Amy Adams & Denis Villeneuve Reunite 8 Years After 'Arrival' | Vanity Fair

[@StephenDedalus74]

@@hay_bail1 The beautiful music in the opening sequence and in the last scene is indeed Max Richter's "On the Nature of Daylight" but the rest is the soundtrack made especially for the film by Johansson (and it is also beautiful and trippy !!!) :)

[@samsoniteman]

A straight up felony!

[@r.c.c.10]

None have deserved it yet in my opinion. They never were the best any given year. Adams' Junebug was probably her best performance but the actual winner was worthy.

[@FloorFourteen]

@r.c.c.10 Sicario and Blade Runner 2049 were the best films of 2015 and 2017

[@r.c.c.10]

@@FloorFourteen For me they were not although they were great. Still, even if they were, that doesn't mean Villeneuve would win an Oscar. I don't know if he is a main producer of those films.

[@iklodyp]

Oscars usually don't go to the most talented artists. Look up how the oscar winner gets voted. SPOILER: the Oscar doesn't go to the first best (by votes).

[@gp873]

Arrival is one of the greatest sci fi dramas of all time

[@StephenDedalus74]

Yes !!! :) My favorite all time movie is "Close Encounters of the third kind" but "Arrival" is still for me today the most accomplished and profound and haunting and beautiful and moving Sci fi film of the 21th century !!! :)

"Une force tranquille" is the perfect way to describe Amy Adams. She absolutely deserved the Oscar for Arrival. Breathtaking performance.

Very thoughtful of them to avoid spoilers for Arrival! Watch it if you haven't yet.

[@ccwoodlands1565]

Wow: “You own her now”. So powerful.

Everytime I rewatch Arrival, it ends with me crying my eyes out. One of the best sci-fi movie ever made and one of my favourite movies ever made, thank you Denis and Amy! ❤

[@ericmannistu3063]

Funny I was crying in the first minute 😭

[@stevenflores5988]

The first scene, anywhere and any time I watch it, always brings me to tears. I knew when this happened the first time I was about to witness something unforgettable.

[@jakem72]

Arrival and Contact - superficially similar plots with completely different themes and characters with completely different journeys into understanding themselves. Both master pieces.

[@stjudetheobscure]

The film begins with the semi-circle of the lecture hall and develops into the circular hallway she walks in the hospital, in part suggesting Adam’s character’s journey and understanding time. There’s so much more to the film than the CGi, acting and script.

[@michaelgreene4816]

Ehhh. Stretching a liiiiitle bit.

[@surferboi61]

not a stretch at all if you have seen other Denis movies. Lots more symbols if you watch carefully.

[@stjudetheobscure]

@@michaelgreene4816 I don’t think so. How many circular hallways have you ever seen in hospitals or hospital drama? They’re straight because you have to move people, beds and equipment through them. Try getting two hospital beds past each other in anything other than a straight hall… Heptapod language is circular, the question Louise asks when explaining the art of translation “What is your purpose on earth?” could be equally applied to her previously linear life but also to the humans she represents, the fact that what appear to be flashbacks are visions of the future, suggesting time is not linear, how Louise remarks on hugging Jeremy Renner’s character that she’d forgotten how much she missed him (in what human language would define as the future). The entire film asks the question of how we might act were our understanding of our lives not linear. Symbols of that question are everywhere.

[@pseudonymousbeing987]

​@@michaelgreene4816 Its one thousand percent intentional you should more carefully watch more of his films. Furthermore I seem to remember him mentioning it in an interview.

[@elliotcrane]

@@surferboi61 There are also symbols in everything if you happen to watch TOO carefully.

[@rhclark6530]

As a life long science fiction reader it is a no brainer for me to say that Arrival is so far the best science fiction movie made. Not only a great story and a great film, but it captures the essence of the spirit of great SF. What it is that makes it a unique artform.

[@linkgoldi4697]

Finally , a reunion. Arrival is one of my top four movies. Love amy adams❤

An absolute masterpiece! The short story is very different but equally wonderful. Amy's performance in this is so beautiful, full of humanity and empathy, very apt for a field linguist.
