There were Snyder fans who complained "Why didn't Clark take pa to the Hospital? He out ran a train earlier" First of all there were many different ways Snyder's Superman could have potentially saved his Father from the tornado. Second this Pa Kent had a weak heart/ heart disease. He was probably dead before he hit the ground.

As much as I enjoyed the series Smallville, one problem with it I always had was that, being filmed around Vancouver, Smallville and its environs looked nothing like Kansas. Interestingly, these scenes were filmed in Canada as well, but in Alberta, which is on the northern end of the same great plains that Kansas is in also, so it looks correct.

Simple is better. Less is more. Donner understood. Compare this with so many modern movies trying to do emotional death scenes and it's really a joke. All filmed on location, three great actors. The way Donner films it also adds weight. He gives us nothing. When Clark gets to him all we see is a super wide shot and we understand its inevitability. There's no dramatic exit. No miracle. Just a simple loss we all have to deal with as human beings, and not even a Superman is exempt from that.
