There was no sense of fun or adventure, at all, anywhere, in the entire movie. And while a darker superman is of course an option, I still don't see why he couldn't find a little joy in life. They did compare it to the Donner/Lester movies, but I felt it was more the tones they were comparing. I thought they complained about superman being too dour, like the creators were trying to turn it into batman. Much of the criticism for Singer's Superman Returns focused on the fact he was hampered by a need to continue the story within the Donner universe.Īdditionally, whilst I found the big dumb ending tiring and wearisome by the conclusion, I actually applauded the fact the film had the balls to actually kill the general populace unlike other summer blockbusters (did any humans actually die in Avengers?), although I agreed that it didn't fit with Superman's nature to just keep tearing up the city in a effort to beat Zod to death.
Third, our personal lives are also an important factor of our happiness.A lot of the complaints were that it wasn't the Donner/Lester movies' Superman, but considering the whole point of this movie was to establish an entirely new vision of Superman, it would be creatively moribund to then attempt to recreate elements from that version (especially as it would then likely be hamstrung by failing to replicate exactly the atmosphere and interplay representative of those movies). In truth, the catalyst for happiness is most likely stability and ability to financially support yourself and your loved ones could have a direct effect on your happiness. This can be seen as a possible de facto argument that money does not equal happiness. In most Western developed countries, there is a greater rate of depression and suicide that in less wealthy countries. Studies on happiness and money have shown that there is no greater range of happiness for people who have money as opposed to those who don’t, but money and wealth continue to be a perceived measurement of happiness for many people. It is difficult to make assumptions about happiness if you have never had a relative experience. Many people think personal happiness is synonymous with the success of their financial endeavors, and most people believe that they would be happier if they had more money. Second, your economic status can also be the source of happiness. This pursuit of happiness is perceived as a motivating reason to create a family one’s own. Family members in the family and this is why most people feel that if they have a strong and loving family, they have a greater opportunity to find happiness. The family is a source of happiness for many reasons, but mainly it is looked at as a source of companionship, loyalty, and stability. This is true not only for Americans but for most people, no matter what country or culture they come from. All this information is based on the Book “The pursuit of happiness” by Chris Gardner.įirst, most people believe that their happiness comes from their family. This morning I’ll share with you three reasons that make people happy and those reasons are Family, money and personal achievements. First we must be happy with the person that we are and then we can find other ways to find the happiness. Happiness comes from things, goals, family, love, God, work and the most important from us. If you ask one hundred people what it is that makes them happy, you will get one hundred different answers, and each answer is correct. The first one is what is happiness? And if we find the answer the next question is Where can I find it? or Where is? Happiness is characterized as the feeling of positive satisfaction, love, and contentment. There are a lot of question about happiness.
