The film depicts the origin of\nSuperman\, from infancy as Kal-El of Krypton and growing up in\nSmallville. Superman is divided into three basic sections\, each\nhaving a distinct theme and visual style. The first segment\, set on\nKrypton\, is meant to be typical of science fiction fil ms\, the\nsecond segment\, set in Smallville\, is reminiscent of 1950s fil ms\,\nand its small-town atmosphere is meant to evoke a Norman Rockwell\np ainting. The third (and largest) segment was an attempt to present\nthe su perhero story with as much realism as possible\, relying on\ntraditional c inematic drama and using only subtle humor instead of\na campy approach. S uperman was released with critical acclaim and\nfinancial success. It was nominated for three Academy Awards\n(Editing\, Music (Original Score) and Sound  and received a\nSpecial Achievement Award for its visual effects. T he film's legacy\nhelped to foster the establishment of the superhero film genre.\nSuperman is a wondrous combination of all the old-fashioned thing s\nwe never really get tired of: adventure and romance\, heroes and\nvilla ins\, earthshaking special effects and wit.\n\nAlyson Fournier\, Associate Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery\,\nÂé¶¹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾\, Brain Tumo ur Research Centre\, Montreal\nNeurological Institute and Hospital will be our host for this\nfilm.  Dr. Fournier’s research program at the Fournier Lab\n(The Neuro) focuses on the molecular and cellular biology of\nneurit e outgrowth and growth cone guidance.
