Reflection on Star wars movie
In the scenes we watched from star wars, i though the points that were connected to religious factors were very true. Some people said that there were no religion points made in the movie, but i definitely saw some of those points come to light. I think the idea of having a evil and a good side isn't too religion related because thats pretty much the plot to every good story. The symbolism starts to come out when the good side comes out in the story when Luke SkyWalker starts to speak about his beliefs of the force. Also Darth Vader talks about his beliefs in the force. The whole idea of having this argument between the idea of science and the idea of belief is a roll found a few times in this movie. One of the earlier scene shows Darth Vader at a meeting and a member makes a snappy comment about doubting Darth Vader's beliefs. Another obvious moment is when Han Solo is watching Luke Skywalker practicing with the force, and observes that he thinks Luke is running on pure luck. The movie is split in half creating two opposing sides in many ways. One could be one side being evil, and the other being good. One being believers in the force, the others being believers in science. While we were discussing these topics in class another scene and addition from another unexpected movie sparked my memory. In the movie Nacho Libre, with Jack Black, his side kick in the movie believes in science. Jack Black's role was born to a church. This concept of science and beliefs comes up a lot in this movie. Overall, Star Wars was a good choice to create a foundation for our Religion Unit.
