  The Thin Red Line 1998

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 01 Jul 2012 61

  
  I heard people talk about immortality,
  but I ain't seen it.
  l wondered how it'd be when l died.
  What it'd be like to know that this breath now
  was the last one you was ever gonna draw.

  Man of Steel 2013

  ★★ Watched 25 Jul 2014 101

  There is a scene in Man of Steel that says it all.

  In the middle of a showdown with the bad guys in downtown Metropolis with people everywhere, a flaming truck or some other huge thing is thrown towards Superman who is standing in front of a building. A building presumably filled with people.

  Superman jumps out of the way.
  He jumps out of the way.
  Superman.
