A major feature of the film’s plot is the fancy anti-routine. First, some seemingly routine bridge sections are used, such as last-minute rescue, rebellion against superiors, encounters with nobles, etc., to set off the atmosphere that makes the audience expect the climax to break out, and then suddenly Use one or more reversals to break this psychological expectation, and then immediately move to the next stage of conflict before the audience has time to be disappointed.
It is worth mentioning that although these routines are only "cannon fodder" that is destined to be broken in the end, the director still speaks very carefully. This allows the audience to know that they are routines, but still put their emotions into it, and wait until At the time of the final reversal, you can enjoy full surprises.
These "anti-routines", I think most of the settings are very brilliant, but not all of them are well laid out. For example, in the scene where Bo led the team against General Jordo, this reversal is very good, because whether it is comics or movies, Bo is transforming from pilot to commander. I think Bo is very likely to take over. The role of the commander of a generation of resistance forces, and this scene with General Jordo is undoubtedly a good lesson for Bo on how to be a good general.
But the problem is, Holdo, you and Bodo have an antagonism and want to hide the plan from him? If it's normal, I don't dare to say that I'm afraid of the plan leaking. At this critical moment, the all-rebel soldiers are just a little bit on this ship. It's ugly that the organization has collapsed, and I'm still playing this set of shutting up and obeying orders. Why bother?
Of course there are bad and good. The ending Luke vs. Kellore really can be said to be a new legend. This one made people from "good routine, Lu Ritian came to the rescue again"-"Wow, Lu Ritian is such a big plug-in, this plot is going to collapse"-"Go, Lu Ritian has such a big advantage. Run? Forced to add drama"-"But, Lu Ritian, who has such a big advantage, wants to forcefully explain here?" All kinds of dissatisfaction and doubts all turned into ingenious admiration for the director at the moment when the truth is revealed. The applause given to this bridge section is well-deserved. It deceives and misleads the audience, but it is completely reasonable, and it must admit that the design is excellent.
This film is such a collection of various anti-routine bridges. It retains many of the advantages of the routine plot, but it has made breakthroughs. It has developed new possibilities in many of my favorite characters. The characters who thought they were already completely radiated with new vitality. Some of these new explorations failed (Holdo's reversal), some became classic (Luke Nirvana), and some were quite satisfactory (Kellore and Lei fought side by side). But at least they are starting to make me look forward to the next Star Wars movie.
