Big Universal Themes

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2019)

This is a story about parents and children - and adopting a family. Just as Episodes IV through VI dealt with Luke redeeming his father, this movie also deals with redemption. It also deals with another universal theme about how those who are evil isolate their victims and convince others that their impulses to help are foolish, vain, and solitary. The truth in life - we hope - and in this film is the opposite. Just as the townspeople save George Bailey in "It's a Wonderful Life", "people" come to the rescue of our heroes. They called Capra's movies "Capracorn" but they become classic beloved films. So too will this Star Wars film.
I loved the film. It has tear jerking scenes that the naysay reviewers likely couldn't accept. If you believe in redemption and that good people make a difference, then you'll love this film.
