Star Wars 7: Why the Jedi As Myth Makes Sense

The religious themes and imagery of Ridley Scott’s sort-of-prequel to Alien begin in the opening scene, Game Blog|Https://Movietriviafocus.Com/ with an alien Engineer sacrificing himself to seed Earth with life – an idea seen in Greek, Roman and Aztec religions. But it’s not the most obvious message. When the cast of Prometheus uncovers an ancient map to a distant moon, LV-223, the film’s Christian heroine sees it as an invitation to meet her creator in person. But instead of answers, the crew finds violent creatures and an Engineer determined to destroy all human life on Ea

Two sequels followed, but when Neo finally ended the war in his epic battle with Agent Smith, their fight is set at that exact intersection . When the two slam into the street, you can even catch a glimpse of the phonebooth from the first f

David Fincher had an incredible challenge adapting the novel Gone Girl to film, but the opening shot is a hard one to forget. Showing what should be a loving scene between a husband and wife, star Rosamund Pike’s sudden stare into the camera and Ben Affleck’s narration put audiences on edge, warning them that the story about to unfold was anything but simple. A kidnapping, lies, and murder all led the estranged couple back to eachother, forced to decide just how willing they were to keep lying for the sake of a marriage – and public perception. Having the couple end up right back where they started from may have been a hard pill for viewers to swallow, but Fincher makes the message loud and clear, ending the movie with the exact same shot he opened on – but the audience’s opinion of the woman in frame has completely chan

Understandably, some viewers were confused when the new Force Awakens characters asked Han about the old Galactic Civil War and the existence of the Force. But in a way, that’s because these elements have become so ingrained in our popular culture that it’s almost inconceivable to come across someone who has never heard the term “Jedi Knight” or knows who Darth Vader is. In the Star Wars universe, knowledge of such things really isn’t all that commonplace. It’s easy to see how this could all be new, especially to someone living alone in the des

When James Cameron’s sci-fi sequel Judgment Day hit theaters in 1991, it did so with a theme song: “You Could Be Mine” by Guns N’ Roses. But that wasn’t always the plan. James Cameron has never admitted he made the film with the band in mind, but there are some obvious clues. Not only is John Connor’s best friend wearing an L.A. Guns t-shirt – one of the two bands which would lead to GNR – but when the Terminator finally arrives to take on the T-1000 in a shopping mall, he reveals his gun hidden in a box of, you guessed it, roses. Arnold Schwarzenegger personally convinced the band to sign on, making sure the movie’s sales pitch was a successful

The very subtitle of Episode VII suggests that the Force has been dormant for some time, and though there are still Force users out there, they’re not as prominent as they once were. Luke may or may not have started a new Jedi Order, but even if he did, the odds that scavengers on Jakku know about it are slim. As for Rey inquiring about the stories about what happened (meaning Episodes IV-VI )? Think of it as a young basketball fan asking an older basketball fan if the things he’s heard about Michael Jordan are true. Nobody’s doubting the Rebels beat the Empire, they just want to know how factual the fantastical tales they heard

Audiences expect to be riveted, surprised, or simply astonished when a blockbuster film comes to theaters. But what about the stories, messages, and deeper meanings that being told below the surface? Most films are exactly what they seem to be, but every so often, a writer or director will craft a hit film that is much, much more than meets the

Every fan of Disney and Pixar knows to keep an eye out for the code “A113,” the room number that the studio’s top animators all studied in when attending the California Institute of the Arts. But it doesn’t stop at animated movies. When Brad Bird graduated from directing movies like The Incredibles and Ratatouille to Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol , he made sure to give a nod to his roots. Watch closely, and you’ll spot the code on a trick ring used by IMF agents to inject a sleeping drug into their unsuspecting tar

James Cameron’s 3D blockbuster smash may have taken audiences to an alien world, but it begins at home, in a futuristic Earth. Actually, Avatar begins in a dream sequence, with the movie’s hero Jake Sully explaining that his sleep has become filled with visions of flying ever since he was wounded in combat, opening his eyes every morning to find he’s still confined to a wheelchair. His adventure on the planet Pandora piloting an artificially-grown human/Na-vi hybrid allows him to do more than fly, successfully defending the planet from his own side’s forces. The final shots of the movie mirror the beginning directly, showing Jake once again opening his eyes – this time, to a new body, a new people, and a new purpose. To take things further, the end credits are run over the exact same shots of flying as Jake’s first dr
