negative1 said:i derive very little critical and artistic merit from watching 'Star Wars', because i don't view it from that perspective as a 'serious' film that was a commentary on society from the 70's...
A film doesn't have to intend to be a commentary on society, to be one. "I Love Lucy" was never intended to be a commentary on the 1950s, but that is exactly what it has turned out to be. History looks back on pop culture to reflect on was going on then... it looks at normal things, comedies, posters, cartoons, and the entertainment of the day.
