Man of Steel Makes Me Wanna Be a Superman!


When I was watching the movie, I was noticing how there's so much to get inspired from in it. There were so many dialogues and quotes in it that are cryptic, for me at least. After watching the movie, I thought, this movie tells us so much more than superman being a super hero. He's a human being. He's a super human and the movie tells us so much about what humanity is. So here I am with a few quotes from the film and how I relate to them.


Plus, having a body and looks like him won't hurt too ;)




Clark Kent - age 9:The world's too big, Mom.

Martha Kent: Then make it small. Focus on my voice. Pretend it's an island out in the ocean. Can you see it?

Clark Kent - age 9: I see it...

The scene where Clark can't understand what's happening to him, and he locks himself up in the janitor's closet and then his mum comes and says this to him. I can so relate. When I was little, I remember my first day of school, and I was 3 or 4 years old. It was exciting but scary too. When the time came to get into the van to leave for school, I ran and hid behind the couch, crying, and everyone came looking for me, but my mother knew where I would be. She calmed me down and told me that everything's gonna be alright.  And I stopped crying, and believed her. There's just something about mothers, they know how to calm down their kids. And everything gets better!

Plus, I think it's a symbol of how the world is so small and how you can do so much with so little of this world and be a better you. Use your resources well enough and try your best. And the world is yours.

Lara Lor-Van: He'll be an outcast, a freak. They'll kill him.

And much later

Jor-El: [to Lara] Out there, amongst the stars, he will be free.

Okay. I admit. I'm a freak. Always will be and be proud of who I am. And the world HAS tried to kill me. Honestly. Kill my drive, kill my passion, kill my creativity but I will not give up. I will be who I am and keep doing my thing. Pretty soon, I will be a man of steel too and i will show that their bullets can't hurt my spirit! Amongst the stars: how to put it? Well, i do mingle with celebrities and they are the stars and since I blog about them or tweet about them, it feels good. yuo can call it kinda free. But that's not how I would take it. You see, I have big dreams and ambitions, almost like everyone else. And while looking at the stars does blind me (the sun is a star people!) it does make me imagine myself among them . I have always shown my love for sunlight, so no wonder it makes me feel free. So yeah, If I be myself and try hard to reach to the top, and keep trying to improve myself, I can land among the stars and feel free. Hopefully.

 

Jor-El: Embodied within that hope is the fundamental belief the potential of every person to be a force for good.

I wanna see the best in every one. I try so hard to see the best in everyone, I do. But they disappoint me so much. But then I see a little spark in them. Spark of positivity, and then I believe everything's gonna be alright! You see, people can be very selfish. And this selfishness leads them to be vicious. And that hurts. But there's this shy little part of them that's afraid to be good because it fears it might get hurt. And thus this chain reaction of evil starts and well...it's just lame. I wish everyone would be the best of themselves so this world could be a better place. And that can only happen if we trust each other. We must learn to trust, and learn not to break others' trust!



Jonathan Kent: You just have to decide what kind of man you want to grow up to be, Clark. Whoever that man is, he's going to change the world.

I just hope one day I can be the kind of a person who can change the world for good. And if not the world, then at least the world of one person. Once i am firm enough to take the first step, and once anyone is, that is when the true change begins. You change yourself, and you change the world. It all begins from you.

Jonathan Kent: People are afraid of what they don't understand.

See, that's the truth. And how I will relate it to my life and almost every other Pakistani youngster's life is that there are a certain career choices one is supposed to take. Pre med, pre engineering or Icom or computers. And that's that. Everyone thinks these are the only career paths that will make them money, but now the world has expanded so much, there are so many opportunities out there that it maybe scares our elders. Yes, it's confusing our minds, but what's wrong with taking a chance. In the end, you're only learning more and making mistakes is how we and others learn, right? What's so wrong with becoming a media student and why do we have to look down upon people who opt for simple BA or BSc.? Isn't the world all about exploring and making a wonder out of yourself? How will you live if you won't venture into the unknown. Unknown feelings, unknown words, unknown emotions, unknown actions, unknown selves? How will you learn to just be?

Jor-El: You will give the people an ideal to strive towards. They will race behind you, they will stumble, they will fall. But in time, they will join you in the sun. In time, you will help them accomplish wonders.

I wanna be a pioneer. I love the Levi's Pioneers jeans advert. It's just amazing. I wanna be that guy people strive to be like. I wanna be influential. I wanna be an inspiration. I wanna be me. I wanna be followed. I wanna be somebody. That's it. I just wanna help people like me reach to a  place where they themselves are somebody. I wanna be a beacon of hope. Mind it, I don't wanna be leader, because then it's so much responsibility. I just wanna help people, freaks, introverts craving to be big, misfits to fit, and just be themselves.

Jonathan Kent: I have to believe that you were sent here for a reason. And even if it takes the rest of your life, you owe it to yourself to find out what that reason is.

That is pretty self explanatory. This world was made for us. We need to find out what part  we have to play in it to make it a better world. And for that, we will need to find ourselves, who we are. Once we figure that out, we can see the puzzle coming along together and we will then see what we were meant to do in this world. We owe it to ourselves to find out who we are, where our skills are strong and then implement those talents to make the world a better place to live not only for us, but the whole of humanity.

Jor-El: The only way to know how strong, is to keep testing your limits.

Once we set on that journey of finding ourselves, we will only know how capable we are by venturing into the unknown and testing our limits. How will we know what we can do if we don't find a way to see we can do it?

Jor-El: Your mother and I believed Krypton lost something precious, the element of choice, of chance. What if a child dreamed of becoming something other than what society had intended? What if a child aspired to something greater? You were the embodiment of that belief Kal.

THAT'S ME. I'm superman! I wanna be that kid who wants be something different from what is planned for him. And whatever I have said in the previous words pretty much sums it all!
