Christopher Reeve talks with Charlie Rose

[UnstableCore]

Omg, I wasn't listening to a thing he said. The whole time I was trying hard to think of what it would be like if I were just a head. Knowing I had a body, what would the nothing of what you once had feel like. I bet that's what he felt like. And feeling the gone body is what complete death feels like from the neck down. Wtf.

[lonogugeadult]

I may have misunderstood but I think what Christopher Reeves was saying is that he is an atheist, however he uses the euphemism "god" meaning the morality most humans have within them selves. Just like when Einstein uses the term "god" he refers to an assumed order in the universe. Either way Christopher teaches a good lesson that morality doesn't come from a bible, and you don't an omnipotent force to tell you what's right and what's wrong.

[mythicalhell]

@lonogugeadult  maybe

[annette37a]

i'm not judging anyone, but I only wish that if one day, such thing happened to me I would dare to put an end to my life

[Hermy1138]

Even while facing the tragedy of his injury, his story didn't become one of those typical salvation stories that believers love to point out as examples that they're right. It's pathetic andyet very understandable. There are no atheists in fox-holes, they say. I understand completely. I'd probably do no better myself, but he was firm and didn't didn't cop out. It was his and only his responsibility to deal with his situation, never invoking a diety to the mix. That's the stuff of SUPERMEN

[Thejbirdy]

The ONLY Superman, new superman movies be damned.........

[clix411]

@Thejbirdy yes he is THE superman, even the old ones had no greater impact as he did, even if he made a couple shitty sequels, he was still there! I liked the new superman and how ROuth favored him to a degree, i couldnt see Routh playing as Superman, i still saw Reeve, a great man

[Thejbirdy]

@clix411 DAMN STRAIGHT CLIX!!!!! I love Christopher, a wonderful man and a great actor!! The movies may have been bad but it wasn't because of him OR Margot Kidder....the were an awesome pair together...

[cbono69]

@Habsha2008 Amen..Psalm 40...I miss my friend....Christopher Carlin...

[trufflesrheaven]

He makes sense..it's just common sense:)

[jay2268]

RIP Superman ,,, Flying High Above us in heaven 

[filmerado]

Wish the Charlie Rose people would post the original air date

[bladefd12]

"When I do good, I feel good. What I do bad, I feel bad."

I fully agree with Superman on this one. Christopher Reeve, the one and only. R.I.P. my friend.

[MrJMontrose]

One heroic man IMO. Can't help wondering If I'd have the same reserves to deal with it.

[Counterbrilliance]

I wonder if he still likes horses...

[jamesjohn666]

reeve sad :____(

[joenike55]

reeve....that was sad

[bonzot]

he played a useful version of jesus - superman.

RIP

[Kristjantheawesome]

kinda wana stop complaining about the way my life is...i mean, to respect of Chris = /

[cbono69]

Christopher was my hero and my forever...Blesssings to those who hurt tonight..Were here for you...Chris

[volt678]

all human being need to be leaded for good ! , not all of us are perfect and wise to decide if we are good or not !!

ISLAM is the best religion could lead a hole nation with different kind of thinking !

it's THE TRUTH

THERE'S NO GOD BUT ALLAH ;)

[bigceej69]

to the 7 people that didnt like this video FUCK YOU!

[martybow1]

@bigceej69 They might have found it really, really boring.

[dicktp]

RIP from Greece

Great guy

[Tobatto2287]

What does he keepe doing with his chin at certain points? He is kind of thrusting it downwards. Is it so he can take a breath or something?

[desiree01sj]

@Tobatto2287 he used to breath trough that tube

[THEFRESHISHERE]

He was on south park. rip reeve.

[PS3xGamezone]

why do such accidents happen to good people like him, how much better would of been if this had happened to bin laden or lee harvey oswald RIP

[lesrambles1]

nice wheelchair, superman.

this is what happens when you eat kryptonite.

[jotachez]

@lesrambles1 what are you? retarded dog maybe?

[AshesOfHopeJT]

he was my favororite comedeian, I like physical comedy

[AmericaAmerica69]

RIP - SUPERMAN

[mafiaboss47]

toBAD he´sDEAD

[DoNotBeHighandMighty]

Wow, I really had a deep thought about this "faith" thing today before I watched this, I tried to figure out what I "believe" in if anything. And I came out with the conclusion that I believe in "Love." And it seems that is the same conclusion that Christopher Reeves came up with too. Love=Good basically the same thing.

[kerrileewolf]

@DoNotBeHighandMighty

Yep... Love = good = GOD - I don't believe in god books i.e.bible n Koran, but this man speaks for good = speaks for God.

[winddancer1562]

Chris showed us all what it takes to be superman: dealing with the unthinkable wth grace, dignity, and humility. RIP.

[hot1cold0]

U guys

[paramorelavigne1]

the south park episode that makes fun of him is amazing hahahaha

[BSFBOPE]

poor guy...he had it all looks, charm, class. and a fun actor to watch on screen, how sad to see him reduced to this for the last years of his all too short life. sad...

[kyleshaks]

@LonerSoldierWolf

dude you really are an asshole, how can you say such horrible things, Reeve was my childhood hero when I was a kid, I watched all of his superman movies, he truly was the best and no one else could ever replace him as hero, R.I.P Christoper,

[IWannabeJew]

Just seems like some kind of morality-play, how our DemiGod ("Superman") was laid low.

A shame we had to be deprived of him so soon.

[Rain3952]

I think what happened to this poor man who was trapped in his own body is awful.Dr. Kilvorkian where are you.A mercy killing is in order here.From Superman,reduced to this! Damn.Atleast he is free from physical restraints now.

[TomatoNanny]

I'm not just saying this for the sake of it, but Chris Reeve was and is a role model. Full of integrity even after his accident, Reeve gave interviews and countless appearances in public that not only showed his perseverence but his ability to be able to hold an intelligent conversation on things as varied as religion. So many victims consider euthanasia and whilst I fully understand why, Chris' decision to go on for the interests of those around him exemplifies him as an inspiration to anyone.

[Richdude1983]

It is true what he says, it sounds simple, but we do know all within ourselves what is good and what is bad. Many choose to ignore it. The concept of this can even be displayed by some of the comments written here...

[greenleaflink]

Not to make a mockery of him or anything, but he believes in god but not any specific church denomination?

[mbensen]

nobody needs a church to believe in god.

[oceane2121]

il etai manifique dans tout c filme

[Forevermoonlight13]

i freakin love christopher reeves <3

[Hothschild]

Shut up! You are mean. Very nasty of you, so unkind.... If you don't have respect for the deads, principally a man like this one, so you won't have respect for anyone else, so you don't deserves respect in return, so go to learn good manners and Get a life.

[jeffers1975]

@LonerSoldierWolf typical retarded answer... pathetic

[LonerSoldierWolf]

That's the other way round. When cunts like you got nothing, they say that shit. Be sure to wipe Reeve's ass in hell when you join him.

[jeffers1975]

so sad, pity you cant find any other way to amuse yourself than to make fun of the afflicted... i pity you.

[LonerSoldierWolf]

Now this is the part where you find me the one who started this but really you jumped in. Pity yourself because you called on me. You're the one who has no life, I write a comment and you thought hmm my life sucks so bad, I think I will start with this guy

[dodiddone89]

@LonerSoldierWolf hctib a era ris uoY

[LonerSoldierWolf]

@dodiddone89 English dude. English.

[dodiddone89]

@LonerSoldierWolf I was I was using a program that made my text backwards bitch

[TheTrystar]

Is there any link between:'

1. Titanic - Where people thought they could build a ship that God himself could not even sink?

2. Steve Irwin - Who thought that he could show the world that he had mother nature in his grasp?

3. Christopher Reeve - A man that was chosen to become a humanbeing with supernatural power, to let the world worship him as the Superman?

Weird how we all think we can do all that, but eachtime we get reminded off how fragile we really are...(xuse my bad eng.)

[fallenone202]

@TheTrystar

1. Titanic -Hit iceberg

2. Steve Irwin - Stung by Stingray

3. Chris Reeve - Fell off horse.

Three freak & unrelated tragedies. However, I understand how confirmation bias can link them, and that being the case, why stop there?

4. 9/11 victims - Living their lives, killed by zealots

5. Columbine Students - Living their lives, killed by deranged kids

6. Martin Luther King - Civil rights leader, killed by assassin.

7. John and Robert Kennedy - Politicians, killed by assassins

[CobraG2]

lol retards...have no respect for someone who is 'Super' than you guys lol, piss myself laughing all the way!!!!!!

[LonerSoldierWolf]

IsaacOfThaBurbs is right! Let Loner do his thing and that's pisssing all you guys off!

[IsaacOfThaBurbs]

you all need to chill the fuck out. are you dipshits 5? let Loner do his thing and just relax. hes probably just jokin around. stop being such faggot-fucks about it. dont judge unless you wanna be judged. got it bitches?

[gordiam]

oh god he was the shadow of the man he used to be :(

[Xienis]

I think its quite the opposite, Mr.Reeve had truly become "Superman" after that accident, only then did he show to the world the kind of man he is and the will power he has to go on.

The Christopher Reeve before the accidents is a mere grain of sand compared to the motivating, inspirational and powerful man he has become after the injury.

Thats my opinion;)

And now in death he is among legends and will go down in history.

Feel proud of him and honor him, dont be sad for him.

[hayzerqb11]

and then Batman would kick your ass LonerSoldierWolf

[LovelyPennyLane]

Chris you are amazing, i love you and rip superman xoxoxoxox

[christoph4000]

LonerSoldierWolf, what you are writing just simply shows how much of a idiot you are. Chris Reeves was a legend, and put up with alot in his life, although you are entitled to your opinion this opinion should be kept to yourself as it is insulting and disgusting.

[LonerSoldierWolf]

that's your crappy ass opinion

[LonerSoldierWolf]

@christoph4000 Bitch.

[DAEL105]

[lacier2834]

lonersoldierwolf..go to hell u bastard

[pixydust1608]

He truly was an amazing guy, he will always be superman in my eyes ! :) x

[007rocksalotmann]

Even in that condition, you can still see that he used to be a extremely handsome man.

Thanks for the memories, Superman

[senilbud]

I never believed in superman but after the accident yes he was superman, thanks for your example Reeve

[SwampThing429]

Yup. The human race has really come a long way.

[LonerSoldierWolf]

Christopher REEVE CANT EVEN WIPE HIS OWN ASS!

[LonerSoldierWolf]

SUCK A DICK

[a4d2d0]

lmfao, have any of you heard eminem's song medicine ball? hilarious, check it out

[BazzaSAS]

Its not hilarious its disrespectful and he should have gone to court or something for it

[LonerSoldierWolf]

You should go to bitch court!

[hjerry69]

so sad what happened to this great actor...!!!!

[mindylinky]

raydistillian, what is your problem

[zooeyhall]

I remember watching the first Superman in the theatres back in 1978. So tragic what happened to Chris.

[Capt777harris]

Fuck you, you sack of shit. Go bang your favorite sheep you little shit.

[jovifreake81]

williamkat, why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own?

[williamkatt81]

Loner.. You are one sick basterd... Someone out to kill you... I am glad that god took your family from you so that they didn't have to see what a dumbass you have become... Chris reeve did a lot with his life... You though are a lazy jackass that needs stoned and run though with a sword.....

[DanyAgo1]

Thank you Chris for those words. They are so precious! We just have to learn from who was able to transform a tragedy in a spiritual path!

[ahotcouple111]

What an amazing, graceful man... such an immense loss.

[gerbinz]

he dint want to mention the truth he really doesnt believe in anything not just a hero a real smart one

[retrogirl19]

it's really sad how he had to keep pausing to breathe trhough his neck. sigh.

[kfag101]

Chris Reeve is my hero!!

[kbbcoop]

that pause he has to do when talking is really annoying. just talk moron.

[Rosetree87]

omfg o_O

[gabrielfrancois]

That move he does with his chin and neck in each PAUSE is what stimulates his respiratory system and allows him to BREATH you dumbass !!!

[global2012]

Thats just cold .............you prick.

[quidproquo2004]

SHUT UP TROLL!

[latinahoney123]

how horrible to go through something like that cant even imagine hope your in no more pain now R.I.P can you even imagine not being able to move your arms to walk to have to depend on everyone else to do everything for you, you cant do anything you used to be able to do how awful

[manos23j]

SUPERMAN

[solidysnake1]

I agree with Christopher Reeve. As a child I was really frightened by God too. The burning hell and apocalypse was really scary.(still scary)

[LonerSoldierWolf]

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

[LonerSoldierWolf]

It was a month ago and I find everyones pain funny but my own. I make fun of people that die as long as it dosen't happen to me.

[NeonboiiZ]

you dont think about anyone other than yourself. you're a heartless bastard.

[LonerSoldierWolf]

Actually I wasn't always like that. I had lost my family in a car accident and now I'm alone HA HA HA HA that's ridiculous! But that's not the funny part, yuou trying to make me feel bad for my actionss, that is the funny part. YOU SUCK REEVE!

[MIKE1238673]

Don't judge unless you are prepared to be judged, I feel compassion for the man in spite of his misgivings. Even if he meant what he said he deserves relentless kindness, for he knows not what he does.

[MIKE1238673]

Oh dear, I feel sad on your behalf. Compassion is the answer. We all have moments, sometimes prolonged moments, where we feel wronged, cheated, hurt, angry, worried etc. But those are all emotions which hurt us even more! As hard as it is, try to be kind. Try to forgive and to love. It is not easy - I know. And I have lost very similar things to you from what you say. But self-destruction through the destruction of others is not the answer, tempting though it may be. God bless my friend.

[LonerSoldierWolf]

HA HA HA AHHA HAHAH AHAA HA AH. this is why I do it!

[gipytoiii]

your gonna go to hell you sack of shit

[LonerSoldierWolf]

Oh please don't call me names, you'll make me cry. Your coming with me with that smart mouth cunt

[knoxvilleguy2]

Christopher Reeve would've been MISERABLE as a Lutheran. They don't believe in anything that's not EXPLICITLY mentioned in the Bible. No questions, nothing. " Everything will be answered in Heaven ". My pastor's a nice guy, a great man, but put him in the sanctuary & he's an automaton. I ention this, because after CR's accident, he began to examine faith & spirituality more closely.

[quidproquo2004]

Good thing it's all fiction.

[irinadz]

You are a disgrace

[LonerSoldierWolf]

What are you an old woman? You actually kiss a dead guy's ass. Even if he was alive, you couldn't kiss it becuase he can't walk! LOL

[xviiimoonshine]

i love christopher reeve <3 relax in heaven superman!

[PoeticJustice05]

He'll always be Superman.

[portalplaza]

good boy

[C06coolvette]

You stupid fuck, Get that shit out of here.

Christopher Reeves, one and only Superman.

[mightydistinguished]

lol. Nope, I still believe there's a rift between them

[WhenLilacsLast]

Totally agree with his views. Religion is an unnecessary device that can readily toted by demagogues for their own political ambitions. We are ethical by the standards of the moral zeitgeist

[bzylizzy]

chris reeve in my opinion was amazing, I have read his book and he was a true inspiration....

[Awezumi]

Eminem has disappointed me, he says he has nothing against the people he disses it's just because it's rhymes.

Nothing about Christoper Reeves rhymes in the song.

It is 2009 isn't it? We know religion was just a device used to help people in ancient times, we know better now. Why is this even discussed anymore?

[lilkidmon]

umm no religion isnt a device, its a point of view

[Criticmizer]

greenemerald1...you're retarded...religion will always be around...and it's not a device...it's truth.

[lolshitty]

Critic - You are religous and and calling others retarded, how ironic. Another poor human brainwashed by the church. Good luck in life with that attitude.

[Criticmizer]

brainwashed by the church? Good luck in life? I don't need luck. I have Jesus! and it's okay if you don't believe,it's not your fault. God must choose you to come to Him. i guess He didn't choose you...too bad for you. don't believe me? read "John 6:43 thru 47.

[Abrahamlol]

you and your beliefs are full of shit.

the bible should have a disclaimer infront.

Something like : WARNING this book might be taken literally by some and may cause them to really believe in impossible shit and bullshit miracles. Please dont let retards read this and if they do, avoid all interactions with them and kill them.

[Criticmizer]

you're going to hell.

[Abrahamlol]

sais who?!?

YOUR god!?

maybe you are in danger of going to hell, but since i dont believe in fairy tales im not in danger of that bullshit.

Hi. You know? I need this conversation in text. Can you help me? Please.

[7geradri]

Please I need this conversation in text because i am making a job for the university. Can you help me? Thanks

[Abrahamlol]

what conversation?

ours? You'll get an F.

[7geradri]

The conversation between christopher reeve and charlie rose. I don't understand that language very good. and i need make a work for the university. Please can you help me?. If you write that conversation i can translate to spanish it.. thnaks.

[Abrahamlol]

esta hablando de religion y fe.

un pedazo como al final va:

reeve dice queen 1995 el decia que no sabia en que creer. y luego encontro un dicho de Abraham Lincon que decia " cuando hago el bien, me siento bien, y cuado ago mal me siento mal, y eso es mi religion" y dice que hizo que viera las cosas diferente.

y no mams, ke hueva traducir todo el pedo palabra por palabra.
