Listened to the Superman (2025) soundtrack and it is amazing, clearly. What a cracking job David Flemming did.
And I noticed something
The first half of the soundtrack, there's echoes of the Superman theme. There's hints here, bars there. But never the full theme. It's nearly there in The River Pi.
But we don't get the full bodied, complete SUPERMAN theme until when? The dust scene. The kids raising the flag. Which is why those scenes go so fucking HARD. Everything about the movie, from the dialogue to the themes to the music itself is telling us 'now. Now he's Superman.'
What an excellent way to reflect the way Clark is growing through this movie.
Like he might be out in the world as Superman, but he's not Superman yet. Not as we know him to be. Not until the end of the movie.
I love this movie.
