Christopher Reeve was extremely famous because of the Superman role he acted. However, misfortune can happen to anyone, regardless of social class and other factors. As a celebrity, Mr. Reeve got injured seriously after he fell forward off the horse. The life was tough to him, but he made a great role model to fight against the paralysis and distress he suffered. I think his personality helps him a lot to cope with this trauma. The divorce and remarriage of his parents bring him step-parents and multiple homes.

The movie that I am writing this paper about it quite a common movie, and the audience usually watches it for enjoyment, but explaining this movie in the way it represents ethical theories makes you view this movie in a different way.

Power is an opportunity, tool that can be used for variety of motives. A person with superpower can turn either into a hero or a villain, it just depends on ones morals, principles and persona. In this world full of powerful people, use and misuse of power can be seen clearly. Power doesn’t changes ones ethics, it just magnifies one’s ability to achieve greatness.

Talking about the risk of an overpowered individual, Superman is one of the most powerful individual in comic universe. He has unlimited potential within him. Although he uses his power for the good sake, there is a great risk from him as he has no limits and no one can stop him.
