Here we got two posters of Star Wars Episode II : Attack of the Clones. At first sight you might think that they are very similar, but actually they are different in details and have their own meanings.
When it comes to similarity, these two pictures have absolutely the same layout. The title of the movie, the subtitle of the movie, the formation of background characters and the pose of the main character are all the same. Even the directions of two main characters’ lightsabers are very near. The left one Mace Windu seems serious and ready for a big fight, and the right one Count Dooku does too.
On the other hand, these two main roles and their background guys stand for totally different sides. Mace Windu is a jedi master who belongs to justice troops in the movie. Behind his back are a group of jedi knights coming to help this war. Count Dooku, however, is a sith who wants to conquer the world by using clones army after him. Another difference is the hues of these two pictures. It uses warm color tunes to good ones yet cold color tunes to evil ones. Most comparatively, Count Dooku was a jedi master, too. He betrayed jedi army and brought some secrets to sith army many years ago. After all, it is not only a war between light and dark but between honesty and disloyalty.
Nowadays, using this similar layout and hiding some different messages in details is a common way for producers to advertise their movie. Although for people who are not interested in it they are just a series of same pictures, people who are fascinated with it like them very much and can always find trifles and hidden fun from them.
