A brief analysis of Star Wars

Rating: 10/10 (2 November 1998)

Star Wars - THE only contemporary epic that fufils all the requirements: a huge and encompassing story, grand characters and battles, and the supernatural.
As a film, it also contains all the things needed: excellent direction, terrific acting, a gripping soundtrack, exquisite special effects, imaginative costumes and set design, editing that tells the story smoothly and thoroughly, and, finally and most importantly, camerawork and lighting that let us get completely involved, physically and emotionally -- it's a total package.
It's science fiction at its best, and forever it will remain that way.
