Best Movie of my Life

Rating: 10/10 (25 July 2010)

I grew up behind the iron curtain in Hungary. We hardly had the chance to see Western movies. I was 8 when I saw it, in 1982. I remember we were late from the movie (I went with my brother and grandmother) and we arrived to our seats when R2D2 was trying to find a way out from the icy base of the rebells on Hoth.
I started to watch the film in awe, as I have never seem anything like it in my life. It's difficult to describe what impacts it gave me. Yes, on first level the special vision complex of the movie, the freedom fight against dictatorship, the novel landscapes and then the modern technology, but also the Asian (Buddhist, New Age) philosophy, that I had never encounter until then.
I couldn't get out of its spell for several years. (I think I was in love with Han Solo for several years, too.) And with the movie - even now.
Thanks Gorge Lucas and the Hungarian Distributor, who dared to bring it it in!
