Anne FisherMuch of the <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Superman?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Superman</a> movie <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ManOfSteel?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ManOfSteel</a> was filmed near me, when the small town of <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Plano?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plano</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Illinois?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Illinois</a> was remade to become <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Smallville?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Smallville</a> . This window at the Plano Methodist Church was used in the scene where <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ClarkKent?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClarkKent</a> ( <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/HenryCavill?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HenryCavill</a> ) is talking to a preacher about sacrificing himself in order to save the world from Zod. <br> <br> This <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/StainedGlass?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StainedGlass</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/window?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#window</a> was used as background symbolism in that scene, because it depicts Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, before sacrificing himself on the cross for all mankind (Matthew 26:36-46).<br> <br> Every year, the town of Plano hosts a Superman Celebration, and visitors can see some of the places where scenes were filmed. I was also fortunate enough to visit when the set was days away from production, and see everything that had been done to the town in preparation. (I will post those images sometime later.)<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/MovieSets?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MovieSets</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/WhereItWasFilmed?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WhereItWasFilmed</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/StainedGlassWindows?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StainedGlassWindows</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ChurchWindows?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChurchWindows</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Churches?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Churches</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/BibleStories?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BibleStories</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/BibleArt?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BibleArt</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SupermanMovie?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SupermanMovie</a>
AnneTheWriter<p>This past <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/4thOfJuly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>4thOfJuly</span></a>, I was driving around various farm roads, looking for sanctuary for my dog from the terrifying fireworks. We came across two <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/churches" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>churches</span></a>, both seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Both offered a chance for her to walk around for a bit and get a drink of water, during the almost five hours we were out that night. </p><p>One of them was Plattville <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/MethodistChurch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MethodistChurch</span></a> in <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Yorkville" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Yorkville</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Illinois" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Illinois</span></a>.
