Review of The Empire Strikes Back (1980) by Anna K — 09 Jun 2018
A coming of age story in the packaging of space fantasy, The Empire Strikes Back is dark, deep and romantic. Artfully written as it builds upon the best parts of the franchise's first installment, while still able to stand on its own.
It tells a well rounded narrative about the complexities of making the right decision for the greater good versus the good of a few. It follows three different characters as they deal with the truth of their situations, and as they search for something more.
When most of us think of Star Wars, we think of spaceships and planets, but take that away and you still have a strong and emotionally resonant story that works regardless. A true masterpiece in filmmaking that will hopefully continue to enchant audiences for years to come.
Good for all ages.
