Star Wars Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back

What's the best way to start the blog in the 80's cinema decade?

Why not with one of most engaging sequel of the sci fi genre which is Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back.
Everyone remembers when they were kids and there wasn't cable TV (at least i didn't have), and friday night usually there was a movie on channel 1. I remember watching this movie over and over with my family sometimes. I loved this suspensful and engaging film from the extraordinary saga Star Wars.
The film starts with icy picture in planet Hoth where the rebels were hidden from one of the most intergalactic villain ever, Darth Vader. A sinister dark man with a dark and obscure past who wants to submit everyone to the dark side, the emperor side. We also have Luke Skywalker a soldier of the rebels who fight the emperor and the dark side. Luke and his adventurer pal Han Solo, Chewbacca fought in planet Hoth but the emperor's forces get the upper hand. Luke and his friends are able to escape to the cloud city of their ally Lando. But Darth Vader have already located the safe haven and is going to try to get them over to the Empire. But the good side of the "force"will not go down without a fight.

The Empire Strikes Back its a huge acomplishment from George Lucas, who was determined to create a new, physical cinema of audiovisual effects targeting the audience perspective faculties.
Its an inventive children's film for adults and all age groups can allow themselves to be enchanted its cult-like charm. Star Wars was a milestone of the movie magic thanks to Mr. Lucas, who we have only to thank for is vision. He revolutionized the industry, created a visual effects company, widened our horizons and gave us a view of the future filmmaking.
