A single 30 second scene, which has Luke telling us about a bad vision is not a proper set up. Show not tell still remains the best technique.This is really true for me. These new films are all tell, tell, tell. Oh look at this flashy thing. I think the prequels were criticized for having so much clutter on the screen visually. These Disney films deserve to be criticized for having too much clutter in the narrative. Pointless characters, pointless subplots. Just enough time to tell you a thing or two and then back to the gimmicks. /mad
So, i know that i am combining complaints from different people. but this is what i am hearing, and it is hard to separate the voices sometimes.
- the movie should have told us that
- no, it shouldn’t tell, it should show
- well, i didn’t see that, they should have told me
