People take all these movies too serious, or not serious enough, IMO. There's a great undercurrent of anarchy in the films. Despite being basically hopeful for good government, they still offer no political answers, just direct action. The movies basically tell you to let go and trust your instincts. On one level, the OT are "cultural crowdpleasers" but on another, people just don't get them. The prequels are less populist, but still have the same message, and if you like that message, one can forgive the flaws as easily as the OT flaws. I'm not afraid to say, Phantom Menace was brilliantly deceiving, and 2 and 3 made me, a grown man, cry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665563271670508138.post-83110817472487618832012-02-13T09:38:55.919-05:002012-02-13T09:38:55.919-05:00You took the words right out of my mouth.You took the words right out of my mouth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
