"Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones" film review

The Star Wars Prequel series is not only a political situation in which the empire replaces the Republic step by step, but also a bumpy life journey of Anakin Skywalker's step-by-step growth and transformation. In this "Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones", ten years have passed since the Battle of Naboo in the first part of the prequel. On the one hand, the undercurrents of the empire are surging and become stronger and stronger; On the one hand, Anakin has followed Obi-Wan for more than ten years and is now a vigorous, handsome boy.

Ten years ago, Obi-Wan was a young Jedi apprentice at the Battle of Naboo, who was obedient, calm and calm. Today, Obi-Wan is a more mature and stable Jedi master than ten years ago. The bearded Obi-Wan often reminds me of his master Kui Gang Jin, but he is more stable than his master, and he lacks the stubbornness and perseverance of Kui Gang Jin, but he has more mature charm. . Nevertheless, as a young Skywalker's master, he is a good teacher, and he has been bothered with Anakin and tried his best to train him. I think he believes in Anna like his master, Kuigang King. Jin will far surpass him or even Master Yoda, believing that Anakin is the chosen son who brings balance to the Force.

Obi-Wan

The mentor-disciple relationship between Obi-Wan and Anakin and the mentor-discipline relationship between Kuigang King and Obi-Wan gave me two completely different feelings. The relationship between Kui Gang King and Obi-Wan is the relationship between teachers and students in the traditional sense. They are mentors and helpful friends who respect each other. At the same time, the elder and inferiority between them is very clear, Kui Gang. As a master, Obi-Wan is a good example of others, and Obi-Wan is more obedient to the teacher; on the other hand, the relationship between Obi-Wan and Anakin is more like a pair of brothers, even though Obi-Wan is Anakin. Master, but like Master Yoda’s prediction of Anakin’s future, Anakin is not controllable to Obi-Wan. There are differences, arguments, and potential contradictions between them. Unlike the previous masters and apprentices between Kuigang King and Obi-Wan, although Obi-Wan is a master, he and Anakin do not have the feeling of dignity and inferiority between him and Anakin, giving people a more "equal". This also indicates that Anakin's future will be uncontrollable.

What Anakin wants me to say at this stage, I can only say that he is a rebellious good boy. He has deep emotions and has been deeply affected by these emotions, but he still tells himself what is right from the heart. , To be precise, he slowly wandered between light and darkness. In the past ten years, Anakin has mastered the Force. Although he is only an apprentice around Obi-Wan, he is no worse than Obi-Wan in terms of Force. In the past ten years, Anakin has been the most concerned about him. The one who worried the most was still his mother who was a slave in Tatooine; ten years later, Anakin still couldn’t forget the Amidala Queen Padmé who made him fall in love with him at first sight. My sweetheart. The dogma of the Jedi Order is rigid, but people are alive. When the energetic Anakin is full of enthusiasm, facing the Jedi Order, which has always adhered to the rules, it will inevitably give him an emotional impact. In this film, I I think the most exciting thing lies in the portrayal of Anakin’s emotions. Every eruption of Anakin’s emotions makes him break the Jedi dogma unconsciously and move closer to the Sith, but because the Jedi dogma has also been affected. For more than ten years, he always reminded himself from the depths of his heart to stay calm as much as possible.

Anakin

Anakin and Obi-Wan began to quarrel when protecting Padmé. Obi-Wan thought it was enough to guard against the dead, while Anakin insisted on catching the person who assassinated Padmé. In the course of the mission, Anakin also showed a willful side and dissatisfaction with Obi-Wan in many places, but at this time his dissatisfaction with Obi-Wan was only slightly revealed. Later, Anakin and Obi-Wan’s master and disciple acted separately. Obi-Wan was responsible for tracking down the assassins, while Anakin was responsible for protecting Padmé. After leaving the master’s constraints, Anakin’s feelings and feelings towards Padmé were His mother's thoughts were further vented, which to a certain extent caused him to gradually wander towards the edge of darkness. He and Padmé fell in love but couldn't be together because of identity issues. After all the hardships, he finally found the mother who cared about day and night, but faced with the determination of life and death.

Anakin and Padmé

His mother’s death was a huge blow to him. Since he was taken away by Kui Gang Jin ten years ago, he has been thinking of his mother all the time. He was dazzled by hatred and angry. Dominated by emotions, he slaughtered all the Tuskens, including the women and children. At this time, he had violated the Jedi doctrine, and his dark side had begun to slowly awaken. In the end, he held a secret meeting with Padmé. The wedding was once again contrary to the Jedi doctrine. Being a Jedi Knight is not allowed to have emotions, and many places in the film are also very obvious to make us feel the emotional fluctuations of Anakin and most of them are still bad emotions. He also resents Obi-Wan for limiting his Growing up, thinking that Obi-Wan was jealous of him, and the death of his mother further increased his dissatisfaction with Obi-Wan. Although Anakin's current state is so bad, Anakin still stands in the Jedi from the bottom of his heart, and is the little boy with justice in his heart.

Padmé is no longer the queen of Naboo, at this time she is the more important Republican Senator. Ten years ago, Anakin fell in love with Padmé at first sight. Ten years later, the two met again. They were still so reluctant to give up to each other. The love between the two is so enviable, but at the same time, the two There are too many regrets. As a Jedi Knight, Anakin will never allow any lust, let alone fall in love. On the other hand, the situation in the galaxy is severe. As a senator, Padmé must also take her son The people are first. Not to love, how painful it is, especially when Anakin and Padmé fall in love but can’t be together, and even more so, until the two are sent to the execution ground on the planet Geonosis, are they willing to let go of everything. , Kiss affectionately. At the end of the film, the wedding of Naboo star Anakin and Padmé was secretly held. Only R2 and 3PO have witnessed the eternal moment. The two of them are still together after all. I don’t know if I should be sentimental for them from my heart. People feel fortunate that they are married, or they are worried about being together with two people who cannot be together.

I have to say that Palpatine is a political master. On the surface, he is the Prime Minister of the Republic, but he is the Sith Lord Darth Sidious. In the past, the trade union that was supported by himself was torn apart in order to be able to further promote his public identity as a member of the Republic to the prime minister of the Republic; this time he let his apprentice Count Dooku form an independent federation to stir up trouble, and he paid so much. The big price is to enable the identity of the Prime Minister of the Republic to start the clone army and gain command. If I hadn’t learned about the plot of the Star Wars series in advance, I would never have thought that Palpatine was the Sith Lord Darth Sidious behind Darth Moore in "Star Wars Episode 1". Here According to Count Dooku, the dark forces have gradually infiltrated the Republic and he took the Death Star design to escape to the Prime Minister Coruscant of the Republic and the Lord Sith. If I don’t know the plot, I might just There will be doubts about Palpatine’s true identity. If the last part of the film is excluded, it will give people a feeling that Earl Dooku is the Lord of the Sith. The king of Pa is a big game of chess. He is a real cow. Bye.

Anakin lost an arm in the duel with Dooku. If you look at the order of the Star Wars storyline, this is the first severed hand in the famous scene of the Star Wars series; severed hand in Anakin After that, Master Yoda rushed to a lightsaber duel with Dooku. This was also the first time Master Yoda, who had always been unfathomable, took the first shot. For the first batch of Star Wars fans in the 70s, they had been waiting for 25 years.

Army of clones

In this step, the three-year Clone Wars in the history of Star Wars kicked off. We also envy the love between Anakin and Padmé across the galaxy, and we also deeply sympathize with Anakin’s tragic experience. I am also curious about what life will be like between Anakin and Padmé after Anakin's marriage, and look forward to the development of the relationship between Anakin and Master Obi-Wan, the next action of Pa King and the fate of the Republic.

    Jango Fett: Possibly.

  • Obi-Wan Kenobi: Captain Typho has more than enough men downstairs. No assassin will try that way. Any activity up here?

    Anakin Skywalker: Quiet as a tomb. I don't like just waiting here for something to happen to her.

    [Obi-Wan checks a palm-sized view scanner he has pulled out of his utility belt. It views R2D2, over by the door, but no sign of Padme's bed]

    Obi-Wan Kenobi: What's going on?

    Anakin Skywalker: [shrugs] She covered the cameras. I don't think she liked me watching her.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi: What is she thinking?

    Anakin Skywalker: She programmed R2 to warn us if there's an intruder.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi: It's not an intruder I'm worried about. There are many other ways to kill a Senator.

    Anakin Skywalker: I know, but we also want to catch this assassin. Don't we, Master?

    Obi-Wan Kenobi: You're using her as bait?

    Anakin Skywalker: It was her idea... Don't worry, no harm will come to her. I can sense everything going on in that room. Trust me.
