Arrival

rewatched this in film class and absolutely started bawling in the front row as per usual. i’m still a firm believer in the fact that this is a romance movie and the aliens in this film are side characters to louise’s development, almost like they’re an accesory. at it’s core, arrival is a love story. it’s knowing the pain you’re going to face and still choosing to face it. it’s being selfish and watching it all come crumbling down, yet accepting that fate. i’m so unbelievably in love with this film and i always will be.
