 It affected me. I definitely think I appreciated it more because I read the short story first. It's not like translating a story about language and communication to the screen and making it interesting is easy. Maybe this has been mentioned already, but in the original short story, the aliens made sounds instead. I wonder what creative decisions led to the design of the visuals that indicated alien language.
