Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Not for me, but it's kinda fun and even cartoonish in spots. The shit-baby fandom needs to die.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi
1. Um certo youtuber de "nerdices" que vocifera "amar cinema" em suas "análises" mencionou uma vez o uso dos close-ups desse filme aqui como um demérito. A justificativa seria que, de algum modo, a decisão obliterava os planos gerais pra mostrar a dimensão desse universo e ceifava tal opinião comparando com a "direção" de J.J. Abrams no capítulo anterior e a "decupagem" dele pra mostrar "encantamento" - ou algo próximo - por esse mundo (https://youtu.be/UxOXMsLY2nk?si=fpERz7Fvlyp0WzIX&t=476). O que ele ou qualquer outro que adora exaltar as imbecilidades de um picareta industrial como o Abrams não vão perceber é que isso revela mais sobre ele e Rian Johnson do que sobre o filme ou o universo mitológico de Star Wars como um todo. Para Abrams, tudo em cena é visto pela ótica do encantamento de fã, ansiando mostrar o quanto admira a franquia e é devoto dos seus signos e ícones. A Millennium Falcon aparecer pela primeira vez em O Despertar da Força não é um ponto narrativo importante, mas uma exposição, uma vitrine iconográfica que torna aquele objeto de aclamação uma relíquia de fascínio em um museu de exposição. O intuito não é operar em prol da necessidade dramática do momento, mas criar o efeito de histeria coletiva dos "Reactions Audiences (https://youtu.be/h6vfEq-UkrY?si=x6U0xEL-DpA-tCJb&t=138)" de blockbusters - da Disney, claro - espalhados pelo YouTube. 2. E isso difere Abrams de Rian Johnson: o simples fato de que o segundo destruiria a Millennium Falcon em mil pedaços, se isso fosse uma necessidade. Johnson não enxerga o ícone como tal, mesmo que também seja um fã da franquia. A prova disso é a famigerada cena do Luke arremessando o sabre para trás; oposto ao fandon odiento, aquilo para Skywalker não é um objeto sagrado, mas uma memória dolorosa, um gatilho de uma vida atrelada a uma guerra interminável contra um mal sempre cíclico, coletando perdas e cicatrizes profundas. Mais tarde, o mesmo sabre é destruído por Rey e Kylo Ren em um "cabo de guerra" com uso da força. Johnson não é indiscreto em comentar nessa cena acerca do fandom odiento - formado em grande maioria por adultos que agem como crianças birrentas - e o apego infantilizado que o fazem proteger esse "brinquedo" que tanto veneram em camisas, action figures e fantasias que usam nas pré-estreias sem perceber que são os responsáveis pela violenta distorção do ícone, não restando escolha para o cineasta a não ser quebrar o objeto de adoração diante dos nossos olhos. 3. Voltando aos close-ups: enquanto J.J. Abrams sacrifica suas imagens para atender os interesses do estúdio e dos fãs extremistas e reacionários e cria um filme que mais glorifica do que se aprofunda naquele mundo, Johnson faz questão de potencializar o que existe de precioso naquele universo; dos rostos e expressões revelando anos de angústia, traumas, receios e afetos através de uma dramatização do plano que, ao se aproximar dos olhares e dos pequenos gestos, transmite a humanidade naquelas personas iconográficas; o cineasta escolhe ver aquelas figuras menos como estátuas da cultura pop, mas com um respeito dramático que pouco ignora o peso mitológico da presença deles naqueles ambientes. Nota: Não paro de pensar nas cenas da sala do Snoke. É de um apreço pela cor, pela nitidez, pela intensidade do vermelho na mise-en-scène que é impossível de ignorar. E o contraste com o fogo incrementa isso. Certamente são as imagens mais coloridas de qualquer filme da Disney em muito tempo.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Star Wars is a cultural phenomenon. Regardless of seeing the films, it's rare to find a person who has not heard of Star Wars or any of the major characters in the series. For the past several years, Star Wars has had a rebirth, starting with The Force Awakens, going on to Rogue One, and now with the latest episode The Last Jedi. Theaters are absolutely packed, people are talking, and Star Wars is as relevant as ever. Yet, The Last Jedi seems to be the most controversial film in the series to date, even with the enomorous amount of people going to see it. There are going to be people who are diehard fans seeing the film, as well as people like me who leisurely enjoy watching the films. It's interesting seeing initial reviews, especially from people who are diehard fans of the series, since many of them tend to be negative, saying that this film is "incoherent" and has bad writing, acting, and direction. They blame it all on Disney, when really there is a problem with how they percieve change. The Last Jedi is a drastic change from the traditional storytelling of Star Wars. This is a film that is willing to take risks, risks that end up being beneficial in the end to create a film unlike anything the universe has seen yet. Diehard fans were proclaiming The Force Awakens was a bad film because it played it "too safe", yet criticize The Last Jedi because they feel that it is too far from the original trilogy. Whether they like it or not, the Star Wars universe is going through a change that feels fresh and new, especially in a series that felt a little redundant after 6 similar films. Many of the criticisms for The Last Jedi say that Rian Johnson ruined the series through his writing and direction. This film is one of the most brilliant and colorful films of the series, if not beating out The Force Awakens in use of color (which could have been a little more suble, especially with red, but it is Disney so it's understandable). The landscapes are brilliant, the cinematography is gorgeous, it's an outstanding film visually, and when paired with John Williams' score, this film works wonders. Ultimately, the film wouldn't have worked without the characters, especially the characters met in the original trilogy. Star Wars is essentially based around nostalgia, a sense that is definitely felt through the great chracters, whether they be new or old. Rian Johnson, with the additional help of Carrie Fisher, fleshed out some fantastic characters, that make the story continue on in a very interesting way. Attempting to avoid spoilers, there were some creative decisions that were made that seemed a little hasty, but will be interesting to see how they affect what happens in Episode IX. But Johnson's writing was great, offering some of the funniest moments, as well as some of the most heartbreaking. There was absolutely no problem with an "incoherent" plot, just a couple of decisions that were a little different than what was expected. The Last Jedi continues on just as strong as The Force Awakens, aided by the great characters, Rey and Kylo Ren surprisingly being the best of this film. Poe, Finn, Rose, Leia, and Luke all are great to see, especially when all of them are together. There's not a lot that can be done that manages to surprise in the Star Wars universe, but the interactions between these characters and some of the scenes are incredibly striking, leaving you in awe (there being at least 5 scenes that left me personally stunned). This film took risks, did some things that are a little different than what we're used to in Star Wars, but it feels like it's a step in the right direction for the series. While this film is being criticized by many diehard fans, as well as many other normal viewers, The Last Jedi still stands as one of the strongest installments of the Star Wars franchise. Where The Force Awakens seemed to play it a little safe, this film managed to throw in some curveballs that made it all the more enjoyable to see. Seeing this film in IMAX 3D also managed to help out a little, making the film as magical as ever. Star Wars: Episode VII - The Last Jedi is a wonderful and beautiful film that manages to take some risks that many big budget Disney films woudln't even consider taking. This film doesn't play it safe, but manages to create a better universe in the end. Rest in peace Carrie Fisher.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi
A film filled with bold choices, The Last Jedi is my favorite of the new additions to the franchise. It has a lot of room to breathe (especially when it has the longest runtime of any of the films) and allows of lot of growth for the new characters, leaving a lot of room for the (unfortunate) final film in this series. This takes a lot of risks, many of which pay off to make this a rich addition to the Star Wars universe.
