Jesse Eisenberg – rocking the boat again

“Now people expect the tone to be more realistic just because we live in a world where the average audience member has a sense of psychological motivations… [it raises the question] how can one man – Superman – have so much power? These are the kind of things that we talk about when we think about authoritarian states, when we talk about Vladimir Putin having a strong foothold in Eastern Europe.  They’re addressing geopolitics in this movie and not in a way that’s pretentious or esoteric. Chris Terrio cleverly ties in these really exciting superhero elements with these really sophisticated, philosophical themes in a much smarter, different way. That’s what I like to do with my writing: to have these very sophisticated debates happen on very basic levels.” (via Comic Book Movie)

Whoa!
