Conservative and slightly regrettable curtain call

Years later, looking back at the Gobi Desert, Rey can't help but think back to the afternoon she met BB8.

The nine parts of the legend of Skywalker were originally about the love and killing between two families. The two descendants ended the family's century-old grievance with the last kiss. Rey and Ben finally ended the three-episode brainwave communication and found the ultimate meaning of their existence between opposites.

At the same time, the film strongly proves that the plot of "Father and Oedipus" is the common thread of human beings. Luke killed his father Vader, Ben killed his father Han Solo, and Rey killed his grandfather Palpatine. Princess Leia has become a node that connects everyone, comforting her brother, giving Ben the courage to forgive, and giving Rey the motivation to move forward. Freud really saw through the essence of Western civilization.

The Force is not just the Force, it cannot be summed up in simple words. It contains all things, and breathes out all things. It is mysterious and mysterious. Behind Rey are thousands of generations of Jedi Knights, and her body embodies the most mysterious energy source in the Star Wars universe. When the lightning pops out of her hands, it means that the creator has lost the confidence and determination to limit this idea power. Since the Force is unspeakable, let's make it a bug outright.

This film once again makes clear that women's rights, minorities, black people and LGBT are political correctness that cannot be challenged in the contemporary era. Finn and Rose's scenes lubricate every major plot turning point of the film like a dab of water, which is a clumsy and cunning approach. 's businessman is cautiously seeking a fig leaf that is gorgeous but not delicate. Like the ghostly laughter of the Sith Lord, white elitism lurks in every corner of the film, looming and always giving the impression that it will come back to life at some point.

Old characters such as Princess Leia, Han Solo, Luke, Cui, C3PO, R2D2 and others achieved the final curtain call. Although the age gap precludes them from participating in the adventures of young people all the way, the role of "guide" ensures that they do not miss every turning point. They finished the show with a dedicated attitude of serving newcomers. Personally, Disney and JJ Rams owe them a big picture together.

In general, although the plot of this film is conservative, its sincerity in trying to mend the radical tendencies of the eighth film is enough to satisfy fans. Its existence should be viewed in the context of a series of cultural symbols. It is not perfect, but it is also far above the level of existing Hollywood blockbusters. There are still many details worth expanding and filling in "The Legend of Skywalker", and the end of the film also leaves such suspense and possibility, but it will be a brand new story by then.

Let the past past, the force will be with you forever.

Finally, I have to say that Rey is really handsome and beautiful.
