Superman 2025 directed by James Gunn is made for this generation. Superman was played by David Corenswet (who by the way is a Star Wars fan, just saying). It is a struggle of superman being human and alien. Eventually, he said "I am as human as anybody. They've always been wrong about me. I love. I get scared. But that is being human. And that's my greatest strength." This version of superman shows more of the human side of him. It is not only saving the world. It also about mental health, legacy and identity.
Clark Kent was raised in Kansas by humble farmers. He was torn between the earthly upbringing and his Kryptonian ancestry. As a reporter in Daily Planet and as the boyfriend of Lois Lane, superman is left on deciding what kind of hero (and man) the world needs today.
Krypto, his foster dog, thou crazily savage, helps save the day. Thinking who the real owner is? Watch the movie.
Here are 5 things we can learn from Superman 2025 movie:
1. Even heroes bleed. Yes, he is superman but this movie has shown that there is weakness in his being human; and this weakness is his strength. He can save the world (no doubt) but what about his own struggles, his own hurts and his own bleeds. Do you sometimes feel that you are so good at helping others, but you are left alone to deal with your own issues?
2. It's okay to show your gentle side. It's not weakness being compassionate. In a world where power is everything, superman teaches us that gentleness is a form of greatness.
3. Coexist for a better world. You do not have to choose between two worlds. Clark Kent integrates his lives being a farm boy and the last son of Krypton. It only reminds you that your dreams and contradictions can coexist. You are allowed to do more than one thing.
4. Legacy is not what you left behind, it is who you choose to be. Superman is not trying to live up to his father's (Jor-El) expectations, but he is making his own path. This movie is showing us that we should not be dictated of what people think about us but choose and make your own destiny.
5. There is always hope. In this chaotic world, keeps on saving the earth. He does not have all the answers, but he shows up every time. Every day gives us new hope, be that hope to everyone else.
The 2025 Superman movie teaches us to be strong in our weakness, just like Krypto, unruly, savage and chaotic but who knows? he just might save the day.
