The first three are about the destruction of father Anakin Skywalker, and the last three are the return of Luke Skywalker, and aside from the incredible feeling that the son was born 12 years earlier than his father, but from the point of view of the feeling that the film highlights , Lucas 12 years ago is more in line with a youth like Luke, and after more than 10 years wasted, the prequel has a vicissitudes of life from the beginning, maybe this is also in line with the director's desire to give everyone a sense of retrospect, after all, for The Star Wars from 1977 to 1983 was already an epoch-making myth, while the shooting from 1999 to 2005 was meant to be the end of Star Wars.
However, the 12 years of time, although the content is memories, but from the perspective of emotion and description, combined with different eras, it is not difficult to find that more than 10 years ago and more than a dozen years later, the perspective of the times has been portrayed in movies. Deeply imprinted, that folklore Star Wars continues to disintegrate under the cameras and special effects of the 21st century. Anakin is not a hero of the Republic. He is just a slave who has struggled in the wheel of fortune since he was a child, even if he becomes a Jedi. After the warrior, he still could not get rid of the shadow of this slave role. His best friend was his master, which was both acquaintance and bondage. His lover was the senator. He loved each other deeply but had the same extreme political opinions different from himself. So he Even if he smiles, there is always loneliness and sadness in his eyes, until the black metal helmet covers his only happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy. If the fuse for him to go into darkness is that he does not want to lose his wife, his reasons are also correct. It was to protect my children, and it was his complexity that made me feel the naivety of 77 years.
Yes, compared to Luke, he is much more lucky. He was not unlucky when he was a child. After he grew up, he had a sincere friend who was born to death and a teacher who became more severe due to his father’s lessons. Although the flame of hope in his heart is small, he can’t be desperate. Fight, his anger and hatred will be calmed down by the love of those around him and his persistence, so the Dark Force finally cannot seduce him, and he becomes the hope of the return of the Jedi.
Luke’s calmness and his father’s sensibility have created two legends, a dark leader and a bright new hope. This may be a confrontation between rationalism and sensibility in a disguised form. After all, empire is still a centralized power. It is an emotional consciousness, and republic and democracy need more reason to participate.
As for the good sound since its birth in 1977, after years of confrontation with Spielberg's "ET" and James Cameron's "Titanic", it will eventually become the world's most popular movie, except for its birth. The epoch-making significance of the film, compared with the mixed reputation of film reviews in 1999, do not judge heroes by success or failure, I think that the father is more like a real person, and the son, probably, is more of a god wrapped in high technology and special effects.
