Just watched the new Star Wars. Can be seen as the epitome of our current entertainment culture. As the grit really did describe well the theme of conflict that seems to be trending a lot these days. The movie was visceral and I would put it above the marvel movies everyone raves about mostly because I like Star Wars better. I found that if the story is stripped down hope embodied the signal tower shooting up and broadcasting to the entire galaxy by the female lead. What a fulfilling sign of dominance she got to experience right before she died. Anyways I was born in the 90s and don't see how any of the movies have gotten any worse. With the improvement of technology maybe the kylo ren could've been less of a baby in the last one. It's hard not to relate to the entertainment industry and how they try to entice us with better writing and strategies. While watching the movie all I could think about was what drew me away from self awareness by being as interesting and leading edge as possible there were a few moments like that in this Star Wars but I guess what makes a great movie is when you forget you're even watching one
