Many years ago, there was a movie called "Fanboys". Before the release of the Star Wars Prequel, a group of Star Wars fans embarked on a steal in order to realize their dreams for friends who had little life left and could not wait for the premiere. The road to the original copy. There are countless stories in the film, and at the end of the film, Star Wars fans wearing various costumes and props ushered in the premiere of the film. A few friends sat in the cinema, the prelude sounded, and the thunderous cheers, and the last line was: "If this What if the movie sucks? (What if the movie sucks?)".
Yes, this mood is probably understood by many Star Wars fans. For many people, this is just a movie, making life and death seem a bit nervous; even watching the premiere is like "If you watch it in two days, will you die? If you don't watch the DVD, will you die? "Such comments are not surprising. But I always think that people have to have some hobbies and find some spiritual sustenance. What is the difference between people who have no hobbies and salted fish? Of course, there are many strange hobbies in the world, and I chose Star Wars.
What are the expressions of those Star Wars fans who have waited for more than 10 years when they see the prequel? There have been enough discussions about the prequel, and of course the preferences can be different. At the same time, when the prequel was released, I was far from such an experience. But when it came to "The Force Awakens", sitting in the theater when the Star Wars logo appeared, my mind was always surrounded by the shadow of Zaza Binks. Fortunately, it has not yet reached that point. After all, with the mentality of smashing the pot, I felt that it was no problem to score 9 points in the film. However, after revisiting it over and over again, my impression of "The Force Awakens" has dropped all the way, until after watching "Rogue One", "The Force Awakens" is still 9 points in my mind, but it is no longer a 10-point scale. ...
"The Force Awakens" has the title of the seventh part, there are infinite possibilities, the final ending is unknown to everyone, but the story is finished with a mature or conventional method; the complete destruction of "Rogue One" The ending is basically doomed, otherwise it won't come back to "New Hope", but it looks more like the taste of the year.
If you are a fan of Star Wars, seeing those familiar characters appear is probably enough to cheer. As a diehard fan of the empire, Tarkin's roles far exceeded expectations. At the same time, I am also happy to see that the rebels are no longer complete people standing on the moral high ground. They have also done all kinds of dirty work, just for the idea in their hearts, and this idea also allows them to face the things they know and cannot do. Go to death generously. The rebels are built on hope. Although this hope seems very ethereal, it is enough to make people give everything. Remember that farm boy? In order to save his friend, he went through fire and water to save his friend, and to get his lost father back to the right path. Luke's simple and firm conviction returned to the Star Wars movie again. But this time, compared with the powerful empire, the sense of powerlessness of the Rebels appeared stronger, and their sacrifices for hope were also more admirable.
The robots that routinely sell toys in every movie, plus two Chinese actors who seem to be incompatible with the Star Wars worldview, are actually a bit worrying. But I was wrong. K-2SO's "Do you know that's not me" and Donnie Yen's "Are you kidding me, I'm blind", which contributed to the biggest laughter in the movie. Only the role that puts you in your emotions can his destiny affect your attention. The gathering of people with different destinies who have tasted the hardships of the world has also led the movie to the climax.
Although the elements are still those, there will always be new feelings from a new perspective. The Star Destroyer slowly emerged from the shadows, and the huge hull was pressed from the entire screen; turning the eye lens to zoom out, compared with the Death Star behind it, it seemed so insignificant. As for the death star’s main guns that flashed past, this time from the perspective of the attacked, this sense of oppression and helplessness seemed extremely strong, so it looked like a mob of rebels. At the meeting, it seemed normal that someone would even surrender.
Admit it, Rogue One contributed the most exciting space battle in the history of Star Wars. In an interview many years ago, George Lucas once said that he wanted to make one of the greatest aerial combat films with an industrial light and magic body. I believe it. Next, Lucasfilm tinkered with "Red Tail"... In "The Force Awakens", Dameron driving X-wing to destroy several TIE fighter long shots in one go, but it was a little bit of a trivial matter. Noisy. Although Star Wars is no longer in Lucas's hands, I believe he will be satisfied with the "Rogue One" scene. The AT-ACT that appeared in the smoke was enough to exchange cheers, and the Rebel fleet that jumped out of the hyperspace was simply screaming. The roaring TIE fighter fleet and the weak Rebel flying squadron passed by in "The Empire Strikes Back". This time they finally crashed into a sturdy Star Destroyer and the unstoppable Vader flagship that came to the rescue. , This is the quality that Star Wars should have.
I'm not just mentioning Vader. Is it interesting to abuse the dishes? So interesting!
The rumors that left the switch on the camera to make up shots are not mentioned, and the separation of the two rhythms before and after is the most criticized place. Although there are no lines of water injection, it is an indisputable fact that the rhythm is slow. The meeting of the father and daughter in the rainy night is a challenge to the midnight field. And although you always like to use rhetoric like "I can understand without watching Star Wars", if you don’t even know who Tarkin and Leia are, then it’s quite normal for the film’s evaluation to drop by a few points. Not to mention the end of the "sequel to a sequel".
The Easter Egg summary articles will probably be overwhelming. One of my satisfaction with "Rogue One" is that the eggs that serve Star Wars fans have been shown to be as restrained as possible. Think of the proficient "The Force Awakens". Finn arrived on the Millennium Falcon and accidentally opened the holographic chess piece. The camera freezes close-up to give you time to applaud. Turning around and taking out a Force training ball, it’s the same thing. The technique makes me feel like being led by my nose when I see too much. In "Rogue One", the chess pieces are replaced with wooden ones, and they sway in the background. It is enough for you to have a knowing smile. As for inserting archive shots of the golden and red team leaders 40 years ago in the classic cockpit front view, this is just for fear that you will see it at a glance. By the way, when the Red Five was shot down, I whispered a long live empire...
The world of Star Wars in 2016 is full of sadness. When you see R2-D2 and C-3PO who have participated in every Star Wars movie, you can only see the name of C-3PO actor Anthony Daniels in the cast list. When you see the stunning appearance of Princess Leia at the end of the film, and the subtitles finally appear to thank Carrie Fisher, you know that they have left you forever. All this makes you heartache and makes you love Star Wars even more. After all, it has never been more than just a movie.
