George Lucas has Been Mistreated

Having studied film for close to two years, and learned to respect its elements, I have found I am an admirer of many things: Literature, games, actors of all kinds, special effects, writing, etc. but through all the factors that make entertainment attractive, the one that draws me to a medium is how it makes me feel—and film has to be one of the most pungent forms for communicating the heart.
 

There are so many creative and original people that make my heart swell when it comes to filmmaking and my list is unending:

Aristomenis (Meni) Tsirbas

Neil Blomkamp

Sam Raimi

Frank Capra

Walt Disney

Steven Spielberg

Mark Foster

M. Night Shyamalan…

(this goes on forever and not just with directors)!

But the movie that has recently touched me to make my heart grow three sizes bigger is George Lucas’ Strange Magic. It's full of love, warmth, talent, amazing visuals, and great music that will get stuck in your head forever. I highly recommend it if you need a lift-me-up:bademoticon:.

It’s currently out of theaters, but is estimated to be on DVD and BluRay in April. Half of the reviewers who hated on this did so just because George Lucas was the creative drive behind it and the other half hated musicals.

I have nothing against you if you hate musicals because everyone has their own taste in genre, but I DO have a problem with people hating on other people. Angry fans have raged and hated on George Lucas since he revised the original Star Wars trilogy in 1997, but I am standing in his defense as a creative mind myself. George Lucas is a technological connoisseur. His brilliant mind loves to experiment with new technology and use the latest achievements to his advantage. He said in an interview with the American Film Institute that he made the original trilogy with what was available to him and then tried to justify the vision still in his brain in 1997 with CG. This happens to a lot of filmmakers and other creatives and let me tell you first hand it is one of the most frustrating, and disappointing, things in the world. It breaks our hearts to have to suck it up and give to the world only a fraction of our ideas when we want viewers or readers to get the full experience.

For Strange Magic, I feel like Lucas may have put a bit of personal emotion into what the characters had to go through since he was the head writer and creative guide for the film. His wife got up and left him when he thought she loved him as much as he did her and ended up raising his adopted kids alone. He is recently remarried and back in love and I say good for him!

All I can say is haters gunna hate, hate, and hate and all we can do is shake it off  . But when I see something like this:

I feel all warm inside and have a peace knowing that creativity and emotion is being done right.

Thank you George Lucas. You are a precious treasure to this world .
