Star Wars in 1999 and the dilemma of "big production" commercial films in my country today

Although the film looks a little unremarkable nowadays, the most important thing to forget is the historical background. As a film that was screened in 1999, the production was excellent. After 16 years, I can still think of the audience's amazement when watching the movie. Going back to the current timeline, this film released in 1999 is still not inferior or even slightly out of the so-called "big production" of my country's film industry. The road is far away. Besides, although the plot is a bit naive and flat, the queen's strong East Asian dress and the description of the plot in Congress can still slightly reveal Lucas' dissatisfaction with Western society and his personal utopian complex.

    Barely two points. Blu-ray reset. The plot is still a copy of the original story. The master-apprentice relationship between King Obi and Qui-Gon is very talented. Anakin (that is, Darth Vader), and this time it is Queen Natalie who runs around with him. There is no Jedi Knight Civil War. what to do? It made up a Sith tribe, but the villain did not have a storm soldier but a machine soldier. The confrontation between the empire and the republics in the true story, here is the subversive action between the federal republics due to trade, and in general a reflection of European history. There are many oriental elements in the film. The queen wears a Mongolian headdress and has a Japanese hairstyle. The weapons of the murlocs are also East Asian styles. The two main scenes, the racing car is reminiscent of "Ben-Hur", but the design of the two engines in the front is too unreasonable, and running in circles also causes the scene to repeat; the three-line decisive battle at the end of the film, as usual, due to the existence of murlocs. In view of the farce atmosphere of the third part, there is a big problem with the tonality of these two main scenes. The special effects were very representative in 1999. Several full CG characters appeared. The skin of the murloc's hands is very delicate in the close-up, but the design of this character's bag of nonsense is puzzling, which is also a feature of Star Wars.
