100/100
It's all so tragic, isn't it? "War!", the opening crawl proclaims, but Lucas captures battles in multiple spaces besides the physical, evoking primal feelings through ancient tragedy and the void of conflicting ideologies haunted by personal agenda. While the conclusion of Attack of the Clones - highlighted by a smash cut from the early Empire to Anakin and Padme's secret wedding - sings to where our heart lies, Revenge of the Sith orchestrates a symphony of broken, corrupt civilization and shattered relationships around a protagonist who we cannot help. His arc - the inevitable shift into Darth Vader - is set in stone, a myth passed down by the fans of its creator, but it isn't celebratory or portrayed…
"So this is how liberty dies... With thunderous applause."
Shit, this still rules. The grimmest, fullest, most cogent, and expressive realization of Lucas' anti-war sentiments (a president starts a war with a rebel group he funded to trick the population and consolidate more power? I sure hope that never happens) and interest in the tragedy of good people trapped in political institutions. The fatalistic plotting that on previous watches read to me as simple franchise mechanics play with far more dread and regret than I remembered and the pure open-wound, operatic mood of the final hour—the apocalyptic anguish and heartache of Mustafar in particular but also the horror gestures that lace Anakin's paranoia/wielding of political power—is easily his finest achievement as a director.
“I did not choke her, it's not true! It's bullshit! I did not choke her! I did not! Oh hi, Obi Wan”
it’s crazy how this movie was bad for a decade, and then it just like....became good
