I still believe that even in some of the biggest modern block busters and big event movies that try appeal to a mass audience are always some bits of clever artistic ideas, interesting choices of narrative strategies or discussworthy subtexts.
I read an interesting article about Star Wars Episode VII, in which the author argued that it was intended self-referential irony havin one of the main characters being a salvager, because the movie itself was full of allusions aka "old pieces" of the older movies.
What do you think?

I think this isn't your personal blog, and that you should kill yourself.
Thats terrible attempt to give any profound meaning to that unsalvageable movie

>there's many threads about the movie already
>but I'm a special snowflake so I'll start a new one

Analyzing just means trying to describe how a movie works and what narrative ideas may mean. Judging the overall quality in a subjective way is another thing. So you may actually state that there are some clever ideas and choices made in a movie but for you personally it sucked.
I myself am still not sure what to think about the latest Star Wars in terms of overall quality yet.

The movie is very self-referential throughout. The first line is "This will begin to make things right." The movie straight-up acknowledges that it's recycling the plot from A New Hope.

Shit, you are right. I didn't realize that this was actually the first spoken line.

the movie wasn't even one story.
the title crawl implies it's going to be about finding Luke, then after half an hour it's suddenly about a new Death Star.
in the OT the title crawl always directly foreshadows the plot - because that's the point of having one, it makes the story more focused.
here the title crawl is actually an attempt to hide how derivative the film is.
For fans it wasn't really a surprise that they killed Han in this one, but I liked the choice that he was killed off by his own son.
Added some dark freudian oedipus complex like layer to his fucked up character.

This was cheapened by the "Luke, I am your father" thing that has been ingrained in our culture.
