The prequel reached its climax in this film. My feelings were not calmed by the Sith’s counterattack, the Jedi’s fiasco, and Anakin’s tragedy for a long time, so I came here to write a little thought.
I think the fate of the Jedi Knights’ failure was doomed when they used the clone army of unknown origin. Their only chance of turning defeat into victory was at the moment when Master Windu pushed Sidious into a desperate situation. However, Windu was in this matter. Adopted a reckless and narrow approach-neither told the Jedi elders nor fully trusted Anakin, but wanted to kill Sidious with one's own strength, and finally failed due to betrayal, and the Jedi As a result, the samurai lost the chance to fight back and was almost slaughtered.
And Anakin's tragedy originated from his desire. He gained love because of desire, feared to lose love because of desire, and finally plunged into darkness because of desire, and thus truly lost love. Anakin’s tragedy actually alludes to the author’s criticism of human beings who are too obsessed with desire. The author believes that human beings will destroy themselves because of this excessive desire.
And I want to explore Anakin’s understanding of love. I think that Anakin’s fear of losing a lover in the film reflects his deviation in understanding of love itself, because love is not possession, but understanding and respect. While watching the film, I was thinking, if Padmé does not approve of his behavior, then what is the point of doing so? Sure enough, although he slogan "In the name of love", he was finally abandoned by his lover. Love is not possession, but understanding and respect. If Anakin realizes this, he should not fear the death of his lover, but should fear that he no longer understands and respects his lover. In the end, both became a reality. Love did not destroy Anakin, it was his desire to destroy him, his possessive desire for his lover, and this also destroyed his love. In fact, not only did Anakin fail to recognize this, but many people in real life also fail to recognize this. "In the name of love" can often become an excuse to do anything, but it is often overlooked. His understanding and respect eventually lead to the farther away from love the more thirsty people are. I think this is not only the tragedy of Anakin, but also the tragedy of many people.
The film is also the culmination of the struggle between democracy and dictatorship. "Star Wars" simplified this struggle into light and darkness, and the struggle between the Jedi and the Sith. This treatment makes the film full of idealism and romanticism. The combination of such romantic ideals, magnificent imagination, and cool technology made the "Star Wars" series a huge success.
