Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/87/StarWarsMoviePoster1977.jpg Dir: George Lucas Genre: Science Fiction, Adventure Year: 1977 What more is there really to say about the original Star Wars? It's likely the most culturally important mainstream movie ever released. It shattered box office records and completely shaped an entire generation (and more), opened up sci-fi as a genre for millions, popularized nerd culture, and inspired countless filmmakers, writers, and artists who continue to try to replicate that feeling that they had at their first viewing. The original Star Wars is the simplest, most universal story of the OT--and it's also the best. Luke is the embodiment of the good in the universe. A simple, small-town boy thrust into an intergalactic adventure. It is the movie that most allows you to fantasize about being that character. The music and cinematography complements his journey perfectly, from the pensive moments on Tatooine where Luke has to weigh the challenge before him, to the climax with the Death Star when everything comes together at once and he fully understands his destiny. The ending of the original Star Wars still gives me chills when I see it, and it's one of the most triumphant moments in all media. And that's pretty much what Star Wars is in a nutshell. A movie fraught with production problems, technical limitations, and setbacks--but also one that was driven forward by a man with a dream, who believed in himself and created the greatest spectacle in cinematic history. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso <cite>Nelson_Mandela posted [p:924403520] in The SephG ...
