In the 20th century, when Zhang Daqian copied the Dunhuang murals, in order to see more ancient pictures, he did not hesitate to reveal the surface murals, but the Tang Dynasty's unique pen he saw also quickly aged decades later, becoming a piece of soil wall Dim and dirty class.
Disney's digging up the residual value of Star Wars is nothing more than doing the same thing.
Since the birth of Star Wars, countless movies, TV series, books, and literary works have been spawned into a huge network of symbols, and Lucas's desire to celebrate the spirit of rebellion has finally grown into an old republic-like behemoth. "How Star Wars Conquered the Whole Universe" wrote a very interesting story: some of the Star Wars ashes went deep into the remote Navajo reserve, and there wasn't even a person who knew nothing about Star Wars.
But Star Wars is very old, and its first fans are no longer young. The children who used to laugh at C3PO and were shocked by the Imperial March have gradually moved away from the theater. The old elements of Star Wars that once attracted countless fans have become obstacles to conquering new audiences, and it is necessary to gloriously withdraw from the stage of history. If Disney wants to turn Star Wars into a cash cow that is still prosperous in the new era, it is necessary to carry out cruel metabolism. Some old movie fans couldn't help worrying after watching Star Wars 9: With such frequent consumption feelings, they always have to sit down and eat. In fact, Mickey has been thinking carefully for a long time: feelings are used for consumption. Will the old fans walk into the theater when the next movie is released? It doesn't care.
Since this funeral is going to be extremely mourning, let's just be a little bit more. Rando is here, Luke is here, Palpatine is here, Hansoro is here, even though Princess Leia has passed away, she will have to use the original footage to cut her back. The original Jedi Masters, even if they were Faceless, I have to speak brightly in the voiceover of the decisive battle, remembering the Peking Opera performance in the spring evening. The tribute is stacked with tributes, and the eggs are wrapped in eggs. In the era of information explosion, a lot of searching for "stalks" seems to have become a new entertainment model. Today's Star Wars series, whether it is ideological or scientific, has been difficult to reach the qualified line of "sci-fi works". The emotions of the past can't make up for the exhaustion of imagination, so that the long-awaited old fans are embarrassed: "This is us Star Wars that was crazy and fascinated? "
Now it's time for the Skywalker family to exit: Luke turned into the original force, and Princess Leia's heir was also close behind. He even died twice in Star Wars 9, why bother! Star Wars 9 title "Rise of Skywalker", but what does the Skywalker family sacrifice all for this galaxy? Is Lei inheriting only a surname?
I used to believe that there is a distinction between good and evil in the galaxy, because I believe that the Jedi will not be greedy. Obiwang showed the lightsaber to young Luke: "This is a more elegant weapon, which belongs to a more civilized era." Non-violent. I think the Jedi are elegant because they never show off their ability to control the Force.
But now the Force has been degraded, and it becomes indistinguishable from Marvel's "super power" and Disney's "magic".
The profound meaning of the Force disappeared. In the old works, the profound meaning of the original force comes from religion and history: the understanding of the original force prospered the galaxy civilization, and at the same time, the civilization was also influenced and shaped by the original force. The original force is in parallel with the physical laws we (modern Earth) recognize, and even has a certain generality on the general laws of material movement. From this level, the original force is more similar to an oriental philosophy concept, not very precise, but gentle and honest and widely tolerant. In the age of maintaining peace in the galaxy, the Jedi Order also brought this generally moderate power into the national philosophy of the Old Republic. This allows the Force to surpass the applied science and technology concept of "art" and become a regular, "Tao" existence.
In Star Wars 9, the force induction between Karolyn and Rey can not only transmit sound, images, and even objects over time, but the use of these forces is very bad, and they are all in the storytelling. When speaking. The audience did not realize the magic of the original force, and also destroyed the solemnity of the original force. The poor performance of the play hurts the fantasy charm of the Force. The original force has become a difference beyond the law of the universe from a part of the law of the universe. When "this is the original force" is used to try to smooth out the gaps in all plays, the original force begins to become unreasonable. Because the force at this time is no longer a science fiction hypothesis that can be objectively explored, but the director's microphone and remote control. The force representing the laws of nature has become artificial, and the great Jedi Knight has lost his manner, personality and wisdom, and there is nothing more sad than this.
We all remember that after the end of the Battle of Endo, after seeing Darth Vader, Luke saw his father and Master Yoda, Master Obiwang 's soul manifesting. At that moment, the Force and Luke 's life experience were highly unified, the small history of the Skywalker family and the magnificent history of the Old Republic, the Galactic Empire, reflected each other, and Luke 's personal adventures also had historical significance and surpassed the present. The energy given by self-action. The lives of Jedi Knights and even Sith Warriors are placed in a corresponding relationship. Seeing his father's phantom force Luke, his heart should be amazed and surging. He faced what Shakespeare said: "The long-term rapids." Star wars let the not-so-old American society experience the sense of history The beauty brought, the reincarnation of inheritance and fate. It allows people who are tired of ordinary life to look up at the starry sky, and can draw some thoughts from the distant sky vault: a long time ago, there was a distant galaxy.
The charm of Star Wars is that people have a magnificent expectation and unlimited desire for another life in another world. That is a force that transcends the real world. If there is really force, then it should be thinking about "another life". This kind of thinking always tortures, spurs and comforts human beings, and enables people to make all kinds of actions from thinking to practice. These actions shape us. And Star Wars 9 I saw did not look forward to another way of imagining humanity.
The Force setting has been modified. From the original cosmic wisdom that only a few people can perceive through life-saving practice, it has become a civic class placebo for everyone. The original force no longer exists as a "circle" of the universe, but as a "surgery" that can be manipulated and manipulated by people. This kind of cheap, ostracizing consolation is very good at Hollywood. Dreaming as it is called is actually the same as anesthetic. Abrams and his team accepted without hesitation what this society and this society 's ideological machine told them-indulge in your feelings and be prepared to pay for it-they turned around and handed over these things To the audience. Using the inspiration from the audience's life experience to kill the audience's most needed thinking at the moment, this secret ideological violence is even colder than Palpatine and his final order fleet.
What's even more frightening is that the justice of the rebels and the Jedi came so well as they should be, so straightforward, and without hesitation, they believed that they were the hope and absolute truth of the universe. This unconscious arrogance has brought countless tragedies in history, can it really bring the balance of the universe? Can't think about it anymore. But without the imagination and speculation, most of the soul of science fiction works will dissipate.
In the movie, the rebels triumphed, people flocked, and the whole galaxy was full of red flags, but in reality, the rebels that Lucas had hoped for were ended, and they went to the dark side, although the darkness looked extremely bright.
Our love and hate will gradually enter into forgetting in the yellow sand, just like Tatooine's and Luke's hut shining under the two suns.
This is the moment of decline of the Force.
