"Superman" is up there with "Wanna have a catch" for tear inducing moments...

I was about 5 when the cold war ended so "duck and cover" drills were well before my time, and I too always thought they were silly, how would a desk protect you from a nuclear bomb? But more recently I realized that sure, if you're at ground zero it won't help, but if you're some distance away the main danger might be flying glass from shattered windows and a desk actually could protect you from that. The way this movie is so grounded in the reality of such a specific time goes a long way in making it hit as hard as it does. There's a scene in the special edition with a brief flashback to the giant's origins that goes even further to sell the "you are who you choose to be" message.

Since you corrected your guess about Albert Brooks, I'm guessing you looked at the cast, but I'm wondering if you noticed who voiced the giant...
