This might come as a shock to some of you but saying “I’m not informed enough on this particular topic to have an opinion” is about 100 times more respectable than being misinformed

Man of Steel/Dawn of Justice | Parallels

Batman v Superman starts with Bruce at a funeral, facing down the meaningless of the world. It ends with him at another funeral finding meaning. (x)

Is it really surprising that the most powerful man in the world should be a figure of controversy?

So I posted about that cool parallel in Batman v Superman and Man of Steel, which I saw on twitter, where Lex says the “punishment for witches” (referencing Martha) is “death by fire” and how Lara was killed in a firey explosion in Man of Steel. It’s a really cool parallel.

Then @becominganoven pointed out to me that the musical motif that plays when Lex says the “death by fire” line is the same as the one that played during Lara’s death in Man of Steel. Check it out. In Lara’s death scene, it starts around 2:45.

Then in the rooftop scene in BvS, you can hear the same music when Lex says the line at 3:15.

I absolutely adore the way music is incorporated in this way. Music really is another character in DC movies. Clark’s birth mother was being referenced in this scene without a character directly referencing her. Clark lost one mother to that same music, and they played the same music when he was at risk of losing another one. Ugh, this movie.

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice// Justice League- Superman/Doomsday parallels

[lyrafay]

Snyder’s blunt commentary is amplified by the most striking imagery of his filmography. Snyder has become a more sophisticated visual storyteller since experimenting with slow motion with an amateur’s enthusiasm in “300” and “Watchmen.” The deaths of Bruce Wayne’s parents, for example, have never been more provocatively framed than in “Batman v Superman.” In this scene, Snyder uses short depth of field to evince the anxiety of being at the wrong end of a gun, with morbid emphasis provided by slow-motion shots of the gun’s slider and a shell hitting the ground. This is topped by another first-person shot of the gun barrel, this time with the weapon inside of the mother’s pearl necklace. With pearls raining down after the gun fires, Snyder captures innocence and hopelessness, two concepts connected to the loss of power and control that Americans experienced as they watched planes strike the World Trade Center. Wayne’s tragedy in “Batman v Superman” is not just another origin story but parallels the outrage and trauma that fuel contemporary U.S. in-fighting. “Batman v Superman” astutely identifies the yearning in the United States for social solidarity. Batman reminisces about a simpler, almost mythical time of “diamond absolutes.” Wonder Woman sums up a common sentiment on the futility of partisan politics (“Man made a world where standing together isn’t possible.”). The most powerful reminder of America’s moral confusion comes from newspaper editor Perry White (played with a perfect no-bullshit tone by Laurence Fishburne): “The American conscience died with Robert, Martin, and John.” “Batman v Superman” is unlikely to provide inspiration to a sociopathic murderer (see James Holmes and Nolan’s “The Dark Knight”) because it doesn’t ultimately imply goodness is unfashionable or must be compromised. Earlier in the film, Batman states to his butler Alfred, “We’re criminals,” as if there is no political alternative. But after seeing Superman sacrifice himself, Batman shares a more profound self-reflection: “We can do better. We have to.” These lines show an urgency that can be felt in all corners of Election Year 2016.
