THX 1138, 1971

THX 1138 presents a mind-altering soundscape, unbelievably unique visuals, and an ultra-futuristic take on forbidden love. The cinematic era of the late 1960s to the mid-1970s continues to surprise me in almost every way - from revolutionary cinematography, to low-budget successes, outrageous stories, to phenomenal actors - and THX 1138 is no exception. The actors were perfect - perfect in portraying the overall feeling and ambiance of this film. Writer/director George Lucas shows examples of what were to become personal trademarks, and sound designer Walter Murch begins one of his first steps towards becoming the most well known and sought-after editor in the industry. A historic piece in bringing about the Hollywood we have today, and a fantastic look into George Lucas' semi-humble beginnings.
