Despite Clark just being a guy trying to do the right thing (like Vikram says in this clip) people look at him as a messianic figure and savior.
Compare it to the shot later in the film when Clark goes to meet Bruce right before their fight. Superman appears in the sky covered in rain, there's thunder behind him. Batman is in the same position as the women except unlike her, he's not reaching out to Superman. This shot juxtaposes with the shot in this scene to show the other side of Supermans public perception. How half of the world, like Batman, see him as a threat.
0:43 Look at Superman. This is not what he wanted. He just wanted to be someone who's doing the right thing.
2:20
Goosebumps moment
It shows how good as a director Zack Snyder is !
This movie doesn't portray Superheroes as celebrities
It shows the actual reactions of humanity if superheroes were real

"Are you as United States senator personally comfortable saying to a grieving parent: Superman could have saved your child, but on principle, we did not want him to act." For a background character, his one piece of dialogue sent chills down my spine.
Poor Superman. Just goes to show no matter how good you are, some people will just do whatever they can to control/bring you down.
"Despite everything you've done for them eventually they will hate you."

Zack Snyder is a fucking genius and ridiculously underrated. For these scenes alone this movie would have been a masterpiece. Thank you for your bold vision, mr Snyder.
I love the music of BvS and MoS. They capture perfectly the ominous feeling people have around the figure of Superman....
This movie is a work of art, you can't say that about many films these days
This movie was ahead of its time. Underappreciated for sure.
Makes me sad we’ll never get quality like this from the DCEU again. Movie is so damn good
We'll get more of mcu quality instead in the future (':
BVS is garbage
Masterpiece. I will never pay a penny for a DC product with Gunns name attached.
@@licmysak7842nobody asked
2:15 I mean come on.... Zach Snyder totally masters the art of filming. Each time I watch this scene I get goosebumps. Everything is just perfect. I love the dark tone, the slow pace, all those things that magnify the acting. Perfect
This whole scene is just so powerful..kudos for the team who worked on this...the colour grade is immaculate too
Man this movie was so good. Gosh... People really hate what they don't understand.
To be fair the theatrical release really lacked a lot of key scenes to fully understand how great the movie actually is, that's all on Warner Bros of course
For those who say superman was depressing and gritty, you must see man of steel once again, he cleared every doubt which was to come in future..... World wasn't ready for him...
@Based Stickman and you were right and Zack Snyder was right with Justice League 4 hour movie.
Happy to have been a part of this film, thank your for this opportunity. I would be most grateful to have another opportunity in the future.
I'm not even going to lie. I just re-watched this today and got tears in my eyes. Beautiful scene!
The fact they say Snyder's superman doesn't portray hope is Unacceptable!
I love the controversy surrounding this scene in the movie.
When Supermam was alive lot of people hate and afraid of him.When he sacrificed his life to save them 90% of Earth was sad and lonely without him.Superman is alien,but alien who is more human than others.
The Greatest scene in all Superhero movies !! Perfect.
this little montage is absolutely incredible.
That flood scene OMG 😦❤🙌🏻
This scene is a piece of art...
the best of the movie. Zack snyder is the best.
0:04 - 0:48 LOVE THIS!! as he is descending a burning building is collapsing behind him as he just saved a human being who was determined dead because no one else could save her. He lands with firemen and police rushing behind him. The scene is fucking crazy and embodies everything superman is without saying a word. I still don't understand why people didn't like this masterpiece.

Disney Marvel could never approach this level of suspension of disbelief. Snyder did a massive favor to the viewing audience. Appealed to our intelleigence, and because not much of exists any longer, these movies were panned by critics.
Superman can ki** the entire Marvel on his own.
you can appreciate this movie without shitting on the mcu, relax. they both have good qualities and bad qualities to them. if you like darker grittier stories, the mcu has plenty of those too like cap winter soldier and the old netflix shows like punisher
The extremely uncomfortable look on Clark's face as all the people are reaching for him speaks volumes. He thinks of himself as just a normal person who can do extraordinary things and we see him as a God among men.
Out of all the DC Comic films ever made, this one film had and always will have the greatest concept and potential in the entire franchise. And this movie was the biggest victim of studio interference that ever happened, Zack did nothing wrong.
Batman V Superman Ultimate Edition Rocked
The music solemn and subdued in tone and theme until such time we know the woman to be given to caring hands,
After which it rises, swelling like the oratories in the Temples of the gods
while still holding on to the subdued theme is quite a statement
I always cry when superman saves that woman from the flood
If superhero existed this is exactly how we have portrayed it.......Superman is the benchmark on which every other fictional superhero is ever creted
Its comforting 2 know that the most powerful being on earth is also the one that possesses the purest soul.
2:10 absolutely the best Superman scene ever.
1:48 is a reference to Action Comics #144.
WOW!!!
Batman v superman was the movie which was 20 years ahead of his making...
If Superman was real, this is exactly how humanity will treat him...
One of the best scenes in cbm history.
I wish we had someone like this now. We need him now more than ever.
Zack Snyders DC universe proves that people don't want realism they just want one dimensional superhero movies
Pa Kent was right. The world wasn't ready.
THIS IS HOW YOU WRITE SUPERMAN!
100%
What a shot that was when that woman is crying after supes saved them from what looks like a hurricane or tsunami of some kind wow powerful scene.
Scenes like this are what could’ve made these movies epic.
2:09 DON'T YOU DARE SAY IT

Government would be terrified of any being that would challenge their faux grip on others lives.
Lol. Governments would be rendered useless if Superman came to Earth.
Best piece of art in one scene...
Zach cooked with this scene
Yuppp
This scene is top 3 for me in the entire genre. It's that good.
this is the greatest sequence of all superhero movies, explain the kind of hero who wants help and all reactions of people introducing a God among us.
This is basically is a good portrayal of Superman and gives a unique perspective, people expect Superman to be this perfect god-like being when in reality he’s only a man who’s trying to do the right thing there’s no moral obligation or anything, it’s difficult for our society to process that someone just wants to help with nothing in return or anything to gain. Zack Snyder definitely showed a unique side of Superman and how people would realistically react
Scene is so biblical, love it.

This whole film is an aesthetic prodigy. But this particular scene, which is a thematic synthesis of everything the film wants to tell us about Superman as a myth and as a man, simply overwhelms me.
The controversy against superman gives me goosebumps and tear in my eyes
The scenes are really powerful...give you on goosebump after the other..!
I love when Supes kneels when he's returning the mothers child. He is not above them.
0:01 that SOUNDTRACK, Superman deserved it.
This was certainly one of my favorite scenes of the BvS movie. Superman was portrayed as an actual God which he most definitely is. The divine nature was always an essential element to the Superman character.
It's actually the opposite it's trying to say he is not a god, he is someone who is just helping and saving everyone because it's the right thing to do.
@@mohithbunny I think he's saying the perception of Superman was as a god. A being who could do those things and saved so many would quickly become thought of as a god. And that doesn't mean there aren't those who will despise him for it (Luthor.)
Such a powerful scene with the woman raising her hand to Superman and the Sun shining behind him, like an angel coming down from the heavens to save her.
I love that Neil de Grasse Tyson cameo
0:05 the slow motion, the soundtrack, everything is beautiful lol
And most importantly the shots
zack snyder really made us believe a man could fly.

Him saving them rather being in the sky and a victim begging for him
The shit Superman gets, I just wonder out loud- when will there be a superhero that'll look those people straight in the eye and say "OK fine. The next time there's a major disaster; a mad scientist unleashes some unholy creation like a genetic freak or robot army, an alien invasion begins like the one I stopped, when you guys need someone to save you, remember these simple words- DON'T COME TO ME!!!!!"
