So, I went to go see Man of Steel today. While waiting in line, I noticed an elderly lady by herself. It boggled my mind a bit to see her there. What would an older lady be doing in a line for a super hero, action film? People were obviously chatting in line, waiting to get in, and the older woman started to comment. Apparently, she had been a Superman fan for decades. She even had a golden necklace that had the logo on it, saying she had worn it for the past 30 years. I thought nothing more of it when I went into the theater. I got my snacks and found a seat. Minutes later, I noticed that she was sitting in the same row I was. I could just tell how excited she was to see this movie. I had heard many reviews on it alright, most of them mixed, but I didn’t feel like saying anything because this was something special for her. When I was watching the film, I couldn’t help but think of her. There were so many scenes where I felt they would resonate with her. In a way, it helped my movie going experience, which counted the guy talking next to me while having his phone on. As I left when the credits rolled, I passed by her and asked what she thought of it. “It was amazing,” she said to me. The smile on her face was enough for me though. Just seeing that made me end up having a better day.
It'll be awful, but I'll still watch the **** out of it ;.; It's like I've got Stockholm Syndrome when it comes to that damned franchise.
