this film is what cinema is all about....

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2000)

star wars - it's the first film i ever saw. i was six years old when i first saw this,and i saw it in a cinema in a town called bury st.edmunds,in suffolk,england.in fact,it was the first time i'd ever been in a cinema.so there i was,without a clue as to what was about to happen.and then the words 'a long time ago in a galaxy far,far away...' appeared on the big screen..followed by john williams superb music....i was swept away into a amazing world...seeing those huge starships...desert planets..robots..smugglers...jedi knights..a princess in need of rescue...evil villains..i'd never seen a film like it before...i'm 27 now...and to this day,star wars still impresses me...and it always will - and for me,this is what cinema is all about - the ability to capture people's imagination, and to never let go.
