Christopher Reeve’s Son Reveals His Favorite Scene With His Dad in SUPERMAN

My Friend Christopher Reeve He’s the perfect Clark Kent/Superman, and no matter how hard an actor tries, no one will be able to bring to the character what Reeve brought to him. It was truly something special, and every time I watch the original Superman movie I’m in awe.

There are so many amazing scenes that showcase Reeve’s acting talent in Superman, but there is one that completely blew me away and that I didn’t notice until I was older, and this scene is also Reeve’s son’s favorite scene, Matthew Reeve.

Matthew talks about the scene in the upcoming documentary Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Storyand thanks to CinemaBlend we have a clip here for you to watch.

Reeve says in the clip: “There’s this incredible scene, it’s my favorite scene from my dad’s film work. He was playing Superman, Clark Kent. He kind of takes off his glasses and he transforms. He puts his glasses back on and he’s Clark again, instantly. I mean, he absolutely nailed it.”

What I love about this scene is that there is no need for special effects. There is no need for any kind of visual makeup. It is just Christopher Reeve relying on his physicality and acting to illustrate the difference between Kal-El and his Clark Kent persona.
