Ho hum, who cares ...
To me, Star Wars, the original movie hinted at all these fantastic
ideas, and they had Joseph Campbell talking about the hero
archetype and a new mythology for the future ... all this hype over
slick special effects and a plot that was simple even for a toddler.
Star Wars was garbage. I admit it was fun garbage, but behind it
was the draining or our movies and media of any humanity or meaning.
The plots and the Force were absolute garbage when compared to
the very simple attempt of say the origina Star Trek series.
Simple as Star Trek was it gave a vision to what the US, and the UN
would evolve to be. People loved it and were hungry for that kind of
vision. Star Wars and most of the rest of movies never went near
these kinds of memes again, and all the successive Star Trek movies
and series were dumbed down with simplistic plots and ideas, along
with most of the rest of our media.
Our media is owned and controlled, especially the news, by the same
people who drill ideas into our heads or pry out the ones they do not
like or are scared of by fake stories or just failing to report them or
go deeply into analysis.
At the same time replacing our media with crime, sex, violence, and the
often vaunted "darkness" aspect of movies ( which just means the bad
guy wins ) like they replaced the food we eat with junk food. Our movies
drags down our culture and makes us stupid. No wonder we have to import
so many educated people from overseas, Russia, China and India while at
the same time complaining about the Southern border.
I'll probably see Star Wars at some point just because I liked the original
movie as a teen-ager and followed the hype, but I already know it will be
meaningless garbage.
