This is a joke right? April Fools? Well this movie is a joke. (Budum tsss). Seriously though this is a pretty bad movie. It takes itself too seriously, the title fight is pretty boring, the plot puts me to sleep, and it's too concerned with setting up the Justice League. However, today is Easter Sunday and this film makes me think about the greatness of Easter. How? Well to me, it's pretty obvious. This movie (spoilers) is about the death of Superman. Clearly Superman is made out to be a Christ-like figure. The parallels are everywhere! God comes to earth as a baby, Jesus. Superman, who has god-like abilities, comes to earth as a baby. Jesus grows up to be someone people gravitate towards. A week before He is crucified, people are praising Him and calling Him the Messiah. Superman is loved by people because he saves them and is called a hero. Jesus is all of the sudden turned on and the people want nothing to do with Him. Superman is turned on by the world and they no longer want him saving them. Then they both die a sacrificial death. And there's more parallels than that, those are just the basics. But then the parallels end. Superman is brought back to life by his friends so he can save the world. He couldn't do it by himself. Jesus on the other hand, was raised from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit. The God, three in One, raised Himself from the grave. This is why we celebrate Easter. Jesus died on the cross to save us from our sins, to save us from Hell, then rose up from the grave to give us hope and His Holy Spirit, so that we may live like and with Him. Amen. Happy Easter! Also please don't watch this movie... Check back later this week as I continue my Les Mis series. And subscribe below for updates!
