Topic > A comparison of the Star Wars prequels - 1142

The third and final prequel of the Star Wars trilogy George Lucas' Revenge of the Sith is the central point of the Star Wars saga. It is the culmination of the Star Wars prequels and leads beautifully and flawlessly into the completion of the original trilogy. The original trilogy ended with a happy ending complete with fireworks and scenes of several planets celebrating. The prequels tell a similar hero's journey, but instead of an affirming story about self-belief, it's a dire warning about the dangers of arrogance and greed. We are reminded of the human valves, fear, hatred, greed, pride and "failure to listen" that lead to the Dark Side. Compassion, love and non-violence are the true path to peace and justice. I believe this form of storytelling captures the audience, making the story memorable for fans and in my opinion this was a winning combination. The following paragraphs will address the narrative, similarities comparing the original trilogy to the new trilogy and analyzing the key elements of mise en scene used in particular scenes of the film. In this way, I will discover how the position, color and framing express the message that George Lucas wants viewers to absorb and remember. The original Star Wars trilogy was explicitly designed to capture and introduce audiences to a new film, however the new Star Wars trilogy is clearly designed to please fans and introduce a new generation to the Star Wars franchise. Movies are extremely popular among all cultures and ages for several decades. Aside from being popular, Star Wars also conveys many important elements. I think one of the most important themes is the narrative that is shown in all films as the classic hero's journey... in the center of the sheet... color values ​​and character positioning, three elements of mise-en-scène In the next scene , Revenge of the Sith intensely displays its ability to express emotion and drama. The use of framing allows George Lucas to convey messages of freedom or desperation, while the use of color values ​​demonstrates the ideas of good versus evil. The positioning of characters allows the director to show the power and meanings each holds determined by their position in the frame, whether at the top of the frame, bottom, center, or offset. The elements are able to express the struggle of the Jedi and the greed of the Sith. The scene ends with a close-up of Anakin's piercing red eyes, a symbol of fury, aggression and violence, which are hidden under the dark brown hood of his robe. Anakin's path to the dark side is complete and he transforms into a Sith himself. in the feared Darth Vader.
