STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI

December 16, 2017 By Leave a Comment

STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI

Good and evil are inextricably entwined in STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI.  It makes for a pleasing metaphysical subtext to a film with spectacular action sequences, pointed references to the political economics of the class struggle, and a character in Benicio Del Toro whose nihilism carries with it a whiff of Zen philosophy at its… Read More »
