Chris Reeve an inspiration - Burn of AF1
While Burn (Rueben) Thevandran of Akademi Fantasia Season 1 was only a toddler when the late Christopher Reeve acted as The Man Of Steel, he admires the American actor's courage in confronting his paralysis and promoting stem cell research for the betterment of handicapped people.
Reeve, he says, became a true Superman after he called it a day playing The Man Of Steel in four movies between 1979 and 1989. And after being paralysed in a horse-riding accident in 1995.
"Chris Reeve has come to symbolise the human spirit of survival. His tale of extraordinary courage in the face of adversity and his unwillingness to accept his paralysis as permanent are an inspiration," he said, adding that Reeve was also a champion of peace who opposed his government's invasion of other countries.
On Reeve's portrayal of Superman, Burn said that he was the definitive Superman and nobody, not even Dean Cain and Tom Welling could replace him.
Meanwhile, AF Season Two champion Zahid Baharuddin says M. Night Shyamalan is one of his favourite film makers from the United States.
"I like his suspense-filled films with brilliant plot twists. He is living proof that Asians can excel in what they do and become world class achievers," he said, adding that he enjoys watching Shyamalan's films "The Sixth Sense" and "Signs".

Chris Reeve Inspirasiku - Burn (AF1)
Burn (AF1) amat mengkagumi keberanian mendiang Christopher Reeve, pelakon siri filem Superman tahun 1980an.
Reeve yang lumpuh akibat kecederaan tulang belakang dalam satu kemalangan pada tahun 1995, aktif mengadvokasi kajian "stem cell" untuk mengubati orang yang lumpuh.
Burn menyifatkan Reeve seorang Superman sejati kerana berani menghadapi penyakitnya dan tidak mudah putus asa mencari ubat untuk memulihkan badannya serta membantu orang lain yang lumpuh.
Burn juga menghormati Reeve kerana keberaniannya memperjuangkan keamanan sejagat dan menentang peperangan yang dimulakan oleh pemimpin Amerika ke atas negara lain.
Burn berkata: "Reeve adalah satu-satunya pelakon yang berjaya menghayati watak Superman, dan Dean Cain serta Tom Welling tidak akan dapat menandingi lakonannya."
Sementara itu, Zahid (AF2) adalah seorang peminat filem M. Night Shyamalan. Antara filem Shyamalan yang disukai Zahid ialah "Signs" dan "The Sixth Sense".
"Saya sukakan filemnya yang penuh suspen dan kejutan plot. Shyamalan adalah simbol orang Asia yang berjaya dan beliau seorang role model untuk orang Asia," katanya.
