I think you're thinking of Atlas Shrugged - Neuromancer is literary acid-house and is quite literally one of the best novels ever written. You have to read it about 4 times before you actually get it.
I was honestly hoping a few people would have to think about it before they figured out what I was referencing. But it seems I was obtuser than I intended.
The whole Star Wars thing is all Obi-Wan Kenobi’s fault… if he just would have let Anakin grow up to be a poor space mechanic in the ghettos of whatever the place… nothing bad ever would have happened and everything would have been fine, but Obi-Wan Kenobi decided to be a selfish spoiled brat and ruined everything for everyone and abused a child relentlessly into adulthood. No wonder Anakin was so fucked up… it’s all Obi-Wan’s fault.
I don’t think you have seen like any star wars if you have such a bad take. It was Qui-gon jinn that found anakin. And what makes you think obi-wan is selfish or spoiled. If you paid attention or actually watched the movies you would know it was anakin’s fear of loosing padme that drove him to the dark side. Also what abuse did obi-wan do to anakin? They were pretty much brothers. As obi-wan put it “you were my brother, anakin. I loved you” Anakin became “fucked up” when he couldn’t control his anger and hate when confronted with loss, then the Sith Lord abused his fear and drive anakin to the dark side with promises of knowledge to save padme from death.
There were lots of factors in Anakin's fall. His early life as a slave, being separated from his only family, being brought up in the ranks of a religious bureaucracy that forces their members to shove down any and all emotion just to be a part, the constant psychic pressure from Palpatine, his relationship with Padme is just the final straw. The wedge that Palpatine uses to push him to the dark side.
They’re more personal, interesting, and relatable.
All these movies that are about the ends of worlds or civilizations… it’s too much.
The Terminator? Yeah ostensibly it’s about the end of the world due to AI run amok but it’s really about one woman fleeing from a seemingly unstoppable force.
The last Star Wars movie? Oh no, the planet destroying weapon now kills stars and is smaller. yawn
FYI, multiple spoilers, of both the second movie, as well as the overall story, in the article for those who have not read the books, but have seen the first movie.
(Yeah, I know, but still, I’m sure there are some people out there who fit the description I stated above.)
Good article, worth the read.
From the article…
We’re also reminded of another thing Villeneuve told us this year: “I always have been, since I was born as a filmmaker, concerned, inspired, and sensitive about the female condition and women’s relationship with power.” He even went on to say he wanted his movie “to be an adaptation about the Bene Gesserit. I want the Bene Gesserit to be at the center of the epicenter of this adaptation.”
I really tried to like the new Dune movies but I couldn’t seem to care about any of the characters. The old movies weren’t as well made, but I cared more about the characters.
I’m down with the film, I would actually like to pay to see a new movie, seems like all we get anymore are reboots and basically or just a bunch of the same stuff over and over that executives already know they’re going to make money on.
Even if this movie’s crap, it’ll still be worth it to see something new.
I remember my friend and I discovering Guyver in our local blockbusters. Here in the UK, it was called Mutronics.
The first film is quite silly but lots of fun. The second takes a more serious tone and I’ll always remember it has the voice of Metal Gear Solid’s Snake, David Hayter, in the lead role.
