This is a great parody that unfortunately you can only see at the link: How Ken Burns would tell the story of ‘Star Wars’. Tonight we will see the latest instalment. Since the first (Episode IV), it has been more of a duty to complete the set but off we will go, if for no other reason than to make sense of parodies like this one. And I did laugh at the idea of Senator Jar Jar Binks.
On filmic matters of a similar kind – dealing with Hollywood’s love of violent rebellion against established authority – we went to see Suffragette . What I had never appreciated was how violent these protests were. The film also did lead me to this documentary about the single most famous moment in suffragette history.
For me, the documentary was more interesting than the film but these are the more systematised views: Rotten Tomatoes: critics 74%/audiences 72%; IMDb: 6.9.
