Super/Man – The Christopher Reeve story – REVIEW

Before Marvel became famous, it was Christopher Reeve who demonstrated that portraying a superhero like Superman could turn an actor into a star. Known as an all-American hero capable of defeating any adversary, he embodied those qualities. However, on May 27, 1995, his life took a drastic turn when a horse riding accident left him paralyzed and near death. The irony that the man who played Superman was now virtually immobile and reliant on assistance to breathe was too much for the tabloids. But “Super/Man – The Christopher Reeve Story” doesn’t dwell on this tragedy; instead, it shows how he refused to succumb to his situation and fought back against a fate that could have easily robbed him of his humanity.
