The bird is a reference to the canary in the coalmine. Miners used to bring a canary in with them so they'd know when it was too dangerous. If any noxious gases were present, the bird would die to give them a warning.
Bird respiratory systems are very sensitive.
@@ddmagee57 This is very true. They say if you have pet birds in your home you shouldnt even cook with traditional nonstick. The PTFE offgasing during high temp cooking can be enough to kill a small bird. Just FYI for anyone who wants their parakeet petey to stick around a little longer before his head falls off lol.
I thought it was a little funny that they were trying to verbally communicate with aliens (who had never heard "earth sounds" before) but they brought a chirping bird to pollute the sound waves
That's so cruel. Couldn't they just pump air into the cave?
This movie always makes me think of a quote from the film Men In Black.
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. "
General Shang wife's last words, translated into English, were "In war, there are no winners, only widows"
Such a beautiful quote.
Is it beautiful? Or just generic phrasing? Every war has a winner unless you're an abstract loser who says something like "both sides lost because both lost many"... .. sounds like hippie leftist rhetoric more than being logical or beautiful tbch. . Only an idiot would find beauty in a quote like that. Js.
Beautiful film, beautiful quote.. I love my man Villeneuve. See his earlier movies if you can. Dude has got talent, and surrounds himself with the best people.
Yeah but, there are winners too
@@Charles-ij1ow No.
@@maybeasinner8007 Are you saying the war is still going on?
Arrival is one the best films in recent memory because it showed that there is room for films that are philosophically thought-provoking and they can be well received, even without wide acclaim.
It had pretty wide acclaim. No idea how it got so little love at the Oscars though. Actually yes I do; awards shows are a joke (for another example, refer to BoJack Horseman and the Emmys!)
This is such a beautiful movie. The premise is great, but even more interesting to me issues with language so often discussed in this film. It reminds me of similar issues presented in Dr. Tyson's answer to a question he once got:
Q: If you could bring Sir Isaac Newton to the modern era to discuss and show him modern physics, what would you talk about?
Dr. Tyson: "There would be a massive gap in understanding because of the advancement of science in the last 400 years. Before you could even get to the discussion of physics, if he saw a car he would go 'What is that?' and you would have to explain the combustion engine and tell him it ran on gas and he would go "What is gas?" and you would have to explain that it was processed biological matter from prehistoric plants and dinosaurs and he would go 'What is a dinosaur?' because none of these things existed in academic thought at the time.
Newton was an absolute genius, discovering calculus (thanks asshole), developing the Laws of Motion, laying the foundation for studying universal gravitation, inventing a reflecting telescope. But he lacked 400 years worth of historical context, culture, and scientific advancement needed to truly understand the heights that science reaches today. To explain nuclear power and particle collision you would have to go back to the foundation as the atom wasn't discovered for over 200 years after his death.
Sorry to go on a rant, but it is just interesting to me how this movie stresses the importance of foundational understanding in order to progress.
Its a poignant and worthwhile rant. It makes you wonder what the conversations will look like in 400 years from now, if humanity still exists.
@@ItsAllBallBearings Indeed! Especially if we continue on our exponential progression and make major breakthroughs in quantum physics, we could even be a Type 1 Civilization by that point, fully harnessing the energy available to us on Earth and progressing towards terraforming and colonizing the Solar System. People could be casually discussing quantum tunneling the way we do with stuff like gravity.
This was originally a science fiction story which is a little gem. "Story of Your Life." I wondered how they would put it on film because in the story you slowly realize what's going on - it's not a "twist" at the end. It's very well crafted. Harder to do in film.
But the film ended up being pretty close and the story author was happy with it.
This movie’s ending never fails to break my heart, what a wonderful piece of art
The General's wife’s last words are “In war there are no winners, only widows.”
Thanks for that!
Ironically, she died before him.
@@kirathekillernote2173 they were not in a war. It would only be ironic if there was a war going on and she died
In my humble opinion, "Arrival" is a top 10 Sci-Fi movie of all time. And there is a metric fuck-ton of incredible Sci-Fi movies.
Denis Villeneuve is just untouchable in the genre.
The most important achievement of this movie, IMO, is that it makes you think about so many things - perception of time, perception of aliens, the actions we take in our lives... Absolutely wonderful movie, must watch material.
Also, you made a comment on how movies set really high bars for love, and while it might seem like something that could hinder you in the future, seeing so many ways of love shown in great detail might not only cause you to understand what true love is, but also help avoid heartbreak from getting involved with someone who doesn't deserve said involvement, help in identifying those red flags. Not to mention the fact, that everyone deserves to experience real and true love, even if it ends up being kind of brief and painful, like it was shown here, in the flashbacks.
That's why it is such good scifi. Good scifi always makes you think.
Something that a lot of people miss is that Abbott knew he/she was going to die - because "there is no time" - yet he/she also went ahead with the mission.
THis is one of my favourite movies. Another brilliant movie, kind of similar in tone is The Time Traveller's Wife - the Eric Bana movie. Its beautiful.
Abbott's sacrifice made it clear how important the mission was. He did not only know when he was going to die but also what would happen in 3000 years.
Watched this movie 10 times by now and it hits the same every single time. so good
I highly recommend "Wind River" with Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olson after that, best performance from both
That shootout scene
I recommended that one to the other reviewer a few weeks ago. Arianna.
"Wind River" is a sleeper. I watched it a few years ago out of curiosity and turned everyone I know had seen it and raved about it.
I have a theory that it's the music that makes people emotional at the end and the beginning. Max Richter's "On The Nature of Daylight" hits the feels expertly.
I was just telling my mom this yesterday. A lot of the movies/scenes that make me cry the hardest have good music that hits a certain tone in time with what's happening on screen.
Well sorry to be that guy, but you just rediscovered a long and well known fact.
This was already well known since the time of opera and possibility before.
And since then, never forgotten, always applied, in every show where it was needed. Early silent cinema had pianos for a reason.
Emotions can be vastly manipulated through music. That can transform a plain, emotionless actor into an apparent subtle genius.
However it can also simply be correctly used to highlight the right tone, as in this movie I believe.
"They look like they could do some damage.," I love when Maple says exactly what I'm thinking.
Yes! This movie is great! Actually, everything Villeneuve’s made is fantastic. Should definitely react to more of his movies. Prisoners, Dune and Enemy would be my top picks.
Yes definitely needs to watch more of Villeneuve’s work! My top picks would be Incendies, Sicario, and Blade Runner 2049 which I guess goes to show how great they all actually are.
I think Enemy might be a bit too art-house and metaphorical for this series personally, but otherwise there's no end of masterpieces by Villeneuve they could tackle.
The bird is like what the used to take into mines to trace gases. The bird would die and then they’d know to get out
Maple got no business looking this good.
Stop Simping
@@ponfed why?
Whats wrong with simping?
Dude see’s some boob and cant just comment like a normal person.
@@faisalkhan-jo1sw nobody wants your harassment.
@@DNotzz harassment? telling someone they look good is harassment?
What a lovely picture...and the movie was pretty good too. lol
This is my favorite film of all time. Absolutely amazing from beginning to end.
As someone who isn't at all emotional, this movie fucking killed me, i completely teared up at the end, which I haven't done in decades. Amazing film, perfect.
"...there is a difference between knowing the path, and walking the path." - *_Morpheus_*
The difference is in having hope and courage. tavi.
U misspelled "Morbius"
@@jasontodd8811 The pain.
Me and my sister went to see this in theaters I remember when she said that line “who is this child you keep showing me” we both stopped and looked at each other pretty shocked expressions on our faces just the perfect twist that you understood right away
"Why do we have a bird?" Canary in a coal mine. Early warning system for bad air.
When they say "Film is art", this is what they mean.
One of the most unique, surprising and heart breaking sci fi movies I've seen in the last decade or so.
This movie is the reason I will give everything that Dennis does a chance.
it's such a beautiful and well told story.
i cry everytime I watch it
This movie fucks me up. Because we all know that everything we know will end. All things must die. But we embrace them anyways, because in this moment they are real, and they are comforting, and once they have happened, once those connections have been made, they will *always* have happened. You exist. You will always have existed. Your presence here will echo on through eternity, and maybe there is a place or time or thing where that presence can be heard or felt. And it's good to make the leap, to be in the moment, so that you can build on that echo and make it something special.
All of us have a beginning. We've all been born. The state before and after our life is the same. We think about death because that's where we're heading in time but we've all been dead before.
One of my favorite sci fi movies. The whole language aspect of this is so interesting.
Absolutely. It's something you don't think about. Well, unless you're a linguist, lol. But our environment shapes our language, which in turn literally wires our brain, which reinforces how we view our environment. I think about how, because of that, it's so hard to translate some concepts between our own cultures. Can you imagine with a whole alien race?
Really committed to growing the channel I see
This movie is so beautiful and haunting. Amazing twist. This music is wow. One of the best directors
Once upon a time a canary was brought into coal mines to be used to monitor leaks of dangerous gases. The canary would drop and die first and the coal miners had some extra time to escape.
The “shut up, don’t say the sweetest thing ever”
24:50 "Language is the foundation of civilization. It is the glue that holds a people together. It is the first WEAPON drawn in a conflict."
When it came out it surprrised me overly positively... and the emotional and ehtical question in the end is beautiful because its one of the few in the world that simply has no correct answer. I simply cant tell if i would have that baby or not. You have to be in the same situation as her to make your decision and no matter how you decide, its neither wrong nor right.
To lose a child and then to watch this movie . . . tears everytime.
I am sorry, sir. I'm sending you a virtual hug.
Aw I hope you're heart is healing I'm sorry to hear this also sending a big hug - Maple
I absolutely loved this movie. Problably my second favorite sci-fi. You know the movie is going to be good once it starts with On the Nature of Daylight( first heard it in shutter island), and with that amazing cinematography, colors, impactful relation between daughter and mother. Andd maaan, that ending broke me... when you realize she knew what was going to happen, but she decided to live that cause of the good moments. That's so precious
Yeah I'm simpin HARD for maple again 😅😂
You know what surprised me the most about Diegesis? It wasn't the indepth film analysis. It was seeing Maple.
What movie did we just watch?
Not sure, but I think it was about motorboats.
This movie is setting your expectations for love where they SHOULD be.
And that love doesn't have to mean happily ever after to be worthwhile.
Fun Fact: Amy Adams played Tara Maclay's cousin Beth in Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Family" (5x06).
"Don't get jazzy with it in the egg babe" I believe you have your next merch slogan.
One of the greatest sci-fi movies ever, and the start of Denis Villeneuve's trifecta along with "Blade Runner 2049" and "Dune: Part 1" (and soon to be his grand slam with "Dune: Part 2").
As much as I enjoy the others, and particularly love Dune (big fan of the novels), this is his best in my opinion.
Thank you Diegesis for showing Maple this one-of-a-kind film. I cannot wait for the discussion. This is a film that I wouldn't call "obscure" but definitely went under the radar and most people never saw it, which sadly means it's also underappreciated.
What a masterpiece! Denis Villeneuve is probably my favourite living movie director. He's one of them for sure.
"GODDAMMIT THAT'S ROMANTIC!" 🤣
I was listening to this in the background and 1:20 caught my ear. Like.....what ABOUT "porch keys?" haha, I love this movie. Thank you so much for reacting to it.
They used to take canaries into coalmines. If the canary died, then there was an oxygen issue. Same strategy here
This film broke me whilst also bringing a sense of acceptance and understanding for my fellow man. Its a genuine masterpiece of cinematography in my opinion. I found myself in tears a couple of times during this film.
Yeah Denis doesn't miss
Incredible movie, Denis Villeneuve always hits it out of the park
I've noticed from the reactions that Maple is a super sharp and smart, picking up on all the little details right away :) Also this movie, one of the most amazing things besides the story is the sound design. Its so well done.
Brilliant, clever, warming, imaginative movie. As a sci fi geek, this is one of my favs. Right up there with The Day the Earth Stood Still (the original)
The soldier that planted the bomb was the same one that talked to his scared family
you're literally just reacting to all of my favorite movies 😂😂
Hi ya'l! I'm excited. Man, I love this film. See you in a bit. :)
The movie upends the basic language of cinema to mess with your head. The opening montage of the child is followed by a shot of Amy Adams, so you automatically assume that was her past. She goes about her day with a pretty neutral expression, but you feel like she's depressed because you think she's lost her child and are projecting that emotion on her.
Very Hitchcokian.
I love this movie! Very realistic on how an alien encounter may look like, as opposed to other movies where aliens come and start speaking English, lol.
“Shut up, don’t say the sweet thing ever. Yeah, shut up!”
Such a great movie. Awesome reaction.
Maple is sharp, she’s a gem.
Yeah she picked right up on the twist. Not all reacters do.
Really smart science fiction used to only happen once in a blue moon. It's still far too rare, imho. But movies like this have proven that they can be successful. You just need a great director who really understands smart science fiction (like Kubrick and Villeneuve) to sell it.
As soon as I saw this thumbnail I clicked on it. This movie is so good.
yes, yes.....the movie. 🤣
Its a very small clarification but iI think the reason he can't handle it isn't so much that she got sick but that it means she knewnher daughter would die young and they would have that pain and went ahead with it anyway. I think that's what he couldn't handle
Wait ... there is a movie playing somewhere?
4:00 Maple I am with you 100% on this. Taking 15 minutes and explaining to her a little bit more what's going on and showing her some pictures is a major weakness of this otherwise excellent movie. It aggravated the heck out of me.
But I love the rest of the movie.
5:45 they're there to test the air for poison. Birds have very fast respiratory systems. You ever heard of the phrase a canary in a coal mine? If there's something present in the air that kills humans it will definitely kill the bird first.
18:53 tonight the ants in the kitchen declare war against the housewife. I mean seriously what do you expect? Them not to utterly destroy us if we become an actual threat to them. At the very least we're going to lose contact with them completely.
Last time I watched arrival noticed how Luoise is walking in curved/circular corridor at the hospital 00:55
maybe just a silly detail but still pretty cool.
28:18 I got pretty damn emotional at the ending too. I didn't cry but I got goosebumps. I'm sure if I was feeling more vulnerable for some reason that would have had me shedding some tears. I saw some comments on another site that had people saying this movie was boring or something like that. Idk what is wrong with those people. I loved this movie and it was freaking beautiful (especially at the end there).
Hopping on the ‘Children of Men’ bandwagon and saying: please do Children of Men soon if maple or arianna have not seen it
Initially I thought it was a weird thing for him to say to her, when he said: Do you wanna make a baby? But maybe he said it because he also had been dreaming of the future like her.
The version of him that said it was a version where they had been together a long time. It's from her memory in the future of her drinking wine at their house
@@Diegesis Ahh that makes even more sense!
A ball rolling on a flat surface.
Trying to decide if Maple understands how good she looks…
One of my favourite movies!
So many people watch this movie and believe it is about communication but that's only a fraction of its meaning. It is an exploration of Nietzsche's concept of Eternal Recurrence and his philosophy of Amor Fati (love of fate). Knowing what joys and pains await you and embracing them all, embracing life in it's truest expression.
They're looking good maple,huh I mean you're looking good.
This movie is a masterpiece.
This movie forces you to rethink about time that is experienced in both a linear and non-linear way. Like pieces of a mosaic but with the ability to see what the final pattern looks like, but ensuring the right pieces are put in place, in different sections that must connect with other sections in order to achieve the pattern. It's like being the only person in a room of thousands of people working on the mosaic, who knows how to properly put the pieces together and taking steps that ensure each person is doing it correctly in order to create the pattern--even if each person doesn't realize it. At least that's how I saw it.
You guys loved Band of Brothers. You guys should reallllly watch the Pacific. It’s companion piece. It’s just as good.

Damn! Where did I put that helicopter?
Still saying "Arrival" is not referencing the aliens showing up; it references the moment that the heptapod language 'arrives' in Louise's consciousness and the ensuing change in her perception of (& movement within) time.
The language, when fully-grasped, appears to allow one to move anywhere within one's existence's timeline at will. So the heptapods knew Louise was the one to bring their language to humans; they also knew there was a bomb that would result in one of them 'entering death process'.
It was that reverie where Louise foresees the book she will write, the classes she will teach, that marks the moment the language 'arrives' in her, when the final clicks in her brain allows the perception of the language, its structure, & the perception of time that accompanies it.
No doubt one of the best Sci Fi movies of all time!
Like "A Quiet Place" (2018), "Arrival" (2016) couldn't be found on ANY of the "Premium" cable TV channels. I found these very interesting tales on the FX Network! Oh well, both are "better than the average Hollyweird movie" by a long shot. As the tale unfolded, I got "Slaughterhouse-Five" (1972) and "Quantum Leap" (1989-1993) vibes when the "Time is a circle" concept grew out of the Alien's pictorial language. 5:45 "The Canary in a coal mine," used to detect noxious/harmful/poisonous gases.
What is the name of the outro song? It's a really good thick beat I'm trying to find it for the longest time.
Some of Maple’s comments, like that about a lab log, were very incisive and made me understand Villeneuve’s storytelling technique better.
Also: Interested to see how Arianna’s take might differ.
Nominated for 8 Oscars including Best Picture but won for
Best Sound Editing
Best Sound Mixing.
Weak. Look back at which films and actors won and marvel at how ridiculous the Oscars are.
Everytime I watch this I sob
You will LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the movie HIDALGO !! (the horse)
ok girl i see you 👀👀🥵🥵
Yeah i see her too 😮💨
absolutely brilliant movie! ♥
Maple got me enjoying this upload, gyaaat!
I wonder how we'll help them in 3000 years?
Jeremy Renner is so good in this!
Can you please react to
The Ninth gate Starring Johnny Depp
Please
This film is amazing! Seen it multiple times!
Maple be looking foine as fuck
Imagine how high your love expectations would become when you can learn a new language and see the future and the past non-linearly lol.
A good film is The Guest. My personal favourites are Runaway Train and Carlito's Way.
"It hangs in the air like a brick doesn't" Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. . What makes the humans think that any weapon they have would have an effect on a shi able to travel the stars?
Love your reactions. Subscribed. My only wish is that you had a recap at the end. The end of the reaction feels abrupt and unfinished. Still love your content.
Heck the end for the link to the discussion video. We do them separately
Came here to watch you cry and wasn’t disappointed. ❤️
Maple and the girls review.
