Content introduction:

Prequel trilogy 1: Phantom Crisis will lead the audience to the beginning of Star Wars Legend. The original trilogy (Star Wars I: A New Hope, Star Wars II: The Empire Strikes Back, and Star Wars III: The Return of the Jedi) tells us that luke skywalker has grown from a young farm boy to a hero against the evil empire, and has to fight against the black-faced Darth Vader, the most determined man in this empire, who controls his father's fate. "prequel trilogy 1: Phantom Crisis" will tell us the story of Anakin Skywalker, who will start from a naive boy, constantly pursue his dreams, fight against his fears, and grow into an evil * * *-Darth Vader in a troubled empire. The first story takes the audience to the desert planet Tatooine, the huge galactic capital Coruscant (and its Jedi Temple), the green world Bona, and people's already familiar characters, such as Master Yoda, R2-D2, C-3PO and Gaba.

In Star Wars: Phantom Crisis, luke skywalker's father is just a 9-year-old boy named Anakin. He knows nothing about his future fate as the Lord of darkness. In the early days, Obi-Wan Kenobi was a strong Jedi, and Qui-Gon King was his mentor. He tried his best to teach his students the Jedi way, because in this era of political chaos, the Jedi has been divided.

The story begins when Kim and Obi-Wan are attacked by the enemy in Naboo. When they fled, they met Queen Amidala and others. During the escape, their spaceship broke down and was forced to land in Tatooine. In the process of repairing the spaceship, they met Anakin, a slave on this planet, and his mother Shimei. To Kim's and Obi-Wan's surprise, Anakin had such great power that they decided to help Anakin regain his freedom and train him as a Jedi. But when they were about to leave Tatooine, they met the evil darth maul. After a brave struggle, they were able to escape. Later, they went to Coruscant and met with the chairman of the Galaxy to discuss Palpatine's expansion in the Galaxy. At the same time, King pointed out that Anakin should be trained as a Jedi, but the Jedi Council strongly opposed it, because they saw that Anakin was full of anger and hatred, but King ignored it and insisted on training Anakin. Later, Kim and Obi-Wan returned to Naboo again to help fight against darth maul's invasion. This is a fierce battle. In the end, Kim was killed by darth maul, and under the sword of angry Obi-Wan Kenobi, darth maul was also killed by someone who was born to die. After the war, Obi-Wan continued to train Anakin in order to realize Kim's last wish.

Introduction:

The story happened 10 years after Star Wars: Phantom Crisis, when the Milky Way was in chaos and turmoil. At the instigation of the traitor Count Dooku (christopher lee), thousands of solar systems decided to separate from the galactic republic together. However, the republics of the galaxy do not have enough military strength to suppress these separatists. In the case of insufficient troops, the Joint Parliament of the Republic of the Milky Way decided to set up a temporary army to fight against the separatist forces. One of its members, the former Queen of Napo, Amidala (Natalie Portman), strongly opposed this strategy of fighting violence with violence, because it would lead to large-scale battles and massacres in the Milky Way. But not everyone agrees with Amidala's determination to maintain peace, so some people plot to assassinate Amidala to achieve their ulterior motives.

At this time, Obi-Wan (ewan mcgregor), who has been promoted as a Jedi Master, sends his apprentice Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) to take care of Amidala's safety. Anakin, who was a teenager in prequel trilogy, has grown into a handsome boy with extraordinary skills. On the way to escort Amidala to the safe haven, a young and subtle feeling began to grow in the hearts of the two young people. This feeling will undoubtedly shake Amidala's attitude of taking the world as his responsibility, and will also challenge Anakin's oath of "no anger, no hatred and no mercy" that he must abide by as a Jedi. ...

At the same time, Obi-Wan risked his life to go deep into the distant underwater world in order to find the root of the interstellar conflict. He found that this area, which has always been regarded as a wilderness, has been secretly developed, and countless human cloning experiments are in full swing, which may even affect the future fate of the Galactic Republic. Interstellar war is imminent. ...

The darkest, heaviest and cruelest war scene in the Star Wars series.

The clone wars have been going on for three years. The Star Destroyer of the Republic and the warships of the separatist alliance are launching a spectacular space war over the capital. The Republic won, and General Geffey and Count Dooku of the Alliance kidnapped the Speaker of Parliament, Padding, and prepared to flee the Republic. Obi-Wan and Anakin respectively flew Republic fighters to rescue the Speaker, but were intercepted by the Alliance Robot Army on the way. In the end, the two men boarded the spaceship of the Trade Federation and launched a big battle with General Garfield's robot army.

The door opened and they saw Padding sitting in a chair with his hands tied. Just as they were preparing to rescue the speaker, they suddenly felt a powerful dark force-Dooku came in. Obi-Wan and Anakin flashed their lightsabers, and three lightsabers, one red, two blue and three blue, fought fiercely together. Obi-Wan was thrown up by Dooku's strength, hit the wall and fainted. Anakin faced the Sith who lost his right hand three years ago, and his heart was burning with anger. After releasing Dooku's lightsaber, he cut off Dooku's hands. Padding ordered Anakin to kill Dooku, but Garfield escaped.

After the kidnapping, Padding asked the Jedi Presbyterian Church to continue to give him military power until Gefei was found, and asked Anakin to be his personal representative in the Presbyterian Church. The Presbyterian Church had long been suspicious of Padding's delay in handing over military power, but now it was even more disgusted with his self-styled practice, so it asked Anakin to monitor Padding, but Anakin thought that betraying the Speaker was betraying the Republic. Anakin has secretly married Padme, because as a Jedi, this is absolutely not allowed. Obi-Wan noticed the subtle relationship between them, but said nothing.

Padding tried to induce Anakin to accept the dark side of the Force and hinted that the Jedi Council would try to overthrow the Republic. Anakin, worried about losing Padme, began to move closer to Padme, because Padme suggested that Anakin could teach him the dark force that could prolong human life. At the same time, Anakin was dissatisfied with the Presbyterian Church because he was not awarded the title of "Master". His close relationship with Padding led to the conflict with Padme and the distrust of the Jedi Presbyterian Church. ...

Movie highlights

Debris fell one after another, and the connection naturally appeared. George lucas, the screenwriter and director of prequel 3, promised this to the public. It has been 28 years since he wrote and directed the first Star Wars in 1977. Finally, this last chapter will be opened.

You will see that Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker will make a big decision, whether to give up his lover or his soul to get the Force to save him. You will see his final decision, why he made this decision, and how he put on the black armor throughout the story.

You will find out for yourself that Anakin Skywalker was originally chosen in the prophecy to restore the balance of the Force and bring peace to the galaxy, but he turned into a ferocious Darth Vader and became the right-hand man of the Sith King. You will also learn that Anakin's two mentors, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda, the miniature Jedi Master, managed to escape the terrible disaster of clearing all the Jedi, and lived incognito on a distant and dangerous planet, secretly expecting the faint hope to reappear. ...

be in the background

In fact, it is impossible to determine when the filming of Prequel Trilogy 3: The Sith Strikes Back will begin. In many ways, this film can be said to have been brewing for nearly 30 years, which can be traced back to the legendary story outlined by george lucas from 1970 to 1980: Skywalker's family was involved in a turbulent cosmic war in a distant galaxy.

At 8: 07 am on October 30th, 65438/KLOC-0, the main photography part of this film officially started in the Fox Studio in Sydney. Writer and director Lucas, producer Rick McCallum, two main characters: ewan mcgregor and Hayden Christine, and robot R2, as well as various people, gathered here with more than 65,438+000 people to start their first day of shooting.

Producer Rick said: "The first round of main photography only lasted 55 days, which is normal for any Star Wars movie, but compared with most blockbusters, this time is too short." Luckily for us, everything went smoothly. "In addition to the sound parts completed in Australia and Britain, the film was shot in China, Thailand, Switzerland and Tunisia, thus' fabricating' the strange planet in the film. In 2002, the crew also went to Italy to perform a horrible and dangerous task: filming the spectacular scene of the local volcanic eruption, which is the prototype of the Utapa planet where Anakin and Obi-Wan fought in the film. ...

◆ Introduction:

The inhabitants of the galactic empire suffered from tyranny, and the inhabitants of Daldani rose up and rebelled. Princess Leia sneaked into the imperial base and stole the structural data of the Death Star Center, a secret weapon that could destroy the tyrant. Unexpectedly, the princess was arrested, but she entered the data into the computer of the robot R2D2.

Robots R2D2 and 3PO fled to a distant planet. Luke, a young man from this planet, found a distress message in R2D2. Luke found the only Jedi who survived the battle against the Empire, Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan asked Luke to go with him to save the princess. With the help of Thoreau, they rescued the princess and dealt a devastating blow to the empire together.

The story of this film looks a bit old-fashioned, but its significance lies in that it showed the world such a real science fiction world in the 1970s and changed people's views on the 1980s, mainly in a certain sense.

Film Review &; Behind the scenes:

Star Wars was Lucas' original "dream". It took him several years to complete the process of recording his dreams. But a vengeful person will use his life experience to realize his dream. Everything Lucas has done is also fighting for his dreams.

The early days of Star Wars were called science fiction films in China. Strictly speaking, this film is not a science fiction film, but a fantasy work similar to The Lord of the Rings, except that it takes place in space and is covered with a gorgeous coat. You can read and see a lot of deja vu in Star Wars. In fact, there is a classical heart hidden under its gorgeous space appearance. Perhaps, Lucas wants to superimpose all the elements he likes and dreams in his personal heart into this work that has entrusted all his dreams.

Lucas likes Akira Kurosawa very much. It is said that the main plot of Luke and Captain Hansel's rescue of Princess Leia in A New Hope for Star Wars was influenced by Kurosawa's film Heroes of the Warring States. In that movie, the general of the autumn moon country went through hardships and finally escorted the princess out of danger. In Star Wars, two robots, R2 and D2, like two greedy farmers in Heroes of the Warring States, adjusted the atmosphere of the film, but lacked the profound connotation of farmers. The whole Star Wars is a mixture of Japanese samurai and European elements from ancient Rome to the Middle Ages. Needless to say, Jedi knights have more or less the shadow of Japanese samurai. The full armor of the evil god Darth Vader Black is obviously the style of Japanese Warring States armor, and of course it is also mixed with other elements. The helmet shape of Lord Hei's helmet is typical of the Japanese Warring States period style, but the warrior robe in the neck protection part (so called by Japanese and so called by China) has the style of medieval Germanic knight, and the buzzing lightsaber in his hand is also the style of medieval sword. In the prequel, Queen Naboo's palace is also a medieval castle style, and the Jedi Council reminds me of King Arthur's knights of the Round Table.

The story of this film looks a bit old-fashioned, but its significance lies in that it showed the world such a real science fiction world in the 1970s and changed people's views on the 1980s, mainly in a certain sense. The film is directed by george lucas, starring mark hamill and Harrison Ford.

In the past twenty years, the Star Wars trilogy has opened a new realm of the film industry, and its influence has penetrated into the entertainment industry, science and technology industry and popular culture. Cute robots and exciting space adventures were incredible and exciting for the audience at that time. Many later sci-fi films can also find the shadow of Star Wars. However, this far-reaching film can only be understood by later audiences through TV screens. But that is limited after all.

The watershed of technology

The focus of Hollywood turned to large-scale stunt investment.

Just like The Birth of a Country and Citizen Kane, Star Wars was a technological watershed, which influenced many subsequent films. In fact, these films have nothing in common, except one thing: they all came at a critical moment in the history of film, and the new film method has reached a mature stage that can be freely used. The Birth of a Country sets a farewell standard, which is unprecedented in editing techniques and the use of actors, and creates a new film language. Citizen Kane brings movie special effects, advanced sound effects, brand-new photography style, and most importantly, it jumps out of the fixed mode of linear narrative. Star Wars combines a new generation of special effects with high-energy action movies. It involves space adventure movies, soap operas, fairy tales and legends, and packages these elements into fanatical visual effects.

Star Wars effectively ended the golden age of personalized movies in the early 1970s, made the film industry shift its focus to the field of big investment "box office bomb" using special effects, and ignited a trend that has accompanied us to this day. But you can't blame it for what it has done, you can only observe how well it has done. Since then, major film companies have tried their best to shoot another Star Wars (raiders of the lost ark 1: raiders of the lost ark, Jurassic Park and Independence Day are its most obvious successors). Star Wars puts the focus of Hollywood on the intellectual and emotional level of a sunny teenager.

Now, the road to the revival of classic movies has been perfectly established: older classics have been invited out of the film company's vault, processed and re-screened. 1997 20th anniversary of Star Wars, the original Star Wars trilogy was released, and Lucas walked ahead of others. 1977 The special effects of Star Wars were so advanced that another industry was born, including Lucas' own ILM company. Today, many of the best film special effects are produced by this company called Computer Witchcraft. Affected by "200 1 space roaming"

Kubrick pursues truth.

Lucas plundered the past

ILM Company of Lucas made up for the regret left by the limited budget of 1977. The changes in the original version are subtle and need to be compared with each picture to find out. The improvement work was successful, which also emphasized the initial success: it had the best appearance from the beginning. What can be compared with Star Wars is Kubrick's 200 1 A Space Odyssey, which was shot nearly 10 years earlier than Star Wars. The difference is that Kubrick pursues realism and tries to imagine the real face of the future world, while Lucas happily plunders the past. Hansolo's "Millennium Falcon" has a manually controlled weapon, which is similar to the common bomb in World War II.

Thanks to the outstanding artist chesley bonesteel's imaginative paintings of other worlds, the scenery of this planet is very beautiful. When launching a general attack on the Death Star, the scene of a combat rocket gliding rapidly between two parallel walls is an affirmation of 200 1 A Space Odyssey. This third-dimensional journey of light speed was first demonstrated by Kubrick, and Lucas also learned about it. They make the audience feel that they are flying top-heavy in space.

Innocent inspiration

The atmosphere of ancient legends

It is very likely that with the growth of age, we still retain the appreciation angle of our early self. How else can you explain the fun of Star Wars? This is a film that is sincere from every frame and shines with a person's genius. He knows how to relate the development level of science and technology to a simple but illusory but powerful story. George lucas's cooperation with joseph campbell, a world expert in basic mythology, is not accidental. Their elaborate plays are considered to be the oldest stories of mankind.

Lucas began the story of Star Wars in a playful way: he did not set his action in the future, but "a long time ago"; And jumped into it in the fourth chapter "New Hope". This seemingly naive inspiration is actually more powerful, giving this epic film an atmosphere of ancient legends and an ongoing feeling.

begin

The camera shoots across the starry sky.

The above is not enough to explain the first moment of the movie. I read the film review of Mark R Lip, which said that it was the first film to shoot through the starry sky with a camera: "There was a reason why the space lens was shot with a fixed camera before. Creating a starry background large enough to penetrate is not economically worthwhile. " As the lens tilts, a huge spaceship appears above the screen and moves over your head. Against the background music, this opening only recognizes drama. No wonder Lucas was fined and resigned from the directors' association for violating the default rules of the traditional film opening method of the directors' association.

give exact information

Yinheba exotic paintings

The story was triggered by spectacular special effects, artistic design and scene layout. Among them, the amorous feelings painting of alien drinking and having fun in Galaxy Bar is the most famous, but there are still several unforgettable scenes-two robots are thrown into the abandoned robot pile; There is a snake whose head looks like E.T. in the trash can of the Death Star.

Lucas also filled his screen with love. We see alien mice busy on the beach and creatures playing chess ... When Luke's "mount" hovers over the desert, people will think of the Ford Mustang sports car that swept the world in 1965. Look at the details of darth vader's appearance-wearing a mask with fangs, wearing a black cloak and making a hollow and hoarse gasp, all of which symbolize the cold sound from the end of the world.

film philosophy

A simple but immortal story

The first time I saw this movie, I was hit at once. Objective people also noticed some flaws when watching the original version, such as the gun battle was too long when landing on the spaceship, and the imperial shooter never hit any important people ... Lucas could have thought of a more challenging military philosophy, such as containing some elements about galactic conservative forces and non-violence.

However, the film philosophy that can last forever is those that seem simple. They may be profound, but on the surface they are always as clear as people's favorite old stories. I know this because those immortal stories-Odyssey, Don Quixote, david copperfield and Hakberg Finn-are all the same: a brave but flawed hero, a hero's right-hand man, colorful people and places, and some kind of search. If we want to determine which movies will be widely known in a century or two, we may rule out 200 1 A Space Odyssey, The Wizard of Oz, and The North African Bourne, but 1977' s Star Wars is definitely among them.

Introduction:

In order to search for the rebels, the empire sent thousands of detectors to all parts of the galaxy, and one of them landed at Huff, the rebel base. Luke had an accident while on patrol. In a coma, Kenobi's soul appeared, which inspired him to go to Dick's planet to find Yoda, the teacher of the groggy warrior. After a fierce battle, the imperial army captured Haff Star. The rebels fled the base. Thoreau, the captain of space, took Princess Leia and hid in the asteroid group to avoid the pursuit of the empire. Luke and robot R2 fly to Dick.

Thoreau and the princess hid in an asteroid cave to repair the spaceship, and the imperial army pursued them. At this time, Luke also met the ugly master AUO on Dick and began to learn from him the process of becoming a Jedi. Thoreau and Princess accidentally discovered that this cave was actually the inside of a monster. They escaped by luck, hid in the imperial fleet, and took advantage of the gap to go to Yuncheng to find Thoreau's old friend Lando. But imperial spies and bounty hunters from the desert planet followed. Teacher AUO gave Luke a lot of guidance. Luke foresaw that his friend would be in trouble, so he went to that city absently. Thoreau and the princess and his party also fell into the hands of the empire because of Lando's betrayal. Lord Blake froze Thoreau and set a trap for Luke.

After a fierce chase, Luke and Princess finally got rid of the imperial pursuit and returned to rebel alliance's fleet. Facing the starry sky, he had a presentiment that a fierce struggle would come again.

Nevertheless, Luke rejoined the rebel army and prepared to attack the newly built space station of the Imperial Army. A group of rebels came to the satellite that provided energy for the space station, but the Ewoks living on the satellite were not friendly.
