Fantastic

This was a fantastic documentary. I was fortunate enough to see this in theaters when it was shown on Christopher Reeve's birthday.I was a little kid when the Superman movies were huge, and I was a teenager when Mr. Reeve had his accident. I remember most of what was shown in the film, as it happened, but I had not thought of it in so much detail until watching this. The documentary does and incredible job of capturing the highs and the lows of all of the events that took place during those times and after.I want to give kudos to a few things: 1) As the story is told, there is a digital statue that is occasionally displayed that resembles Mr. Reeve/Superman. This was incredibly well used, down to displaying "Kryptonite" on it in a very creative way, when he was injured. A truly unique way to display this, whoever came up with that idea, and the artists that executed it, are brilliant. 2) My God, this man's family and friends are made of something special. From his wife, to his children, to Robin Williams and his wife, to Mr. Reeve's Ex and beyond, all of them dealt with this in a way that I do not believe most people are capable of. Most of us could only hope and pray that our family and friends would be able to support us to this degree, if we found ourselves in such a terrible situation. 3) Dana Reeve was an incredible human being.I highly recommend this documentary.

I love Chris Reeve even more

I cried a lot watching this Love letter of a movie. A love story between Christopher and Dana. And the love of children for their parents. And the love of the public for a famous person. When he died in 2004, I remember being in a hotel room in Galveston Texas.It is the first time I truly cried over the death of someone I had never met. I was diagnosed with Cervical Dystonia in September of 1995, the same year as the accident that put Chris in a wheelchair. I am a scientist so I say, "our mission should not be complete until the wheelchair is obsolete." I could not believe he appeared at the Oscars so shortly after such a terrible accident. I broke down and cried. Yes, it is possible to love someone you have never met. He taught us all that we are "here for a reason!!"
