Arrival

I rewatched arrival yesterday and it reminded me why it holds such a special chunk of my heart. Tbh for a while now i almost forgot why i loved this movie in the first place even though it's always been on my list of favorite movies. What I remember is that I watched it with my cousin for the first time, knowing nothing about it except that it involved aliens and hawkeye. I don't even know who Denis Villeneuve is at that time (crazy I know). Watching it again, the memories came back to me, about why I love this movie so much. Stories that explores time, language, and human conmection are the ones that always fascinates me and arrival is precisely that. It also about grief and choice, about knowing the inevitable and choosing to walk that path anyway. I love it.
