    In the gym scene - Clark is signaling back pain and removes himself from the screen to the hurt in his back.
    Chilling prophecy.
    Along with leading character all 3 having tragic end.

      That's nothing.
      His last movie he was did, before the dumb ****er, was rightfully thrown off a horse (Yay! Horses are not meant for humans.) was where he played it in a wheelchair in Above Suspicion.

        Jesus… you are right!
        On May 27, 1995, 6 days after the film's release, Reeve himself was paralyzed from the shoulders down after suffering a spinal cord injury in a horse riding accident.
        Synchronicity.

          I don't really see it as prophetic. A hurt back isn't the same as a broken neck.

            Still, the Jung synchronicity is there, you can't deny it.

              It's a bit of a stretch. For the most part, it just doesn't line up enough to be prophetic or Jungian. After all, Clark wasn't even really hurt in that scene. It was just a fake out.

                Jung synchronicity has nothing to do with prophecy - but how life is full of strange and weird coincidences. Which accumulate as we grow older and then it becomes a question related to the meaning of life.

                  I don't feel it applies here in this movie with Christopher Reeve. Or with the Superman franchise as a whole.

                    We need to be flexible in life.
                    Rigid mindset is a sign of mental illness.

                      I agree with the first sentence but not the second: a rigid mindset
                      may
                      be a sign of mental illness.

                              sometimes I can predict the future - not because I have some special supernatural powers - but because I connect the past facts and use past as the future prediction.

                                I remember now.
                                The third one I was referring to was the early deaths of George Reeves (TV's Superman)!

                                George Reeves was an American actor. He was best known for portraying Clark Kent/Superman in the television series Adventures of Superman. His death by gunshot at age 45 remains controversial. The official finding was suicide, but some believe that he was murdered or the victim of an accidental shooting. Wikipedia
                                Born: January 5, 1914, Woolstock, Iowa, United States
                                Died: June 16, 1959 (age 45 years), Benedict Canyon, Los Angeles, California, United States

                                  Do you think Keanu would have done well in the role of Superman? I would have chosen him over Nic Cage.
                                  While Keanu Reeves was never officially cast as Superman, there was fan and critical discussion about him potentially playing the role, particularly after the success of Christopher Reeve's portrayal. Some felt he would have been a good fit, drawing comparisons to Reeve's performance and noting Reeves's "lovable quality" on Reddit. However, no official casting decisions were ever made for Reeves to play Superman.

                                    I think Keanu got to play an even cooler version of superman as Neo in The Matrix. He totally nailed it.

                                      I think Keanu's life might have ended sooner due to the curse if he played the role. In the 90s tho there was no demand for a new Superman movie. Did you see the photo of Nic Cage in the costume?? 🤣😂
