This is my third time watching this Spielberg classic and unlike the last two times, I found it very unsettling (there are a lot of surprising anti-family choices the characters make, and anti-human gestures the aliens make), which I guess goes to show that a great piece of media rewards multiple viewings.
Loved it as a kid, thought it was dumb in my 20s, now I’ve come back around on this classic sci-fi emo thriller, not only did it inspire a whole raft of culture in its wake, it’s honestly pretty inspiring and touching.
