Star Wars Movie Analysis

The film “Cool Hand Luke” Directed by Stuart Rosenberg was released in 1967. It was about how Luke goes through his time in prison. The other film that relates to this film is “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” directed by Miloš Forman was released in 1975. It was about how Randle was put in a psych ward because everyone thinks he’s crazy but helps the other patients and like Luke, Randle both films had Propp's theory on narrative structure where there are the traditional seven characters and the main characters were “heroes” but they don’t seem like heroes. They use camera angles to show how the characters in both films can be known as role models and not heros.

In the movie Cool Hand Luke, Luke Jackson (Paul Newman) is arrested for cutting the heads off the town’s parking meters. His punishment seems extreme, as he is sentenced to two years on a chain gang at a Florida prison. Although Luke received several decorations in the war, including the silver star, he never rises above a private in the Army. This suggests perhaps he has a resentment for those in authority.

“Do or do not,” says Yoda, in the acclaimed science fiction movie Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, “there is no try” (Empire). This quote is perhaps the most famous of the character’s, and perhaps one of the most famous in the whole franchise. It highlights an idea that the scene perpetuates: the fact you intend to do something doesn’t matter, only whether or not it is done. This is not a perfect metaphor for the application of knowledge, but it fits in rather easily. Without an effect, an application, all you have is abstract knowledge – that trying that Yoda denies – and in that way value has been diminished. Two areas of knowledge which especially highlight the values and limitations of that claim are the natural sciences and religion.

The film, Cool Hand Luke, directed by Stuart Rosenberg and produced by Gordon Carroll, was released in November 1967. It is an American prison drama film about a former soldier who is sent to jail for taking the heads off of parking meters. Luke, the protagonist, is sentenced to two years in a chain gang prison ran by severe guardians. If the prisoners violate the rules it results in spending the night in the “box”, which is a small room with limited air and limited space to move. Most of them follow every rule, while Luke is alienated at the prison. He does not take the regulations seriously, which always gets him into trouble. This film presents several examples of religious symbolism and themes which will be analyzed through the character of Luke, which is often applied in the film to add depth to his character.

A “composite” of the character, including film or book title, personal/demographic information of their characteristics of giftedness, and any unique challenges they face are provided.

The romance genre is our vision of an ideal and innocent world. In our imagination, this world is full of hope and possibility. Romance shows a place where people are at their happiest and in their most desirable circumstances. It usually is associated in the summer, and always starts positively and ends positively. Star Wars IV:

When George Lucas released Star Wars in 1977, it would be reasonable to assume he possessed some level of expectations regarding how his film saga would affect and alter the lives of its audience. What he may not have anticipated, however, is that his fictional protagonists, the Jedi Order, and their respective philosophies would resonate so strongly within particular individuals to such an extent that it would provide the foundation for the establishment of a new interpretation of reality; this philosophical movement is perceived by many as a religious movement and, to some extent, a new religion in and of itself. Today, the church of “Jediism” is said to have accumulated thousands of followers across the globe and is recorded as being the seventh-largest religion in the United Kingdom (DailyMail). While there is speculation that the census results which produced these figures may be inconclusive due to insincere responses, it is widely accepted that Jediism is a very real concept for many groups of individuals, one that affects their philosophical outlook as well as their everyday life.

When we first meet Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) he is living with his Uncle Owen (Phil Brown) and Aunt Beru (Shelagh Fraser) as a farmhand helping them take care of their land. Trying to grow and wanting to become more of an adult, he speaks to his uncle and aunt about leaving and enrolling early into the academy before the next harvest, upset,

Throughout time, stories of heroes have been told. Ranging from stories from Ancient Greece to Modern-day films. Russian folklorist Vladimir Propp in 1928 published Morphology of the Folktale detailing how all heroic stories can be divided into functions that must be followed. These 31 functions broke all heroic stories down into pieces that the hero must overcome. Starting from the abstention of a member close to the hero and ending in being wedded. I will be applying these units to the popular modern day film of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. In this film, I found that there are 24 of Vladimir Propp’s units used that define Luke Skywalker’s journey through the galaxy far far away.

The Breakfast Club, Jaws, Star Wars. Major films that have reached the utmost level of recognition. They have become iconic in the film industry, and culturally consecrated by society. The films society deems worthy of such a recognition have shifted over the years, due to how society has shifted. Due to their popularity, it raises the question if movies which involve superheros could ever rise to such a title. If they can, which ones would be able to hold this honor? All of them? Only a select few that hold a strong following? Wonder Woman, one of the newest superhero films from Warner Brothers and DC comics has not only the ability to rise to this level, but also to stake its claim in the film industry to be used as inspiration later on

'Star Wars IV, A New Hope' written by Alan Dean Foster is an adaptation of the motion picture 'Star Wars IV, A New Hope'. This novel is canon and included in the Star Wars universe. It is about a war raging on in space. As per the opening text, this war took place "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away". Just like the film, a young moisture farmer named Luke comes across an old, mysterious hermit who was a former Jedi Knight. Luke gains the possession of two droids (Artificial Intelligence robots). The Galactic Empire are on the lookout for these droids and Luke comes home to find his aunt and uncle dead. The hermit, Luke, and the droids set off into space to join the rebellion and save the galaxy. This novel gives me a sense of excitement

Paul Newman’s Oscar winning performance in Cool Hand Luke left the country with one of the memorable phases in film history.
