From a chat.... they did not ruin anything! see the movie 5 times! there are symbols and a hidden message within the film! it is all about this message and the film's action is like a satellite around it, which could not have been built better for the message to be delivered. of course there are some tweaks here and there that were required(i did not like: the 2 falcon mirrored in the light speed dance, Rey lack of flow in the landing from her training session, lack of come down on the other side of the wave when she was the skipper , as if we do not have to rush to see what.s on the other side; nice allegory though; the fact that the scenes were pictured too fast, from too close or too far distance, and was not too pleased for the eyes, but maybe it is my only point of view; some scenes were forced/ unnatural- kiss , Ben - Solo talk, the spy revealed scene, Ben 's death; nice idea with emperor 's lightning: for a moment it took me to a different direction, which was nice- i thought of Shakespeare and that they will all die that moment lol; nice Shakespearean end but Ben could have fallen differently. I enjoyed the most the scene when they are on the field and the huge waves behind, maybe because it looked similar to the place where I live. Palpatine was awesome: i think he played for the whole team: his attitude and his well chosen words transformed his role into something Extraterrestrial; he was phenomenal. I also have nice words for the other actors and the whole crew there. I would have given 10 but , gave it only 9 because of the fast , too close and too far filming , not seeing too much of the surrounding like in Rogue One for example.) but as a whole , the film was well built and same as the dagger helped Rey to get to that clue reaching her next goal, the same , the film itself points out clues within itself to get to that secret message to be delivered to those who have eyes to see; i think that is what art does - it delivers a message , and everybody sees it the way they want, and that is the beauty of it.
