Sorry for the delay:

1. "Partially, but it also obeys your commands", I just re-watched it.

It's a bit vaue to wor! with, since he used that oortunity to e#lain the inter-connectivity of the

rincile, very reminiscent to the unified field theory centered around sirituality.

$. %omletely areed. &ost of her victories are lausible. ut only on a micro level, ta!en without a

eneral comosition. ut as story arcs on their own they seem oorly imlemented.

(sually this haens to a roduction when there it doesn't ossess the necessary sace for the creative

team with a benevolent financier that understands the rocess and refrains from corrutin it.

)ou !now, *ollywood roducers insist that a full blown movie ta!es 1+ years to create. bviously, most of

this is sent in the develoment hase lon before a sinle word of scrit is written. eveloment ta!es

time. finely laced idea ta!es refinement to f lourish, and refinement ta!es talent times effort times time.

brams clearly had too much influences hoverin all over him to ut it all toether. *is secialty is teasin

the audience and reservin the mystery, but in /ost he eventually showed that he can sell an unfinished

roduct as a mystery. 0I'm a hue fan of /ost, nevertheless

ll of these reasons miht e#lain just why the ideas that wor! on the story-line level aren't well done in

the final scrit, as well as directin itself. director's tas! is to imbue the creative team, actors included, with the sirit of the vision he's develoed,

and uide and coordinate their efforts so it all fits.

&ostly, a director's wor! is a balance between camerawor! and actin. 2ot that they3re mutually

e#clusive, but it both falls onto a sinle3s erson3s resonsibility and mostly a director doesn3t et to e#cel

at both within a sinle roject.

S45 shows lots of sins of rust you et with student films. )ou can clearly see some te#tboo! mista!es.

irectin showin sins of a botched wor!, atched u in editin but clearly a failed shootin day.

Sometimes it3s observant to a trained eye that !nows the craft, li!e in the 6force-ull-cho!e7 scene. 8he

scene is not thouht out in the directorial sense. 8he act of ullin the officer and !illin him has no

director3s touch, directin the audience3s attention. If you want an e#amle of how this wor!s 9 I believe

6oad to erdition7 to be a ;uite ood e#amle. In it you have many scenes and se;uences which have

the ;uality of carefully caturin your attention, and the camera just suc!in you into the universe.

brams usually delivers on this, but not this time.

)ou had literally layman3s mista!es li!e that would ma!e a film directin student fail an e#am. ecause

they3re technical and brea! immersion. brams ositively !nows this. So, somethin went wron there,

and the result suffered. 8he fine, 1==> in tune with the mytholoy, the metahysics and the hilosohy of Star 4ars, but not

well told.

/et me brea! it down, for you:6She is a suremely talented force user
