It is very gratifying to see that Das Mickey did not waste the potential of the Star Wars series, and they found the right development path for this series: the true story continues the dreamy silly white sweet style, which combines all kinds of incredible and the potential to easily transform into a Lego version; rumor tells It is absolutely impossible to include the true story. It is the unknown cruel side of the civil war. How the rebels without the help of the Jedi can fight against an empire whose strength is far greater than their own-these struggles will never appear to be fair, nor will they It will be full of imperial white soldiers who never aim at the target. The most common fighter has to face the absolute crush of the war machine, backed by an unstable rebel alliance. This is a far cry from the style of the series.
R1 reminded you from the beginning. The style of the opening game is obviously darker than the previous one, as if a guide filter was added (laughs). And when the male protagonist comforted the informant to "it's okay" while killing people cleanly, the audience who hadn't recovered must be a little choked in their hearts-this is indeed a movie outside of the Star Wars system. Everything that follows shows how different it is from the predecessor: the elder who has nurturing the protagonist is not a wise and gentle life mentor, but a suspicious old man who drags his incomplete body and fights alone to a nervous breakdown, cruel methods It is worse than the imperial interrogator (friends who have watched "The Clone Wars" 502 will surely be even more embarrassed); the shrewd male protagonist is not as kind and just as the "good guy" in the series, he does dirty work for the rebels , You can kill people and execute military orders without hesitation; the image of the rebels is not as magnificent as in the official biography. Leaders will not be influenced by emotions. After weighing the pros and cons, they can issue cold (but correct) assassination orders; the anti-imperial alliance is not One piece of iron, the internal conflicts are fierce, and they are far from the same enemy; our personnel can die from friendly fire; the leaders of the alliance can also shrink back.
Not to mention the limited tentacle play (wait, whattttt
Such a typical war background is that the main story trilogy and TFA did not perform in detail, but the audience desperately needed it. It not only answers the question of "How can the Death Star 1/2/3 be so fragile" that continues four parts, it is also the epitome of the entire Galactic Civil War. It tells us that the civil war is not ended by Jedi Knights and the Force alone. On the countless planets in the vast universe, thousands of unknown soldiers are fighting in their own way. It was their desperate struggle that laid the foundation for future victory. They will not be rewarded like the heroes of the true story, and will not even be remembered by future generations-at this time you realize that Star Wars is not only about high-tech weapons, dynamic trio and cute white soldiers. R1 eliminates the sense of distance between us and the cosmic war, and looks closer. Like any war, it is full of contradictions between the enemy and ourselves, internal strife, mutual suspicion, and is made up of sacrificed flesh and blood.
Star Wars audiences are actually no strangers to opening kills and sacrifices. Death is inevitable in the context of war. However, whether it is the silly main story, the funny prequel, and the ANH 3D reissue version of TFA, most of the deaths appear in the form of "plot device". Dead father, dead wife, dead wife, dead master, these tragedies that promote the plot have obvious motives and are often understated (even the destruction of the Alderaan and Hosnian galaxies is only shocked due to the lack of early rendering), which makes it difficult for the audience to have A sense of broken liver and intestines.
In addition, the old men blessed by the Force will come back in another form; those who like Han the most will also realize at a certain moment that "this is the ending that Ford wants"; more deaths are quick and easy to be killed Ignore. These sacrifices will soon be diluted by greater joy and an extremely bright ending. No hard feeling.
However, this previously ignored sense of sadness is infinitely magnified in R1, making people have to face the most bleak reality. This is the first time I watched the Star Wars series and cried so much. In fact, before entering the theater, I realized that there might be an end to annihilation, and I didn't complain about it from beginning to end. If they were to make a serious war movie, the destiny of this squad would have long been established.
It is hard to say that the experience that this sacrifice brings to the audience is "heartache". R1 had no other choice, so he broke the boat and went to death willingly. Such a Suicide Squad carries noble goals to perform mortal missions. During the period, it is mixed with some process preaching, but there is no feeling of hypocrisy. At this moment, the movie has been very convincing to show, "Hope "It's the only thing they haven't lost and they can rely on. The heroine who wandered for many years and did not want to get involved with the rebels, Baze and Chirrut who were out of the picture, the imperial pilot Bodhi who defected, the hero who did dirty work and other fighters, they are not the best candidates to be heroes at all, "but it's not what you are underneath, but what you do that defines you", these people come forward when they are in danger, just because they don't want to let hope disappear.
Rebellions are built on hope, and now Rogue One brought the galaxy A New Hope.
Countless people sacrificed, countless spaceships folded their wings, and intelligence passed through layers to break through the blockade of the Empire and Darth Vader, and fell on Tatooine and was picked up by the greatest Jedi in the future. It is more like the relay of a torch, under the eyes of the empire, silently igniting the hope of the Rebels to counterattack.
You have tears in your eyes, but not because of despair. You looked at Tarkin's sinister smile and witnessed Darth Vader crushing the rebel soldiers all the way, but you were happy to think that their good days were over. The Death Star will explode into the sky one by one, Tarkin will die of his arrogance, the weapon he wants to control, Vader will stabb the emperor in the back and eventually return to the bright side. The origin of all these victories must be traced back to a well-respected imperial engineer and a small group of soldiers who regard death as home but hide in history. Thousands of lone stars are hidden in the cold.
Remember, Jyn Erso had no fear or regret before his death. Her short life was wandering and she was in hope for the last moments. Faced with the destructive energy of the Death Star, she must have seen the end of the empire that she personally laid.
May the Force be with the warriors of Rogue One, human or non-human.

At the beginning of the film, the scenes were switched in a fragmentary way, but the flaws were not covered up. It didn't take long to bring the audience into the story with a tight rhythm and a smooth plot. The single-player action scene is neat, the multiplayer duel is fierce and there are enough details, the big scene of bombing the landmark and the planet is also enjoyable, and the degree of anxiety and excitement of air combat is 10 times that of TFA. Such a smooth and straightforward plot will never make it difficult to understand. If you don't understand it, then your IQ can be a Death Eater.
Naturally, literary drama tends to be more modest, and several plot points are old stalks. There are also many "convenient" places. For example, the heroine climbs the tower as fast as a monkey when looking for her father, and several people and horses happen to meet at the base... But if you consider this kind of details, it is estimated that TFA will be ashamed to death. Actually TFA should be ashamed. A plagiarism of New Hope has no right to show its teeth and claws in front of R1, which has such a strong originality, full character modeling, and courage to go true. The realistic route. IMDb's professional score gave TFA 81 points and R1 65 points, which once again reflects the collective mental retardation of film critics (the last time it was BVS). Some of the negative reviews mentioned that "the movie did not bring hope". I can only say that different people have different understandings of hope.
I am not cold about Disney's feminist rights. I used to have a bit of criticism about finding a woman to be the protagonist of R1 again, because the omnipotent attribute carried by the last Rey (albeit lovable) was a bit too much. However, Jyn is also a unique role in the popcorn industry of female thugs everywhere. Just like watching Furiosa in Mad Max, I forgot her gender. The relationship between her and the male protagonist ends, from mutual diss to mutual support, to hugging each other to welcome death, the friendship of comrades in arms moved the world.
R1's other character creation hasn't been delayed, first of all, it is the contribution of the character, and the second is the assistance of the plot. The ruined pilot is soft and cute, Jiang Wen and Donnie Yen are going to debut (wait, whatttttttt), and all the female audiences want to marry K-2SO. Although they are completely destroyed, they left a very deep impression. Unlike many similar movies, most of the time, even if there are group dramas, people turn their heads and forget. Thinking back to the suicide squad, I felt that everyone made up for Halle and the dead shot. If someone doubts that the plot is too rushed and the characters are thin, there is no way. Both the main story and the prequel have three parts to shape the protagonist. There is plenty of time and no need to focus on the main line in every sentence. The characters in this movie, easy come easy go, swiftly fell across the starry sky. What we see are only a few shots from their short lives, but these shots are enough to prove their bravery, even if they have been stealing most of their lives. Robbery and cheating.
I can’t find any major omissions in such a film. The viewing experience is like an emotional roller coaster. This train still rushes up in the last ten minutes and refuses to return to the starting point. It forced you out when Princess Leia appeared. Scream inwardly. Seeing this wonderful man drowning in the moonlight and suffocating from his bra reproduces the screen with a young face, all you can do is weep happily.
May the Force be with Carrie Fisher.
ps.
* After a series of acquaintances, I almost couldn’t help but dance, such as Tarkin, Organa Councillor, Mon Mothma, Yavin 4, the strongest droids combination, Darth Vader, Red/Gold leader, those who are looking for trouble with Jyn (being severed in the future) Combination... They appear so natural, worse than TFA, shouting at you across the screen, "Did you see it, this is a tribute!" It's much smarter;
* Director Krennik wore a white coat to the extreme, and he was called the disaster star of the empire. It must have been wherever he went before, no wonder he was unfavorable. This person who has no eyesight still complained to Tarkin in front of Sir Alex. Director, you didn’t know that Tarkin and Sir Alex’s relationship was so good that the latter would talk to him about his unforgettable love affair. As for the main story, Tarkin can immediately react "You mean Obiwan Kenobi is here"? Distressed! AllKrennik reservation!
* Brain hole: The hostess's adoptive father told her to go quickly, but she actually kept pulling her arm. Hostess: Let go and let me go!
* Your Uncle Mai finally played a role that doesn't look like a pervert, what a simple engineer, I like it. At the same time, other engineers felt that the day was tauntaun;
* "Father!"-In the galaxy, everyone is the father of everyone, and I feel a pain in my heart. If there is a "Star Wars World", for every host, every path leads them to their fathers.
* It is 2017 now, when can we marry K2.
* The first good impression that this movie gave me was the interweaving of the Force theme and the Empire theme at the end of the first trailer. The film was as dark and sour as I expected, but it was full of hope. It was still a HE, connecting with ANH. It's seamless, it did what TFA didn't do;
* The title seems to be philosophical and is actually an excerpt from Daft Punk's Instant Crush: One thousand lonely stars hiding in cold, the translation does not come from me.
