Dept. of Beautiful Things
I Saw "Arrival"
And it was pretty much magnificent. Dennis Villeneuve has created an amazing film based on Ted Chiang's novella "Story of Your Life." I have not read the story, but based on what I saw today, I'll be buying it soon.
It is elegant, intellectually clean, unsettling, and challenging. It is emotionally sonorous. It is beautiful. Amy Adams deserves so much praise for every minute change on her face and in her eyes. Every character, human or otherwise is treated with respect and, as a result, acts in ways that are understandable. The music is amazing, the message about humanity, language, love, and fear, and time, and more, are what you make of them.
If this doesn't win a ton of awards, I will be very disappointed. This entry was originally posted at http://kaffyr.dreamwidth.org/432113.html?mode=reply, where there are currently
