Questions & Answers about Aquella película me hizo pensar.

Why is it aquella and not esa or esta?

Aquella is a demonstrative adjective meaning that, but specifically something felt to be farther away from the speaker, either physically or emotionally/in time.

In Spanish, the three main choices are:

• esta = this
• esa = that
• aquella = that over there / that one back then

So aquella película suggests that film with a bit more distance, for example:

• a film watched a long time ago
• a film not closely connected to the current conversation
• a film being contrasted with something nearer

Also, aquella must agree with película, which is:

• feminine
• singular

That is why it is aquella película, not aquel película or aquellos película.

Why does película have an accent mark?
