Chapter 375: Media Reaction
Alex has an open-ended ending at the end of the movie.
This surprised many people, and they were greatly interested in Princess Leia's choice, and whether the relationship between the two siblings broke down, and how the universe could be restored to a state of order and peace.
Some people simply call DreamWorks and ask for answers to the questions left over from the end. Others wrote to the newspaper office and published their reasoning in the newspaper.
In particular, in the TV program, there is an additional program that debates the ending of the Star Wars movie. People in this era like to debate with others the most, and many famous debate programs have also been born. When the Star Wars phenomenon spread to television, it was a hilarious situation.
Everyone has their own opinion, and some people say, "Freedom or death!" Princess Leah shows that she is such a person, and she will not give up her free position for the sake of power! ”
To such a rebuttal was immediately retorted: "But without the support of the strong and powerful, freedom is equal to death and chaos." Only by becoming a queen and holding the empire in her hands can you restore peace and order to the entire universe! ”
There are also people who support Luke Skywalker's choice, saying, "After arriving at the end of the day, Luke and Princess Leah found out how much their father sacrificed to restore peace to the universe, and even he himself became a sacrifice for peace. Yes, the Black Samurai are somewhat insane and like to kill indiscriminately. But he was influenced by the Dark Force to become like this. At the end of the day, the Black Warrior's words show that he is actually a good person! Because of this, Luke chose to carry on his father's last wishes. Contribute to the peace and order of the universe! ”
"Eventually, Princess Leah will agree with Luke's approach, does peace have to be achieved through war? Do you have to be free and peaceful if the rebels kill all the Imperial troops and completely destroy the Empire? If you do this, it will be too chilling, Princess Leah will not be so unwise! ”
"So, I think Princess Leah will definitely choose to become the queen and take control of the empire in her hands!"
Those who opposed this statement were quite unrecognizable, and they asked, "What if the rebels don't accept such a peace?" Do you want Princess Leah to kill her partner with her own hands? Luke said it himself. If the rebels don't surrender. Destroy them with your own hands! He wants to do what his father can't do, restore order and peace to the universe! ”
Arguments like this are happening everywhere. Such cases are not uncommon, as Princess Leah is the only female figure in Star Wars. She is portrayed as a brave, direct, and self-employed person. It's just a boy. For female audiences. They longed to be on the same level as Princess Leia, on an equal footing with men.
As for whether Princess Leah will choose to become queen, according to the results of the survey. 80% of women want her to inherit the power of the empire and become the queen who rules the universe.
Princess Leah became the beacon of the feminist movement, and every time the feminist movement marched, there would always be someone dressed up like her and walking in the ranks.
Men have mixed feelings about this, hoping that a woman like Princess Leah is real, and hoping that their wife or girlfriend is not such a strong woman.
At the same time, Alex's Star Wars novels were released, in which the Black Knight was the main character, that is, Anakin's past. Many people bought these novels, and one of the critics wrote a long review of the magazine he worked for.
In that reflection, he said: "Anakin is not a hero of the Republic, he is just a slave who has struggled in the wheel of fate since he was a child, and even after becoming a Jedi, he still can't get rid of the shadow of this slave. ”
"His best friend is his master, both acquaintance and bondage. His lovers were senators, who loved each other deeply but had different but same extreme political views than his own, so even when he smiled, there was always loneliness and sadness in his eyes, until the black metal helmet on his head covered his only joy and sorrow. If he threw himself into the fuse of the Dark Side Force because he didn't want to lose his wife, the reason why he returned to the light was precisely to protect his children, and it was his complexity that made me feel the naivety that people are arguing about now. ”
"Yes, compared to Luke, he is much luckier, he was not unfortunate as a child, he grew up with a sincere friend who was born and died and a teacher who became more and more strict because of his father's teachings, the flame of hope in his heart is small, but his despair cannot be extinguished, his anger and hatred will be calmed by the love of the people around him and his own persistence, so the dark force cannot tempt him in the end, and he has become the hope of the return of the Jedi."
There may be many people who disagree with this view. Because at the end of the film, Luke seems to have thrown himself into the Dark Side Force, he picked up his father's mask and put it on, but he is still a Jedi Knight of the Light Side Force, as can be seen from the color of the lightsaber in his hand! ”
"Master Yoda had trained Luke to keep his cool all the time, and that was the right choice. As long as the more sensible people are in Luke's position, they can make the same choice, that is, inherit the empire to truly avoid war! ”
"Luke's calmness and his father's sensibility make for two legendary stories."
"The leader of darkness and the new hope of light, this may be a confrontation between rationalism and sensibility in disguise, after all, empire is still centralized, and it is largely an emotional consciousness, while republicans and democracies need more reason to participate."
Eventually, the critic said: "I think the father is more like a real person, and the son, presumably, is more of a god wrapped in high technology and stunts." ”
There are not a few people who have the same attitude as him, and many people prefer the Black Warrior and think that he is more flesh and blood. Although at first, they couldn't say why, and after the critic's article was published, it dawned on people that the black warrior in the whole movie was closer to a mortal.
For this film, other news newspapers also gave their own evaluations. For example, USA Today praised in the newspaper: "The Star Wars movie series will surely become a milestone in American popular culture!" ”
"Empire" magazine said: "This film changed the entire Hollywood film history, speeding up the development of science fiction films several times!" ”
The Washington Post said in the paper: "Alex, you made it! This sci-fi film will be the film that all directors dream of making! In the future, there will definitely be many people thinking in their hearts, why didn't they make this film? ”
FilmWeek magazine analyzed the film in great detail, writing in the magazine: "The most striking thing about the film is the extensive use of cutting-edge science, especially spaceships, lasers, computers, robots, and so on." And a lot of new stunts were used. ”
"It is said that there are as many as 366 kinds of special effects props alone, and not only are the robots powerful, but they can also project a three-dimensional image of Princess Leia who can speak and move in the house, which is a special skill that has never been used before. The magical stunts combined with the magical spectacle of the distant galaxy gave the audience a strong sense of novelty and became a sensation in this film. ”
But this is, after all, only a superficial, secondary reason. "Star Wars" uses humor and pathos to create the film's psychological situation from beginning to end, which is also a tried and tested trick in DreamWorks blockbusters. For example, in films such as "The Sound of Music", "Planet of the Apes" series, and "Red Dawn" series, there are similar methods, even if it is a tragedy, it can make people smile and watch it. ”
"In the Star Wars film, the lively Han Solo and his assistant Ape Jule and two robots take on the important funny work of the film, while the bitter Jedi Knight has another fate."
The last professional film magazine concludes that in this forgotten corner of the universe, humanity and family affection can be revealed to the fullest, while on the center stage there is only war and desire.
This is destined to belong to the Skywalkers' "great expectations", the pain of fate and the entanglement of desire will always haunt them, but the Force will be with them, helping them overcome the evil in their hearts and the hatred hidden in the dark side, so as to find the true self, isn't this the case with all the stories of growth?
Alex also read the evaluation of the media, and when he read the article in "Movie Weekly" magazine, he also had to admire the professionalism of the other party. There are a lot of things that he hasn't thought clearly, but in the other party's pen, he has become organized, and he can justify himself, this is everyone's ability.
Maybe when Alex was filming, most of the time he shot according to his own thoughts and feelings, and these Star Wars movies actually have many details that are different from the original. Whether it's Princess Leia's transformation into a Jedi Knight, or Bruce Lee's messing around, this movie has become an Alex-style story.
Especially the design of the fighting action, as well as the use of special effects, etc., Alex is convinced that he has far surpassed the original, even if Lucas himself is in front of him, he also said so.
In the end, he arranged for Luke to inherit his father's business and become the only Sith in history to use the power of the Bright Side, which is his biggest change to the original plot structure. And in the background framework of the Star Wars world he set, all the events and timelines end with Luke becoming a black knight and Leah making a choice.
Other peripheral products, such as novels, comics, follow-up films, etc., are all content that happened before this. This is not the same as those series of movies, other series of movies are developing and changing in the direction of the future, and only his Star Wars series is deduced from the front.
Alex decided that the end of the Star Wars world would end with this movie, and he would not continue to shoot. At least officially, not fanfiction and the like. (To be continued......)
