I watched the two and a half hours of Star Wars 8 in one breath today. The reason is simple: I think it looks good! I have watched all the first eight films of Star Wars, but I didn't like it. Even the first trilogy made me sleepy. Originally, I thought this Star Wars 8 would only be worse than the previous ones, but I couldn't like it more when I saw it, so I will discuss the advantages and disadvantages here to talk about why I like Star Wars 8.
Since this is the first time I have written a long film review, I would like to ask for your understanding for the shortcomings. Also, I am not popular enough now, I can spray if I don't like it!
advantage:
The magnificent space war scene, excellent visual effects. The Star Wars series, as the master of Hollywood science fiction movies and even the entire film industry technology, its special effects have always been in the forefront of the world. It has been nominated for the Oscar for best visual effects many times. This Star Wars 8 is naturally no exception, maintaining the previous series. Several consistent standards, although the audience can now see more and more special effects blockbusters, but Star Wars 8 still shines. There are also magnificent space war scenes that make people’s adrenaline soar. Various advanced space weapons such as space dreadnoughts, space cruisers, titanium fighters, X fighters, and space bombers have appeared in turn, making people dizzying. They have created the closest thing in my mind. The epic scene of the battle of the three-body space. The various black technologies in the film are also impressive, such as flying at the speed of light, laser siege guns and so on.
Multi-line narrative. I personally divide the story of Star Wars 8 into three main lines, namely the heroine's search for Luke Skywalker and the love-hate entanglement between her and Kyloren, the black man and the Asian woman who seek to crack the First Order and track the resistance. The method, and Princess Laiya led the rebels to escape the pursuit of the First Order. These three story lines can be said to have their own characteristics. Although the multi-line narrative is used, it does not make people feel that IQ is not enough. Each of them can be impressive. The last three main lines are intertwined to stage the final battle. I will briefly analyze each story line here. The first heroine looked for Luke at first, but he was unwilling to teach the heroine to use the force. In addition, the heroine was caught in the trap of Emperor Snook and led to Kyloren. The relationship between Luke finally made Luke tell the truth, and in a few moments, the strengths and weaknesses of the main characters’ personalities were fully displayed in front of the audience. At the same time, they highlighted the characters’ inner struggles (more on this later), and promoted the further development of the entire plot. . The second story line between a black male protagonist and an Asian woman seems irrelevant, but it shows the audience the various states of the galaxy, from the extravagant upper-class nobles to the poor lower-class slaves, from the insidious and cunning liars to the dedicated soldiers of the Imperial Army. On the surface, it was only to find a way to save the rebels, but in fact, it gradually developed a grand worldview like a painting. Article 3: Princess Leia led the rebel army to escape the claws of the First Order with a strategy, but was seen through by the enemy. Why? The main reason is to highlight a sense of crisis of imminent disaster, let the audience follow their hearts to their throats, and also pave the way for the final battle, which leads to the location of the decisive battle on the planet abandoned by the Resistance Army.
The inner struggle of the character and the shaping of the character's image. At this point, I mainly analyze Luke and Kyloren. At first, Luke was unwilling to teach the heroine to use the force because of the mistakes he had made. Finally, in order to make up for the mistakes, he used the force to buy the last time for the rebels. The reason why he made such a change was apparently because The main reason for the words of the heroine and Master Yoda is that as a Jedi Knight, Luke is still kind in heart, and his force will be inclined to the bright side. Kailoren is different. His heart is tangled and struggling. On the one hand, he loves his relatives and lovers; on the other hand, he hates Luke. Just as the Force has both light and dark sides, Kailoren is Wandering between these two sides, a series of changes eventually led him to the dark side. Through the analysis of these two characters, it can be seen that there are steadfast people and tangled people in Star Wars 8, and the characterization is still successful.
The political metaphor in this film. Many people may not be aware of this. For example, black male protagonists and Asian women found that the rebels had bought their weapons on a planet that became prosperous by selling weapons. This is actually similar to the Wuchang on earth, the big gangsters. Often weapons are sold to both sides at the same time. Another example is that after the death of Emperor Snook, Hex did not want to obey the orders of Kailoren, but he had to succumb to Kailoren’s powerful force. Isn’t this not the case on earth, and the theme of the world now is peace and development on the surface. , But the world’s political structure is essentially the weak and the strong. The Five Commons not only legally possess nuclear weapons, but can also veto other countries’ pursuit of such rights. All aspects of the world are still dominated by the strong.
Laughter and tears are just right. The jokes in Star Wars 8 are like the clips of Luke training the heroine to feel the force for the first time. The robot BB8 sells cute treasures. Although there are, it does not make people feel bored. The tears are like the last Luke sacrificed himself in order to buy time. Let a lot of sentimental party tears run.
There are many other advantages of Star Wars 8, such as the philosophical discussion of The Force, which is limited to the space and will not repeat them one by one. Next, turn on Tucao mode and talk about the shortcomings of this film.
shortcoming:
Some actors have poor acting skills. Especially the heroine (although she is pretty long)! Always look at the camera with a serious face, can you change your expression! (As for some viewers who say that part of the casting is based on political correctness, I think that since it is Star Wars and not White Wars, it is necessary to choose a few of each to represent humanity!)
The relationship between the hostess and Kyloren. Kyloren inexplicably fell in love with the heroine just because he was able to communicate with the heroine, then inexplicably betrayed the heroine, and finally saved the heroine inexplicably. I don't know if I didn't understand it or what, but accept the incompetence. .
After writing so much, in short, it may be the backward special effects of the old trilogy, or the dark ending of the prequel trilogy, making Star Wars 8 the best Star Wars movie in my mind!
