The magnificence of "Star Wars" in the poetry of dreams is no longer necessary to repeat here, but as the rumor "Rogue One" is going the other way, although the movie seems to have lost the epic bloodline of the main story , But with a tragic sympathy that originated from the little people facing the war, gave "Star Wars" a new perspective. The hope that became a prairie fire became the most dazzling light of this movie.
The only problem with "Rogue One", I personally think that if you don’t understand the past and present of "Star Wars", then you will still feel the length and obscurity of the prelude, but for viewers who are familiar with "Star Wars", This is a new work that has both continuation and is not limited to routines. The film focuses on the background of the episode between "Revenge of the Sith" and "New Hope", using the stealing of the Galaxy Empire Death Star design as a guide The unfolding of "Star Wars" can temptingly link the entire frame of "Star Wars", and at the same time outline the tragic fate of a group of intrepid little characters, which enables the film to shape its own unique tension.
When I look back at the earliest "Star Wars" trilogy now, although it is impossible to deny the splendor of the plot, it still feels that it is inevitable to escape the aura of heroism. How can a real revolution be the achievement of a few people? Countless unknown heroes who sacrificed and dedicated to them were actually taken away in this grand star war. What "Rogue One" did was to steal the "rebel spies from New Hope". The Empire’s Ultimate Weapon, Death Star Design", these little people who have been introduced in a few strokes sincerely restore and reproduce a war tragedy originating from ordinary people.
In terms of character creation, this new work, apart from Hollywood’s accustomed hero and heroine settings, and Star Wars, which are already standing hi-corn robots, the blind man played by Donnie Yen and the weapon expert played by Jiang Wen are pleasantly surprised that it is no longer a dragon. The supporting characters, and of course the timid cargo plane pilot Luke, the film’s vivid and outstanding character portrayal of each team member who participated in the design of capturing the Death Star, so that even audiences who have not watched "Star Wars" The latter part can also be integrated into this story, and was cried by these heroes who are willing to give.
From the overall conception, in fact, at the beginning, "Rogue One" makes people feel that it is very different from the traditional "Star Wars". On the one hand, the film abandons the original demarcation of decent and villain settings, and the plot The development of, let us see that there are conspiracies and ignorances in the allied forces. Under the rule of the empire, there is no only chaos and gloom. On the other hand, the protagonists this time no longer have the heroes of traditional Hollywood movies. The protagonist halo, this is an absolute tragedy that destroys all the good things for you. From this, when we look at this made-up planetary epic, what is actually filled with is no longer an optimistic revolution and passionate blood, war The cruelty and ruthlessness are also revealed here.
If "New Hope" is a heroic legend that has gradually become a prairie fire, then "Rogue One" is the spark that has been forgotten by the world, burning itself to ignite this prairie fire, from the point of view, in fact, In the long river of reality, it is not the fearless dedication and sacrifice of countless ordinary people that have created a period of legendary stories about big people, and the focus on the little sparks is what makes this movie most awe-inspiring.
