The movie that broke the wheel

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2018)

The more I think about this movie the more I realize this is actually doing what the "Targaryen Girl" said in Season 5... This is the movie that broke the wheel. This movie "broke" not only the Star Wars traditional narrative but also the whole narrative we've been following since The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings books where released way back in the 50s... This is a movie that dares to deconstruct good vs evil, the same narrative so present in Tolkiens books and that inspired a whole era of cinema including Star Wars (the original trilogy can be very easily summarized to Lotr in Space) Game of Thrones is an attempt to do this but still there are the good guys one roots for and based on the latest season that's where the show is headed, and will be another lotr based fantasy show in the end (to probably the dismay of many).
The Last Jedi clearly states and destroys the good guys and the baddies. Getting rid of the Jedi and the evil Snoke is the complete obliteration of this and so well portrayed when Rey and Ren are fighting for the lightsaber in perfect balance...
This is the reason why people hate this movie as it is no longer clear who is ultimately good or evil and, from what happened in the flashbacks to the idea that either Rey or Ren will turn, to Poe's conflicts with leadership and ultimately this very same leadership awkward decision making process... At the same time that brief moment with the decoder guy basically showing that the Rebels and the Empire are the same is the final nail in the coffin... imagine if the the Elves and Dwarves in Lotr got their same weapons technology from the same guys that provides weapons for Sauron... This is basically what happened.
Good v.s. Evil in a battle that ultimately always Good wins, is dead. There is no longer the traditional good or evil in fantasy, just a constant balance between forces that if it is not uphold it will always lead to tragedy and decay. The triumph of Good is now a balance where Good cannot live without Evil and vice-versa. And this traditional dichotomy now broken is Historically very hazy in real life. The winners are always the good guys of history and the losers the bad guys... If the Empire had destroyed completely the rebels before wouldn't they portray themselves as the good guys and the rebels as the bad guys? There is no civilization that in the past turned to their enemies and said "you where the good guys, sorry for winning the battles and invading your country". There is always only a recognition of atrocities committed in times of war but that normally goes both ways in an attempt to establish peace between countries establishing again a peaceful balance. So this may very well be what will happen in the end of Star Wars.
Funny though, some decades back, the Legends trilogy from Dragonlance was on point about this and probably where the first ones to effectively do this in a fantasy book.
Lastly, keep in mind this is the second movie in what appears to be a sextology and the absolute slap in the face this movie gave to the fantasy genre continues in the next 4 movies, these movies will be in cinematic history as this one already is... (despite the bandwagonish online outcry that is trying to kill the success of this movie)...
