The Force awakens and reminisce the originals

Rating: 8/10 (17 December 2015)

For many years that you have been aching for a good massage. You have been to Thailand many years back and had an excellent massage by the sea. The masseuse applied strange techniques, and you wondered she knew what she was doing. But as her finger touched your upper back, you cried. You cried with joy. It was a feeling like never before. It was something that you could never forget. And in your trip, you went for massage three times, till each muscle in your body and brain was filled with nostalgia.
You tried getting the same feeling again at your local massage parlor. You tried three times, but all you got was disappointment, regret and more craving to visit Thailand again.
Now you learned about opening of a new Thai massage parlor in your town. You are strangely excited, though also scared if it will be again a disappointment like the last three times. But you wait. You watch the shop getting setup with anticipation. You read their brochure - with staff from Thailand. Your hopes go up. On the day of opening you go there to have another full body massage.
And from the first touch you know it's not like the last three times. It's different. It's like the original massage of the Thailand. It uses same everything. The steps of the massage, the scent of the room, even the masseuse looks the same(and then you remember it's racist to think all Asians looks the same).
You tell the masseuse to do you more on the upper back and shoulders, but then you realizes that she doesn't speak English. You tell yourself that it's OK. Your muscles are still touched. Then she goes to your calves and pinch it like squeezing lemon. You remember that you didn't like it first time but it's not something that need to be repeated. But of course, you can't tell your masseuse. You fall into sleep while she's rubbing your head and you ponder about the new Star War movie you just saw.
It got rid of all the bad things in the prequels (i.e. writer and director George Lucas) So you don't have bad dialogs, cardboard characters and dull acting. The fight scenes look real and there are people in the movie you care about. It's really good start to a new trilogy (or quadrilogy, depending on the studious decision to split last movie into two) The actors have acted very well an there are character arcs, which make the conflict so much engaging. There are cool fight scenes and some funny dialogs. It's like the director listened to every complain people had from the prequels and tried to fix it this time, which resulted in a really great movie.
You wake up from your sleep. The massage is now over. You pay the fee and give some more money as tip. You walk out of the parlor feeling great. And as you walk, it comes to you that this massage was too similar to the massage you had in Thailand. It would have been better if they could have got rid of the calf squeezing thing, it doesn't work every time. Also, there were lot of things that didn't make sense. Why did she twisted your earlobes? There is no tension in earlobes to relieve. It took you only ten seconds to walk from counter to cabin, but when the masseuse went to get oil, it took her ten minutes. Lot more things come to your mind, but then you tell yourself that you enjoyed the massage, all these things doesn't matter. You think about your next trip to the parlor and feel excited.
