Just watched Star Wars (1977) after resisting it all my life. It's very good, but not a masterpiece. I really don't see how a substantial minority of population came to base their entire identity around this movie.

I highly doubt you watched the 1977 version of Star Wars

I watched the "4K77" theatrical cut. Is that close enough to what was actually shown in the theaters in 1977?

This is undisputed truths

There was nothing like it before Star Wars. It is basically the foundation of western blockbuster mythology.

Are you familiar with The Pilgrim's Progress?
Watch its sequel. It dispenses with most of the camp style and has two complications and forms of recognition at the turning point. Having these things makes it 'complex' according to Aristotle's Poetics, so there shouldn't be any structural mystery for you.

Kershner decided to slow it down and pace it like an adagio, doing a lot of world-building

user, I...

When it first came out in 1977, nothing like it had been seen. It was wildly popular and The Empire Strikes Back made it even more popular. However, as popular as it was, no one based his identity on the movie. That's a recent phenomenon with all the faggots and professional victims who can't even discern the difference in quality between the original movies and the new garbage.

>It is basically the foundation of western blockbuster mythology.

It's the Sword in the Stone mixed with Alice in Wonderland in space.

*the wizard of Oz. I was thinking about Alice for other reasons

this is correct. now faggots are responding to the brand.

>It's very good, but not a masterpiece
yes, it's very good, and at the time of its release it was very, very good, also, who gives a fuck what you think about it Mr way too late to the party

You have to appreciate the time it was made and the conditions around it’s creation. It was absolutely groundbreaking.

Secondly, with that attitude, you couldn’t fully appreciate it even if you wanted to.

>that’s not innovative! It’s just this mixed with that plus that!

Thats kinda how innovation works.

Star Wars was innovative for the special effects used. It's a visual spectacle. People went to see it over and over again for the alien costumes, the sets, the space battle. The story was not its strong point.

There's only one worthy cut of Star Wars and Disney bought it the moment it was finished, they're currently sitting on it.

>world building

There's nothing remotely on the scale you'd see today. I hate the term world building.

You could say the same for the matrix. Both followed the heroes journey plot closely and both had massive pop culture impact. The stories mattered.

Slightly off topic: people who have lost the ability to appreciate a simple heroes journey are nothing more than jaded hipsters. Yes, it’s been used many times. But that’s because it’s THE QUINITISSENTIAL STORY. Its mankind’s oldest tradition. Straight back to fucking Gilgamesh.

Only the first matrix. The sequels make the story so illogical no one even bothers to try to understand, they watch the movie in spite of the story.

Ya just gotta throw on subtitles, my dude.

Its a movie for children user. The persons most effected by it were kids in the late 1970s into the 1980s. When were you born?

>double dubs
True kino confirmed.

1980s

I resisted watching it until now because all the tards at the school couldn't stop talking about it, and I felt like I'd become like that just by watching Star Wars.

yup. the majority of the kids who liked star wars then weren't obsessed 24/7 with it, they were excited to watch it when it would come out or occasionally but then they had other interests and knew it was just a movie, however exciting it was to watch. we'd talk about the movie in the schoolyard maybe for a day or two when it was played on TV but then it would fade away. maybe some people had posters on their walls or have a millenium falcon model on their bedroom desks but it wouldn't be the main or even secondary focus of their life except for the most autistic nerds (who would be bullied or scorned for it by the way).

it was when they turned into young adults facing shitty life prospects that most reverted to obsessive nostalgia (including myself in this phenomenon).

>Its a movie for children
Not this shit again

The story is hardly Shakespeare but it is pretty cohesive and tight by movie standards. It never feels plodding and the characterization is on point. It's not an aberration like the sequels or a disjointed mess with massive narrative gaps like the prequels. That's why I think it's generally more well regarded than most kiddie stuff

>implying Star Wars is a movie for adults
lmao at your immature life. The movie was made to sell toys you manchild. The only adults that saw it in the theatre were parents taking their kids.

>there are movies only for kids and adults
>no movies for both
>nothing in between
Bet you're the same guy who assumes everyone who does't like Stalker is a capeshitter, too

Also
>The only adults that saw it in the theatre were parents taking their kids.
Fucking look up pictures of people lining up to see the original and tell me how many kids you see

>a handful of adults going to a movie means its not a kids movie
>t. manchild living in denial
Whatever helps you through your days I guess.

>stick fingers in your ears
>"LAA LAA LAA I CAN'T HEAR YOU"
>massive superiority complex
What a fucking surprise

>projecting
The absolute state of (you).
