A film that I like: Star Wars


Hello everyone!! For post 8 I have to talk about a film, and this is an evaluated post so I will do my best!
Well, the film I chose was STAR WARS, all the sage (the six movies). Since the day I saw it, I loved it.
It’s not a film that have a lot of contain, it’ s not so deep, and the three first ones were of low budget, but I like the storyline, the war between the dark and the light side of the “force” and how the main character has to struggle with his own inclination for the dark side to not go through the same path as his father who was seduced by the dark side and became a evil man (Darth Vader), but in the end he had redemption. I like the battles with light sabers (in the first movie, the special effects were very bad) too. But in the last three I think the director use too much special effects by computer.
The storyline starts with this famous phrase: A long time ago in galaxy far far away…
Like the phrase say, the film is set in another galaxy, where live a civilization more advanced than ours, and one of the most important components of life is The Force and the people who have a strong presence of the force in them, can become a Jedi, a Jedi is a knight who can control the force and use it, the Jedi knights are the guardians of the Republic, and preserve the peace in the galaxy, they are good people with noble intentions.
One of the Jedi, Qui Gonn, finds a kid who has a very strong presence of the force and he suspects he may be the Chosen One who will bring balance to the Force. This kid is Anakin Skywalker, and he is a slave of Tatooine planet, thanks to some circumstances, Anakin is released and starts his path to become a Jedi, trained by Obi Wan Kenoby ; and the Sith Lords (jedis who use the dark side of the force, people full of hate and anger) reappeared to destroy the Republic and bring darkness to the universe . By the time Anakin is a Padawan (an apprentice of Jedi) he falls in love of Padme, a senator who in the past was Queen of the Naboo planet, and they married, but Anakin have a dream were Padme dies, in his try to avoid that, he is seduced by the dark side of the force, and he become evil man, full of anger, and he fight with his own mentor, Obi Wan Kenobi ; he loses, and becomes Darth Vader, but he can avoid the death of Padme when she was having two babies (the sons of Anakin): Luke and Leia.
When Luke grows up, it’s trained by Obi Wan Quenobi to become a Jedi (the sith lords exterminate them, destroy the republic and establish an Empire) and fight with the resistance against the empire. In the end, Luke has to fight with his own father to eliminate the Emperor (an awful man), Dark Vader, when see his son suffering in hands of Emperor, he become good and eliminate him. In the end, he dies like a Jedi, and the Republic is established again.
Well, the director is great, George Lucas made a excellent job, and the actors too, but a lot o people think that the last three movies were worse than the first three, I don’t care what others say, I like it.
The music is incredible, I love it, I have it in my cell phone as my ringtone.
This is all for today, see you next time.

  1. An excellent choice if you allow to say... but i'm not agree when you say that it's a film without a deep content... why? because for the constuction of the whole saga Lucas researches and investigates a lot in a lot of matters like mithology, japanese films, japanese history, semiotics, old fashion tv series etc... so he created a whole saga in which it's posible to recognize the archetypic mith of "Hero's Journey" in every stage of it... rise... fall... redemption etc because star wars is all abaout Anakin... so you can see how anakin travels along the 6 movies and the whole material of the "canonic universe" of star wars through light and dark sizes of The Force... and that doesn't include the "expanded universe"... but that is another tale XD.

    Anyway... Star Wars was inspired by a lot of things (one of them you can find it in my post... yeah, Kurosawa)and if you watch carefully and seriously you can realize that is deeper than the common people says.
