Nostalgia Mode - Postmodernism and Consumer Society

Brice 2022-04-19 09:01:02

One of the most important cultural experiences of people who grew up in the 1930s and 1950s was the weekend afternoon Rogers-esque series — alien villains, true American heroes, troubled heroines, death Rays or the doomsday box, the last moment is even more tense and thrilling, and the magical rescue is left to the next decomposition. Star Wars recreates this experience in collage. That said, parodies of such series are meaningless because they are long outdated. Far from being a nonsense satire of those dead forms, Star Wars satisfies a deeply (even repressed) desire to revisit them: it is a composite object, some First graders and teens can venture straight out of it, while the adult public can indulge in a deeper and more appropriate nostalgic desire to travel back in time and experience bizarre aesthetic artifacts once again. Thus, the film is a historical or nostalgic film in the metonymic sense, unlike American Graffiti, which does not recreate a realistic overall picture of the past; The sense and form of the art objects (series) specific to the era, trying to evoke a sense of yesterday associated with these objects.

    The success of the film made this uncomplicated story series the most profitable story in history and formed its own subculture. Since then, sci-fi movies have become the experimental ground for the latest stunts. Lucas made full use of high-tech methods to create magical space scenes such as imperial spaceships, rocket fighters, laser swords, etc., and promoted the overall development of film technology with new visual spectacles. John Williams’s orchestral theme music is all-encompassing and magnificent

    Shipped 3P0/R2-D2, I have never seen such a cute one! ! ! ! Han and Luke are also cute. I went to AO3 to find food. . . PS Why don't you use the protagonist's halo earlier and feel sorry for the sacrificed little brother TT?
