After that failure, Lucasfilm stepped away from television for a while, returning in 1984 with the premiere of a movie that was designed to spin off into a full series, titled The Caravan of Courage – focusing not on the iconic space battles or the continued adventures of Luke Skywalker, but the Ewoks from Return of the Jedi. George Lucas did have some early conversations with networks, which over the next few months would turn into the Star Wars Holiday Special. The earliest inklings of a live-action Star Wars TV show came about around the same time as the original 1977 release, as science fiction movies had been moving to the small screen, notably Logan's Run and Planet of the Apes. And it is also what makes her a very good role model. ![]() Even though the audience (including me) all want her to drink from the spring and live an immortal life with Jesse, I believe this choice is what makes her very heroic. Unlike Bella Swan in the "Twilight" franchise, Winnie does not give in the temptation of living forever with her true love, Jesse Tuck. This proves to show she is brave and unselfish. She also risks everything to protect the Tucks from having their secret exposed when she helps Angus and Mae Tuck break out from jail. Throughout the movie, she learns and slowly falls in love with Jesse Tuck, the son of the Tucks. Therefore, this makes her very relatable and very sympathetic. She runs away in order to liberate herself from the confined expectations she must live up to. She is cooped up in her house like "a poor, little rich girl." She is also forced to be sent to boarding school, a decision she can't get out from. She is a girl of noble beauty and not at all sexually objectified. ![]() The heroine in "Tuck Everlasting" movie is merely a 15-year-old. The 2002 film adaptation of "Tuck Everlasting" was a movie definitely worth re-watching. In my opinion, the movie has a great cast and has successfully captured the themes and the morals from the book.Īfter re-watching the movie with my sisters, it left me in heavy thought. Although many people liked the book more and there were minor changes in the film, I actually liked the movie adaptation. After finishing the book, our teacher made the whole class watch the 2002 film adaptation of the book. When deciding which movie to watch this summer with my sisters, I remembered this movie called "Tuck Everlasting." During 6th grade, one of the books I had to read for class was Natalie Babbitt's "Tuck Everlasting," which focuses a 10-year-old girl named Winnie Foster who runs away from her home in Treegap to the woods where she encounters the Tucks, a family of immortals who drinks from a magical spring that gives them eternal life. Disappointed with the movies that are out nowadays, I decided to go back to movies in the '80s decade and in the early 2000s. When we think of heroes now, we only think of Marvel superheroes and those in comic books. I know not all heroes are perfect, but why do people look up to these total jerks? It just disappoints me that the perception of heroes is changing. There's more violence to the movies and many women are still objectified as sex objects regardless of the execution of female empowerment.Įven the heroes we look up to like Ironman and Deadpool, are total jerks. I'm afraid that the movies today only reflect the moral decline of today's society. In fact, the movies no longer have any morals anymore. They are only about action and full-packed entertainment. The movies today, other than Disney, don't really have any spiritual value anymore. ![]()
