Why Star Wars was such a Ground Breaking Movie
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
Obi-Wan Kenobi to help Princess Leia destroy the Death Star. The
droids meet Luke and they find Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke joins them on
their mission. They meet Han Solo who helps them out, they get into
the ‘Death Star’ where they find Princess Leia imprisoned and they
rescue her and then they try and defeat the ‘Death Star’ with the help
of Luke and in the end Han Solo helps Luke and they destroy the ‘Death
Star’ and get rewarded. There are many reason for it being such a
ground breaking movie, I will be looking at the many different aspects

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.
Luke goes through many initiations during his journey. He is initiated to the loss of loved ones with the deaths of his Aunt and Uncle and eventually Obi-wan. He is initiated to the way the world really works by spending time in the Mos Eisley Cantina. He is also initiated to battle during the groups amazing escape from the Deathstar. The final step in Luke’s journey is the return.
the first pilot of the franchise Star Trek was released, and with the premier of STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE in 1977, Geeks, nerds, and overall fanatics have had a debate ever since over which Sci-fi magnate made for the best cinematic entertainment. I would like to personally settle this argument with four main points in favor of the better movie franchise: STAR WARS. My four points are: 1. STAR WARS has better weapons, 2. STAR WARS has better villains, 3. STAR WARS has better music, and finally, 4. Star Trek is less of a motion picture ICON than STAR WARS.....
The first idea I will be looking at is that Star Wars is a type of

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.
Imagine flying through a ice covered planet or zooming through the sand plains of tattoine or battling against the dark side next to Luke Skywalker well sounds amazing right? These are the things that make the Star Wars universe so fascinating in the upcoming paragraphs about how Star Wars has elements of story, that make Star Wars so popular. Star Wars is a cultural institution of immense proportions. Its impact on Hollywood alone has been incalculable. It’s impossible to imagine Raiders of the Lost Ark, E.T., The Matrix, or The Lord of the Rings without Star Wars. Yes because all these movies have been impacted from Star Wars they all transfer you to a different era from you fighting off Nazis to walking into mordor.
Star Wars is a science fiction adventure novel. The symbolism and characterization was really excellent in the story. The story gives a great look into the future as it has many different types of things we have not yet invented; blaster rifles, space ships that go the speed of light, fat alien slugs, and beam swords. The plot of the story sucks you into the novel and makes you want to continue reading the novel.

A tale as old as time itself, star crossed lovers, separated by forces bigger than themselves, crossing cultural boundaries to be together and paying the ultimate price. Our story starts in New York, New York, 1936. Joseph and Kelly had always been together, and now Joseph was going to study abroad and visit family in Germany. The two hugged and said their goodbyes as Joseph boarded the boat and took off. Kelly heard from him every day, until all at once the letters came with part blacked out with thick, heavy ink. Kelly became very concerned with the censorship of the letters and received no communication from Joseph about it, or maybe they did, and it was just redacted by the German censor bars. Things continued like this for awhile, then
While political and economic effects might be easier to see, social effects can sometimes be overshadowed but there are still tons of social aspects imprinting on the societal putty. One major social effect from movies involves the birth of a religion. In the current time, most religions have already been developed far too much for anyone to even think of creating a new one but yet again, pop culture surprises the world. The religion in question was solely based upon a film franchise started in 1977 that is now a household name among many. This franchise is Star Wars. In the Star Wars films there are many characters who identify themselves as Jedi. Most of the protagonists are Jedi and they describe the Jedi way as more of a lifestyle and
In Star Wars, the “Force” represents personal willpower that including self-control, spiritually fearlessness, and perseverance. Science technology can be understandable from learning, but the “Force” is similar to a type mysterious power from the spirit, and gained through trials and tribulation, its uncommon and only for people who is talented and gifted (Luke, Jedi Warrior). Luke learned the “Force” and became a hero which is a perfect example of American Dream, The American Dream is the most direct way of personal heroism. Life should conquer difficulties and challenges in different environments, thus unstopping overcome, strengthen yourself, to pursuit happiness and value of your life.
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 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.
