Storyline:Plot SynopsisThe film opens, with one of its few color scenes, with a closeup of a hand lighting votive candles with a match in a pre-war Polish Jewish family's home on a Friday night Sabbath.[Later, Michael violently beats up guards in a judge's chambers to prove the point.] The famed lawyer Bannister ("he'll get you out of anything") offers to hire the unemployed, "able-bodied" sailor as a deckhand on his cruise yacht bound on a pleasure cruise for the West Coast and San Francisco (via the Panama Canal and Mexico).Debris from crumbling skyscrapers narrowly missed his vehicle.After stopping and running toward the Wayne Financial Building, he saw General Zod's huge starship theBlack Zeropositioned above Metropolis' center as it attempted to terraform the Earth and recreate it as a new planet, to resemble the old planet of Krypton.It's not good for ya.Cold all the time.Can't breathe air.Let's get out, Son.Cody: I'm all right now.Ma: Is it going?Cody: Yeah.Ma: Are you sure?Cody: Yeah....it's like having a red hot buzz-saw inside my head.Ma: (Cody attempts to leave the room) No, not yet, Son.Don't let 'em see you like that.Might give some of 'em ideas.Cody (He sits down in his mother's lap.) You're always thinkin' about your Cody, aren't ya?Ma: That's right.(She rises and pours him a drink of whiskey.) Top of the world, Son.Cody: Don't know what I'd do without ya, Ma.(He downs the drink.)Ma: Better?Cody: Oh yeah.Ma: Now go on out.Show 'em you're all right.His Ma functions as his mentor and advisor, and encourages her son to forcefully regain his confidence and appear as normal again.[Note: Mirroring and double images are rampant in the film: Danny/Tony, the sane vs.insane Jack, Jack/Grady, the two girls in the corridor, the woman/hag in Room 237, etc.] After flying by a small sliver of an island (with a few trees) in the lake's center, the shot dissolves from the lake o a God's-eye, aerial view of a two-lane mountainous road far below, winding through sun-drenched tall pines in the early morning.
