But the director is not important, because the real bullock is Alec Guinness.
Alec Guinness is a character worthy of gossip. It is rumored that he is the illegitimate son of a nobleman and has never met his father. When he grew up, he met Lawrence Oliver and David Lean, and achieved his status in the theater and film industry. In 1957, Guinness won an Oscar for "The Bridge on the River Kwai," even though the film spelled his name Guiness, and two years later he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II.
Of course, what really made Guinness a popular star was the "Star Wars" he participated in in his later years. Although he was personally ashamed of taking on this "stupid" movie, Obi-Wan's image was so indelible that it made the "prequel" '' his successor, Ewan McGregor, tried his best to imitate the old man's accent.
It is said that it was at Guinness's suggestion that Lucas revised the script to let Obi-Wan die in "A New Hope", but Guinness didn't tell him his real intention - "Don't read those Horrible, bloody, clichéd lines." Later, Guinness admitted that he never read any of the letters from Star Wars Fans, and threw them all away. A super fan approached Guinness and said that he had watched "A New Hope" a hundred times. Guinness nodded and said to him seriously: "Promise me, you will never watch this thing again." Of course, this fan's Mom is very grateful for that.
Compared with the original Guinness, Tom Hanks' performance can only be regarded as diligent.
In addition, in addition to Alec Guinness, there is also Peter Sellers of the bull.
