There are many reason for ‘Star Wars’ being such a ground breaking
movie. ‘Star Wars’ is a science fiction film, a science fiction
includes new world and civilisations that are discovered and aliens
are featured in a lot of science fiction films, the setting of the
films are usually set in the future and where the world is in danger.
There are some characters that are computer generated and they sue
special effects for fighting scenes when they use lasers. These are
some of the things that are included in that particular genre.
The plot of ‘Star Wars’ is simple and easy to understand. The hero
Luke Skywalker lives on the planet Tatooine and wants to get off the
planet, but his uncle wants him to help for the next harvest.
Meanwhile in the galaxy an evil force is destroying planets that gets
in its way, the ship is called the Death Star. Princess Leia, the
leader of the Rebel alliance sends 2 droids to give a message to

into the sci-fi film. He got his ideas from Japanese films made by
Kurasawa. The religion was based on Samurais. I think that the reasons
for ‘Star Wars’ being a ground breaking movie because it had special
effects that made it more realistic and affective and builds up the
audience’s excitement, the aliens were something new to the audience
and they had human qualities that could be compared with themselves
and the religion that was based on an eastern religion which helped
the audience to understand eastern religion through the films. A
sci-fi movie normally only have aspects that make it a sci-fi but
‘Star Wars’ made it also a fairy tale. These reasons make the film
more interesting and appealing to the audience as they can learn and
compare themselves with some of the aspects that are included in the
film.
In the movie Cool Hand Luke, Lucas Jackson is first found, drunk and cutting the heads off
The movie introduces a WWII veteran, Luke, who gets sent to jail and immediately dislikes the culture and norm. Luke witnesses the inmates take orders from both the de factor leader Dragline, as well as for the warden for nearly every task from working to eating. During their day labor, he also notices that the inmates work in unison; they work in a slow, steady pace where no one does better than the other. This dislike for uniformity creates a uncomfortable atmosphere for Luke, so he decides to start challenging authority. This is manifested when Luke enters a boxing match with Dragline. The boxing match ensues and Luke is determined to defeat Dragline, but his endeavor is futile as he fails to beat Dragline.
The “Star Wars” franchise is familiar to most, and may be the easiest in which to discover the hero’s journey. In “Star Wars,” we find young Luke Skywalker, a rebellious youth, living on a farm on the isolated planet of Tatooine, taken in by his aunt and uncle following the death of his mother and father. Luke grows up with dreams of flying through the stars, only dreams until his chance meeting with Ben Kenobi. Kenobi informs Luke of his real past: that his father was a Jedi knight and that Luke was destined to become great. Though Kenobi’s guidance and Luke own adventurous spirit, he finds himself pushed into an intergalactic quest to become a valiant Jedi in a galaxy controlled by the evil Empire.
Many heroes have to defeat a threshold guardian. In Luke Skywalker’s case, Darth Vador is that threshold guardian. When the Rebels are trying to destroy the death star, Luke is faced with the difficulty of choosing between trusting the Force or a machine to help him dodge Darth Vador’s laser blasts. Han Solo and his sidekick, Chewbacca, play a role in helping Luke here. They surprisingly reappear in their junky pirate ship and shoot down one of Vador’s wingmen. Vador’s other wingman is startled by the oncoming ship and swerves into Darth Vador’s ship damaging one of his wings and sending him spinning out into space.
These action packed scenes are filled with all types of explosives, gun fire, and kung-fu. One of the scene was when Han gets captured and says, “Let me go and I let you live”, but the gang laughs at the thought of one Asian defeating about nine of them. Han gets free and fights them while dodging bullets and using the objects around him to his advantage. One of the objects he finds is a fire hose that he uses to blast the guns off their hands. He even uses the fire hose as a spear, a chain, a whip, and even a mace. As “Romeo” escapes, he goes to look for his “Juliet...

The collapse of Soviet Russia (USSR) and the overall end to the Cold War can be greatly accredited to a program conceived during the Reagan administration known as Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). Proposed by U.S. President Ronald Reagan on March 23, 1983 the program was eventually nicknamed "Star Wars" by many in the media after the popular 1977 film by George Lucas. The idea was, simply put, a defensive shield surrounding America that would use ground and space-based systems to protect the United States from attack by strategic nuclear ballistic missiles. Soon after its debut many declared that it would accomplish nothing more then increase military spending and create friction among the world's “super powers”. Although the program was very expensive it did help, if not result in America's success in the the permanent end to the USSR already ailed by wars in the middle east and nuclear disasters on Soviet soil.
The Star Wars Trilogy seems to embody within the form of cinema many of the classic elements of epic. In tracing the English epic from the Homeric odes to Tom Jones on the large screen and observing the various forms of epic development in response to changing cultural needs, it shows how the Star Wars Trilogy shares the purposes and cultural functions as well as the devices of traditional epic. And by connecting these films to epic, I hope to illuminate how the evolving genre of epic may assume the cinematic form.
Ridley Scott is who I chose because he has produced and directed a range of very successful films in multiple genres and has made a remarkable impact on the film industry. He has directed as many as 22 films to date and produced more than 45 films in his film career so far. I believe he has proven himself a force to be reckoned with in the film industry. While he has at times received criticism for some of his films, he has also been declared as one of the best in the film industry. Scott has directed a number of films that where seen as flops but he has also had far more films that have been a phenomenal success. I will look at some styles, techniques and film making practices used by Scott accompanied by achievements, critical acclaim and
George Lucas's devotion to timeless storytelling and cutting-edge innovation has resulted in some of the most successful and beloved films of all time.

'The broken globe'; by Henry Kreisel tells the story of a father and a son torn apart by their differing views of the world. Another story which I feel parallels this story in certain aspects is the 1977 classic 'Star Wars'; by George Lucas. In Star Wars, Luke Skywalker, a young farmboy on a backwater world, receives a lightsabre from Obi Wan Kenobi, this inspires an urge to leave his world and learn to be a Jedi. One of the conflicts Luke must face is his Uncle Owen who wishes him to stay on his world and be a farmer. When Luke finally does leave he becomes very successful.
The Reasons Behind the Popularity of Action Films In this essay I am going to explore the conventions of action films and their popularity. People love action films, and when they go to see one there are conventions you would expect to see in the film All plots of action films are based on the same outline, Hero and villain meet, there's a disruption of order, and mission, then everything is sorted out when the villain dies and everything returns to normal. There are Stock characters that you expect to see in this genre of film, the hero, the villain and two attractive ladies. The main action is around a male hero, however, modern films have featured female heroines for example Angelina Jolie in 'Tomb Raider'. If the hero is male he is always good looking, intelligent, brave, chauvinistic, and manages to escape from life threatening situations, however the hero will always have a weakness, and if the hero is male the weakness is normally women.
Movies are a worldwide phenomenon, but why are some movies academy award winners while others plummet in the box office. I believe there are five major factors that go into creating a successful film beginning with the storyline, script, directing, sincere chemistry as well as realism. Script writing that is genuine and one an audience member can connect to is crucial; as is having a plot that doesn’t move so fast, and is able to seamlessly transition into different scenes.
