Let the Past Die?

I went to show it two weeks ago, and it was only finished two weeks ago.

To be honest, the first time I watched ROS, I was not satisfied. Such a simple story, two and a half hours in length, but still in such a hurry, it is really breathless. Finally, when the protagonists embraced and celebrated, I was exhausted in my heart to marvel at their still energetic after sixteen hours of exhaustion (including but not limited to interstellar voyages, martial arts, etc.).

But the second brush seems to be quite different: the energy that is not involved in the plot, when it comes to the details, just happens to be.

My personal feeling, given the script and duration, JJ has done a good job-this is a conditional expectation.

At least, I can remember now. Kylo Ren walked through the towering stone statues in the Sith Temple, Luke Skywalker walked out of the raging fire of the titanium fighter, and Rey jumped on the dead star wreck in the turbulent waves... A magnificent sight. Those words of praise, I offered them during Star Wars 8, and many of them can probably be used in this busy final chapter.

However, I turned to the wish list two years ago and felt somewhat resentful. After all, I couldn't listen to Across the Star by Naboo Lake again, and watch the Battle of Heros on Mustafa again, so when I left the field, When I heard the most agile Rey's Thème, I stopped again, and I might not have a chance in the future, sad.

I'm a little curious, if the entire trilogy is given to JJ, or all to RJ, what will each of them look like. After seeing the cured Ben looking out at the sea, he said "Hey, Kid!" and the camera stopped for a few seconds before turning to Han. I felt a little painful for JJ. Of course Kylo Ren shouldn't be so "violently killed", and Ben shouldn't be reborn so hastily, who doesn't know? It's like, "I know it's too sudden here, but there is no way. There is no preparation before, and there is no time afterwards. I can only relax for five seconds." The different styles of the first two movies have long made it difficult to return to the subsequent gatherings. JJ can do everything well, but probably fans often imagine him in the final chapter with a gambler mentality. Weakness, weakness.

In fact, I really admire JJ’s attitude of filling the pit. Four years ago, the incredible Snoke appeared in the culture solution in a strange shape. The mysterious Lun Warrior regiment was armed with eighteen weapons without a single line (this is really a The best solution), General Hucks passed away gloriously after he was elected the cutest spy (also a wonderful thing)-JJ still remembers the pancake drawn in TFA, three parts and two parts, and the final order does not stop. It's shameful.

Ok, although I may have more tolerant room for JJ, after the second brush rating increased, it is still not as good as TLJ two years ago. I still remember the fragmented silent black-and-white picture of the Snoke flagship in the latter, but this time the same sound effect had to be used on Rey's reflexive look at the titanium fighter, which was greatly degraded. The battle in the Sith Temple is also hastily. Compared with the fighting charm and color charm of Reylo vs. Guards in TLJ (which can stand at the apex of Star Wars), it is really hard to beat. I miss RJ a little bit more.

I often want to go back to the time when Star Wars was born more than 40 years ago. At that time, there was no official history and no legend. Fans were still waiting for passers-by to be conquered. The burden behind it was not a whole business. empire. Lucas can do whatever he wants. He has a design that has been regarded as a standard "setting" for forty years. Even for the technical constraints of the lightsaber swing, it can also be dubbed "Jedi elegance."

I really hope that Star Wars can be compared to those rough nomads in history. It has conquered the dull audiences with incredible vitality and brought them unprecedented passion and imagination. But when the audience became its fans, they also shackled it. In order to maintain the satisfaction of people's expectations, it is determined to maintain its most beloved appearance, no longer running freely, but no longer free. Years later, people who became fans questioned Star Wars in turn, questioned its vitality, and became mediocre and unsatisfactory. However, what dismembers Star Wars like a car is not exactly the fans' tastes that are becoming more and more diverse and difficult to reconcile?

I have seen many people's complaints in film reviews, but it is nothing more than contempt and ridicule such as "My roommate drinks salty soy milk" (they probably think that salty soy milk violates their logic of survival). The sweetness and saltiness of soy milk is a dual problem. These complaints can of course be supported by half of the people in the comment section in theory. But in essence, this is probably still a personal issue. Cried out such as "Rey turned out to be the granddaughter of ppt, it's too bad!" and was inspired by those who felt like it. Those who think that ROS is objectively logically broken because of this, don't know whether they should think twice. (Of course the Star Destroyer Fleet may indeed be a big problem)

Anyway, thank my goddess Daisy Ridley! Such a smart and strong Rey, flowing hooded white shirt, really made me fall in love at first sight, worthy of the name Skywalker. Naturally, there is also Adam Driver, relying entirely on performance to prop up a villain who has never been seen in the Star Wars movie, and is even more real than Sir Alex Ferguson. Crazy, contradictory, impressive! (Reylo is awesome!)

How hopeful Kylo Ren used to say "Let the past die!" is true...

I wish everyone who loves Star Wars can find their own parallel universe, where is the most perfect legend from long long ago in their hearts. I also hope that all the storylines can meet at the end of the galaxy. May the force be with you.

Note: The last skywalker in this article is literal and does not support Rey to change his surname~
