It’s also worth noting that this is the film that introduced much of the world to neoclassical composer Max Richter and his beautifully haunting piece “On the Nature of Daylight”, which itself was from his album “The Blue Notebooks”, which he made in protest of the start of the Iraq War. Fitting, isn’t it?

Love this movie. I am so glad that I saw it in theaters. The sound design of this film blew my mind. Also, look up the collaboration between the screenwriter and director on Arrival. It really showed my how much care and craft Villeneuve puts into his films.

I thought because Amy Adams knew she was going to have a daughter that eventually died, she could decide whether or not to take that path, and she decided the short amount of years of having her daughter was worth it, and thats why I love this movie. It reminds me of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in that regard and the theme of its better to love and lose than never to have loved at all.

Monsters, Ink is the top tier goodness we have come for

The whole premise of the short story this is based on is a clever play on classical mechanics. Lagrange gives you the positions and velocities of everything at the start and you figure the trajectories out from there. Hamilton on the other hand gives you just the positions, but at the start and at the end. These two descriptions of the world are equivalent in how much information they give us and thus, we can calculate the same trajectories from both.

Please say "Who abandoned Snoopy in the vestibule?!"

So, they chose her because she understands Farsi? They could just go to LA, and select any random Iranian.
