The Force
10 March 2001
George Lucas' Star Wars is a wonderfully produced film about a boy that wants to find his place in the universe and is placed in life-changing situations. George Lucas' imagination comes to life in Star Wars. A simple yet meaningful story is combined with the futuristic vision of George Lucas along with special effects way ahead of it's time. Along with Episode V and VI, the Luke Skywalker trilogy of Star Wars is a satisfying movie experience. For me personally, I think this is a beautiful movie that gives us many essentials in quality film making. A story with necessary elements (a "coming-of-age" film), breathtaking scenery, a capable cast and an inspired director. A great film overall. Of course, a movie can not be without it's flaws (No matter how much we want it to be perfect, it isn't). I myself didn't feel much of an impact while watching this movie. The story wasn't relevant to what I believed in and the special effects and robots' dialogue do take away from the overall impact of the film. The dialogue was a little weird but I guess that was expected due to the futuristic nature of the film's setting. Overall, the film's slight flaws that I've pointed out can not take away from the greatness of the film and to some people, may give opposite reactions that I've had. To the people that seem to hate everything they see in this movie, I say keep an open mind and enjoy.
