Again I think that you can be in a dormant state for a long time and all of a sudden be surprised, changed, revitalised by a single day.
Today was such a day. Though I don´t know where to begin. Technically it´s not even over yet. But I will try my best.
Let´s begin with the ending. Or at least the last thing I did before sitting behind this cosy computer.
I was not going home yet, because my guesthouse-hostess and good friend Miriam was going to draw her friend nude for art-class. She told me the girl was very shy. So I decided it was better to come home until they were finished.
I looked in the distance and saw a cinema. The thing I naturally did was walk towards it and take a look which movies were being shown. I knew for sure I needed an English spoken movie, it´s the first day in Spain and I just wouldn´t be able to keep up with the movie´s plot this way.
The first poster I saw was from ´Wall-E´. An animation movie from pixar. I had seen the introductory film about it somewhere and I didn´t feel like watching this kind of movie.
The Dark Knight I had already seen (see review) and I wasn´t in the mood to see it again.
The last option was a Star Wars movie: the Clone Wars. I knew this was an animation. I had read a little about it. I decided to watch this movie. It turned out to be a wonderful choice.
For people knowing Star Wars and hating it, this movie deserves to be looked at with an unprejudiced eye. I was slightly influenced with the remark I read, that the skin-graphics look bad, but I soon forgot that, because, as a medium Star Wars knower I found this one of, if not, the best Star Wars movie.
I didn´t expect to see such a pleasing film.
This can be the power of going with just a little or no idea what´s going to happen.
I think the makers had gotten exceptional freedom because the original Saga has been completed and the main plot has been explained. This story is between the last 2 movies, and adds more depth to this plot.
The freedom that has been taken works out wonderfully, because the characters aren´t treated as holy anymore. This movie has a lot more lightness to it than the other Star Wars movies and a wonderful new female character. She is still a kid, but proves that girl-power is unmissable in this world by saving her master more than once, and subtly exposing his male weaknesses.
The android robots are even more incompetent this time, which explains perhaps more that the evil emperor has planned this all along, making them ready for failure. To fully enjoy all these things in the movie, you must at least be a medium Star Wars knower. But the relationship between the young girl and her teacher is accesible to all viewers. It´s a character that stays with you all the way.
I went to the movie to keep myself a bit occupied so I could gradually prevent any awkward stumbling upon a girl in a room being drawn naked who is painfully shy. That's really something I wouldn't want to happen. And it would be really, really unlikely to happen, because I would still have to ring the bell to get in the building and take an elevator to get to the top floor. But I think we always imagine the worst possible things, after having experienced a thing like that before, as an automatic prevention system in our brain. Luckily it didn't get to any embarrasing moments.
Exactly after the movie finished and I left the cinema I got a message that I could come home.
