By the time Attack of the Clones was released, I was already on my first year of junior high, and I finally saw the always-fascinating Star Wars in theaters (the prequel is True Horse, I can't figure it out, the moment I saw the lightsaber unsheathed, I was there. Thinking of this...isn't this a battle in space?) Later, I read the novel version specially, and I also cried when I saw the part of Anakin's mother leaving.
At that time, it was the most sensitive period for people. I was madly obsessed with love stories in movies. At the end, the kiss between the two of them before the arena is unforgettable to this day. I like them very much. Senator Padmé, beautiful and intelligent, repeatedly rejected Anakin with reason. It was her sanity that awe me, and that made her later confession precious. I was fascinated by her beauty, until I watched "Black Swan", I didn't know that she was the little girl in "This Killer Is Not Too Cold"!
What appealed to me more was Anakin, he was different from other Jedi Knights, he had a lot of emotions, he left his mother ten years ago and met Padmé. In ten years, he has grown from a little boy to a young man. His affection for Padmé has been sublimated into love, and he has never stopped missing his mother for ten years. What's more valuable is that he dared to love and hate, and even gave up being a Jedi in order to be with Padmé, as well as his rebellion against dogma and conceit of his own strength, which resonated with me. I expected him to "become the strongest Jedi Knight in history" as he said. I didn't think he was the Dark Knight
. For a kid in the third grade, the third part was the most incomprehensible to me. I couldn't accept that Anakin would actually Taking refuge in the Sith, he actually killed Padmé indirectly! Today, several years later, I can more or less feel Anakin's changing psychology.
In fact, the reasons for Anakin's changes are all foreshadowing in
the second part.
2. The desire for power. Originally, Anakin had repeatedly mentioned to Padmé his dissatisfaction with the way Obi-Wan was educated, believing that he was limiting his access to greater power. And his mother's death was the catalyst, shouting "I'm even strong enough to stop death!" making him even more obsessed with the greatest power (higher, faster, stronger)
that would have motivated him Positive, but unexpectedly pushed him into the abyss.
In addition, there is another contradiction that is strongly expressed in the third volume, that is, the Jedi elders' distrust of Anakin and the speaker's high regard for Anakin. At that time, it was not clear what was right and what was evil. Najin feels distrust of himself, while Evil Dao can find out his mind, help him solve his problems, and even promise to teach him more powerful power.
The so-called big man is for the country and the people, and the little man is a friend and neighbor. We are now living hard in society, how many people can stand on the standpoint of all the people and consider problems when dealing with others? At least the family can be prosperous, and the whole family can live a good life, it will be very good.
So I can understand Anakin, he's not an ascetic, that's what sets him apart from other Jedi, he has his own loved ones and his own desires. So he abandoned his previous ideals, republic, freedom, and democracy, and chose to use his loyalty to the Sith to save Padmé, or this is the destination of his soul. The boss in the current position is mean, and the relationship between colleagues is not good. In another position, there is a Sith emperor who is considerate and respects him (more powerful and better than the original boss), and can pursue power unscrupulously (those who have the ability to improve) opportunity), such a good job, the price is the sacrifice of those so-called beliefs.
I think Anakin made a 'little man' choice, where once a person does one wrong thing, it's a lot easier to do it again. I was surprised that Anakin was able to wield a lightsaber at a Jedi apprentice (cute kid) overnight, but it's not the first time he's killed a weakling, so he learned so quickly. Of course, he still expected to live a better life with Padmé, so he said to her on the volcano planet, "Let's overthrow the Sith together and rule the galaxy together!" Unfortunately, Padmé is the "big one", She was determined to maintain democracy and republic, she could not have created her own dynasty with Anakin, so she died of heartbreak.
It turns out that Anakin made the wrong choice, he changed beyond recognition, and even his status did not improve, he became a minion of the Sith, and did not feel any improvement in his power in the original (feeling regressed) , Luke beat him after training for a few years, and Obi-Wan let him win.) Although I finally woke up, it was the end of my life, which made me have to regret the fate of Darth Vader's tragedy.
But then again, between beliefs and interests, can we really make the right choice by ourselves?
