If you are a "Star Wars (Star Wars)" fan, then you should be both looking forward to and melancholy during this time, because soon, the latest "Star Wars" movie will be released worldwide, but this Second, it may be the last film in this series.
"Star Wars" is a national myth of the United States,
in our country, there are many fans, such as me. But a few days ago, my wife asked me a question-she said that the film has developed into the interstellar war era, why are the protagonists still using swords.
Yeah, why.
"No matter how high martial arts is, I am afraid of choppers." Not only a joke, but also in line with our daily cognition. There are similar expressions: "No matter how good martial arts, one shot will fall."
However, Star Wars-themed movies and even many Hollywood blockbusters are doing the opposite. The protagonist of
will fight against the villain. After a rain of bullets,
speed blasting, high-altitude adventure,
, but in the end, it often depends on one-on-one melee to decide what to do. Why is
like this. First of all, of course because it is more in line with the audience's appetite! The biggest advantage of
"melee" lies in the word "near"-it can create an excellent sense of opposition and struggle through the same frame of two characters. Relatively speaking, the scene of the pros and cons exploding big guns far away is almost meaningless.
In the Star Wars movie, the afterimages and "buzzing" sound effects of the Jedi and the Sith wielding the lightsaber can make cold weapons far more enjoyable than guns. In addition, cold weapons have more advantages in character shaping. Imagine if the US team carried a rocket launcher,
Thor double-held Gatling,
would probably laugh at Thanos.
In fact, the screenwriters have also noticed the "high-tech" in the movie. In order to "fill in the hole", the screenwriters also racked their brains. Routines can be roughly divided into two types: the first: "I don't use a gun because I can't use it." For example, the gun "just happens", "just happens" and "just happens" out of bullets.
Another example is the protagonist's "chivalry" attack, disdain to use a gun. And the "most amazing" setting is the second routine of
, which is actually the most classic and most attractive setting in many science fiction movies, that is, "swords are more powerful than guns!" For example, in Star Wars movies , "Lightsaber" is the exclusive weapon of the Jedi Knights. It is invincible, has both offensive and defensive capabilities, and cooperates with the original force.
Another example is the shield of the US team in the Marvel Universe, Thor's hammer and axe, and the panther's tights. Almost every superhero's exclusive weapon is more powerful than a gun. Because of this, the climax of "Reunion 4" was a human hedge that only appeared in the cold weapon era, which made us see blood and tears.
In fact, there is another important reason why the protagonist in "Star Wars" uses swords-that is, in the view of the father of "Star Wars" George Lucas, "Star Wars" is not a science fiction film. And a "space opera", its story structure is derived from Greek classical tragedy, and the Jedi and the Sith holding a lightsaber are a tribute to Akira Kurosawa's films, and it is a perfect combination of Western science fiction and Eastern culture.
This is also an important reason why "Star Wars" "conquered the world".
