Like many people, Spielberg was completely conquered by this movie. In fact, it was in the past In the past few years, although he was only a high school student, he still shot some short films and used some special effects in the short films.
Now looking at the dazzling visual impact presented in the movie, Spielberg was directly shocked.

He kept saying:
"May the force be with you."
And in another world, the Jedi in the movie use Unlike a lightsaber with high-reflective paper wrapped around a wooden stick, here they use a glow stick. This kind of thing has been mass-produced long before the movie was released. It was launched on the market almost at the same time as the movie. .
So when Star Wars caused a sensation in the United States, and people were attracted by various cool scenes and watched the movie again and again, Star Wars peripheral products immediately became popular, and many people who had watched the movie I ran out and bought one. Laser swords were waving there.
Even those scaled-down spaceship models and alien models have become popular.
Before those people who were originally watching had the chance to read the reviews of this movie in the newspapers, they were directly called by their relatives and friends to go to the theater to watch it first, because this movie is so worth seeing. Even picky film critics were also impressed by this movie. Conquered, after all, such a space epic conquered everything at once, and the movie was promoted by word of mouth. As a result, all the theaters were very tight with tickets in the week before the "Star Wars" movie, and the queues were getting longer and longer. The more people there are, the longer the queue becomes.
Considering the box office trend these days, the box office of this movie is expected to break all previous movie records, and the total box office will definitely reach the latest record.
On the third morning after the premiere of "Star Wars", the queue to buy tickets has stretched to the street corner,
In the evening, when the media who heard the news came to report again, the instant "Star Wars" experts calmly explained to them that they had watched "Star Wars" twice that day and were continuing to line up. Ready to watch it for the third time. Just like that, one of the most influential movies was launched. The brand-new interstellar warriors danced with the laser swords they had just purchased in the TV camera, chanting, "May the force be with you."
A week after its release, an instant myth was born Birth. No matter how Hollywood movie companies arrange blockbuster releases this summer, this movie will still crush it all the way without any pressure.
This movie is a foreign movie, but all the American media seem to have forgotten this at this time. All they focus on is the grand plot and the shocking pictures.
Now the entire American people are watching this movie, and all of them are conquered by a movie.
This is a milestone, which opens a new era for Eastern Hollywood to occupy the American film market. ——The Wall Street Journal, which is a mainstream newspaper in the United States, rarely reviews movies and the like. This time he used the eye-catching text on the front page to clearly explain the meaning of the film, which means that the film has become a phenomenon.
"We must admit that Jeanne is a great director, and of course nothing has achieved her greatness than the "Star Wars" movie. This is an unprecedented science fiction masterpiece. Jeanne used his extraordinary imagination to construct a story out of thin air. This is a history. Its appearance announced that film history has entered a new era. This is not only a revolution in film, but also a revolution in women."
This is the starting point of the review of "American Beauty". But it was completely different from other newspapers—it advocated women.
“We cannot accurately define the creative source of Mr. Steven, the creator of the script, but it proves that such a masterpiece once again proves that science fiction movies also have extraordinary vitality. This movie created a myth. ”
The success of "Star Wars" is based on the times. After all, people have never seen this type of science fiction movie before. No one had ever witnessed a movie stunt like this before.
In addition to being shocked, almost everyone who watched this movie was stunned by the unprecedented scene. While being completely conquered by this grand imagination, they were also willing to work for this Pay for the movie.
Among the first batch of fans of "Star Wars", all of them watched it more than once, some even watched it dozens of times, and "Star Wars fans" were born in the true sense.
At the same time, even the costumes in the movie have become a kind of fashion and are widely popular in the market.
The costumes are of course the biggest drawback of the original Star Wars. Human beings have entered interstellar civilization, and as a result, they wear clothes that look like the Middle Ages. In this Star Wars, their clothes are carefully designed, not only modern, but also fashionable. Because of this, in the popular movie At the same time, it even set off a fashion trend in European and American countries,
And at the same time, it can even spawn a whole new industry of bundled products including books, toys, posters, etc. In the future In the past few decades, this industry has still brought huge profits to film companies.
In short, in the summer of this year, this movie became a phenomenal product. It has even become a myth in the film circle, a myth that cannot be surpassed. So much so that in many newspapers in the United States, only film critics are discussing this epic masterpiece. Even some economic experts were there to discuss the movie and the peripheral economic effects it would bring.
“This is a brand new business model, and its success proves to all of us that an era has come - not just the movie itself, but the peripheral products of the movie will also bring extremely rich profits. Profit. "
Looking at the words of economists in the newspaper, the man at the dinner table said disdainfully.
“First of all, you have to be able to make a movie that everyone will line up to watch over and over again, and then you can sell the so-called peripheral products, otherwise it is just empty talk.”
Even if it doesn’t happen, Not an economic expert, but the man knows what business is. He said this, and then frowned. Said to himself:
"Maybe we can go to NBA games to sell these peripheral products, just like they sell those peripheral products in football leagues. They can do it, and so can the NBA."
However, then, the man turned his attention Turn to another piece of news in the newspaper. Compared with news like "Star Wars", the real big news is here - Father Martin Luther King calls on all black people to march on Washington!
Looking at the news in the newspaper, the man raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said to himself:
“He is really a guy who is good at making words.”
The reason why the man said this was because in early August, Martin organized a massive struggle movement - the "March to Washington, the Capital." Under his instigation, a large number of black people participated in this movement. They chanted the slogan "Strive for employment, fight for freedom" and took various means of transportation towards the capital.
On the interstate highway leading to Washington, black and some white cars occupied the road. People rushed towards Washington in such a mighty manner. In terms of momentum, only the veterans of the year could compare with it.
It’s just that at that time, MacArthur commanded the army to use tanks to care for American veterans. Now I don’t know if anyone still cares for these black people.
But in any case, their move naturally attracted the attention of the news media. Since Martin Luther King issued this call, media across the United States and even the world have been paying attention to these People marching on Washington,
And history has changed slightly here - because of the emergence of communication satellites, Americans can broadcast live broadcasts. When people see the majestic march on TV As the procession headed toward Washington, more people joined.
In history, almost 230,000 people marched on Washington, but what about now?
"More than half a million people!"
The man looked at the words in the newspaper, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said to himself:
"This is not bad, the more people The more the better..."
Indeed, for an event like this, the more people the better, the louder the momentum, the more people pay attention to this event, and the more people pay attention to this event, the public opinion media will There is growing concern about this march on Washington.
With the attention of news and public opinion, more people will witness this movement through TV. It will also lead to more people joining in.
Massive news coverage will contribute to the event's momentum, and the momentum will also contribute to press attention to the event.
The two can be said to complement each other.
"The entire United States is paying attention to this incident now."
Looking at the picture of crowded people in the newspaper, the man frowned, and then he stared at the newspaper, as if Thinking about something there.
Strong sunlight passed through the fixed wooden shutters with thermal insulation, and the yellow light cut through the darkness in the room. On the other side of this light, several photos were nailed to the wall.
The person in the photo is none other than Martin Luther King Jr. from the newspaper.
The light shines on the photo like this, reflecting a cold reflection.
After putting down the newspaper in his hand, the man watched for a long time as the light moved slowly, almost imperceptibly, but at the same time unstoppably in the room.
He just stared at those photos, the people in the photos, and the several road maps behind the photos.
He stood up from the large and low sofa without haste, then he walked into a room, and soon the man left the room.
He was carrying a suitcase in his hand. Before leaving, he specially cleaned the room and cleaned up all the photos before leaving...
