THE MOVIE THAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT

If you do not know what the movie is that everyone is talking about, then the premise of the title is false. Still, I think that you can figure out that I am talking about Star Wars: The Force Awakens.  As the months and years were approaching after this film was announced, I had little interest. Only about 48 hours prior to its Friday release, did I get bitten by the hype.  I read that that this movie was much like the original films from the late 70's early 80's. I read that the film had a mix of action, emotion and humor. Everything that I read turned out to be true. I went with my 13 year old daughter who had low expectations for this film. As I sat in my reserved seat, which completely reclined, with some snacks that were 'smuggled' in from the outside, I found myself transported to another time and place. The movie claims that the action takes place "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...."  That is meant to be the location and timeline of the story. I found myself transported a long time ago, not quite in far away galaxy, but far enough from where I am now. I found myself transported into the 17 year-old who viewed that first movie nearly 40 years ago when I was living on Long Island. The movie surprised my daughter who also enjoyed it. The movie was both new, inventive and familiar all at once. This prediction is not too difficult to make: The movie will be financially successful. It deserves it.
