"I think I have this thing where I need everyone to think l'm the greatest, the quote unquote Fantastic Mr. Fox. And if they aren't completely knocked out and dazzled and kind of intimidated by me, then I don't feel good about myself."
So many notable quotes from this film truly spectacular and different from anything I’ve seen before and it all comes together very well.

“My friends think I like to fight, but it’s just not true-sometimes I lose my temper and blow off a little steam, but I never enjoyed it. I’m not a violent dog. I don’t know why I bite”
I think very few people can genuinely relate and understand many Anderson films. This scene in specific I related to. He talks about how much he hates being seen as this angry, rabid dog—how he doesn’t even know why everyone thinks he likes…

I’ve seen so many people compare this to Interstellar which is fair, but in my opinion Arrival was slightly better such a beautifully well written and thought provoking film. Both film's make you question the human condition by changing our underlying constant, which is time. Arrival is on an another level in the sense of creativity, and writing seemed more profound. Interstellar in terms of cinematography and what is more iconic definitely takes the win as Nolan always delivers.
