the whole world burns

Revenge of the Sith review in the New Yorker

 # [via]

What Lucas has devised, over six movies, is a terrible puritan dream: a morality tale in which both sides are bent on moral cleansing, and where their differences can be assuaged only by a triumphant circus of violence. Judging from the whoops and crowings that greeted the opening credits, this is the only dream we are good for. We get the films we deserve.

What the devil?

The Whole World Burns is the rephrase miniblog, containing links and other miscellaneous trifles.
