In discussing this movie with an acquaintance (liberal), it was suggested to me that the perception of Good and Evil depends on what side you are on (*That’s Deep, with an eye roll that strained a muscle). He then went on to start to explain that bees are perceived as evil.... I stopped him. Analogy fail! Bees can’t be evil. They aren’t self aware and don’t contemplate their existence.
Are terrorists evil? (Why, yes they are.) Are they Evil because they indiscriminately murder women and children because of their righteous religious convictions? Or are they evil because they are confused about what is right and wrong? Does it really matter when the lives of innocents are at stake? Kill the bee and weep about the injustice and misunderstanding later.
In the latest Star Wars movie, they want us to consider what is good and evil, not observe the righteous battle that has good triumph over it. In this way, the movie reminded be of liberal politics, so I couldn’t enjoy it.
I posted about this after it came out... there was a lot wrong with the Last Jedi..... But when you peeled away all the execution problems... and their were many.. the biggest problem was it took Star Wars, which was ALWAYS (at least in film world) a very clean good vs evil story, and decided to take it all dark and shades of gray....
That’s not Star Wars... that is also probably its most unforgivable offense.
There are all sorts of shades of grey stories out there... Star Wars is not, (at least in film) and never has been one of them and those that want to see good vs evil don’t give a rats hairy behind for shades of grey rationalizations and excuses.
