Superman IV: The Quest for Peace

Description

"Superman IV: The Quest for Peace" is a 1987 superhero film directed by Sidney J. Furie and starring Christopher Reeve as Superman. It is the fourth and final film in the original Superman film series, and follows Superman as he attempts to rid the world of nuclear weapons and prevent a global catastrophe. The film also stars Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor, Margot Kidder as Lois Lane, and Jon Cryer as Lenny Luthor.

The film received overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics and audiences alike, who criticized the film's poor special effects, weak script, and lack of originality. It was also a box office failure, grossing only $15.6 million against a budget of $17 million. The negative reception of "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace" effectively ended the original Superman film series, and the character would not appear in another live-action film until "Superman Returns" in 2006.

Despite its poor reception, "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace" has since gained a cult following among fans of the character and the film series. Some have praised its message of peace and nuclear disarmament, while others appreciate its campy, B-movie charm. However, the film is still generally regarded as a low point in the Superman film franchise and a cautionary tale for filmmakers looking to adapt comic book characters to the big screen.

Undoubtfully, cinematography has been my passion since a very young age. Even now, watching a new movie or series always prompts me to ask a lot of questions to the author. Thus, every little essay about a title is definitely not a spoiler, but rather an attempt to explore the idea.

Action & Adventure
Life of Pi, directed by Ang Lee and based on the Booker award-winning novel of Yann Martel, which was rewritten by David Magee for the movie, telling as a story about Indian boy survived shipwreck alongside with hyena, orangutan, a wounded zebra and a beautiful White Bengal tiger. Yann Martel have explored and studied lots of facts about an ocean life to give credence to story. That's why, despite the unbelievable storyline, the situations and solutions described in the movie could really take place in real life. The boy named Pi was raised in Indian family owning a zoo. At one day they decided to migrate in Canada with all of their animals and boarded the Japanese freighter. Soon after the leaving India, a shipwreck has killed all the people and animals except for little boy and four animals including furious tiger. All of them take a shelter on one small lifeboat. The boy has managed to survive in this uneasy situation for 227 days. A strong will to overcome the deadly perils, a faith in life and inexhaustible optimism leaded him to long journey adrift by the Pacific Ocean. The journey fortunately ends when their boat reaches the Mexico coast. The tiger (named Richard Parker, by the way) escapes to the nearest jungle, leaving the boy alone. Years after, Japanese Maritime officers interviews Pi in order to investigate the circumstances and consequences of shipwreck. Pi tells him as story about his peregrination, but no one believes him. Pi, feeling the lack of confidence, tells them another version of his wandering, without animals, instead of which a sailor, a cook and his mother act. In this butcherly version a cook kills a sailor and Pi's mother to use them as bait and food. After he tells the second story, Pi asks Japanese officers which of two versions they like most. When he gets the answer, confirming that story with animals is better, Pi says "…and so it goes with God".
