‘Superman’ Director Lives Out His Dream
Bryan Singer\’s first real understanding of evil came when, as a boy of 9 or 10, he dressed up as a Nazi one day while playing a World War II game with his German neighbors in Princeton Junction, N.J. He came home wearing a swastika.
Singer\’s mother admonished him, but it wasn\’t until a few years later, when his junior high school teacher, Miss Fiscarelli, taught an entire unit in social studies on the Holocaust, that he gained a greater understanding as to why his mother had been so troubled. That class changed Singer\’s \”whole perception of what people are capable of anywhere,\” he said.
