Recommended: Character analysis of luke skywalker

There are many ways that the video “Star Wars Legacy Revealed” connects to my life and my journey. There are three main ideas that connected with my life. The first one is how king arther was the boss and the leader. Through my life my Dad has been the main leader and the king of the house. When ever I got in trouble he would be the one to always yell at me and put me in my place. Even when it wasn't me and it was my brother he would still put my brother in his place. The next reason is how luke was the hero in all the movies when he came into the picture. He was just like odysseus how he was the savior. I always looked at my brother as he was the savior in my eyes. When ever I was having a bad day he was always there to see what was wrong

  • What Are The Similarities Between Batman Begins And Star Wars

    744 Words  | 2 Pages

    It is undeniable that both Batman Begins and Star Wars IV: A New Hope follow the famous formula known as the Hero's Journey. Within both of these movies, there are similarities and differences concerning the path that the hero takes. Both live in a city (or galaxy) where evil is present and very little is being done to stop the villains. Another similarity between the two movies is that both Bruce and Luke grow up most of their lives without knowing their parents as they are dead (or partially dead in Luke's case). When both are given an opportunity to be called to adventure, they both reject because they think they are not significant to make a difference in their cause. Luke considers himself just a farming boy who does not have the ability to save the entire galaxy

  • Dorothy's Heroic Journey in The Wizard of Oz

    To fully appreciate the significance of the plot one must fully understand the heroic journey. Joseph Campbell identified the stages of the heroic journey and explains how the movie adheres meticulously to these steps. For example, the first stage of the hero’s journey is the ordinary world (Campbell). At the beginning, the structure dictates that the author should portray the protagonist in their ordinary world, surrounded by ordinary things and doing ordinary tasks so that the author might introduce the reasons that the hero needs the journey in order to develop his or her character or improve his or her life (Vogler 35). The point of this portrayal is to show the audience what the protagonist’s life is currently like and to show what areas of his or her life are conflicted or incomplete. When the call to adventure occurs, the protagonist is swept away into another world, one that is full of adventure, danger, and opportunities to learn what needs to be learned. T...

    Creatures of Empire, written by Virginia Anderson depicts a compelling account on the role domesticated animals played for the settling colonists and natives in America. The core of the conflict began with differing ideologies surrounding the treatment of animals as components in their respective communities. The colonists from England believed in dominion rule over the animals. Complete control was essential in their domestication of the livestock; this control existed within the values of their religion, making domination a vital part of their society. The natives on the other hand believed in manitous. This was the belief of an animal spirit, one that practiced the value of reciprocity--not strictly dominion as colonist views encompassed.

    Many of the stories that have been told for centuries, or have recently been created, incorporate the story of a young innocent character who embarks on a journey and becomes a hero, known as The Hero’s Journey; a series of steps that all heroes follow. This journey not only shows the main character becoming a hero but also shows the hero move along a path similar to that of adolescence, the path between childhood and maturity. The Hero’s Journey was created by a man by the name of Joseph Campbell. He wrote a book called The Hero with One Thousand Faces, a novel containing a variety of stories that follow the steps of the Hero’s Journey. One famous creation that follows The Hero’s Journey is the science fiction film trilogy: Star Wars, created by George Lucas.

    George Lucas wrote and directed Star Wars, he had tons of creative and production control just like Hitchcock. Furthermore, the film demonstrates his aesthetic vision through recurring themes of good verse evil, heroes fighting for good and saving the day. Lastly, the film demonstrates thematic and stylistic consistencies to create the meaningful narrative. One thing that stands out from Star Wars that illustrates George Lucas’ control over the production is the credits. He did not want the credits at the beginning of the film so the audience can focus on the narrative. In the late 1950’s the auteur theory was introduced to filmmaking which created a new way of making films. Auteur theory went against the classical narrative by focusing on realism. Auteur films had ambiguous endings, which deeper into the character’s physiological state. Even though, Star Wars demonstrates certain auteur elements, it does not go against the classical narrative. To conclude, Star Wars mixed classical Hollywood techniques with the auteur theory that lead to a different and unique way of making a

  • The Last Jedi Movie Analysis

    1488 Words  | 3 Pages

    Some of the major events include a “death” scene of General Leia Organa and the training of Rey with Master Skywalker. At the start of the movie The First Order and the Resistance are in a standoff after Resistance bombers destroyed on of the biggest ships The First Order had. In an attempt to end the Resistance, Kylo Ren and a few Stormtroopers hope to end the Resistance. When faced with the choice to blast Leia and the other commanders, Kylo cannot bring himself to do it. The reason behind this is because Leia is his mother. While Kylo was able to kill his father with no guilt, he cannot do the same with his mother. As Kylo backs off the trigger, a stormtrooper finishes the job and blasts Leia and the other commander into space. As Kylo flies away, Leia is seen floated in space, stiff and still. This came as quite a shock to the audience but at the same time we expected it due to the death of the actor, Carrie Fisher. When Leia is out in space, portrayed as being dead, her hand moves and she uses the force to bring herself back to what is left of the ship (The Last Jedi). The scene has been described as the “trippy scene in which a character floats into resurrection” (Dargis 8). This is the first time in the Star Wars Saga that Leia has used the force. Because Leia is a Skywalker, the force is very strong with her, but no one could’ve predicted that she could save her own life by using the
