"Star Wars" was arguably the first in a new breed of high concept, high budget sci-fi action films. It was directed by George Lucas and originally released in only a few cinemas in 1977. However, the buzz around the film grew, and it is now one of the highest grossing films of all time, and along with its sequels, prequels and re-mastered re-releases, has a large cult following. I feel this is because of Lucas` ability to engage the audience through careful use of sound and camera technique;

George Lucas' film Star Wars There are many different theories to Star Wars, which attracted millions of viewers. These theories made Star Wars what it was, and to some people still is. Made in1977, it was the first of it's kind by
Motion Pictures have always had a strong influence in today’s culture, but maybe none as prevalent as Star Wars. Originating with Episode 4 A New Hope, the series boomed from 1977 to 2005 with yet another addition coming in 2015. The strongest of the series was the original trilogy episodes 4, 5, and 6, all generally released in the 1980s. As one of the strongest film francaises still today, it’s impact within the 1980s was only the tip of the iceberg. Children and adults alike still anticipate the new edition of this seemingly endless journey. If any singular film series still holds prevalence in its future decades it is Star Wars: Original Trilogy.
The movie Shrek is a fairytale that you can watch with family. It’s a movie that not only entertains, but it also teaches valuable lessons. Shrek puts the viewers in awe and gets them excited, so this movie is definitely worth watching! One of the main themes in this movie is the acceptance of people for who they truly are. In this movie we witness a lot of prejudice, or just assumptions. People assume that because someone looks a certain way that they are dangerous. Appearances are deceiving, and this movie shows us exactly that. To begin, you should all know that Shrek is not your normal fairytale. This
Plato was one of the first known people to talk about the theory of archetypes. His idea was that archetypes were imprinted onto people’s soul and their life played out accordingly. Now though, archetypes are used in movies, literature, and to define the human race. In George Lucas’s Star Wars, archetypes are used deliberately in the story. Lucas modeled many of the characters after the “Jungian” archetypes. Some of the prominent archetypes in Star Wars are “Good vs. Evil”, “Hunting Group of Companions”, and the “Initiate”.
Science fiction is broadly defined as a film about the future or alternate realities, often but not always set in space, and frequently incorporating horror elements, science-fiction movies are wildly popular among fans (Goodykoontz, 2014). As a subgenre of fantasy, science fiction enables viewers to relate to themes from an idealized alternative version of reality (Edwards, 2014). Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope is a feature-length film that fits this genre perfectly. Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope unfolds as princess named Leia is held hostage by the evil Imperial forces in their effort to quell the rebellion against the Galactic Empire. Luke Skywalker and a smuggler named Han Solo team together with the lovable droid duo, R2-D2 and C-3PO, to rescue the beautiful princess and restore justice in the galaxy.
The theme of the novel, Everything, everything, is that you must take risks in order to be satisfied with your life.
I think the theme of this film is exploration. I think this because throughout the whole movie it shows how Indiana Jones travels around the world trying to find the Arc. Like in the beginning of the movie it shows him in South America, then it shows him in Washington, and then it shows him going to Cairo. I think the filmmakers are trying to tell us that if we want something, that we should keep on trying until we get it. The filmmakers are successful showing us to not give up if we want something. Like in the beginning of the movie it shows how Jones goes through traps to get this ancient artifact. After he gets it, someone else takes it from him but that doesn’t stop him from getting the Arc. Another example from the movie is when the girl
The visual design in ‘Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope’ transformed the film industry, setting new standards for years to come. Through animation, detailed models, sets and computer-controlled motion photography, George Lucas created a futuristic sci-fi that was realistic and gripping. In Star Wars: A New Hope, one scene stands out from all others: the Binary Sunset scene. One of the most iconic moments from all of Star Wars, the scene uses elements of visual design that display the forces of good and evil, destiny, and most importantly, the recurring theme of hope.
The movie Star Wars Episode 3 The Revenge Of The Sith directed by George Lucas is a great representation of the God teacher versus God Tempter. In this film the character that perfectly shows a God teacher, is Obi – wan Kenobi. Obi – wan Kenobi is the Jedi master of Anakin Skywalker the perceived chosen one. Skywalking is the one that is suppose to bring balance to the force and save the galaxy. The God tempter is Darth Sidious whom is to be the dark lord from the darkside of the force. With all the hardships that Skywalker endures, it leaves his mind cluttered with a decision to make; stay on the good side living in Obi – wan Kenobi's shadow or acquire more knowledge about the hidden powers a Jedi can poses: saving people from death. Anakin gets manipulated by Darth Sidious to join the
The Star Wars franchise has been a beloved series from Lucas Films since the first movie aired in 1977. Since then, the directors have composed a saga of movies that are dramatic and awe inspiring to the audience. In order to perceive what makes these films so popular to the audience, we must analyze the techniques used in one of the saga’s latest installments, Star Wars: Rogue One. This film was an installment meant to be set in the time period between Star Wars 3: The Return of the Sith, and Star Wars 4: A New Hope. The film pictures the events that happened in order to receive the plans for the Death Star, and interstellar spacecraft designed to be capable of destroying entire planets. (could
Star Wars. Just the name itself holds an astonishing weight in the world of film, literature, and even video games and music. With so many works of varying fame and acclaim, almost no other piece of the Star Wars universe is more easily recognised than the 1980 film (the second in the original trilogy), “Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back!” George Lucas, the mastermind behind the film itself, knew from the beginning that this film needed to drive his vision to the satisfying end that it deserved. This included using massive, beautiful set pieces such as Hoth, Cloud City, and Dagobah among others. With these basic introductory statements finished, a thesis is to be stated: How much was the story of Luke Skywalker, as well as the entire Star Wars universe, inspired by the Hero’s Journey formula?
George Lucas, an American filmmaker, is one of the most valued writers of all time for his American epic, “Star Wars”. He lived a good life, born in 1944 and getting into writing movies at a young age. After many award winning films, he wanted something that would be extraordinary, so he created Star Wars. Lucas spent long hours on the movie, working out every detail. He employs many archetypes throughout the movies to teach themes and lessons to its viewers. One of the most important that he implemented were archetypal conflicts. These show character development and hardships that we have to deal with in real life. In the original Star Wars trilogy, George Lucas employs the use of archetypal conflict of seeming vs being, head vs heart, and
