With a black cloak, a black armor, and a black mask, Darth Vader took a proud step, uninterruptedly sounding suppressed and terrible breathing from the inside out. On the outside, he seemed to be a symbol of death, a cold emperor, but inside, there was a pile of rotten meat left over from the disaster and a wounded heart.
He was the chosen son of heaven, the hero who was destined to defeat the Sith and bring the balance of the force. In fact, he joined the Sith and promoted the overthrow of the Force.
If everything is destined, Darth Vader has become the first prophetic rebel. Prophecy, what exactly is a prophecy? It is a mirror that allows us to predict the end, or a trap to bewitching life. Whether the prediction will really come true, if Macbeth does not stabbing King Duncan, what chance he has to usurp the imperial power.
In fact, behind the prophecy, what really tests us is choice.
The Jedi Order, a religious bureaucracy deified. They highly admire rationality, as the dogma upholds says: No need for passion, calm mind. Don't follow the ignorance and seek the true knowledge. Although there is chaos, tranquility still exists. Nothing to die, but the force. Anakin's mother had her first son just like the Virgin Mary gave birth to Jesus, which seems to hint at the close connection between Anakin and the Jedi. On the surface, the Jedi is infinitely beautiful, as if they are messengers to maintain the light, but it is precisely because they overemphasize the lofty value of the self and elevate the divinity, which gives birth to the meaning of abstinence. Just like the devout believers in the dark Middle Ages, the Oceania that worshipped Big Brother in 1984, they all have a complete set of promotion mechanism, the most senior leader seems to stand in the clouds, leading the masses to the avenue of holiness and harmony. For the impulsive and energetic Anakin, he is born with the atmosphere of a modern social revolutionist, and his repressive nature is as dangerous as wrapping a fire in paper. Over the years, he once obeyed the orders of the Jedi Presbyterian Church to complete missions on different planets, but secretly often harbored endless distress and loneliness. He was controlled by his master Obi-Wan and could never escape from this mode. For an ancient organization, everything depends on age and experience to establish its status. No matter how strong Anakin is, he must complete this process honestly.
Until one day, he personally experienced the temptation of the Sith. Darth Sidious said to Anakin in a sarcastic tone: "Of course the Jedi will not tell you the story of the Sith." Whether it is the Jedi or the Republic, they try to hide the dark side of the Force. Anakin, like many people, only uses universal values to understand the darkness, but never really appreciates the darkness. For people like Sidious who both understand the so-called light and penetrate the darkness, he His sense of justice was faltering and vulnerable. Sith sang anger, and went to the other extreme under the explosion of nature. But for Anakin, the Sith touched him with real desires. They were not hypocritical and dogmatic like the Jedi, but seemed to advocate obedience to their own hearts. This is his "gateway to freedom." . The clown can rebel against Harvey because everyone has two seeds of good and evil in their hearts. The growth of a seed must be at the cost of suppressing the other. When Anakin vowed to his master Obi-Wan, "The Sith is not that terrible." In fact, he has chosen to water his heart with dark water. It is no longer as simple as releasing his nature. The deceptiveness of darkness lies in how absurd it is to let people see through the original world, and then fall into another abyss, sink into it, and find it hard to extricate themselves.
Anakin chose to become Darth Vader, but to break the previous shackles and create a new shackle. But the price he paid was painful, bloody and unrecoverable.
Perhaps in many people's minds, Anakin is just a naive second-year teenager, young and vigorous, but not firm enough. But he is someone who has enough courage to try to change. When we try to escape the shackles of fate, we will draw up a utopian vision, but the world has never been just a distinction between black and white, and both Anakin and Darth Vader are lost in their ideals.
The final ending is like a joke. Seeing his own flesh and blood, Luke Skywalker, was devastated by Sidious, Darth Vader felt a sting like a needle, and the weak, tightly contracted sad heart trembled violently again. Everything he had paid for political dictatorship and dark rule was overturned in an instant. He gave up his distorted ideals for love and killed Sidious himself. It was not the prophecy that changed Anakin, but Darth Vader chose the prophecy.
Everything was over, Darth Vader proved that he was not born for evil, and therefore gave his life. When all the planets are overflowing with fireworks, celebrating the demise of the dark empire, Luke sees the sad phantom of his father. From beginning to end, no one will remember what he changed, but can say clearly: He is the child in the prophecy, Anakin. And his phantom can only smile hollowly, unable to explain himself, it is the lost Darth Vader.
