Exciting times guys

We are going to start by reviewing on of our BEST LOVED FILMS.

S T A R W A R S 1977 - 1983

this is a real neat poster which we would love to say is ours... but we can't. :(

Okey so readers don't judge. We are not one of those fans who put Jedi down as their religion in the UK 2011 census. Although, I did ask my mum to make me a full Jedi robe once. :/ Star Wars: A New hope was watched on early 2000s VCR ( *sigh*) as one of my first. It opened my mind to what could be portrayed on screen, and what kind of worlds could be imagined by such a good director as George Lucas. Here are top 3 arguments for why this film is just too good.

1. First of all the opening sequence to the space opera.

and BAM you know where the film was set, when it was set in the first shot. Can you say that about many Epic sci-fis these days. Then begins the main theme and the scrolling yellow story against a stary night. You know now you are truly submerged and there is no going back. My dad told me that when he first saw Star Wars in the cinema it was groundbreaking as the first actually footage is of two ships that were shot as if they were flying over head. The sound of the ships above echoed around the cinema; you really were aware of the advances in sound technology thanks to a great sound editor Ben Burt and George Lucas's new state of the art THX.

2. You really can't be cynical with this films as we all know yes it is a bit dated but then again that can be a good thing as in the original version the puppetry of Yoda is reality and you can sense the mastery that Frank Oz has with these things. Reality of this distant galaxy really comes across when you see the constructed Tatooine - the desert village fabricated in Tunisia. The dedication to the intricacies like the iconic spaceships (millennium falcon, the X-Wing ect.) and their rusted metal feeling all contribute to making the film so iconic. These ships are so much more authentic then the shiny plastic and artificial ships that are recurrent in many films.

3. The music. You've all heard it. You can all hum it. Round of applause to John Williams go get an Oscar. It is so emotive and is almost an extra omnipresent character. This is a score which is best heard live with full symphony orchestra which we both have done.

so this film i guess you guessed is a ***** from us.
