I was expecting a generic alien invasion movie, and I was pleasantly surprised
I need to give this a rewatch

Read the short story before re-watching. Definitely gives you a better perspective.
I know that I enjoyed this movie but I don't remember it at all. Yay, I get to watch it again like it's new.
Me rewatching a movie:
"Oh yeah, I remember this part..."
"Oh yeah, I remember this part..."
So good. I think I listed it as my favorite movie for a while.
I watched it because Lingthusiasm has a podcast episode about it and loved it too!

Watched it last week for the first time. Really enjoyed it
The thing I remember about this movie was that India got mad one of the fictional aliens from this movie decided to land in Pakistan instead of India.
The other thing I remember was that they for some reason decided to show the location on the map as "Punjab, Pakistan" which is even more generic because it's a province not a city.

I could see India being upset over that because it's disputed territory. Edit: This is incorrect, Kashmir is the disputed territory.
No that's Kashmir.
Punjab is technically a region that also happens to be the name of the province in both Pakistan and India since they both encompass the same region.
Thanks, that second fact is what threw me off! So they could have said either and it should not have been seen as a political statement either way (which is how I saw India being upset over it.)
Yeah essentially.
India was just mad because of general rivalry lol
The rule is simple: if uts by Denis Villeneuve, YOU WATCH IT
I don't remember much about the movie, but isn't it one of the movies where time gets wacky?
Really is a good view.
Genuinely one of the best movies of all time IMO
Iβve only watched it once, and I really didnβt like it. I feel like I need to give it another shot though.
Sapir-Whorf always fascinated me when I first read about it in philosophy class
