thank you steven spielberg for creating a male and female protagonist who are the only two people of their kind on earth, who understand each other better than anyone else, "whatever you do, don't let go', who are literally DESTINED to meet each other and are literally spelled out to be goddamn soulmates and narrative foils

and not making their relationship romantic even though it would've been the easy thing to do.

I love a movie where the point is that empathy is not only good but essential for the survival of a species and once you can put yourself in someone else’s shoes and understand their circumstances in even a small way, you can be an unstoppable force for good. Also aliens are real.

this isn’t a spoiler but in disclosure day (2026) one of the characters says she left the church not because she stopped believing in god but because she stopped believing that god was divine. they gloss over this and at no point in the film does she elaborate. I don’t care about what else is going on. let’s sit down and discuss this
