Arrival
“If you could see your whole life, start to finish, would you change things?”
Wow, I didn’t know this director also made Dune & Prisoners (AND Blade Runner 2049). It’s interesting to see what direction a person takes when adapting a piece of fiction into visual media. After reading the story this is based off of, I was unsure of what liberties and ways the story would come alive on screen. Both pieces are great, but with a story as complex as this one (time, aliens, science, linguistics) I find the visual aspect to really enhance what was originally being said with the piece. Great performances, great score, and a wonderful adaptation.
