The excitement of an impending marriage -- a young couple surrounded by relatives and friends coming together to welcome them to their new home and celebrate the union. This opening scene, earnest in its wholesomeness, belies the tumult of the backdrop -- Communist China during the 1950s and 1960s -- some of the most unsettled years in the country's long history. The juxtaposition of the simplicity of everyday life and the complexity and disorder of an untamed political system that, at times, rivals anarchy, strikes the audience right between the eyes in the often disturbing and simultaneously beautiful film, "The Blue Kite". Renowned film critic, Roger Ebert, writes in his 2003 review of the film, "The "Blue Kite" is nothing less than the attempt to show what it was like to live in times of ideological madness." In essence, "The Blue Kite" is a story of lost innocence, political uncertainty, and personal courage. Director Tian Zhuangzhuang, drops us into the everyday life of the Beijing "peasant" class -- simple people with simple expectations -- to get married, to have children, to have jobs that…

Negotiations ended badly causing them to flee and they met a Gungan named Jar Jar Binks while running through the jungles of Naboo.

Anakin, Even the most beautiful things that exist in our galaxy can disappear in such a quick moment that we forget they even existed. I write to you in my most desperate hour -- in extreme pain unlike any I’ve ever experienced. Our baby will soon be born but it is not that that keeps me in such a state. It is with great sadness and a broken heart that I confess this: I can no longer love you, because you are no longer Anakin. Not the Anakin who rolled with me in the meadows of Naboo. Not the…

During the beginning of the prequels the Jedi had their own area on Naboo for a council and even where they could train young Jedi to their full potential. The Jedi order was not only prosperous but trying to take down any Sith and/or Sith lords that they could find to bring peace. They had children that came to them very young who had a connection with the force to train and one day become Jedi themselves. Although they were becoming a bit too powerful themselves and seemed more powerful than…

My room was small, but home. It consisted of a warm twin bed, a desk, wardrobe, bookshelf, and a window. The walls were unpainted and unpersonallaized, Master Obi-Wan said it helped "channel my Jedi spirit". I found that a load of space junk. I sat down in a chair near my window, watching the sun start to set on the beautiful and lush planet of Naboo. I sighed, wishing to see more of the galaxy, but I must remain in the Jedi temple. The Jedi temple I am in is fairly recent, and secret, not even…

At 24, she became her home planet’s senator before she reunited and later married longtime friend Jedi Padawan Anakin Skywalker.

As the Clone Wars wore on, Padmé fought for justice in…

about a foot and a half shorter than a Honda Fit. Spark could possibly be the best urban runabout sold in the states if you consider the word “value”. It’s more roomy, refined and useful than fortwo and iQ, thousands of dollars less than 500. Spark starts at 13 grand with shipping. The 2LT model Chevy has dropped off stickers for $15,800. Spark has sold over 600,000 copies in Asian and European markets since 2009. Assembled in Korea, it wasn’t simply shipped over as-is. Chevy engineers brought…

They meet Jar Jar Binks, who is a foolish Gungan. “Jar Jar is an alien amphibian who lives in an underwater city and speaks in a pidgin English that still gets the point across” (Travers, 1999). When the…

the prequel trilogy, and sequel film. Lord FitzRoy Somerset – known to some as simply Lord Raglan – proposed a narrative pattern in 1936 summarizing plot points of a heroic archetype used by many Indo-European cultures. This outline is similar to Joseph Campbell’s “Hero’s Journey” monomyth which was written over two decades later, although more thorough and less acclaimed. Raglan’s work contains twenty-two points, explaining the hero’s life and death, including his parents, infancy, and even the…
