Review 4K Movie

When the audience of the 70s was bored with New Hollywood, which was heavy with their tools and ambitions, the grandfather of media franchises George Lucas and Spielberg set new standards for film narration - simple stories and unambiguous conflicts, family life, and serial character.

"Star Wars. Skywalker. Sunrise ”- a confident and consistent return to the universal formula of a fantastic blockbuster for the whole family, deduced by“ New Hope ”and become a conditional canon. Moreover, the return, which in principle does not seek to rethink and offer something. This is the heroic (tragic?) Pathos of the film, and this has become the reason for the ambiguous ratings. But most importantly - the movie still happened.

The plot of the ninth episode is even faster than the previous ones. It is as if he is doing the homage to the Millennium Falcon, performing a cascade of jumps into hyperspace from one climax to another. But what could be more exciting than a swift flight along the starry path to the long-awaited denouement of the Century Saga?

The completion of the heroic saga was not without actual heroes: combining efforts, the battle against the universal evil is won by the fighting and fragile Ray, one of the strongest female characters in the mainstream cinema of the past decade, and anti-brutal Kylo Ren performed by Adam Driver's new masculinity model. However, such a cultural resonance only adapts the timeless history to the agenda.

Geek and postmodernist JJ Abrams outlined his approach in the seventh episode and remains faithful to him in the ninth. Rules are set: game and variations with ready-made forms. The archetypal confrontation between the Light and Dark sides, exciting space battles and lightsaber fights in the packaging of an energetic narrative - nothing more. Abrams revels in Williams' music, the afterlife voices of the Jedi and the hoods of the Sith. Droids are still comical, little aliens are just as cute, family ties are just as sudden (almost to self-parody). Nothing fundamentally new is introduced into the completed world of the main storyline.

All this perfectly illustrates the context of the modern cinematic mainstream and organically fits into it: total nostalgia for the old school, the typical forms of which are Disney remakes and witty stylistic games in the spirit of the American horror story. The author of full-length versions of Star Trek and the pro-Spielberg Super 8, JJ Abrams is at home here. His geeky enthusiasm whips in the ninth episode over the edge: "I have all the verses!" “And in me are all Jedi!” Who is finally cooler? It remains to grab the lightsaber and swing it, as the last time. And call a friend-fan.

“Skywalker. Sunrise ”resembles an old joke that should not grow up. You adored her in childhood, although after relishing repetitions, familiar images sometimes provoke a completely different emotional response - perplexity and skepticism mix with genuine joy. It seems that grandiose technical capabilities, topical issues and even uncompromising fan service do not save the situation.

However, do not forget - the joke is still the same, and the components that make up its charm have not disappeared from it anywhere. We ourselves have changed. But you can sometimes be children.
