TFA was emotionally manipulative.

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, yeah. It was like a study in emotional manipulation. You could teach it in a classroom.

[philstar22]

It really was. I don't think that is a bad thing necessarily, and not in this case at all. But it absolutely was intentionally emotionally manipulative. And I loved every minute of it.

[ceebeegee]

I harth Darth!!!!!!

[(Anonymous)]

Literally every movie, book, game with a story, etc. is emotionally manipulative.

[(Anonymous)]

I think the point ayrt was trying to make is that TFA wasn't particularly subtle or elegant about it and that most media has slightly more complex goals than "give audience the feels".


But you probably knew that and just wanted to be pedantic.

[(Anonymous)]

Nah. Some media has more complex goals, but most of it really is just looking to make people feel shit, because that makes them more likely to stick with it and buy into future installments/shell out for merchandise.

[(Anonymous)]

This is such a strangely hyperbolic simplification of media that I find myself wondering if you actually consume any.

[(Anonymous)]

DA Yeah. It didn't work for me. Which isn't to say I always prefer subtle and elegant (I'm a huge action fan) but hamhanded, man, TFA was just hamhanded as fuck. I felt like I was being tongue-kissed by a rhino.

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed. I didn't even think the prequels were that emotionally manipulative, save for the one with the lava battle in it. TFA made me cry like a baby in the movie theater when I first saw it.

[(Anonymous)]

They definitely tried to be that emotionally manipulative. It's just that between the shaky dialogue and the bad direction, they failed miserably most of the time.

[(Anonymous)]

I actually agree. There were some parts that I thought were unnecessary and pandering. As for the rest of it, nope it was still a beautiful installment to the franchise, and as an old star wars fan I happily embrace it.
