  • You asked, I deliver: the Neoclassicism tangent receives the full-video spotlight it deserves.
    But there's plenty more architectural and art-historical analysis where that came from. So if this kind of thing seems fun, please comment and let me know!
    SOURCES & Further Reading: "Francesco's Venice" by Francesco Da Mosto, "A History of Venice" by John Julius Norwich, "Renaissance Architecture" via Britannica, and many many many hours spent staring at buildings in Italy.

      Blue expressing his love for something is inherently delightful - so much so that it can overshadow and even make incidental the "something" in question. Honestly, I kinda wish my own art history teachers showed his level of authentic passion.

      This is what makes the OSP videos worth watching, I feel. Not just Blue but Red also. When they put together a video about something they want to talk about, they put the effort into doing it in a way to tell us WHY they like that topic and WHAT about it we should look at.
      The topics might bounce around quite a bit, but they're always interesting because it's interesting *to them*. The enthusiasm comes through, and that can make a script or concept which seems boring actually... be fun.

The Romans, the Jews, the christians and the muslims all burned down a version of the library of Alexandria. Al Murry the english stand up comedian has a joke about, how to spot a bougiour uneducated snop. its basicly just hearing who cant stop speaking about the library without knowing anything about the library. Ceasar famously burned down the library, but the movie "Agora", with Rachel Weisz, is set in the library in the 4th century. Hero of Alexandria the most famous professor at the library died in the year 70, around 100 years after Ceasar burned down the library.

      Take a look at modern Washington DC, note that all the neo-classical buildings and monuments date back to the 18th and 19th centuries. None of the monuments or government building built since about thd 1940s have been in neo-classical style, but rather have almost exclusively been built in a style known, and no I am not making this up, "Brutalism". You know, the style of flat unadorned concrete, small windows, and plain box style buildings? That and what I think is termed neo-modern (lots of plain, flat, unadorned glass and steel) are heavily favored by architects and design committees, whereas the average person prefers, when surveyed, styles like neo-classical (especially for government buildings), neo-gothic, and art neuvo (I think is the name) styles (think Gotham City for neo-gothic and think Metropolis for art neuvo). All architectural styles that have been heavily out of favor among architects since the mid 20th century...

    It's not just Washington DC and European government buildings that use neoclassical architecture to evoke classical sentiments, you can also see it in several locations throughout Star Wars.
    Like the City of Theed on Naboo has lots of neoclassical architecture because Lucas wanted to commutate to the viewer what the planet of Naboo is all about democracy. He knows many of us subconsciously associate such architecture with Rome and the ideas it represented and by packing the Theed with such architecture, we associate it and Padme with republics and democracy. It's a fantastic example of Lucas using the setting to visually convey sentiments without even having to explicitly say them.
    This goes even further because building off the the sentiments, themes can now be conveyed thanks to what the architecture represents. Naboo and Padme represent the last ideals of democracy in an increasingly corrupt Republic. Naboo is attacked by the Trade Federation (as a proxy for the Sith) so we can interpret this as an attack on democracy. Not only that, this first film is preview for what will happen later in the Prequels when the Sith truly destroy the Republic and democracy is defeated.
    Lucas basically told us what the prequels were going to be all about and established key characterizations all with the help of architecture. It's also no wonder that neoclassical architecture only appeared in the prequels because that was the only time of democracy. Lucas didn't have any such architecture in the OT because there was no democracy, only Imperial oppression and he needed to communicate that again with the setting.
