Out of 11 Star Wars movies, the last one I watched was Rogue One.
True Story 3-Prequel 3-Aftermath 3-Solo-Rogue. Unintentionally, I got the best viewing order.
Of the 11 Star Wars movies, 10 are about the Skywalker family. Only this one is about the miscellaneous soldiers caught between the good and the evil. It depends on how they live and how they die.
Using the metaphor of a strategy game, Luke and his family are the hero units, while the robbers are the mercenaries of the neutral store, which can be divided or bought at the same time.
Skywalker, the emperor, they are all legends, always high above and out of reach. The audience's perspective has also been ups and downs with them, and finally reached an unattainable position - the perspective of God.
We observe the love and hatred of the Skywalker family, and see the result of their choice between one thought. It seems that the good and evil thoughts of the little people are irrelevant.
When star 9 Kylo Ren went to rescue Leia, and Leia electrocuted Palpatine, a huge sense of nausea came up. What are you shooting for the last three? Their previous twists and turns are not necessary at all. Anyway, they can defeat their opponents if they don't know how to use swordsmanship or elegance. Anyway, if their will is shaken, they will definitely be killed by memory. The latter three just pulled the main story out of the imperial mausoleum and whipped the corpse. The audience always has the feeling of being played by the director and the scriptwriters and the so-called legends, who inexplicably add to the story, get emotional and go back and forth, which makes people feel at a loss, the coherence of the film is severely fragmented, and the emotions of the audience are also severely fragmented. What is the ending? In the last few minutes, I figured it out lightly and solved all the troublesome problems lightly. shit!
If put into reality, who would like to be controlled by such a person in history? And as arrogant as they are, it is impossible for them to have the ability to control history.
Tolstoy wrote in "War and Peace": History is the unconscious group life of mankind, which uses the life of emperors every minute and every second to achieve its own purposes.
The emperor and generals are also only historical tools, and the units of measurement to observe it.
If Star Wars is a history, Daywalker is the punctuation, Anakin and Luke are the commas, Rhea is the period. And the words that make up the article are every person who has no name and no surname but has actually existed.
On the battlefield described by the old man, Napoleon's command could not reach the front of the battle for deployment and distribution, and everyone there had to decide how to fight. With rapid changes and rapid fire, no one can predict the next move, and no one can precisely direct each soldier. Countless choices are piled up in front of these ordinary people in the hail of bullets. They are the basic units to make up a legion. Only their choices can determine the direction of war and history.
Looking at the 10 Star Wars movies, the soldiers who were knocked down like mowing the grass, they didn't have their own ideals, they didn't have their own goals, and they didn't have their own families? Stormtroopers can never hit hero units and destroy their little flying machines?
"Rogue One" finally puts the perspective on civilians, on their life and death. It gave them a chance to speak, and it gave them the lens to move the course of big history.
The lieutenant who had to perform the task also had time to tell his choice and why he chose it; the mercenary also has a code of conduct that is not only for money; among the evil forces, there are also righteous men who have a heart for the faint light; even the storm soldiers are no longer confused gun.
Every little character in an epic setting is doing his part to accomplish the goal. This is true.
It is the history that is piled up with flesh and blood by these people who may not even be able to leave a name in the end. It is the real history, the truly tragic and splendid history.
Sadly, people may not remember their names at all.
After watching the movie, can you still recall the names of the black rebel leader, lieutenant, imperial defector pilot, robot, Donnie Yen and Jiang Wen characters who saved the protagonist?
Not important, really not important.
No need to blame yourself. Because we do the same in real life.
But it must be remembered what people like them have left behind.
Remember what they did, and what we do has meaning.
