Mielr said:Puggo - Jar Jar's Yoda said: Star Wars was a fantastic, academy-award winning 1977 movie. As such, it is a cultural icon for the late-70s.Well said, Puggo. That's the way I feel EXACTLY!
honestly, who cares what awards it got? i never did, and the academy awards are pretty
meaningless anyways, so what difference did it make that it got them?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Best Art Direction-Set Decoration - > does anyone care? unless you're building something
Best Costume Design -> same, who cares? do you design outfits?
Best Film Editing -> couldn't tell then, and still cant..
Best Music, Original Score -> nice to listen to, but then so what?
Best Sound -> again, only good for sound editors
================================================================
Best Effects, Visual Effects -> finally, one award that makes sense..
so out of all of those meaningless awards, they didn't really affect anything
afterwards did they?
the real impact was ILM, and all the other technologies that came out of it,
studying the film didn't really help anyone much then, or now..
i don't see that as much of an argument for preservation,
i'm sure there are others, but winning awards isn't one of them.
the common person only cares that they liked the film for whatever
reason, popularity, the story, the plot, the dialogue, etc... and it
didn't win any of those anyways...
later
