![]() The witch tells Mulan how they are similar and both have very strong qi. During the chase, Mulan becomes separated from Hongui and comes face to face with Xianniang, who uses her powers to know who Mulan is. While the others fight the Rouran army, Mulan and Hongui chase after Bori Khan. They arrive at the valley where Khan's troops are located. With this, the army departs camp and heads off. Before the conversation can continue, they receive word that they are needed as back up for forces under attack from Bori Khan. The Commander is quite impressed with her skill in training and offers her a higher position. The next day, Mulan is told to meet with Commander Tung. Despite not understanding Mulan's standoffish behavior, Hongui quickly departs. Not aware of Mulan's secret, Hongui arrives at the lake to talk with her, but she attempts to get him to go away so he does not expose her. Later, following a long day of practice, Hongui tells Mulan that she smells and needs to take a bath. This catches the attention of Commander Tung. Every day during training, Mulan improves and eventually surpasses her fellow soldiers. They are partnered up for training and engage in a heated practice duel. She grows close with her fellow soldier Chen Honghui. Despite not fully understanding what it is like to be a man and making some remarks considered to be suspicious, none of the soldiers suspect she isn't truly Hua Jun. She uses this time to train and better herself. Later that night, Mulan volunteers to keep watch over the camp rather than bathe with the other soldiers so that she does not expose her identity as a girl. Mulan arrives at the camp and poses as a boy named Hua Jun. Hua Zhou and Hua Li pray their ancestors will protect her.Īs Mulan rides, a Phoenix-like bird flies above, reminding her of what her father said. The next morning, he sees his conscription notice is gone and replaced by Mulan's decorative comb. Once her father goes to bed, Mulan steals his armor, sword, and horse, and rides off towards the camp to take his place as he is old and may get seriously ingured. He again reminds Mulan of the Phoenix and how his ancestors will watch over him. He discusses his previous conflicts and his sword which has "Loyal", "Brave", and "True" engraved into it. ![]() Later that night, Mulan talks to her father as he prepares to head off to the war. Despite not being required to fight as he is a veteran, Hua Zhou is the first to step forward in order to bring honor to his ancestors. The messenger gives conscription notices to each man who is eligible to fight. Once they get outside, they hear an important announcement that the emperor of China is requesting more men to defeat the Rourans. In an attempt to hide the spider from Xiu who is afraid of spiders, Mulan interrupts the matchmaker and ruins the meeting. The meeting starts off according to plan, but disaster strikes when a spider crawls down from the ceiling. Joined by her mother and her younger sister Xiu, they meet with the town matchmaker. Despite her objections to the process, Mulan goes along with it in order to please her mother. Mulan, now a teenager, is preparing to find a groom, as all teenage girls do in Mulan's village. He gained much support during his quest for revenge, including Xianniang, a powerful witch with strong, unbalanced qi, and he will be using his support to take over China. His father was slain by the Emperor of China when he was younger, causing him to vow revenge. However, unbeknownst to him, his chancellor was impersonated by a witch in an attempt to trick the leadership of China.Īt his camp, Böri Khan discusses his motives for taking over China. Hearing of this attack and similar ones in five other northern cities from his chancellor, the Emperor of China demands additional forces to protect China. ![]() The Rouran's are able to capture a Northern outpost by launching a surprise attack, dealing a drastic blow to the Chinese forces. Years later, Böri Khan and his barbarian forces ride on horseback towards the Great Wall. Zhou uses this moment to talk to Mulan about how she is very strong and that she must find balance. A statue of a phoenix, the symbol of Mulan's ancestors, is damaged in the chaos. Mulan engages in a chase to retrieve the chicken which causes much distress among the townsfolk and dishonor to Hua Zhou. ![]() However, one of them escapes into the crowded courtyard.

The phenomenology of lyric obscurity remains relatively constant across the conventionally formidable boundaries between literary and vernacular poetries-even as vernacular obscurity vividly and alluringly marks the horizons of class identity. In addition, with modern poetry's deliberate cultivation and rationalization of obscurity (starting with Romanticism), the spectacle of lyric obscurity projects itself more broadly as a symptom of social alienation and therefore as an element in the social economy. This chapter explores different hypotheses of obscurity effects and the general “uncertainty of meaning” associated with verbal obscurity-viewed from the vantage point of the dominant, or literate, social class. One could also contend that these “obscurity effects” betray a model of expression mirroring the inexplicit relations among individuals forming a secret society-a world apart from the world-but also the occult relations between discontinuous worlds. Poetry, by analogy, may be said to produce certain obscurity effects. ![]() ![]() Indeed, crafting obscurity in a poem perfects the palpable art of disappearance. At the same time, disappearance becomes a legible, material event through the verbal craft of obscurity. Obscurity is a way of making things disappear with words. ![]() ![]() Therefore, the operating system assumes that the new driver also supports the WaveRT port.

![]() ![]() The major live-action releases (including all the films within the Skywalker Saga) were nominated for Academy Awards. The combined box office revenue of the films amounts to over ten billion dollars, and it is currently the second-highest-grossing film franchise. Other unspecified films are reportedly in early stages of development. Two films have been officially announced as being written: one from Patty Jenkins titled Rogue Squadron and an untitled movie from Taika Waititi. Two standalone films were produced and released between the sequel trilogy films: Rogue One (2016) and Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018), both set between the original and prequel trilogies. Following Disney's 2012 acquisition of the franchise, these earlier films were dropped from the official canon, but the theatrical animated film Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) and its television series continuation retain their canonical status. The first three spin-off films produced were the made-for-television Star Wars Holiday Special (1978), The Ewok Adventure (1984) and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor (1985). After creator George Lucas sold the Star Wars franchise to Disney in 2012, a sequel trilogy consisting of Episodes VII through IX was released, consisting of Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015), The Last Jedi (2017), and The Rise of Skywalker (2019). Sixteen years later, the prequel trilogy was released, consisting of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999), Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002), and Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005). The 1977 self-titled film, later subtitled Episode IV – A New Hope, was followed by the sequels The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983), respectively subtitled onscreen as Episode V and Episode VI these films form the original trilogy. The film series started with a trilogy set in medias res that was later expanded to a trilogy of trilogies, known as the " Skywalker Saga". Now see the full list of Star Wars movies and shows in order below!

Animated series Star Wars Resistance runs parallel across the three sequel-trilogy movies. ![]() ![]() That now leaves the reconstructive decades post- Return of the Jedi wide open for stories, with The Mandalorian the first to officially toss his helmet in.įinally, we approach the sequel trilogy, as Rey (last name pending) takes on the Jedi mantle in The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker. The infamous Star Wars Holiday Special, no longer canon, can be viewed between Hope and Empire if you’re into that kind of thing.Īdditionally, two 1980s TV movies, Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor (also both now uncanonized) have generally been placed as occurring before Return of the Jedi.īut that’s all that remains for strange satellite films within Star Wars: In 2014, a great disturbance was felt when the Lucasfilm Story Group rebooted the canon, preserving the main films and shows, and punting the associated TV movies, books, games, and comics into the “ Star Wars Legends” category. We’ll see Luke Skywalker emerging from the desert, his hero’s journey against the Galactic Empire seen across A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and The Return of the Jedi. The political thriller series famously leads into Rogue One, a movie whose story events lead directly into the original trilogy. Next in the timeline would be animated show Star Wars Rebels, which takes place simultaneously with Andor. The Obi-Wan Kenobi show is set close after that.Īfterwards, it’s time to meet a certain space rogue in Solo: A Star Wars Story. You can wedge in 2008’s The Clone Wars between Attack and Revenge, which was followed up with its own, much better-received animated series. First comes the prequel trilogy ( The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith), introducing prodigy Anakin Skywalker and his fall from Jedi light side to become Darth Vader. The Star Wars movies are spread across three trilogies, with spin-offs and side-stories filling in the universe’s mythic lore. If you want to watch the Star Wars movies in chronological order, witnessing the separate rises of Anakin, Luke, and Rey as they unfolded in their timeline, we’ve ordered all the movies (and thrown in some bonus Mandalorian) in one complete list.

Why can’t it be treated with the same irony and humour as a film about a non-immigrant? I want to make films in which a characters’ authenticity isn’t reliant on them being noble and downtrodden films where serious themes, and exciting, cinematic narratives aren’t mutually exclusive. The film is a story about Dennis an African-American. I recently read a review that praised a British film for being "a clear-eyed, unsentimental study of immigrant life”. Straight Out of Brooklyn is a 1991 independent film directed by Matty Rich in his directorial debut. What would it actually be like to be in the position of Eve Marie Saint’s character in North By Northwest, or Faye Dunaway in Chinatown? There are serious explorations of belonging, identity and gender in this film, but I also wanted it to be a piece of entertainment. As a female filmmaker - and one very interested in the tropes of genre films, especially noir - I’ve always wanted to write a story from the perspective of the femme fatale, ever screwing the noble (and always male) lead over. ![]() There are now more Eastern Europeans living in London than any other immigrant group, yet for some reason they’re always absent from our screens. As a London-born filmmaker, I’ve always been amazed how few London stories - specifically about "foreigners” - are made into films. As a half-Russian, half-Polish filmmaker, my interests have often led me to stories and characters from Eastern Europe and ex-Soviet Bloc countries. Though there’s a heroine and a villain in the film, I wanted each character to "have their reasons” - to feel real and relatable. In fact, it was so far-fetched that I decided to take it down a notch, distilling the story down to something smaller, with three characters who all want something from each other, but there’s no way all three can come out on top. I’ve always loved the quote from Jean Renoir that goes: "the awful thing about life is this: everyone has their reasons.” The idea for So Far So Good originally came from something I heard from a lawyer about a really elaborate honeytrap scam that sounded way more like a movie plot than something that could actually happen in real life. ![]() ![]() SDI switches between 270 Mb/s standard definition SDI, 1.5 Gb/s HD-SDI, 3G-SDI and 6G-SDI.
