Free Software fundamentally misses the point. It fails on a practical, ideological, economic, and political level. Let’s examine precisely how (in a slightly different order for the purposes of presentation).

Directors can be either refer to name or the quality they exhibit the most, for Michael Bay those are the explosions, for M. Night Shyamalan are the unexpected twists and for J. J. Abrams are the lens flares. Actually, they were lens flares. c:1 ↩ Reply

To the people complaining, the concerns are understood. There was especially a gross breach of them during a big and important speech. People complained, so he stopped with them. Even for such an impediment, the film wins out to the viewers (as can be seen from the 2.5 times box office return). That has to do with the flow of the film. In retrospect, they did not matter that much. c:2 ↩ Reply

What was of real interest was the fact the film's plot moves from one point to another, leaving the viewers guessing what is about to happen. The glue between the scenes was the superb sense of flow J. J. Abrams has. I struggle to mentally recount all the ways he managed to seamlessly interconnect the shots. Even on the macro scale, by focusing on having the story be fleshed out before the getting on with the filming, made the job of making each scene flow from to another seamlessly easier. ↩ Reply

The film exists in the same universe as the previous installment of Star Trek by J. J. Abrams, which prior knowledge is not a requirement to enjoy the sequel. This is more of a Transformers territory, where the whole franchise has series extending set-ups and pay-offs. With 2 films, there was not much of a pay-off that could've been done. With what was set up, the resolution was had, providing an excellent experience those who saw the first film and followed the Star Trek franchise as a whole . ↩ Reply

In sense, J. J. Abrams is less of a lens flare or blockbuster science fiction director and more so a person giving new life to already established franchises, be it Mission: Impossible, Star Wars, or Star Trek. Just don't have him finish the films, he doesn't really know how to do that. ↩ Reply

I leave you with a farewell. ↩ Reply
Space, the final frontier. 
These are the voyages of the J. J. Abrams
Its 20 year mission
To explore strange new worlds
To seek out new films
And new installments
To boldly go where no man has gone before.
To the *[The Great Beyond](https://w.wiki/HbUn)*

There is a shyamalan twist in the meaning of this paragraph.

[icon reviews]Is "The BFG" 2016 about the Epstein files?

2016's Steven Spielberg movie The BFG ( or the Big Friendly Giant ) is about a relationship between a little girl ( played by Ruby Barnhill ) and a giant old man ( played by Sir Mark Rylance in his second collaboration with Spielberg ). At some point the movie becomes about a conspiracy to manipulate the Queen of England herself ( played by Penelope Wilton ) to use her help, so that haters of BFG's relationship with the girl will be defeated with military force. So obviously it begs the question: Is this movie actually about Jeffery Epstein?

[icon reviews]The Fifth Element 1997 is the most tragic film in Luc Besson's career

It is not a spoiler in 2025 that the message of Luc Besson's 1997 film The Fifth Element is "Love". The fifth element itself ( a revelation in the end of the film ) appears to be Love. And the thesis is that Love is the thing that can defeat the evil in the world. But looking at the film and the behind the scenes drama around it, you can say that Besson didn't really mean love in its purest sense. But he was instead preaching a Bonobo Philosophy. Where "love" or in modern language sex, is used to deescalate conflict. Bonobos are known to fuck each other instead of fighting with each other, making themselves more peaceful. Looking at how horny The Fifth Element ( and Luc Besson ) is, the Bonobo philosophy theory sounds to be a much more plausible reading of the film. Making it very tragic indeed.
