The words are an aspect of the film that I find compelling because they set the tone/mood in the film. First, Luke sees a woman in distress. As he sees a woman in distress, it triggers a signal in his brain to take action. The said action pushes him to be somebody great. This action will then help him identify who he is as an individual.
These words are an aspect of the film that I again find compelling because Luke doesn't know that he and Princess Leia are siblings; twins as a matter of fact. He sees this woman as beautiful and is eager to know who she is. In the film you see them working together to escape from Darth Vader in the Death Star. As the film ends, they both smile at one another. The smile is a representation of a strong connection between two people.
Another aspect of the film I found compelling was the bond that Luke Skywalker and Han Solo shared together when blasting the battle cruisers (bad guys) out of sight. This bond is compelling because it brings about two unlikely people that share a common goal. Even though the two men seemed to be an unlikely pair, they realized that in order to accomplish their goals, they had to work as a team to get what they wanted.
I agree with this. Even though he resisted going with Han Solo at first to help Princess Leia, he eventually decided that he should. When he no longer feared punishment, of course. I also enjoy the love story that is formed in this movie between Leia and Luke. It always made me want to watch the next movies to follow the story even further.
ReplyDeleteI am not really a fan of Star Wars so reading this post is interesting to me because I can not get into the movies. Reading your post helps me understand some of the movies better and to see how you like the movie. Very good detail.
ReplyDeleteI also like how it is Luke Skywalker's inquisitive nature regarding Princess Leia that ultimately pushes him to become one of the heroes in this film. Not knowing who she is, only that she needs help forces him out of his comfort zone, which is actually where he was longing to go in the first place. Your attention to detail regarding the words along with Luke's actions set the tone for the movie is spot on. I like how you wrote this post...good job!
ReplyDeleteTo start with, nice post. I liked that you talked about the relationships that the characters have with one another. I also like how you said that R2D2 is the foundation of the film. He really is! Without the adorable little trashcan, Luke would never have gone to find Leia and basically the movie would never have happened. I feel so mean saying this, but you have a really silly ‘typo’ that you did twice…A histogram is a bar-graph. I’m bringing this up because I read that sentence a few times with confusion. The word you wanted to use is ‘hologram.’ I bet it was an autocorrect or something like that. I actually think it was the typo that made me keep reading the comment! Despite you probably not being a geek, you showed that you understood Star Wars Episode IV! Nice =D!
ReplyDeleteahh yes thank you so much. I knew it was hologram but was working on an assignment for psych assessment.
