"Star Wars" has long been more than just a movie, it is a discipline, an empire, and even a religion, and its impact on American culture and society is undoubtedly powerful.

When Ronald in the Eighties? When President Reagan named his missile defense program "Star Wars," the world was shocked; And more than two years ago, Enron's internal staff made false accounts to "Skywalker" and "Das? Vader", the public couldn't help but be stunned.

It's been almost 30 years since the first film in the Star Wars franchise was released in 1977, and all five films released have been a huge commercial success, and every time a new film is released, it becomes a big festival for Star Wars fans.

For Star Wars fans, "Star Wars" means a kind of faith, "Star Wars" is not just some special film scenes or memories of characters, but also a memory of youth.

Like Jennifer? After attending the North American premiere, Lopez once told reporters, "I was a kid when I watched "Star Wars", it was the first one, it was just shocking, and now this series has come to an end, and I feel that there will be a lot of spiritual enjoyment in my future life." ”

Although the Latin diva is suspected of being a showman, her opinion is undoubtedly the most appropriate description for fans.

A week before the film's release, a global employment agency predicted that the release would cost the U.S. economy more than $600 million, as many employees would take time off work to see the premiere.

In Hollywood, even though the China Theatre, the traditional theater where the Star Wars series was originally shown, has no plans to show premieres, hundreds of avid fans have been queuing for more than a month, hoping to convince theater staff to change their minds.

These all show the expectations of fans for this movie, especially North American fans.

Therefore, it is only natural that "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith" broke the box office record on the North American premiere day.

The film's North American first-day box office was $51.53 million, pushing the opening day box office record to $50 million, although the North American box office plummeted to $35.55 million the next day. But on the following Sunday, the single-day box office rushed back to $49.09 million.

Immediately on Monday, a professional investigative agency published a comment on this phenomenon.

"After the first day of movie-watching frenzy, fans found that the common problem of all Star Wars series films is that almost all of this film is zài, and the emotional drama is too bloody, Anakin? Skywalker and Padmé? Amidala's lines are pale and the expectations have dropped, which has caused the box office numbers to drop sharply the next day, but a great director can create a great series of films, and a great actor can save the box office. ”

"Although George? Lucas did the foreshadowing, but Anakin? Skywalker's transformation process is still abrupt. However, Ryan's performance saved the role, handing over the role of Skywalker to a great actor, so to speak, George? Lucas made the wisest decision in the Star Wars prequel trilogy. ”

"Compared with the thinness and casualness in "Attack of the Clones", Ryan undoubtedly put more energy into "Revenge of the Sith", and also had an amazing performance, not to mention the dark eyes after wearing the hood, just a few scenes of the character's inner struggle, let people see his profound acting skills."

To paraphrase the professional's evaluation, that is, he remains confused at the same time. He seemed desperate and angry enough, like a trapped beast forced into a corner, he was trapped internally and externally, and was forced to the threshold of choice. In the end, a sad and tragic choice was made! ”

"With such a great performance, it's no surprise that it's no surprise that fans are back in the theater!"

Despite the complimentary comments, Ryan scratched his head a little when he saw it, because George? Lucas asked for a more lenient relationship. He admits that this one didn't put too much effort into acting......

Maybe there is some truth in Natalie's words, a person who is filled with darkness in his heart, plays a dark role. You don't have to perform at all.

In any case, it is an indisputable fact that "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith" is about to set another record, with a first-week box office of $136 million not only sitting on the top spot in the North American box office charts, but also setting a new first-week box office record in North America.

With such a popular movie, the increasingly weakened film critics will naturally not let it go, and they have jumped out one after another to express their opinions.

"Star Wars Episode III has more action on average every minute than the previous five films, and it's spectacular. The special effects are more mature than the previous previous episodes, and of course they are not necessarily very effective, and in general they are better than the first two, but they are far inferior to "The Empire Strikes Back"! ”

This is from the Chicago Sun-Times Roger? Albert's comment that some people are indeed old and always like to live in the memories of the past, but they are never willing to see new changes in the world.

And young film critics appreciate the film even more, female film critic Claudia? Pugh said in a USA Today column, "Even for non-Star Wars fans, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith is so engrossing that fans of the series have the potential to be ecstatic to another galaxy." ”

She gave the film a high score of nine.

Overall, the film critics still have a positive attitude towards the film, after all, it is the end of a series, and this series is still the film critics agreed that it was "cheap entertainment" and "a child who must die", perhaps nearly three decades later, film critics still remember the hot slap in the face left by the "Star Wars" series.

"The scenes, the influences, the signature action of the movie are all brilliant and almost perfect!"

-- The Wall Street Journal

"George? One of the best in Lucas's Star Wars! ”

- The Hollywood Reporter

"'Revenge of the Sith' brings the galaxy called 'Milky Way' to a successful conclusion."

-- The Washington Post

The problem with this film is equally obvious and prominent, George? Lucas is really not good at designing romantic plots and dialogue, and most of the criticism of the film is directed at the dialogue, especially in the romantic scenes, and critics and fans alike have invariably criticized some of the film's lines for being pale or even clichéd.

However, this will not affect the film's huge success at the box office.

In France, where the premiere was officially held, the first-week box office reached more than $26 million, also breaking the local first-week box office record.

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith also did well at the opening week around the world, with more than $1,800 in Germany, more than $12 million in Australia, more than $19 million in Japan, and more than $22 million in the United Kingdom......

This year's Cannes Film Festival is not a paradise for literary films in Europe and Asia at all, but a Hollywood world, where newspapers and fans are the focus of discussion, all of which were stolen up by "Fahrenheit 911" and "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith".

If it weren't for the fact that "Superman Family" would not be officially released until the end of May, I am afraid that those so-called art films would really lack interest.

"Star Wars Prequel III: Revenge of the Sith" was a huge commercial success, which can never be matched by a dying European film, and some journalists from Europe inevitably say sour things like 'Hollywood is all about business', and even say these things to some filmmakers from the United States.

Ryan and Natalie were wandering along the Esplanade when they were asked this question by several reporters.

"George? Lucas's achievements are beyond the reach of most artists, he has created a great world and fascinated us. ”

In the face of these guys from Europe, Ryan doesn't mind saying a bunch of nice things about his 'fellow Hollywood guys', let alone George? Lucas is still his friend.

After saying this, Ryan nodded his finger behind him, and immediately a bodyguard came up to stop the reporters, and he accompanied Natalie to the waterfront pier.

As for those questions about the substantive relationship between the two, Ryan and Natalie ignored them, all of them had a tacit understanding for a long time and would never answer questions in this regard, if there are tabloids who like to hype, then go and fry cold rice, ignore it.

The Corniche is lined with tall palm trees, with the famous golden sand beach on the seaside and the marina at the end of the beach, where dozens of luxury yachts with a unit price of more than one million dollars are parked.

"Next time I'm in Cannes."

As the two approached the dock and looked at the white yachts, Ryan said to Natalie, "We'll just take the yacht here." ”

"Do you think a small marina in Cannes can park a 400-foot mega yacht?"

Taking a step forward, Natalie stepped onto the pier pier and turned to the railing, her brown eyes chasing a seagull flying away and turning to the sky, Ryan stood beside her, looking at the calm sea, and continued to joke, "We can let the yacht moor in the open sea, and then take a helicopter and land directly on the tarmac on the top floor of the hotel." ”

"As long as you like, then I will accompany you." Natalie squeezed his hand hard.

She knew very well that Ryan would only tell such unbridled jokes when she was close enough to someone.

The two held hands and walked slowly towards the end of the trestle, occasionally seeing a chic yacht, and stopping to comment, some yacht owners invited to take a group photo, they were not refused.

"Will you go back after the festival?"

Walking to the end of the pier, Natalie looked at the turquoise waters below, "Sophia and Ms. Kennedy have agreed to make me one of the assistant directors, and we will work with them on the film." ”

"It's a rare learning experience." She said again.

"I'll go back after the ceremony."

Since he agreed to the French side's attendance, he will not lose his word. (To be continued......)
