Shakespearean play, with the constant death and subterfuge throughout the play, is considered the most intense and complex tragedy, and being that special kind of tragedy Macbeth is. It has left a template for modern epics such as, the fall of Anakin Skywalker from George Lucas’s, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, and like Macbeth, Star Wars is just as complex. Shakespeare’s last tragedy was a type of wonder because it was not

REVENGE OF THE SITH Star Wars, Episode III This story happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. It is already over. Nothing can be done to change it. It is a story of love and loss, brotherhood and betrayal, courage and sacrifice and the death of dreams. It is a story of the blurred line between our best and our worst. It is the story of the end of an age. A strange thing about stories— Though this all happened so long ago and so far away that words cannot describe the time

President, they had a clone army which is like the U.S. Army, they had the Jedi council which would have been similar to the Justices in the Judicial Branch, and a Galactic Senate which would have been similar to the United States Senate. Padme Skywalker said in the movie, “So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause.” The leaders of the government are not making the best choices which is ruining the government and the society. One of the main characters introduced was Chancellor
no true answers one can provide, there are multiple reasons: influential hold of the media, expectations of society, and the internal conflict of right and wrong. Through research there are characters just like China and Jeremy. For example, Anakin Skywalker from the Star Wars series, is a top notch candidate to compare to China while The media is and always has been an issue when it comes to an individual’s moral compass.

Star Wars is a science fiction universe, created by the minds of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, which has been taking the world by loved since the 70’s. With its only main competitor being Star Trek, Star Wars has becoming ever more popular ever since its first red carpet premiere in 1977. There are six known movies, 2 different cartoon television series, countless merchandise sold, and much more. Recently Disney spent $4 billion for the ownership rights of the franchise. Was this a good idea
In the third film of the Star Wars saga, young Jedi by the name of Anakin Skywalker ascended the ranks of the Jedi Order; he was powerful, but was overly confident and rebellious in following the laws in place by the Jedi. Since he was young, the Jedi feared the power he held at such a young age, and since he did not fit the typical Jedi mold, he was rejected from progressing through the Jedi ranks even further. This left Anakin distraught and vulnerable, leading to his temptation to the dark side
From Homer’s Odyssey to Star Wars - The Unchanging Path of the Hero In the fiction world heroes have been one of the most entertaining figures. It has always been fun and interesting to read about heroic stories and about different obstacles that heroes had overcome. When someone mentions the word "hero" it is more likely to think of characters like Batman or James Bond, but it is for sure that if we had the chance to ask the same question centuries before, the answer would have been different
Power is both a good and evil thing. With power, a person has the potential to change the world. With power, a person’s words would be so influential, that anything would be possible. But when a person uses power for evil, it could possibly provoke the most horrible events imaginable. One person who used power for evil was a character from the movie Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith created by George Lucas. The characters name was Chancellor Palpatine. In a span of about fifteen years, he
The Star Wars prequels were hated by a lot of people but, are they that bad? Some complaints against the prequels have been restated over and over again so much so that it’s just accepted as fact that the prequels are horrible movies that “ruined star wars” but are they? It didn’t live up to the hype leading up to the first movie but how could it? Showing Darth Vader the great mysterious villain as the eight year old boy nick named Annie was an odd choice destroying the mystery of one of the greats
There are many instances of covert racism, Social Darwinism, and sexism in the movie franchise Star Wars. For instance, native population as dispensable cannon fodder is a recurring theme in the films. During the Battle of Endor in Episode VI, Luke and his companions ally themselves with the short, cuddly, teddy-bear-like Ewoks, which are depicted as a primitive race. In the battle, scores of Ewoks are killed and sacrificed as Han Solo leads a rebel strike force to destroy the Death Star's shield
A movie is a set of images that tells us a story. The reason for them being so popular is because they allow us to escape from our ordinary lives into a completely different setting. Filmmakers use a range of cinematic techniques to build tension and engage the audience. Using the opening scene of Star Wars, I am going to analyse how George Lucas has used camera angles and movement; costume; lighting and special effects; music and sound effects and shot length in order to do so. To begin with, by
Everyone enjoys a superb movie here and there, and every person, including me, has their opinions about the ending. Some made me endlessly cheerful. Some mad me cry. Others had me fuming with anger. The fact exist that after a viewer is done watching various movies within these three different categories, they’ll have different emotions towards the finale. But when talking about a movie with a strong ending I generally have the same opinion as everyone else. With this in mind ‘Howl’s
The beloved movie musical ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ is finally getting the remake treatment. After nearly ten years of speculation, the project has finally been picked up by Fox, with famed director and choreographer Kenny Ortega at the helm. Since the original film was released in 1975, fans have completely taken over the film, attending audience participation screenings all around the world for over forty years. So it’s no wonder that the news of a remake has garnered serious backlash.
Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One draws on so many pop culture references and dizzying adventure sequences, one might forget that the filmmaker is 71 years young. At times, the iconic filmmaker feels as energized as he's been in years, and in other moments, he seems as if he is desperately curious to figure out and understand just what all these crazy kids are into nowadays. And during Ready Player One's 140 minutes, we get the good and the bad that comes with Spielberg's breakneck, gamer's paradise
