Cave of Hands

The prehistoric artwork painted on the walls of this desert cave is not only ancient, but beautiful. There are three distinct styles to be seen, believed to have been created by different peoples at different time periods. But the highlight is what gives Las Cueva de las Manos, or “Cave of Hands,” its name: the hundreds of colorful handprints stencilled along the cave’s walls.

Star Wars Is a Fantasy Film Firmly Based on America’s Real Conflicts

 

[Andy_T]

Indeed, however, that is nowadays incredibly ironic.

In the film’s opening moments, Lucas reminds audiences of another war with mythic implications, America’s Revolutionary War. This conflict ideally suited Lucas’s purpose because it is perhaps the most unambiguous war in American history: the Americans were underdogs fighting a well-equipped empire – but they were victorious. For Lucas it is a compelling and attractive alternative to Vietnam’s moral ambiguities, atrocity and defeat.

Contrast this, for one brief moment, with the message given by Amaryllis Fox, a former CIA counterterrorist analyst:

An Al Queda fighter made a point once during a debriefing.

He said all these movies that America makes, like Independence Day and Hunger Games and Star Wars, they’re all about a small, scrappy band of rebels who will do anything in their power with the limited resources available to them to expel an outside, technologically advanced invader.

And what you don’t realize, he said, is that to us, to the rest of the world, you are the empire, and we are Luke and Han.
