The sci-fi legend "Star Wars" is no stranger to Chinese audiences. Since the 1970s until 2005, 6 films have been filmed. The new "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is a hit at the North American box office, and the IMAX visual effects are shocking. But it is difficult for Chinese moviegoers to get a taste of this "Star Wars". Although before the release, there were already various posts full of expectations in the circle of friends or Weibo, but I can feel that most of the words are either "forced" or show fashion, which has little to do with the movie itself.
Because since 1977, the Star Wars series has been filmed six times, and from the plot point of view, the main story will be filmed first, and the prequel will be filmed later. There is even a special post on "Zhihu" about "Star Wars". Best viewing order". It can be seen that people without a "Star Wars" background need to do a lot of homework to watch this movie. After all, the first 6 films spanned nearly 30 years, and this newly released Star Wars is also 10 years away from the previous one. , For Chinese audiences, to understand the relationship between the characters in the film, they must have a super memory ability, or have a great enthusiasm for "Star Wars" to watch it with relish.
Although the three original stories since the 1970s and 1980s are the starting point of all stories, for many post-80s and 90s today, the "Star Wars" in the 1970s and 1980s is an antique from the video tape era, even if the storyline It’s okay, but that kind of special effects and blurry pictures are hard to watch today. I’m afraid no one is willing to do this kind of preparatory work. It's hard to understand the relationships of the characters in the new release, and the laughter and interests of those North American audiences.
In terms of the storyline of the movie, this movie is even more lackluster. In the new "Star Wars", the old story of the struggle between the dark forces and the righteous forces is continued. The whole process revolves around finding the Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker. The biggest battle in this film is to resist the organization to destroy a star of the dark forces. A cannon, in the words of "Three-Body Problem", is the kind of weapon that can destroy a star with one shot. This battle was a little hasty. The soldiers drove their fighter jets and used aerobatics to destroy the enemy's big killer, but not even a secondary actor was shot down by the enemy fighter jets in the battle!
The character setting is even more lazy. The "First Legion" replaced the "Galactic Empire" as a negative force, and "Ben" replaced "Darth Vader" as the new Darth Vader, "Supreme Leader" Replacing "Sith" as the big boss of the dark forces. Although all the main characters appeared, there was no fierce confrontation. Although the new generation of black warriors was hit hard at the end of the film, they did not die, and the big BOSS on the opposite side did not come off to participate in the battle at all. The new generation of Jedi Knights found Skywalker Lu at the end. Ke, it can be seen that these plot settings are obviously to pave the way for subsequent movies, so this Star Wars is actually just the first episode of a new series.
However, despite this, in the recent period, "Star Wars" will still have a great market, because watching "Star Wars" has become the hottest pop culture and fashion consumption at the moment. People need to use "Star Wars" to interpret their fashion views and stand in line with trends. It doesn't matter whether "Star Wars" looks good or not, it matters whether you watch it or not, otherwise, what will you do in the circle of friends!
