Anakin and his cocoon

Vivienne 2021-10-13 13:05:36

Anakin's whole life was wrapped in a "cocoon". Through the thin silk on the surface of the cocoon shell, he could see how bright and desirable the outside world was.

In the hot sandy land of Tatooine, Anakin's first cocoon was conceived. I want to go out, the voice in his heart keeps calling. The voice is neither loud nor small, just to the extent that he can resist not showing it, but he can't forget it.

So Kui Gang-Jin appeared, and he took Anakin out of the cocoon with his father's kindness, but this was just a process of stepping from one cocoon to another.

"You are the chosen one."

The Jedi Order wrapped him in another cocoon, which was more translucent than the previous one, but it was equally difficult to break free. Their voices were gentle and could not be rejected. The young Anakin always had to raise his head to look at his young mentor. The sunlight came in through the glass arches of the committee and hit the Jedi masters.

Being as powerful as gods, Anakin needs to call them "Masters" respectfully.

He lay in the cocoon they had woven for him for more than ten years.

During this time he grew up slowly, until the cocoon could not hold him. He already felt the discomfort, but it was difficult to break free.

Padmé is the light outside the cocoon, the title of the Chosen Son is the light outside the cocoon, and trust is also the light outside the cocoon.

Love, Anakin was afraid that he wouldn't be able to catch it even if he broke free.

When did the first black spot appear on the pale cocoon?

Anakin woke up from his dream, his dream falling on the cocoon, the burn became a small black spot. His light still shines impartially, but it makes the shadows thicker.

Death is the first dark spot on the cocoon.

He told his beloved master of his dream.

He tolerated their love and calmed Anakin's sensitive past with tenderness and understanding. He should have been the one who understood him best.

But Obi-Wan told him that the Jedi should not be bound, and he asked him to accept death. Obi-Wan said very lightly. Anakin did not see the entanglement between his eyebrows. He only saw the burning ashes falling on the cocoon, burning his love, his ties, his hope.

The Jedi did not see the ashes on the cocoon either, their justice and pride led them forward, but Anakin was not on the straight road, and they naturally did not see his struggle.

In order to catch the light outside the cocoon, he stretched out his hand to the hollow burned by the ashes-the boundary between good and evil was blurred by the ashes, as long as he could save his love.

He fell into a dark cocoon, only his eyes were burning with scorching light.

"I loved you."

In the end, in the ashes and magma that can melt everything, his master told him. He was condescending and looked at him compassionately. Even in the end, he was the face of the saint, telling Anakin with the pain of rebuke that he had lost his love.

Anakin could no longer see the master's entanglement. He used all his strength to bid farewell to the translucent cocoon and to the brother Obi-Wan—"I hate you!"

But fortunately, he will never get burned again.

Hope and love had ruined him, so he comforted himself with pain and darkness.

Everything was quiet afterwards, and Anakin chose to close his eyes. Until he saw a beam of light again.

His child walked into his cocoon, and he looked at him with the same clear blue eyes, and wrapped his dark cocoon with his dry and warm hands. Luke Skywalker, his anger is greater than surprise when he hears this name, and every time he sees him, his pain is more precipitated.

He found that he still had the ability to love, but he couldn't help corroding those bright eyes with his pain. After brutally cutting off his son's right hand, he calmly said: "I am your father." Hope to see Luke fall from the bright side, just like him.

But Luke disappointed him.

His anger and obsession forced him to try to get close to his son time and time again and let him submit to himself.

"The fact I accept is that you used to be Anakin Skywalker, father."

Luke smashed his dark cocoon, he gently pulled him out of the shackles that had been for a long time, but he had shrunk for too long, his last wish was just to see the light in front of him, just like he used to Even now, as he has been longing for, once his desire was destroyed, at the last moment he finally got what he wanted.

All he spent his whole life seeking was infinite and tolerant love.

    It can only be said that it is a great innovation in film history at the technical level... It is really shocking to achieve such a level of special effects under such simple conditions at the time. But as far as the plot is concerned, the first three films are really not very good models. Of course, there are many places that cannot be achieved due to special effects, but it is like what effect a lightsaber will cause when slashing (hammering) people. Such details are not well grasped. It's really confusing.

    Many of the truth we came to, depend greatly on our own point of view. I still prefer the line from republic to dictatorship...... Princess Leia dressed like that, I can’t help but expect her to dance something like that ... I always think of Indiana Jones when I see Solo... Seeing the young Luke dad who appeared at the end of the restoration, I can't help but sigh that these two babies are really crooked...
