The film includes family home videos, mixed with interviews and movie clips of Reeve, who famously played Superman in four films, in addition to other acting and directing roles later in his career. Reeve’s three children, Matthew, Alexandra and Will Reeve, say there were no restrictions on topics or video used in their father’s story.“He wouldn’t have wanted to be viewed through rose-colored glasses.
Reeve had recorded audio of his memoir before he died in 2005, so his narration is used in parts, adding to the film's intimacy. The actor became a father to Matthew and Alexandra with his first partner, Gae Exton, and the family was living in the U.K. before Reeve decided he needed a break and moved back to the U.S. alone.
“There’s a scenario in which things could have turned out differently,” Will Reeve said. “But because of the values instilled in us by our parents, because of the way that they let us into their lives, the good and the bad, the joyous and the tragic … that prepared us for life’s difficulties and life’s joys.”
“To see those elements of his character that stayed constant throughout his life: the commitment, the intensity, the passion, the strength,“ she said. “Those things changed after the accident and manifested in new ways. That strength suddenly meant something totally different. It was a strength to get up every day.”
