Anakin Skywalker was in love, and wanted to save his lover from an untimely death. The Empire’s leaders were once Jedi, and all too familiar with the cult’s ways. The Empire was established in response to the Jedi, to protect the Republic from a growing threat. They even train their children as “Holy Warriors.” While abstaining from, and discouraging, any sort of emotion, including love, they engender rebellion, treason, and treachery. The Jedi are dispassionate, cold, and ruthless. Then we see that the Jedi is actually a cult, one built on false promises of good and manipulation. The Empire are initially shown to be their polar opposite. The Jedi are initially shown to be well-meaning, dressed in white robes and evasive of the “dark side” of the Force. Star Wars is commentary on the relativistic nature of humanity, or basically, how what’s “good” and what’s “bad” is a matter of perspective. Black and white represent this disposition.įor example, let’s look at Star Wars. We are all naturally disposed to fear the dark and embrace the light. * Furthermore, the limited direction, appearance and equipment of the character, long narrow tunnel, and other environmental factors suggest that mandating racial equality unfairly restricts the freedom of those who earned their societal privileges through blood, sweat, and tears.īut yeah, I can see your point too…but if you are correct that would be a whole different issue where the author(s) subconsciously injected topics they didn’t mean to (yes, I’m being naive enough to say that).
By fuelling hatred, the player can bring down the power and privilege allegedly gifted to the boss and thereby destroy the boss who holds the player captive. * The rope hangs above a chandelier that symbolizes power and privilege. * Killing the boss requires burning the rope, which appears to be the type of rope used for the nooses employed by lynch mobs however, the tremendous size of the boss monster precludes using the rope in such a way. * Once at the top, the bridge to the other side appears destroyed with gaps where one misstep can be injurious to the player and force the player to try again. This path provides the player with a torch, perhaps a torch of liberty. * The path around, however, is arduous, necessitating that the player exert a greal deal of energy to reach the top. The size and systematic viciousness of the boss encourages the player to seek a safer path around. * The “boss” is shown to be a black, block-headed monster that towers over the player. The player is told that these weapons will have no effect on the “boss,” further emphasizing a current state of hopelessness. * The throwing axes are weapons of courage and persistence because close combat requires a personal touch. Skinheads are traditionally members of the working class however, in the last forty years, many white male skins have aligned with white nationalist, sometimes extremist, movements. * The red shoes can be construed as red-laced shoes, which are associated with skinhead gangs. * In the U.S., the derby hat is associated with “the well-to-do that had risen from the working class.” * Character appears to be donning a derby hat, wearing red shoes, and equipped with throwing axes. * Player is thrust down a pit, possibly a sewer, as an angry white male where the player can move in only a single direction: forward. * Black “start” screen represents an empty and lonely void that whites are bound to experience if they don’t act. You Have To Burn The Rope is racist sociopolitical commentary on affirmative action, promoting revolution through the use of violence against Obama Barack, should he be elected to the Office of the President. It’s just one of many interpretations I can devise. Everyone apparently wants games to be art, so let’s see… For the record, I don’t believe this crap.
