Its shot gorgeously. Every single frame is incredible. I love John Williams score. The performances in this movie are brilliant. Adam driver as kylo ren, the whole concept of the light and the dark side of that character is amazing. I love the new characters as well, played by kelly marie tran. Also laura dern has my favorite arc in this entire film. Now, on the negative side, i did not like the direction that Luke Skywalker was taken in this film. I thought he was unnecessarily comedic and very grumpy, and in my opinion, it felt like the director was making a mockery of the big scenes the fans were looking forward to, specifically the end of the force awakens, when we see rey handing that lightsaber to luke. We were wondering whats gonna happen in episode viii, and in my opinion, the version tha

Mid1930s, there began to be talk about creating a bridge over puget sound, which reached from tacoma to the peninsula. The bridge was opened on the 1940, after two years of construction. The tacoma narrows is also a bit of a wind tunnel. People working on the deck began to notice movement. An almost like airplane winds, lift in the bridge. Unlike just horizontal movement, began to feel a vertical lift in the bridge, especially in the center span.
