These are the stink wars of the smoker
Today at the box office the film "Star Wars. Episode VII: Awakening of power. " Yesterday, we explained why it was the whole world that lost his mind because of these films, and today the filmmaker will tell you about the new film and why it leaves a sense of confusion behind. Attention: there are few unimportant spoilers. Thank you!
On Tuesday, I and a hundred more like me, dull journalists were the first to see the “awakening of power” in Russia. I was never so scary in the cinema: George Lucas planned to independently remove the continuation of the Star Wars, and for the last trilogy he had his own ideas and plots - but it was done by completely different people. Having spent half his life on this space epic, Lucas, of course, wanted to move on as a director, because the main work of the director is to create a world. Faced with a negative reaction to the trilogy-cone, he felt how he loses freedom (a typical situation for all seer, who begin to fabulously sell well). His attempt to be a guide to the world of Star Wars for Disney also failed: the company wanted to use its own successful mythological and marketing strategy, and the director’s copyright ideas would only prevent the sales car at full capacity. The creative democratic leader of the Star Wars of the Universe, which allowed the characters to live his life, handed over to the absolute capitalist monarch. Frozen before viewing in a spaceship hall with a huge lobe aimax porthole, many probably thought: will the new lord will be a merciful to my beloved universe?
The new episode, as the company Disney planned, for fans. Each appearance of a familiar object or character on the screen causes a storm of applause in the hall. The fragment of the imperial ship in the desert, the return of a thousand -year -old falcon, the appearance on the screen of the elderly Khan Solo in the “same jacket” and with jokes about long -standing adventures, the old woman Leia and their conversants from the old grumpy spouses, the complaint about the offspring that had repelled from the hands of the offspring and, of course, not plunging into the C3PO and plunged into TUSK R2D2.
If you love the Star Wars and found them to the holes, then the khan Solo Solo Solo Solo with you in the feeling: “Chewie, We're Home”. The classical aesthetics of space showdowns is reproduced so accurately that neither the improvement of technologies in reality, nor the technological progress of several decades in the reality of the film violate a single visual style, causing in memory the familiar tactile sensations from sandy planets, a rough timid of adventure and glossy symmetry of the form of attack aircraft. And every time a new episode quotes its predecessors, I hear a fatty piece of a nostalgic bait slapping right in front of my nose. And yet: by the nose, eagerly inhaling the aroma of familiar cosmic delight, they, frankly, drive me.
Those who have never seen original episodes due to age (or other, mysterious for me, reasons) will be torn from the cinema and drawn into the screen action instantly: despite the abundance of quotes, you can enter the cinema on the move. Perhaps the new generation, who did not delve into the original philosophy of power, will be even easier to watch the seventh episode: you will not have to drive a grinding sense of loss from the heart. The familiar to superhero films - the main sources of large -budget franchises - a new generation of moviegoers is unlikely to notice the catch (maybe not even teaching a subtle difference between the first and second trilogies). Now one of the main characters of the franchise was the girl performed by the novice English actress Daisy Ridley, surprisingly thin and personally defeating me with his manner of running: if somewhere in the cinema there was a “run” according to Carlos Castaneda-then her.
The head of the attack aircraft in the seventh episode is also a woman, similar to the daughter of an attack aircraft and an iron lumberjack, is an extremely attractive character, it is a pity that dubbing does not allow you to hear the original sound of her voice. The best application of the acting abilities of Brienne Tart.
The biggest discovery was the acting debut of the BB8 droid in the role of itself: its spherical structure with a moving head and a more anthropomorphic, unlike its predecessor, the sound makes it something between a child and an animal woman.
Of course, the droid is already on sale for $ 149: he knows how to ride, twist his head and squeak sweetly.
Whatever it is written in the press about the Star Wars - all the same will go to the film, because the duty of every fan is to incur this heavy burden with me. Do not go to the fortuneteller: Disney company will work at the only rental of this film $ 2,400,000 000 - just two times less than George Lucas (4,100,000,000) for all rights, and the Episode VII is only the first of the six new films that are waiting for us. Together with a galactically countless amount of goods, the income of the seventh episode should amount to about 9,500,000,000 dollars: this is approximately like a GDP of a small state, for example, Montenegro or Sierra Leone. Since the leadership of the new manager of Bob Aiger, Disney bought Pixar (born, by irony, also from Star Wars), Marvel, along with the entire franchise of the Avengers, and now Lucasfilm, along with the rights to all immense merchandising - it has turned into an economic unit of state scale, but also into the largest player on The cultural arena, which monopolized modern mythology. We have already talked about how important myths are for collective consciousness : the mythological industry is the key to the collective mind, to the picture of the world. Anti -utopists are afraid of chipping - but it may simply not be useful, because the film industry does not just produce films: it creates worlds in which you can live and satisfy the deep needs of the psyche.
Viruses are localized in the heart of the cell, in DNA, and replace information about the squirrel in it: Thus, the cage continuing reproduction does not reproduce itself - but the DNA of the virus. So the insidious ghost of Mickey Mouse penetrated the body of the Star Wars and began to multiply in its greenhouse conditions (I can’t resist and I will send you to the episode “Saus of the Park” , which greatly describes the modern character of the shark of Mickey Mouse). It turned out to be not difficult to diagnose a disease with a 100 % death (creative - but not financial): this is the capitalist cancer of the Star Wars.
With the hands and money of nostalgiars of Disney parents, he will attract a herd of minor neophytes to the franchise, which for some reason passed the star obsession-and this infantilization of the discourse is striking.
Hiding under the mask of Kylo Rena, the rising theater and cinema star Adam Driver turned into the young reincarnation of the evil good wizard of Severus Sngg from Harry Potter (it would not be bad to recapture the audience that has already been tilted through new magic). A small and unimportant spoiler: a blasphemous analogy with Harry Potter also asks because instead of Darth Sidius as a dark lord appears a huge hologram, similar simultaneously to a cat-burned cat and chief villain of Wlan de Mortia. This transformation is a consequence of the departure of the creators of the new episode from the Lukas principle of humanity of evil: he created Dart Sidius and Darth Mola intentionally humane, so that the viewer could identify himself with evil, whose representatives are one hundred percent of people. This alarming prerequisite for philosophical reflection on itself is completely abrasion with the advent of this huge ghost of the burnt lemur.
The plot features of the seventh episode can be combined with the name “Renaissance of the stamps”: inverted in a different way, the motives of previous films are repeated. Here we will find abandoned Jedi children, incredible power in an ignoramus from the lower layers of society, throwing a talented young man from light to darkness, the struggle of the father and son. As well as a new version of the death star: twenty times more and more powerful, but with exactly the same bug in development as that of his distant ancestor.
In the world of Star Wars, the decline of the Jedi, as at the beginning of the first trilogy, again begins - however, the lack of faith in the minds of the creators is also striking.
In the new episode, power becomes more like magic, which can be owned and made with its help - the status of spiritual teaching disappears, more concentrated on hereditary factors. By the way, about heredity: new episodes adopted the idea of generic injuries too literally. Perhaps the phrases with the words “father” or “son” look here not as a deep revelation, but as a meme. Strength awakens: the characters of the Star Wars are actively propagated. The rapid development of the Brazilian and Mexican series comes to mind. Since Disney planned to remove the trilogy “for fans” and to please the audience in everything, we will see one offspring for sure: I think that Jah Ja Binks was sterilized at the request of the audience before destroying his underwater lads. In Hollywood, the most beloved character is Khan Solo (and I love Joda and Vader most of all).
What happened to the new episode of the Star Wars is essentially the same thing for which the faithful fans have hated another trilogy about Dart Vader: the more money brought the franchise, the less tr-philosophy remained, due to which the floodplain of the IV and V of the IV and V parts remained in humanitarian thought. In IV - VI episodes, all political and military ups and downs were unfolding in the semantic environment of the teachings of strength. In her context, the adventure of the Jedi was a clear illustration of the provisions of the philosophical system based on the alloy of world spiritual practices. Any practitioner could become a Jedi: in fact, the word “Jedi” stolen from Japanese cinema, which was approximately the same meaning that “samurai”, “yogin” or “sadhaka”. In the I - III parts, it suddenly turns out that the force is inherited genetically, that is, the idea of awareness as the main power of the Jedi disappears. Moreover, the Jedi turn out to be the Cerberus of the political system, ready to thoughtlessly chop all socially dangerous, suspicious and disagreements. The concept of "Jedi" from religion becomes the title of a hired killer belonging to the elite troops. The character unique for mass cinema turns into another agent with a murder license, the Jedi Council becomes a power structure like Mi-6-in general, welcome to the huge queue of Hollywood good cops, strong nuts and superheroes.
The Hollywood film industry unified the movie hero in accordance with the time: the factory of the Patterns of the collective unconscious today is no for religious and philosophical images of the conscious warriors of the world. The stressful situation so far is a somewhat sluggishly current World War II requires not a reflective, but a decisively acting superhero, whose outstanding abilities can resist the aggression of the whole state and inspire faith in the miraculous victory of the “right” and the triumph of the military superiority of the democratic structure.
The film will be successful. And the two subsequent episodes too. This is not good and not bad: as always, it is only a symptom of the state of collective consciousness. “Good IS a Point of View,” the authors of the franchise could tell me after Palpatin (if they read Russian).
PS, meanwhile, George Lucas hopes to return to experimental author's cinema, from which his career began during the period of "New Hollywood".
Send the master of the rays of strength by reviewing his full-length debut-antiopia "ThX 1138" and the nostalgic anthem of the sixties "American graffiti".
