Please
Unfortunately (for whom I’ll let you argue), I don’t have the leisure to describe my near outrage as completely as I’d like. However, it can’t escape my noting that, if you’re looking for any kind of political prescience from any movie, let alone any Star Wars movie, you are an inescapably fruity idiot. Even if, as it’s supposed, some creative motivator of some movie, let alone George Lucas, should include subtly or didactically some or all of his or her political opinion in the fiber of a cinema release, again, it’s just a movie.
The case for such inference might generate fewer negative superlatives if the movie happened to be directly politically motivated; but even these films are not purely philosophical in their treatment. Michael Moore himself said, roughly that he’s out to make movies, and that viewers shouldn’t derive their political philosophy from movies (for the actual utterance refer to the “special” features on the Fahrenheit 9/11 DVD).
I’m anything but politically savvy, anything but knowledgeable. Still, I’m not looking for inspiration from film creatives, who, taken collectively seem to provide evidence of grandiose myopia the likes of which I may never myself attain.
