Truthfully, it probably has more to say than <i>Arrival</i> does, but my choice is absolutely a personal one.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-12488229416111657652020-07-05T20:09:35.149-05:002020-07-05T20:09:35.149-05:00Moonlight takes it for me, but Arrival isn't a...Moonlight takes it for me, but Arrival isn't a bad choice at all. Still, I'd have it third behind The Handmaiden in an open field.<br /><br />I know they had no shot at noms, but I would have loved to see Deadpool and Rogue One there. I still need to see Lady MacBeth.Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634519605152190304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-37004296430954293012020-07-03T20:08:44.006-05:002020-07-03T20:08:44.006-05:00I'm not going to claim rationality when it com...I'm not going to claim rationality when it comes to Arrival. It really does feel like a movie made for me--one of my grad school professors was interviewed in Slate about it.<br /><br />My five nominations would almost certainly be Arrival, Moonlight, The Handmaiden, Lady Macbeth, and Hunt for the Wilderpeople in some order, but Arrival is always winning for me.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-82974426978986464692020-07-03T15:36:19.900-05:002020-07-03T15:36:19.900-05:00I will disagree with you respectfully on Arrival w...I will disagree with you respectfully on <i>Arrival</i> which I liked but <i>Moonlight</i> had the better script but where's <i>The Handmaiden</i> by Chan-wook Park which was an adaptation of Sarah Waters' novel <i>Fingersmith</i>? That was one of the best films I had ever seen. I'm also with you on <i>Hunt for the Wilderpeople</i> and <i>Lady MacBeth</i> which are awesome films.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
