metadigital Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 ... Criteria No. 3 - Story Themes and Symbolism The Matrix None. Star Wars Cold, gut-tangling paranoia. That's the key to the Star Wars tales. The central meaning in both trilogies is our modern need for protection and safety against the cold, uncaring horror of existence. The films unflinchingly portray disaster after disaster for all who are left unprotected for even a moment; we see women's need to constantly be protected (and rescued) by men, man's own need to always be protected and kept aloft by catwalk railings in a world where they are still millennia away from invention, a space station exhaust shaft's need to be protected by a hard covering or at least some protective grating to stop foreign objects. It is a theme that resonates in these new, dangerous times unlike any other. Who is protecting your exhaust shaft, America? As if this were somehow not enough, Lucas shocks us with a point of view that is almost heresy in a 21st Century USA. Lucas believes it is justified to destroy the inhabitants of a large building, if it facilitates the means of those called to martydom by The Force. Further, aggressive military action is never to be unilateral and pre-emptive. Han Solo knows he is in mortal danger in the Cantina scene... but he waits until Greedo fires before responding with deadly force. This is a lesson a certain American President could learn. The Lord of the Rings ... American civil rights activist Martin Luther King, in his famous 1968 speech, pleaded to "let freedom ring" across the land, "ringing" in a new era of racial harmony. In Bakshi's film, we have that very "ring" in our hands, the "ring" of freedom and racial equality, the "ring" that will let every white and black child play with race-blind eyes. Frodo's mission is to destroy the ring. The Orcs are to be wiped out, not integrated into society. The elves are to slowly die off, not to be merged with the world of man. ... ... >factor 12x: no monkeys vs. no monkeys vs. no monkeys ... How to Write a Screenplay in 72 Hours. George Lucas.

Cantousent Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Okay, I expect this sort of thing out of Mr. Gutman, but not from the rest of you. If you don't stop all this, then baley himself will visit this thread, then it will only go downhill. Back on topic or the thread gets it! The link is.... weird. Clearly, however, they were wrong. Lucas is underrated. He gets a 10.
