Very Mature Film

That was before Disney took over the films though.

IMO

It was better than The Force Awakens.

I'd really like to know, in what way is this movie mature? Traditional Reed is the dictionary definition of maturity, but Teller's version behaves like a spoiled adolescent.

In the kingdom of the blind, you're the village idiot.

He won't. That isn't the trolling way.

Dark gritty color for dramatic effect.

If you want convincing and developing characters, a well written script, good dialogues, an excellent cast, a great musical score and an attitude that rejects the militaristic habitus in general, this one is for you.

This is storytelling without telling too much. We have four troubled kids, but their background is not overdrawn at all. There are just some little hints: the impressive face of Miles Teller and the laconic remark "My parents weren't interested" tell a story that needs no staged melodrama. Likewise the problematic relation between Johnny Storm and his father.

Talking about Johnny Storm: the movie makers made him afro-American and used the character to illustrate the perfidious habit of the US military to enlist young black men with poor social background and dull prospects.
