I remember recommending movies to you: Waking of Ned (Devine), The Field, and Roan Inish. Did you ever what those movies?

7. Star Wars now known as "Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope." It's a Space Opera in a disguise of a ordinary sci-fi movie. Even though its look is futuristic it takes place "a long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away", and that is done in effect to give it a mythological status on par with of epic tales of ancient civilizations. Also the story being set in the past, it enables the writer, George Lucas, to explore and address age old philosophical questions. Underneath all the bells and whistles of state of the art special effects in the movie, it is an exploration of characters. Driving the story are the characters and they must do. What are their place in universe, what they must to achieve a common goal, regardless how small a part they play, or what little they do that in some small way achieves that goal.
