STAR WARS THE FORCE AWAKENS, CONTINUITY AND EISENSTEIN

Well after reading some of the zero reviews on Meta critic and reading some of the posts reddit allowed (they deleted those who gave away too much with spoilers.  Does Disney own reddit?)

I tried to cleanse my mind reading Eisenstein film theory, p 150

Film and art even music is about emotions.  How does one control the problem?

The problem as   Eisenstein put it is simple and complex.  “The problem of portraying an attitude toward the thing portrayed.

Eisenstein goes into an analysis of his theory.

But let’s apply this to JJ Abram’s latest film.  (I am not a JJA hater; I loved Alias, and the MI 3-5 films.  I just want him to apply his God given talents instead of being blocked by Hollywood’s money machine)

I did not feel emotionally attached to any of the new characters.  First problem.

Second problem, the characters were flat, and thus the emotional connection could not be established with either the protagonists or the one antagonist.

How could this problem have been solved?

First slowing down the pace of the film   the law of structure.  P 151.

I know I achieved that in my book Siolam- A Black Bart Western.  Now if I could only achieve that in my next novel.
