Back in the first film narrative was propelled largely visually. […] There are a few of these that work really well in TFA.
Rey cleaning her finds looks up and sees a departing ship and then notices an old lady cleaning her salvage. […] It’s moments like this a superior scriptwriter and director has the confidence to put into a film with lasers and robots. It gives us a human connection, such moments transcend cultural and linguistic differences.

So true. The first part of the movie is very well told, especially the characters’ feelings, and almost entirely visually. The opening shot, Rey’s desire for a better life and Finn’s decision to leave the battlefield forever.

Yes, of course saying:-

“On a side note, is it me, or things are getting a bit “intense” in this forum? Maybe I’m being misinterpreted, but I do have to say that lately, when I step on a thread about TFA, I’m by some immediately wrongly “accused” of considering this movie “garbage”, and of “bashing” it because it’s trendy or something 😄 )”

is in answer to cyclista’s request advising people to stay on thread instead of immediately accuse(ing) people like it happened to you…

I’m not forcing you to agree, I’m ok with it. But you should quote and consider the entire context, before making a point I anyone can take into consideration. Here, these 2 posts with their relative quotes are enough: 1st and 2nd.

P.S.: So much better using old-school links instead of quotes, to avoid building a wall of text 😄
