Star Wars: The Last Jedi is beyond my expectation. I would like to start with
the synopsis we were presented before we watch it. Which I did, but what I want
to say that because it's like the expectation born when we read the synopsis
before we watch it, right? Okay, I think you get it.
So, it's a story after The Force Awakens following Rey
(Daisy Ridley) finally managed to find the legendary Jedi knight, Luke
Skywalker (Mark Hamill) on an island with a magical aura. The heroes of The
Force Awakens include Leia, Finn and Poe joining the legend in an epic
adventure, unlocking the shocking ancient mysteries of The Force.
Yeah, I'm lazy writer so I copy+paste this Bahasa
language of the synopsis and translated to English. But anyway, that's
enough.
Another honest word, I didn't read the synopsis before
I watched it. Ha. It's exactly fresh piece of mind right after The Force
Awakens.
The only Rian Johnson's film I have watched was The
Brothers Bloom. Well, I did watch Looper but it was just when where Paul Dano
was in scenes.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi, as a whole film, I
highly recommended the film to watch. Every review I read telling me how good
the cinematography. For me, it's obvious the primary point how Star Wars sequel
suppose to be make. So, I wouldn't doubt it even since the beginning. But well,
let's go to the casts. They were brilliant. Especially Daisy Ridley. I mean she
didn't create Rey's character and this written by Rian Johnson so how she
delivered what's in Rian's head to become developed Rey from The Force Awakens,
it moved me. She did a great job. So, she's the heart of this film, I must
agree. I know she was in this journey which put her at different places with
Poe or Finn.
Another honest word, I didn't watch many trailers of
this film so I made myself to be really surprise by it. So in this case I am
surprised with the relationship developed between Rey, Poe, and Finn at the
end. For me, that's the main something treasure for the future Star Wars. If
they could get a good writer for that. Ha.
But, by the way somehow I think I knew why people out
there didn't like this movie. Which, I did like it, maybe because I'm not a big
fan of the franchise. Ha. I loved The Force Awakens so, okay. Nothing's wrong
with it. Well, I was starting to support J.J. Abrams but there was Daisy
Ridley, Adam Driver (Loved him in Tracks) and John Boyega, and
Oscar Isaac, and oh! And Domhnall Gleeson! Yeah, after The Force Awakens, I'm
totally interested to join the dark side if there's Domhnall Gleeson on it. Ha.
With the old casts joined along with the new casts, perfect.
So, back to I think I knew why they didn't like it.
Well, I guess because simply it's not what they were expecting?
There was this moment when I was surprised by the
writing choice of what we called with maybe the highest level when you are on
the jedi religion. The funny thing it was explained very well. As not a fan, I
felt like be lectured with just their script. But, this one kind of moment
totally blew my mind. I was like, "I didn't see it coming." BUT IT IS
FIT. The only one logic of how they keep coming because they have the force.
Ha. Because I do want to know, for a long time and I got the answer. I think. I
would like to see it as a positive way but even for myself, that's not suppose
to... I don't know what the fuck was going on. So, I let it go.
Which also means, maybe the future would tell us more
and more and more about another layer of this religion. But, somehow as I read
in these reviews, they always put this specific, "unnecessary, plot
twist". That could be about the religion thing. Or, I was wrong.
There was this one particular flat impact
moment. Ha. It was flat moment but also an impact moment. I didn't mean it was
bad, I just need it could be more like somehow as if it's in criminology. A
signature crime is a crime which exhibits characteristics idiosyncratic to
specific criminals, known as signature aspects, signature behaviours or
signature characteristics. Where a modus operandi (MO) concerns the practical
components of a crime which can also be unique to one suspect, signature
aspects fulfill a psychological need and, unlike the MO, do not often
change.
Then how about this Snoke? Someone totally
fucked up with this character. He did something with Kylo Ren, but for what? It
totally put me wonder if it's not because this Snoke was meant as a qurban or a
black sheep of the whole new characters. He played by great actor who deserved
an Oscar for his contribution to film industry, Andy Serkis. And, it's just
like me ended with impression, "This is it?", ha. I guess maybe the
impact Snoke's relationship with Kylo Ren was the point a reason what's up with
this Snoke. It was not even that deep on Snoke's side where this Snoke was the
whole point of how Kylo Ren goes to the dark side. But, still, it payoff
by amazing scene between Snoke, Kylo Ren, and our beloved Rey. That's it. That
one particular scene brought me to feel like I'm in sequence of Alice in
Wonderland but also cross with Silent Hill. That sequence just put me on a
different dimension with all audiences in the studio. Yes, so good.
Here goes Rose, a new character. She's
pretty. I loved her the moment I saw her first scene. I loved her sister, too,
heroic scene, I must agree. That was really great scene! Rose's part and her
journey with Finn was like a different long-film, spin-off inside a film. Maybe
if it became a separate film would be better. Focus on Rey and focus on
Finn.... I don't know, maybe if it's matter if we better put Rey and Finn on
different film sequence. I would like to know. Oh, with Poe? He was perfect.
He's driven me crazy like I'm in roller coaster because his impulsive acts from
start to end. Which, put me wonder if he's like Han Solo. what... what... like
you're all new OTP theory wouldn't support what I just said.
Now, for the return of our Jedi, Luke
Skywalker. I just want to say, he can do whatever he wants. But it put me back
with what's up with Snoke. Yeah, I don't get it at all.
There's this one interview, a fact Rian
Johnson put some politics writing in it. And Rose's explanation on a film
helped. Which made me wonder if beyond Snoke there's someone greater. It is
beyond my expectation. The community is corrupted and to take a blame was only
the dark side? It's like what if Voldermort was not from Slytherin house but
Hufflepuff, would it make different how we look up to Slytherin as what we used
to think of the house? Or okay. In sociology theory, "Absolute power
corrupts absolutely." ; "Power tends to corrupt." ; Or just by
simply with what Bob Marley said, "If something can corrupt you, you're
corrupted already."
It put me wonder as if I'm watching
analogy of The Vatileaks scandal. But it won't give any less different since it
was sacred community and on too high level no one would dare to turn them down.
So I see everything in The Last Jedi.
Listen, I would like to say Kylo Ren is
pure dark side. But, what's his intention? I would like to know. Let's face it.
He is the pure heir of the blue blood and has the Jedi Force. He is a prince
for goodness sake. He deserves a THRONE!!! I would like to talk
about it. Shouldn't we talk about rebuild The Kingdom?
Well, whatever. Go watch this movie. Help me to understand this film which it
so exciting if you not put your expectation as priority and make it beyond
expectation.
Or I could just simply wrong with how do I see the film.
What do I know? I am just a Star Trek fan.
