First time watching Arrival and it was out of this world. Just like my Good Will Hunting reaction - I had a grand time editing the Arrival video! This movie is amazing in so many ways that I find it hard to cut some scenes out! Every scene is shot so beautifully and has so many nonverbal emotional scenes.. and the music???? Perfection! This is going to be another long video and I absolutely love it. Thanks for watching. Cheers!

Y’ALL DIDN’T TELL ME THIS MOVIE WAS A MASTERPIECE!! 🥲🧡 yoo What an amazing film. And yes it did live up to the hype. Thank you so much for watching🙌🏾❤
This is one of my top movies of all time. Amy was robbed. Her acting with the aliens…so good. The soundtrack and cinematography are BEYOND.
I THOUGHT I did! ha ha... Some more masterpieces (in their own way): "CHILDREN OF MEN," "PLEASANTVILLE," "STRANGER THAN FICTION," "AMELIE," & "GRAVITY" Cheers!
This movie is on my very very short list of favorites
Birds were used in coal mines to alert workers in the event that the air was becoming toxic. If the bird sickened, time to run for it.
If you haven't seen District 9, watch that next.
The dying words of Gen Shang's wife, "In War, there are no winners, only widows", is such a powerful statement.
I watched the video about the movie and heard the line. Powerful statement indeed. I wish it was put in the movie with subtitles.
@@FrankFreezy_ Yeah it was a curious choice to omit it from the movie
Hunt for Red October, had a similar line, from Captain Rameus. It had a “fishing” context.
@@FrankFreezy_ but thats the point. They dont put this in the subtitles cause thats the message of the movie. Without comunication, undestanding what the other is saying to you... u dont share, u cant receive... and u cant evolve.
@@sense_now ah i see what you're saying
Canaries were used by Coal Miners to detect any gases or dangers, hence the term ‘canary in a coal mine’
That is so amazing. You learn everyday
Canaries' metabolism and processing of oxygen (they're so small, so they run through any inputs way faster) in comparison to larger mammals like humans means that a bird will experience distress and die to air-bourne poisons faster than a human would. So, they acted as a measurement for miners when they would go down into tunnels where there might be balloons of carbon monixide or other toxic gasses, and their distress would signal to get out of there. Pretty cold-blooded, but a genius way to work around the problem before we had things like gages and geiger counters and computational measurements to signal danger.
@@emmaatkinson7379 thank you so much for explaining this further
@@emmaatkinson7379
Plus, we have detectors for the toxins that we know, but they were going into a complete unknown. So going back to using canaries was smart. We have machines to check carbon monoxide levels, but we don't know what else to detect. But if a canary can breathe, then a human can breathe.
@@emmaatkinson7379The miners also thought it was coldblooded, which is why they had revival chambers for the canaries they carried around. You can find pictures and instructions for how it was used by googling "the canary resuscitator"
"I forgot how good it felt to be hugged by you"
😭😭
Heavy😭😭🧡🧡
When he asked her “do you wanna make a baby.“ And she hugged him. You’ll notice the longing and aching on her face because she already knew that the moment they make the baby she would die she knew the future from the moment they were hugging in real time. That’s why she asked him the question “if you had to live your life over again, would you do it?” She chose to have a baby knowing the baby would die. She would lose her husband, but in 3000 years she would be saving the alien species life.
Yes. That is why it is such the heartbreaking but beautiful decision. She could have totally avoided the Heartbreak, but she chose to love. Now that you mentioned it I'm very curious about what kind of help the aliens would need from us and how the humans could help them in 3000 years?? I would love to see a part 2 haha
That is something that every parent has to deal with. There is 100% chance that the child you bring into the world will die. Your only hope is that they have a full life and the selfish part being that you hope you will go before them so you don't have to bear that loss. What she did becomes insanely noble because she knows with her foreknowledge that not only will she lose her baby girl, but that she can't change the outcome and it will also destroy her marriage. Denis Villeneuve don't miss, at least not so far.
@@nullunit Selfish is not the right word to describe the hope that you go first, because alternatively hoping that your child went first would be not only ridiculous but certainly far from unselfish. Well I guess if you hope that you go first ONLY so you don’t have to bear the loss, that’s selfish but also very weird to say the least.
@@nullunitwell said 💖
plus him asking that was also sometime in the future
I will never forget when I first saw this movie. It was a bad day for me, it was the anniversary of my daughter dying. I had been feeling like shit all day and at the time, I was a server at a dine in movie theater. It was late at night and I saw that this movie was premiering and I was like ok I’ll go see it, just to distract myself. When i looked at online ticket sales- almost empty. By the time I sat in my spot, the theater had sold out out of no where. Then I’m watching this masterpiece and the ENTIRE storyline surrounds her daughter dying and her choice to go through with having her anyways because however few their moments together- it was worth it. And at the end I was like 🥲😭🥲😭🥲😭🥲😭😭😭😭 and other people in the theater were like 👀💀😬😐 when passing me. The ODDS of my going to see THIS MOVIE on THAT day. Wild. Still one of my favourite movies tho
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss. I love this movie and I cry buckets at the beginning every time.
@@AzaleaLuna yea, it’s bittersweet for me depending on when I’m watching it but I must’ve seen it 10x by now. One of my favourites of all time. Everything about it was beautifully done. Also thank you 💜
I'm so so sorry for your loss. May peace be with you.
@@user-nt8lq4rp3z it is now. The grieving will always circle back around but I am at peace with what happened. Her suffering ended and isn't that all that really matters?
Notice that the idea of language being a weapon is planted VERY early in the story.
Absolutely, and it has such a great payoff too
One of my favorite thing about this movie is how "alien" the aliens look. Most movies that have aliens depict them with very human features, like a head with a mouth, eyes, and teeth. In reality an alien would probably look nothing like any life on Earth since its biology would be completely different. While most life on Earth has a basic head, body, and limb body plan, an alien life form would probably have something completely different. Throughout the movie you look at these creatures trying to figure out where their face is, where their eyes are, and that's the brilliant thing. They don't necessarily have one like we do.
You're fast becoming my favorite reactor. I love how you pause, and think. Don't let anyone tell you not to. You're such a considerate viewer, and such a beautiful soul. Keep going. Really enjoying re-living these movies through you.
That’s some high praise, and I don’t take it for granted. I appreciate you saying that, and I always will. I’m glad you like my format. So many more to come my friend. Thank you.
This is one of my favourite movies. Side story… I live in Australia, and there’s a lake called Wendouree. Settlers asked the name of the lake and that was what the locals replied. It means ‘go away.’ The Kangaroo story might just prove a point… but it’s a definitely a real one.
haha I love that. Thanks for sharing that story
The reason why Louis had to take off the hazmat suit is not to confuse the heptapods with the initial word to describe them; "Human". They all look the same in Hazmat suits. So when Louis introduced a new word, which is her name, she needs to let the heptapods understand that it's a specific word for a specific person, and the heptapods can only tell the difference if they're out of their suit instead of looking the same and confuse them with the previous word. Language is amazing.
It truly is. The linguistic nerd in me adores this movie.
Jóhann Jóhannsson did the music for this one and for Sicario (among many others) but these two really stand out because the music plays such a big part of the films. It’s like a character in itself. He was amazing. RIP Jóhann. ❤
I love that you mentioned that. The music feels like a character as well. I had to download some of the songs and listen to them on repeat.
The piece at the end with the violins/cellos is called ‘On the Nature of Daylight’ by Max Richter. It is absolutely heart-wrenching. I love this movie so much. ❤
@@Kim-hc5si yep. That's a song I've had on repeat for the last 3 days. It just transport you to somewhere else. Perfect choice for this amazing film
@@FrankFreezy_ Richter's other work is worth exploring, a lot of it is just as transporting. He also scored the sci-fi films Ad Astra and Perfect Sense (both imperfect films, but with plenty to make them interesting too).
I found Max Richter and Johan's work through this film. Mercy by Max Richter, makes me weep. And Flight From the City is my favourite from Johan. Both pieces have very moving accompanying videos here on youtube.
Arrival is one of the most amazing but most difficult movies to watch. Just watching you watch the beginning with my own little girl leaning on my lap… ugh. I watched it the first time when I was struggling to have a child and it was gut wrenching. Then I watched it after having my little girl and could barely make it through the beginning. The sorrow that hangs over the film is so powerful but makes so much sense. The dilemma of wondering if we even have free will… could she have chosen to not have Hannah? What would have happened if she’d told the father in advance? So many questions… but ultimately recognizing that getting to be her mother was more valuable than avoiding pain.
Always love to hear parents input in these movies that deal with parental issues so thank you so much for sharing. I'm happy you were able to get a little angel of your own. I know there's no way for a parent that love their child to watch this film without feeling all those emotions on an extra level. The sorrow is so powerful indeed. yes so many questions, I feel he was such a sweet man that if she told him in advance and explain where her heart was, I believe he would have decided to have her still, but then again the movie shows us that their bond became stronger through his absence. So many questions indeed, so many possibilities. I'm happy she chose to love and lose rather than not love at all
I love that it seems like the movie is about aliens but the whole time it’s about family and the choices we make.
Moral of the story is that its harder to communicate with ourselves than with aliens
That is so real
But I love that and it’s such a real scenario if other beings entered our world. Brilliant!
Nah, it's not about the bird panicking. They used them in coal mines to detect deadly gasses. The bird dies first and gives them a warning, enough time to get out. She is most likely using the bird to see if it's safe to take off her suit.
Smaller lungs on them birds will have them bite the dust first, should their be an airborne threat - a clever concept for sure
Yes, that was the reason. Oddly enough, there was a Victorian thing called a Canary Resuscitator, a little glass-walled tank, attached to a small oxygen bottle, to make sure the canary didn't actually die. Google "canary resuscitator"!
"'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." when ever i watch this movie that quote goes through my head everytime i see her daughter
Absolutely. Such a remarkable quotes. She made the right decision.. its better to have loved and lost🧡🧡
Rango
This movie MUST be seen at least twice. The second viewing, you perceive things the way Louise does. This is maybe my all time favorite films. The aliens are truly alien - which really raises the stakes of the movie. I also love how the whole movie is explained in the first few minutes, during the Hannah montage when Louise says "memory doesn't work the way I thought it did" Those are the little gems you notice on the second viewing.
It is so enjoyab to watch people experience this movie for the first time and watch them piece it all together.
Thanks for watching - and sharing.
So happy to see you watch one of my favourite movies! I studied Anthropology and a bit of Linguistics in university, and it was so cool to see linguistic concepts explored in this film. Amy Adams definitely should've won her Oscar for this!
It's like with "The sixth sense" - I wish I could watch it for the first time again.
That’s so real😮💨🔥
You would enjoy the Dune movies. Same director, crazy ideas of humans in the future, and space/time travel concepts. As Forest Gump would say, that's all I'm gonna say about that.
Dune part 1 and part 2 are slowly moving up my list. Nice Forrest Gump quote😂
The thing is, because Louise understands the "universal" language so deeply, she carries all of the memories of her daughter in her mind, every single moment, and because of the palindrome/circular nature of it all, she lives those moments like the present always and forever. It's beautiful that she is willing to carry the pain of loss in order to bring her daughter's light into the world. Like you said, connection and communication because we're all part of the same ecosystem.
'Contact' is an extraordinary Sci-Fi film, starring Jodie Foster and Matthew McConaughey. The aliens are NOT adversarial. You would love that film! It's a seminal film in the Science-Fiction genre. A++
Awesome. Thanks for recommendation
Yes you would really like Contact @@FrankFreezy_
Agreed! I saw Contact with my mother the week it came out in 1997. My father had passed a few days before. Truly a kizmit experience, and a happy memory with my mother that I will never forget. We weren’t rich…so my mom barely ever went to a theater. Jodie Foster is masterful.
@@FrankFreezy_ I'm not joking! You will love that movie more than this! One of my favs
@@FrankFreezy_And the book is amazing too. I highly recommend it.
You do not need to apologize for your pauses and nerdiness. Those are a wonderful addition to the reaction.
Thanks for saying that🫡
I was so excited watching this in the theater, not because it was a sci fi story, but that I was learning something new.
I like that
This is the first time I heard the song "on the nature of daylight" and it absolutely broke me. It encapsulates the feeling of grief of losing something dear and the happiness to have loved at all so well. I played it at my dog's passing and I will have it played at my funeral. It's my favorite piece of music. I'm so glad you enjoyed this movie - it will always hold a special place in my heart.
Did you notice that in the beginning, Ian is quoting from Louis's book about language, saying language is often "the first weapon drawn in a conflict"?
Yes! Great detail. And I love how it parallels with all the countries, withdrawing communication when the conflict was reaching its climax.
The phone call incident is called a conundrum ' it wasn't possible for him to know to give her his number ' it was affect before cause ' which is supposed to be impossible ' yet still happened, its mind boggling 😂
It really was mind-boggling but somehow still made sense. It's weird😂
Louise explains it. She's not living her life linearly. There's an earlier scene where she helps her daughter with her homework - the zero sum game. She got the answer from Ian.
She doesn't really have a choice to have Hannah. She's already had her.
One of those movies that stays with You forever.
Oh yeah
This movie is incredible!! Definitely one of the more realistic first contact movies. The next movie you need to watch is Contact, it is by far the most realistic first contact with aliens movie ever. It's all based on real science and is based off the book written by the astronomer Carl Sagan. Please check out Contact, cause if you liked this movie, you'll love that one
I appreciate you bringing up contact. I will definitely watch it
This movie will live in me for eternity❤
Absolutely✨
Arrival was such a breath of fresh air. Intellectually, emotionally, politically…such a satisfying, novel, mature, thought-provoking film.
Your thoughts on not sending an intimate text are so on point. We are losing something vital as we depend more and more on texting as a means of communication.
Me & mom took a chance on this when it was in theaters. Were both in tears at the end. Both ♥ this movie!
She isn't seeing the future, she's experiencing her whole life all at once, past, present, and future
One of my favorite films for sure. A heartbreaking and heartwarming masterpiece. I love that it came out the year my daughter was born too. Awesome reaction, as always! 💖
This movie is one of my all-time favorites. Such a refreshing take on aliens, outside of the usual destructive, colonizing tropes. On the Nature of Daylight crushes me every time I hear it and Carrie’s the emotional weight of the film. And ultimately, perfectly depicts the choice between ‘is it better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all’. Great reaction!
The bird is more likely the "Canary in the Coal Mine". The bird with die sooner than them if there is something in the air. It's an old early warning system.
This movie is based on a short story by Ted Chiang, one of the best "real" sci-fi writers at the moment. I highly recommend to read it, it is called "Story of Your Life".
One of the best reactions to the film I've seen so far. Love it when people can choose not to spoil a movie for themselves. Sometimes that comes at the cost of not seeing pieces add up but it brings you there at the end anyway.
Great stuff.
Absolutely ♥ every second of this movie! Def one of the best movies of the last 20 years!
Denis Villeneuve is a genius!!
100%
This movie was a banger among the Linguistic professionals :) There were a lot of blogposts and reviews on this by the academic community, and some were consulting at and inspiring the making of the movie.
Thanks for that! It was good to see someone else reacting to this movie in exactly the same way I did. When I was growing up in the 1970s, written SF was full of ideas like this, about aliens and language and different ways of perceiving the universe. But seeing Hollywood taking on such themes was amazing. BTW, the movie was based on a novella called "The Story of Your Life" by SF writer Ted Chiang, and can be found in his collection "The Story of Your Life and Other Stories".
I'm glad we enjoyed this movie the same way. I hope more movies like this gets adapted from Beautiful Stories like the ones you read growing up. Thanks for watching
I was waiting for this reaction! Love this movie so much. Each rewatch it continues to give me chills. Like Louise, it has rewired my brain lol
So one time I had a dream about something, and in my dream I referenced my dream. In my dream I said that I knew it would happen that way because I dreamed it, talking about something that already happened in my dream, but hadn't happened yet in real life. And it did happen exactly as I dreamed it. In the dream, and in real life, I was walking with a friend having a conversation, and I'd never been there before. It kind of didn't even look like a real place. And as I was walking and I said the thing I said in my dream, I stopped dead in my tracks because I realized that this was what I dreamed, the weird path that sloped down on both sides and had trees beyond the slopes on each side. It is quite trippy to remember something that hasn't happened yet. Yeah, this movie is a masterpiece, and watching it with you is lovely, I love your commentary. Some movies give you the feels, all of them, and some movies make you think. But this movie does both.
Thanks for sharing your dream within a dream and how you felt. And also how it relates to this movie. I loved reading this comment. Tripping indeed. I'm glad you enjoyed watching. Thank you
This movie is a true sleeper. I don't know that many who've seen it -but everybody I know who've seen it loved it!
To help with the pronunciation of the directors name it's Denis( Den-ee) Villnuenve (Vil-Nuv)
that was actually very helpful
@@FrankFreezy_You were saying his last name correctly IMO, but yeah, his first name has a silent "s".
("De-NEE" is how I say it) .
This is a brilliant movie and Denis Villeneuve is one of today's best filmmakers. Like you I really appreciate that the aliens are friendly and helpful. It allows for broader possibilities in the story. I love this movie because it inspires people to think about time in new ways. Movies like this and Interstellar, Inception, Contact, Coherence, The Matrix, and many more demonstrate really well the malleability and slipperiness of time and space. What the [Bleep] Do We Know? (2004) is definitely worth watching, even if not for your channel, for some interesting perspectives on reality, which is a lot weirder than we realize.
Edit: Also, Cloud Atlas (2012), from the Wachowskis and Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run), starring everyone, is a beautiful sci-fi movie with six intertwining stories that show the effects people have on each other through time.
There's tons of great video essays on this, but one I'd also check out is Chinese with Jessie's video breaking down the Chinese at the end (should be first if you just search Arrival Chinese). Overall I think I'm glad they didn't include subtitles for that to just keep the drama focused but the translation for that bit is really cool. Love this movie so much!
Thanks for mentioning that. I will check it out
The fact they just vanish might mean they were always there but in the future. insane movie bro, enjoyed the reaction.
this is definitely an underrated masterpiece imo
I’m so glad you are who you are. I’ve searched 3 years for a reaction channel that not only understands the scenes but also is interested in language. I have hope in the education system again. Or you’re like me and self study
What you said about texting is so true.I have gotten myself in trouble because the person i was texting couldn't see that i was just kidding.
Haha yep! Every nuance of communication completely disappears through text 😭😂
Every time I watch this movie, or watch someone else react to it, I catch more and more things that make this movie one of the best in history. I can’t help but to cry every single time too, especially being a parent.
I just KNEW it would be awesome to see you experience this movie! Thank you! I enjoyed this hugely!
For the Heptapods, the past, present and future exist together. Their language allowed her this perception, which she used and which humanity will use to help themselves and the Heptapods.
I get very happy when I see you have a new video up. Thank you for making this channel.
That makes my heart happy. Thanks for being a part of my channel🙏🏾
I was so excited to see your reaction to this. I respect how genuinely fascinated by movies you can be and how intelligent and thoughtful your reactions are. 😊
I can tell you how much I enjoyed rewatching this movie with you.
This movie never fails to make me emotional. Damn you, Max Richter. Damn you, Denis Villeneuve. Damn you, Ted Chiang!
Yessss! I’ve been waiting for someone to react to this film. Soooo good 😌
i'v been so excited to see this hope you enjoyed the movie
Thanks for being here to watch it. I absolutely did
Your own heart and soul is always front and center in these reactions. Your takeaways are deep and beautiful like you. ❤
You're the best! These movies always have so much to give if we’re willing to listen. Thanks for tuning in again🧡
I love how much this movie takes itself seriously, but it’s not just dark or gritty for the sake of it.
And I really appreciate how seriously you take it, and all the ways you appreciate what it says about communication and language at that…that fundamental level of connection to another. Might just stick around for some more 😊
Love your reactions!
Thank you so much for checking them out 😁
The line "Who is this child?" is the trigger moment for most people watching this movie. There are countless of subtle hints but they are well hidden / ambiguous so it's almost impossible to "get" the timeline before that line dropped(at least if you haven't been spoiled in some way). It's one of the movies that is very different when you watch it a second time, but actually in a good way. It's like you have learned the language as well since you can see in the future :P
The movie title embraces the concept of the theme. Language applicable to present and future simultaneously. THE ARRIVAL, applies to both the aliens arriving on Earth in present and the arrival of the baby, Hannah, in the future.
I only figured this out when me in the future told me.
I interpret the film title as the 'arrival' of the Heptapod Language in Louise's consciousness.
The point where Louise enters that reverie and can 'see' the book she will write, 'experience' the classes she will teach, THAT is the moment when she understands the Language in its entirety. She even states that she can read it now.
That moment is the moment when the first human being's consciousness is changed enough to move past linear time. The world changes at that moment. War becomes impossible. "Arrival" is not about the child and it's not really about the aliens; it's the arrival of consciousness that no longer is fenced in by time. "There is no 'time'."
I am so hyped for this series with you both
The story about Kangaroo meaning "I don't understand" is actually an old myth that I was told in school in the 80s and only found out later was false.. long before I saw this movie though.
Youve quickly became my favorite reactor,now watching one of my fav movies. Nice
I’m honored. Thank you.
Saw this movie in the theater and yeah, was instantly moved into the top with my other all time greats. I like it since (as you noted) it's not the typical "alien sci-fi" movie based on combat, heroic moments, etc. The movie had a great take (imo) on what would actually happen if aliens were to visit. We wouldn't have any idea of how to communicate with each other and would have to figure that out somehow. They would not be violent toward us; if they can reach earth they'd be technologically so much more advanced than us fighting would be pointlessly one-sided. So why would they come, etc etc.
Absolutely beautiful score too. Can listen to it at any point in the future if you want to be reminded of the great film.
❤ Loved your reaction.
Thank you!! 😁🧡💜
The score is immaculate, so moving .. P.s Love all the art behind you my dude! ❤
Another thought provoking sci-fi is ANNIHILATION. A biologist and former soldier joins a mission to explore inside Area X -- a sinister and mysterious phenomenon that is expanding across the American coastline.
now that is a movie I wish I had watched for the channel. A friend told me about it and I give them permission to spoil it for me. I watched the video essay on the movie. Freaking remarkable
@@FrankFreezy_ my number 1 movie is Shawshank Redemption.
This movie was why people became confident Villeneuve would do justice to Dune
Oh I believe that. I absolutely can’t wait to watch those movies.
@@FrankFreezy_React to the first and GET YOURSELF TO IMAX for the second! The score alone is worth the experience!
One of the best Sci-Fi movies I've ever seen.Love your reaction bro.
I absolutely agree. Thanks for watching
Ok I saw this movie in the theater and I've seen it many times since. I've been doing a mini marathon of reactions to it today (this is my 4th round) and I just caught what was said just before Ians official introduction to Louise. He said 'Language is the foundation of civilization, it is the first WEAPON drawn in a conflict.' Wow that is blowing my mind right now! All that talk of Weapons at the the end of the movie that was freaking everyone out, we were told at the very beginning what the 'Weapon' actually was! Just goes to show you that no matter how many times you watch or even read a thing there is always something you missed.
Since you mentioned the tendency of sci-fi aliens to be hostile, you might enjoy hearing that early in the genre, in the 1940s C.S. Lewis (friend of J.R.R Tolkien) wrote a sci-fi trilogy to see if he could reverse the premise. As a Christian, he asked what would happen if alien races had not fallen into sin when humanity did but remained innocent--would we destroy them, or they us, or both?
I love this movie so much and I have watched it multiple times! Thank you for bringing this amazing movie to my life 🎥
There was that face again when the ominous music started up.. love it! Lol. Another great "real world" what if aliens made contact with us is District 9. It would blow your mind with the real life implications and consequences of that event. I'm getting an idea of how you process movies and am sure this is another one you'd love, it's certainly one you don't forget. 😎👍💯🔥
15:55 😂😂😂😂😂 love you bro
😂😂just spitting facts😂😂🧡🧡
I really appreciated the scientific enthusiasm you brought to your commentary...I felt the same when I first watched this amazing (& underrated!) film. The much...new subscriber from Seattle here!
Memories are traditionally a phenomenon that only access the past. Learning this language removes the arrow of time.
Yes. It's not memories or time travel. What she said about learning another language and thinking differently. When she started to understand the heptapods language she started to think the way they do. Non-linear. Everything all at once instead of a past, present and future. I suspected that is what was happening and when she asked, "Who is this child?", I knew. Just wow. This is one of my favorite movies.
I watch a lot of movie reaction videos. Yours are among the best! Thanks!
Wow, thank you!🙏🏾💜
18:01 About the bird: Ever heard the saying "Canary in a coal mine"? The saying comes from an actual practice of coal miners. They would carry a canary with them down into the mine to serve as a low-tech indicator of the air quality. If the air started becoming unsafe to breathe, it would affect the canary first and the miners would know to leave the mine. It's the same here, they bring the bird as an easy indicator of the safety of the environment.
love this movie, love you're reaction!
I once heard a quote that said time is what prevents everything from happening all at once. This language is the tool that allows time to disappear, allowing events to happen concurrently. In the case of these aliens there is no present, there is no past, there is no future there is only what is. So in a way, there is no point to the question is this her past or her future. She is not seeing her past or her future she is simply experiencing her life as it is in its totality in the moment. And she goes "forward", after learning the language, seeing her life in its totality, which is why time jumps happen continuously at the end of the movie.
Beautiful reaction - a mind melting movie that hits so hard
Woooo! I adore this film. Definitely my favorite alien / first contact depiction. Cemented Denis Villenueve as one of my favorite directors.
Couldn't agree more!
You're a great reactor and I hope that your channel will grow.
You got a new subscriber.
Wonderful reaction to this brilliant film... When she takes the Forest Whitaker to school, it's a great way to explain what she's doing to the audience. Great exposition that fits in the plot. So many great moments in this film... with one of the best reveals ever. My theory is that her child got the "rare disease" from Dr. Banks' exposure. The biggest price she paid. The film title could talk about the baby's arrival as much as the aliens. SO, SOO GOOD. ... I'd add "GRAVITY" as the third wheel of these space epics... It's AMAAAAAAAAZING and you'll love it. Cheers!
I don't know if somebody already mentioned this, but the main music song (Max Richter - On the Nature of Daylight) is palindrome as Hannah's name. If you play the song backwards it sounds the same!!! This detail is mindblowing for me (same as many other details in this movie).
Such a beautiful movie! Yet heart wrenching. ♥
very correct😭💜
Love your thoughts and reaction in general
The reason she can read the language that she hasn’t learned, and why her daughter exists in the future but in her memories in the past, it is because the aliens are trying to tell her that time is CIRCULAR, like their language. The general meets her for the first time to show her a private number that she will know in the future, and because she now understands that time is circular, she knows the phone number NOW because she will learn it in the future, and once her future shows the number, she remembers it in the past.
Understood. So amazing
It basically goes off the concept of time being a flat circle, everything that has happened will happen again and again and again. Once you learn that the past is the future and the future is the past, you can understand all things.
Nice! All of Villeneuve's films are 🔥. You'll probably get recommendations for Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind after this. The caged bird seems like a nod to that film.
Yeah I can't wait to check out all his films
The caged bird is the “canary in the coal mine” miners used to take birds into the mines to detect carbon monoxide in the air. If the birds die the miners need to get out. This crew brought the bird for the same reason, making sure the air in the ship isn’t toxic for oxygen breathing beings.
Thank you for your beautiful reaction. I love this movie, it's so deep.
Note that Louise's first words to her daughter (at her birth) are the same as her last words To her : " Come back to me".
Happy Saturday, running late today. Great film. To find out shes not having memories/flashbacks, shes seeing visions. To try to think of non-linear, unpredictable time, blows ur mind 🤯🤯. I dont understand if people believe in a supernatural and all powerful God, that they dont believe in the supernatural or aliens. The universe is so vast its kinda arrogant to think we r the only life. I believe in God and everything being possible. I dont believe aliens would come to take resources, dont feel they would need it. A bit smarter than humans, most likely. I also think if they wanted to attack they would have and wouldnt just hide. I love, respect and honor our military men and women, but also know not every person in the military has good intensions, specially in the movies. Some cant except that, but doesnt make u wrong. Another great watch🔥🔥, Thanx so much, take care, Peace
