(ENG/SPA) Lex Luthor: The Enchantment of Gene Hackman Classic Review

lex luthor.jpg

Gene Hackman an actor with a legacy of decades, is like I would like to be, someone practical, quiet, why the attention if what I need is good food, a good wife, a good pet and a good house to live haha, many times I see how artists in which I include content creators achieve so much success at work and then be in the personal sphere drowned in depression and always lacking attention, With Gene Hackman I see nothing of the above, I see someone sure of himself that fulfills his acting work, I think it is difficult to meet someone who has not seen any of his movies of which in my case I am a fan of his villainy in several of them being the most iconic for me Superman.

Lex Luthor a character with a legacy of decades, is as I would like to be, a brilliant mind that dominates the entire spectrum of knowledge, a master in sciences such as Astronomy, Economics, Culture, History, Languages, etc. that runs his intelligence through surgically calculated plans in which everything has a reason for being and that is where the real reward, is not to achieve things to achieve them as that is boring and has nothing fun, the important thing and what generates joy is to achieve the objectives by finding and applying the why of things.

Gene Hackman un actor con legado de décadas, es como yo quisiera ser, alguien práctico, tranquilo, para que la atención si lo que necesito es buena comida, una buena esposa, una buena mascota y una buena casa para vivir jaja, muchas veces veo como artistas en lo cual incluyo creadores de contenido alcanzan tanto éxito laboral para luego estar en el ámbito personal ahogados en depresión y siempre carentes de atención, con Gene Hackman no veo nada de lo anterior, veo a alguien seguro de sí mismo que cumple su trabajo actoral, considero es difícil conocer a alguien que no haya visto alguna de sus películas de las cuales en mi caso soy fan de su villanía en variadas de ellas siendo la mas icónica para mi Superman.

Lex Luthor un personaje con legado de décadas, es como yo quisiera ser, una mente brillante que domina todo el espectro del conocimiento, un maestro en ciencias como La Astronomía, Economía, Cultura, Historia, Idiomas, etc que ejecuta su inteligencia a través de planes calculados quirúrgicamente en la que todo tiene una razón de ser y es allí donde esta la verdadera recompensa, no es lograr las cosas por lograrlas ya que eso es aburrido y no tiene nada de divertido, lo importante y lo que genera gozo es lograr los objetivos hallando y aplicando el por que de las cosas.

Gene Hackman left part of his soul in this character, just look at the miniature, that's called class, elegance, mischief mixed with evil, that's why this Lex Luthor is so beloved among Superman fans and how not to be if his performance is impeccable in all aspects that characterize the character at comic level.

I share with you a video from a verified youtube channel where you can see the combination of evil, intelligence and comedy of Lex Luthor, even after decades of having seen this movie I still laugh with the scenes of Lex Luthor that does not shine alone, his co-stars complement him, The way he walks through his library indicates the literacy of the character, a funny act by Ottis his henchman that generates a spontaneous reaction, natural in Lex Luthor that brings naturalness to the film, makes us believe that what we see are not just characters. ... makes us believe that they are real, that's how I saw it as a child and I still see it today, those who are fans will understand me.

Gene Hackman dejo parte de su alma en este personaje, solo vean la miniatura, eso se llama clase, elegancia, picardía mezclada con maldad, por algo este Lex Luthor es tan querido entre los fans de Superman y como no serlo si su actuación es impecable en todos los aspectos que caracterizan al personaje a nivel comic.

Les comparto un video de un canal verificado de youtube donde pueden ver la combinación en maldad, inteligencia y comicidad de Lex Luthor, yo aun luego de décadas de haber visto esta película sigo riéndome con las escenas de Lex Luthor que no brilla por sí solo, sus compañeros de reparto le complementan, ese modo en que se pasea por su Biblioteca indicado lo letrado del personaje, un acto gracioso por parte de Ottis su secuaz que genera una reacción espontanea, natural que le aporta naturalidad al film, nos hace creer que lo que vemos no son solo personajes.... nos hace creer que son de verdad, así lo veía de niño y aun hoy lo veo así, quienes son fans me entenderán.

In these films there comes a point where I find it hard to believe that Lex Luthor is evil when I see scenes like the ones you see in the gif, it is so golden age comic in which unreal situations dominated the vignettes but there is Gene Hackman making real the vignette of those comics of yesteryear.

Narratives have advanced a lot, everything has many details but the legendary is legendary for being eternal, this Lex Luthor has the quality of charm, to connect with the viewer with his smile and his high level of Ego.

That's why I would like to be like this Lex Luthor because his Ego is the type of Ego that I would like to have, there are different types of Egos for example the content creators are egomaniacs with their creation, extremely egomaniacs with their image and the attention of the masses whether microscopic or macroscopic, basically believe themselves the best even if they are not haha.

En estos films llega un punto en que me cuesta creer Lex Luthor sea malvado cuando veo escenas como las que ven en el gif, es tan cómic de época dorada en la que situaciones irreales dominaban las viñetas pero allí esta Gene Hackman volviendo real la viñeta de aquellos comics de antaño.

Las Narrativas han avanzado mucho, ya todo tiene muchos detalles pero lo legendario es legendario por ser eterno, este Lex Luthor tiene la cualidad del Encanto, de conectar con el espectador con su sonrisa y su elevado nivel de Ego.

Por eso quisiera ser como este Lex Luthor porque su Ego es el tipo de Ego que a mi me agradaría tener, hay distintos tipos de Egos por ejemplo los creadores de contenido son ególatras con su creación, en extremo ególatras con su imagen y la atención de las masas así sean microscópicas o macroscópicas, básicamente creerse lo mejor aunque no lo sean jaja.

So in my case I like to calculate things with precise mathematics and when people don't understand tell them how obvious it is haha and Lex Luthor is that obnoxious. When he deciphers the great weakness of the Super Hero is not only the fact of deciphering it but also how to take advantage of it, he absolutely achieves everything in his mind just like a chess player does when he gives structure from the first move to a Checkmate, then he has to explain it to the rest where despite getting angry because they do not understand his wonderful strategy at first .... you can tell he enjoys having to explain it haha, crushing with his intelligence to the rest who do not see what he is able to see.

This is a tribute to Gene Hackman and the eternal life he gave to this version of Lex Luthor, the actor basically is not handsome, does not have a physical presence of power, does not have a dominant voice but has the style, the ability to convey evil in key moments of the story, the versatility to be funny for many minutes of the film with enviable naturalness and facial expressions accompanied by a smile and ironic laughter that conquered a whole generation.

If you still don't know Gene Hackman's Lex Luthor, you can see him in Superman The Movie and Superman II, I give this version of the character 10 out of 10, he has what it takes to leave his mark on new generations, I hope you enjoy this legacy of the actor.

Entonces en mi caso me agrada calcular cosas con matemática precisa y cuando la gente no entiende decirles lo obvio que es jaja y Lex Luthor es así de odioso. Cuando el descifra la gran debilidad del Súper Héroe no es solo el hecho de descifrarla si no también el cómo aprovecharla, todo lo logra absolutamente él en su mente tal y como lo hace un jugador de ajedrez cuando da estructura desde el primer movimiento a un Jaqué Mate, luego tiene que explicarlo al resto donde a pesar de enojarse porque no le entienden su maravilla de estrategia a la primera.... se nota que lo goza al tener que explicarlo jaja, aplastar con su inteligencia al resto que no ve lo que él es capaz de visionar.

Este es un tributo a Gene Hackman y a la vida eterna que le dio a esta versión de Lex Luthor, el actor básicamente no es guapo, no tiene una presencia física de poder, no tiene una voz dominante pero tiene el estilo, la capacidad de transmitir maldad en momentos claves de la historia, la versatilidad para ser cómico durante amplios minutos del film con naturalidad envidiable y unas expresiones faciales acompañadas de una sonrisa y risa irónicas que conquisto a toda una generación.

Si aun no conoces al Lex Luthor de Gene Hackman, lo puedes ver en Superman The Movie y en Superman II, a esta versión del personaje le doy 10 chiquitos de 10, de sobra tiene lo necesario para dejar su huella en nuevas generaciones, espero disfruten de este legado del actor.

I dedicate each and every one of my posts and videos to my little dog named princess, we called her chiquito, she is no longer with us but from heaven she will see that her existence was valuable and the most beautiful thing that will exist in my heart and soul.
