- ARRIVAL Breakdown | Ending Explained, Easter Eggs, Hidden Details & Things You Missed. After picking up the 4k blu ray and revisiting Arrival for this breakdown, I found a lot of incredible details and hidden things in it that seeped into my subconscious on a first watch, and this really elevated the movie far beyond the appreciation that I had for it originally. In this video, we dive into how Scorsese has crafted a masterpiece here, and we're going to be breaking down why the film is so haunting. We'll of course also be talking about the ending and all of the clues that build towards it, so if you still haven't seen it where have you been, lets get into it!

Alright so Arrival is one those movies that I think will stick with people long after they watch it. Dealing in hard science concepts this altered the landscape of alien movies much in the same way that Close Encounters of the Third Kind did. Whereas in the past we'd had films about Aliens attacking Earth and blowing up the White House, here Arrival does things differently to tell a human story about life, love and loss.
Throughout this video we're gonna be breaking the entire movie, it's ending and also talking about the hidden details and things you missed in it.Before touching on the movie though I feel we have to talk about the short story that it's based on.
Titled Story Of Your Life this work by Ted Chiang deals with inevitability set to the backdrop of theoretical physics. Ted went to see the play Time Flies When You're Alive and this centers around a man having to deal with the notion that his wife is dying of breast cancer. At this point Ted came up with the idea to tell a story about a mother who had a daughter well aware that that daughter was going to die.
Now the short story is roughly 50 pages long and its packed with diagrams of sun beams and how light travels. It's very complicated and indepth discussing how predestination works within ideas of free will.
In the story theres a line that discusses how a ray of light has to know where it will end up at so that it can choose the point in which it fires off from. There's very much this idea in space travel that you choose the destination and then travel towards it and thus all that's in between is already pre-determined and unchangeable. This is something that the film deals with too and in it we follow Linguist Dr. Louise Banks as she put in charge of attempting to communicate with aliens known as hetapods.

Check out our full breakdown of *Shutter Island* here - ruclips.net/video/1SiNL_02StY/видео.html
Communism doesn't take away peoples individuality, that's hilarious pro capitalist propaganda that has been normalized, its understandable why the commenter would say that lol
You should check out Second Thought if you want to understand real communism or socialism
Idk if you take requests but please do the Truman show
Have you seen Nowhere from the mid 80s. Cause it seems to be something you would breakdown. Or at least find interesting
The best on this I've seen. Clear,cut, and dry.
All through the movie She was remembering her future ....try it sometime and watch the argument within arise
The movie makes it very clear that we couldn't figure out why the aliens chose those locations to land, pointing out that the best correlation we found was that they were where a song was a hit in the 80s. I argue that's because we were looking for correlations in the past. For all we know, those locations are important in the future.
Excellent point (!) in the spirit of the movie.
They'll be important in the future, because they'll be looked back on as the 12 Sites that the Heptapods made their first appearances
They choose those locations primarily bec their goal is to unite us humans more than anything else. And of course to understand about time and language. I bet we are not the only planet they visited in. Knowing that their arrival would probably mean their dimish, their primarily goal is to seek a united force to help them about a threat in the future. Bec prob the only way we can all defeat those forces is to be one inspite of our differences.
Two Words: HANNAH MONTANA. XD XD XD
@@Flip4Cryptwell the question is why did they choose those locations in the first place
“Abbot is death process” made me cry.
Abbot's dumbass should've just left if he knew he was going to be blown up.
Arrival is one of those movies I wish I could erase from my memory so that I could experience watching it for the first time again. That bittersweetness when you get to the end of the film and all the pieces suddenly fit together was indescribable.
Unbelievable! These are exactly my thoughts throughout the years every time I encounter a masterpiece of intellectual genius in arts
YES!
Have you tried Donnie Darko? Similar feeling first time. The film finished and I just sat there stunned, credits paused.... trying to put things together. Never had a moving ending quite like it.
It was really slow and mediocre at best
@@dracul3691 yes, thank you! I mean... It's not "bad", but the ending being good doesn't pay off for the almost 2 hours before with pretty much NOTHING happening. Watched yesterday with my wife and I was asleep for 3 different times and she couldn't keep her hands off her phone since so much of the movie was nothing different happening lol
This is one of the films that I wish I had seen in theaters when it first came out. I was so surprised how good it was. Arrival was not what I thought it was going to be. Now is one of my favorite film.
Same here! It's become a favorite of mine!
I’m 26 now and saw the movie in theaters and it’s been one of my favorites since yet I never hear people talking about it.
It was astounding
i didnt know Denis work or anything about the movie and it was a truly unique experience watching it on the big screen, now Denis is one of my favorite directors
It
I always thought that Louise looked sad in the beginning because she's already mourning her daughter, she just doesn't know it yet. If time really is circular then she always could see backwards and forwards, she just wasn't consciously aware of it yet.
Almost like you wake up crying from a dream
I think it's not as concrete as that, instead of saying that time works linearly or non-linearly and that's just the way it is across the whole universe, its more about how the individual perceives it to work. A big part of the movie is how language influences the way we think, so once louise learnt a language of the 4-dimensional beings she began to view her life as though she was 4- dimensional, but for everyone else on earth time is still linear, louise just doesn't think of things happening sequentially, she experiences excerpts of time randomly and that's how she lives her life.
the best part of the film as a piece of art, and possibly its best easter egg, is that the film becomes an example of its own message allowing the viewer to experience the story point from Dr Bank's perspective twice. First watch through you are the version of her prior to understanding, watching through the film linearly putting everything together slowly from a point of ignorance. When you rewatch it knowing the outcome, you recognize the flashbacks as non-linear and view the story from the perspective of an understanding Banks thus allowing you to reflect and appreciate the story as a whole while reliving the scenes chronologically. Amazing piece of art.
How did you not notice that it was non linear storytelling the first time lmao
I’ll never forget seeing this movie in theaters. I was visiting a lifelong friend, and we randomly decided we could go see a movie. We checked what was on and realized Arrival had its final show that night, 11pm. We ran so we could make it. There was nobody else in this theater. Needless to say this was quite the experience. We both stayed in our for like an hour discussing the plot, the message, and how we felt about it all
Wish i could watch it in cinema
You said you didn’t feel like Louise had so much choice in the movie, I think that “yes” scene at the end is her choosing it all. Great breakdown, subbed :)
yeah, i've always thought that time was deterministic, but we have free will between point a & b
Another reason the number 12 is a nice choice is because in music an octave is made of 12 semitones, after which the pitches repeat cyclically.
For western music, sure, but this isn't like an universal truth
What I love about this movie is how it forces the viewer to really think about what we just saw. I still remember wondering for weeks after I first saw it, because I didnt yet fully grasp the concept of non-linear time. Now, its so fascinating to me that something like time, that many people see as something that unites us and doesnt differentiate, can be viewed so drastically different. This is the entire purpose of science-fiction media, and I love it!
We knew we wouldn’t have our daughter forever,not at first but as time went by,she actually came to that realization first because she felt her body wearing out from all her medical woes. So we made sure to say what we wanted to say, do what she wanted to accomplish, not worry about stupid stuff, always said I love you, valued people, not things, etc. Laura also made sure we all knew what she wanted done after death, that is donate organs and then send her body to be studied by a research lab. Even knowing my continuing gut-wrenching pain I wouldn’t have traded a single day with her. 💕🐝💕
I'm so sorry, that's so sad. It kills me just trying to imagine what that is like- having a daughter of my own. It is truly amazing how children can change your entire perspective on life and real value. Thank you for sharing your story.
@@afuroSAMURAI Enjoy every day with your sweet one, even the hard ones. Reinforce that you always love her, even when you sometimes don’t like her. Because there will be those days. Remember, people matter not things, so really don’t sweat accidents, like broken things. I have a whole lot more to say, but I’ll stop here. 💕🐝💕
I can relate. I lost my daughter at 2 1/2 months old, and then my husband died in a car accident 9 months later. Although it was 40 years ago, I still think of them every day. It is painful at times, but I wouldn’t trade my time with them for anything. It may have been shorter than I wanted it to be, but I feel so lucky that I had them in my life. That was, and always will be, my favorite part of my life.
Thank you, you are incredible people, your family.
@@lisaspikes4291 I agree … although I cry every day, I am starting to have some smiles at the amazing memories. All I ever want to mark my death is “She was a good mom”. 💕🐝💕
I remember watching this with my sister at AMC. I spent most of the movie crying. Both because of the beauty of the story in the movie; but also I was in a very bad place mentally and I was thinking that this was the last time I would be watching a movie with her.
I'm glad you're still with us. God bless
Very glad you are still here. ❤
I'm also glad you made it through and are still here with us 🤗
Did you kill self?
When I lost my dog after 14 years I was so depressed and upset and broken hearted over the loss until I began focussing on all the love that she had given me over the years and all the fun we had then it got better.
I didn't realize just how much this movie affected me until now. Just hearing you mention plot points caused me to tear up. Such a wonderful film.
I love this films approach to friendly aliens. While our first encounter with aliens (if there ever is one) could result in destruction, I don't think that's the only alien story to tell. Aliens could not only be friendly, they could provide science and technology we don't have. If I traveled to an alien planet, that is the kind of thing I'd want to provide for them so it's interesting to see a movie where they kind of behave that way
Oh, as some may have already done in the remote past?
Plenty of ancient folklore about that around the world.
@juliobro1 ?? Okay? i never said there wasn't I just said I like how this movie did it lol but go off I guess if you feel the need to be the smartest in the room
@bryceh555 no, I'm sorry, it's not like that.
I hoped to spark some curiosity in the ancient legends of world cultures.
I can see stuff in some of these movies that resonate or take ideas from them, or is it that you already know...? 😉
Yeah it’s kinda like Hollywood doesn’t know how to present a foreigner/alien unless they’re a threat to us and the main source of conflict. I liked that this movie showed the more likely scenario, that aliens would protect us from ourselves. A lot of real life UFO stories are about strange occurrences around nuclear sites, like aliens are trying to prevent us from taking ourselves out.
@@bryh555 - "I guess if you feel the need to be the smartest in the room' Hmmm.... your response is more an indication that YOU feel as though you're the dumbest person in the room and therefore automatically take a defensive poster when there's no need for it. You're placing the responsibility for your fear of ridicule on someone else.
I saw it in the theaters without knowing anything about it and was so glad for it. Its one of my favorite films, and Amy gives an incredible performance. I also read the short story and I do like the majority of the changes they made in the adaption. The one thing I think is handled better in the story (forgive me if I'm remembering it incorrectly) was the development of Hannah's character and the impact that she had on the people around her, which factored into why Louise had her even though she knew she'd die young. The idea that someone can impact so many lives in small ways in a short life is really interesting. Anyway - I really didn't see the time twist coming and it was a gut punch watching it the first time.
I had a similar experience. I’m also seeing a lot people having a similar experience. I wonder if it was marketed like this on purpose so people didn’t know what to expect going in. The shock of the twist ending is something I’ve never experienced in my life at 21 years old now and was 14 when it came out. Sticks with me today
@@Jensen-C read the short story well before the movie was even a glimmer, i think the story has a better message and handled it better. the acceptance of the totality of life, that the choice is available, and there will be heartache, but to choose to take the bad with the good and that everything has its place.
Arrival is an underrated masterpiece. Thanks for the video!!
@♜𝐏𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 Heavy Spoilers No, you're not. It's just a scam... 😂😂😂
loving these older movie breakdowns hope to see more throughout the year :)
Yeah gonna try make time for one a week if I can
I'm enjoying these too. Have you considered doing Angel Heart with Mickey Rourke?
"Older" .. as in just barely 6 years ago?? Okie dokie.
@@DJaquithFL 6 years ago is in fact in the past therefore older 😊 hope that helps lol
@@DJaquithFLit’s a hard pass for me bro. I just saw FAST X and it was waaaay better! So much AMAZING ACTION! And amazing acting!
Not sure if you mentioned this but in the helicopter when Ian reads the forward from her book it says something like ‘language is the first weapon used in conflict’ then obviously later in the movie they say ‘use weapon’
This movie, Tenet, and Interstellar gave me a lot to think about as far as predeterminism. Very similar things to think through.
This is the EXACT comment I was looking for! Movie for Movie 🙏🏾
28:00 More profoundly, this glass separation captures the struggle between Louise and Ian to understand each other much like the humans struggle to communicate with the aliens.
@heavyspoilers Thank you for this amazing review!
Ey thank you
I remember seeing this with my partner and we had just become parents, literally cried like a baby at the end. The message I took from the movie was that everyone you love will eventually pass on and we must live for the special moments. We all know that everything will come to an end and if you had the choice you would always choose to do it again, no matter what pain it brings.
Same! I sobbed for like ten solid minutes from the moment the plot twist became apparent at the very end. Getting emotional thinking about it now. Sheeesshh this was seven years ago...
I was 8 months pregnant with my first when I saw it. It was the last film my husband and I saw before we became parents and wow, was it a beautiful film to end that chapter of our life on 🤍and look forward to starting our new chapter, however it would end
It's 1.46 am here and I just had a cold shower and come back and got this crisp ass breakdown ready for me (arrival is one of my favourite movies of all time) by Paul. Thankyou Paul for doing these great breakdowns on new and older movies as well 🥂
Ey thank you for staying up, hope you enjoy the video
@@heavyspoilers can we get willow breakdowns if its possible ?
Go to bed!
@@piggypooo I did not go to sleep that day
@@angelo4726 it's important! For the health of your brain! And please don't notice my prior comment was sent to you at 3am🤣
I don’t usually rewatch movies in the theaters. But I saw this film 3 times in the theater, dragging friends with me, and buying the DVD a few years later for a low-tech friend. Not to mention reading this and other works by Chiang.
Both the story and film explores themes of life, loss, and joy so originally and profoundly it’s kinda a spiritual experience.
I’m so glad you did a breakdown for this film. I absolutely love this film Denis made a great concept with time, extra terrestrials and the it is shot so beautifully.
credit to Ted Chiang for the concept....
Prayers Up For Jeremey Renner 🤝💯
We lost Ken block about the same day that this guy got hurt.
This movie touched and affected me deeply.... As a person that has experienced loneliness, as a mother and as a person that would choose love always, even if it is for a short time. This movie is also one of the last movies Jóhann Jóhannsson composed the music for. I listen to the soundtrack frequently.
I loved that I saw this in the theater when it came out but honestly what elevated the experience even more was that I didn’t see a single trailer. A few friends suggested this and I knew nothing about it going in. Needless to say it was a truly incredible experience that I wish I could experience for the first time again
Another Excellent Breakdown! I really never realized how masterfully crafted this film was. I definitely enjoyed it and thought it was beautiful in its messaging and complexity but I didn’t catch many of these finer details you’ve pointed out and how they apply to the bigger picture. I’ve enjoyed that in general about your recent older film breakdowns. You have shined a light on some of my favorite films and given me an even grander appreciation of them. Thank you Paul!🙏
I was always under the impression it was Hannah's suffering Ian would've avoided. It's not about him not wanting to be sad it's about him not believing his daughter should be born into a life of such suffering for such a short time but Louise focuses on all the joy and happiness her daughter is able to enjoy and how much her living gives to the world.
100%. It's selfish of her to make the choice for him and for her daughter knowing how much pain it would cause to so many lives. All because she wanted a few moments of joy from another person.
That was an outstanding review Paul thank you very much. I’ve always loved this movie, love Denis’s work and will now have to take some time to watch this one again. after gaining some better perspective after a review like this makes watching the movie even that much more enjoyable!!
Thank you man, glad you enjoyed the video and hope you’re having a good 2023 mate, thanks for all the support
So glad to see this movie getting some love. It’s incredible. Great breakdown per usual.
Thank you for covering this - without doubt one of the greatest sci fi movies ever made.
This was a great overview of a great movie, you mentioned so many things I didn’t catch. Well done. Like the first and last words to her daughter 🤯
Cheers Paul. Terrific breakdown. This movie is a masterpiece. Not only did this movie give me a new favourite director but it also got me reading tons of science fiction again too. Chiang is an amazing storyteller.
You reminded me about this movie and for that I thank you Paul. Genuinely a beautiful story.
Saw it at the Cinema going through mental health issues and it was a Godsend. Years later this was the first film my teenage daughter saw without looking at her phone. Spellbound.
Wonderful breakdown - Cheers!
This film broke me. One of the best. Even Kubrick would be proud of this one. It’s incredibly relevant to the state of humanity.
Thank you for going through this breakdown. This movie is so good that you cannot find it online for free anywhere and this was a great reminder of what I have been missing
I love your picks for movies
Keep making breakdowns of old movies. They are good man I been loving it. The Interstellar was so good.
I love this film. Denis Villeneuve is one of my favorite directors. I think it’s themes of language and that the journey is worth it even if the end is sad. Excellent breakdown, keep up the great work!
I was fortunate to watch this movie 5 times in theaters. It got better every time
Loving the throwbacks.
Obliged.
This is such a moving and intelligent movie in so many levels. It reflects our humanity and our fragility so well. Not sure if anyone has mentioned this already in the comments but there are also similarities with the Virgin Mary story here. The character in the movie is given a premonition about her child and her end, the same as Mary who knows her child must die to “save humanity”. Although, it’s not known if Mary had a choice. I could watch this movie over and over again. Thank you for the analysis, I missed a few things along the way.
That was amazing Paul, thank you so freaking much, can't wait to rewatch it with a fresh perspective!
Thank you
All-time favorite movie💛 Excellent breakdown.
Very well done! Thank you.
One of the movies that improves the book and I can watch again and again. A perfect movie
as a new dad myself, Arrival and About Time are the 2 awesome movies that i dont think i will be able to get through again 😭 the parent-child interactions just before death is just so heartbreaking for me, but thats one of the things that makes these films sooooo amazing!
About Time is such a great movie. We lost our four year old son in 2010 due to a drunk driver. That movie was so spot on with ALL the emotions.
Add Interstellar and this would be my list as well. I literally have annual viewings of all three movies every year.
Try Collateral Beauty. Amazing cast.
The classic movie breakdowns are my favorite thing on the channel, and you are on an amazing roll! The PRESTIGE and THING videos were fantastic, and this one just knocked my socks off. ARRIVAL is one of my favorite films of the century so far, and it's delightful to see one of my favorite channels give it such detailed love! I'm sure your list for these is endless, but man... I'd love to get your take on CHILDREN OF MEN.
Oh good choice! Children of Men is rad.
Thank you. One of my favorite movies that I love to watch late at night. A great breakdown.
I can say that I have a good eye for movies, when I saw this I knew that it would be remembered by many, I loved Memento and that non-linear way of telling a story, I find that doing it with the necessary quality to stand out is one of the most difficult for any creative team, and just this movie, the story, the cast, they make it as close to perfect as possible.
Loved this, please keep up the good work! 🙂
Great breakdown Paul. I didn't have any plans to see this but now I'm going to watch it right now. Shabang!
Louise’s contact with the alien atmosphere is eventually passed on through her pregnancy, and their daughter was doomed from the start. Like radiation poisoning.
Now that's a proper introduction!❤️
Paul!! Another favourite of all time for me😍
Thanks for the info
Loved the film. Appreciate the breakdown
Paul, this was an excellent break down.
Thank you
This in an absolutely outstanding breakdown.
Top work guys
Brilliant breakdown, in perpetuity 👍🏼 Great movie
This movie made me feel extra grateful to be bilingual. It truly took the movie to another level of understanding.
Each time I watch this film, I pick up on some new detail. It's very interesting. The soundtrack alone can bring me to tears.
Great video as usual Paul
Really loving your channel! I’m a huge sci-fi, alien, time travel and language nerd, so as you can imagine this is one of my favorite movies.
One of my faves. Nice one Paul. ^^
Yay!!! You are back!!!
I just rewatched this for whats probably the 81st time and noticed something in the very beginning, when Louise wakes up and looks out of the window, the tree outside is very much resembling a heptapod.
Arrival is an example of how the best science fiction (speculative fiction) is an allegorical form of story telling, which is perhaps the oldest method of story telling. Funny how this feels like an attempt at examining the human condition in a novel way - what's old is new again.
So good! Cheers
I love these breakdowns…
I’m really enjoying these analyses of older movies instead of just covering leaks, etc, for upcoming ones.
Great breakdown!!
I have to watch Arrival again.
Thanks for the breakdown
I really enjoyed Arrival when I first watched it. But after watching your breakdown, I went and watched it again. WOW! The second viewing was like watching a better version of the movie! It makes me miss college where they have a course or class with a collective viewing a film or reading literature, then discussing & processing it afterwards. I found those courses enhanced my appreciation & enjoyment of their subject matter, just as your Arrival breakdown made the film more enjoyable an experience. THANKS!
awesome breakdown! makes me love the movie even more!! thank you!!!
Theory time theme is now my Ring tone. Thanks for that funny sample.
Loooooool that’s made my day haha
Loved this.
"The Nature of Daylight"...oh that song...still hits me in the feels every time. Then listening to it backwards just hammers home how brilliant a piece of art this really is.
Excellent breakdown of an excellent movie!
Really great movie and really great breakdown, thank you.
One of the best movies ever made. Thank you for your video here - awesome.
Apparently the canaries usually survived working in the coal Mines. They would just pass out from the gasses, and wake back up when they were brought back to the surface with the miners
It's wonderful that you started breaking down older movies too!
just watched this a couple days ago and I loved it.
Love this film. Was so refreshing at the time to see a first contact scenario that wasn’t a war! Wonderful stuff
great job
This movie is a masterpiece. Thanks a lot for that great breakdown
Superb breakdown
what good timing... i finally got around to watching this movie last week
I’m discovering these breakdown videos for the first time and they are giving me life
Excellent breakdown of an amazing movie.
After watching this breakdown, I watched the movie again. Every time I watch it, I notice more little details. Villeneuve is an excellent director and the acting is also excellent.
I love this movie! it is one of my all time favorites!
Bro! How do you go into these crazy deep dives like this? Insane lol. How many times did you watch this? 😆 Good stuff.
I remember this film quite vividly. After my GF and I walked out of the theater, I realized I no longer wanted to be with her. Broke up with her right then and there. Glad I watched this film.
Wildest comment I’ve ever read
Love this movie.
Appreciate the breakdown ☺️
Just a clarification heptapod means 7 limbs not 8.
Saw this at the cinema been in love with it ever since 👍
OMG! Love this movie... the idea of language and time being cyclical. One of my favorite of all time. It's very underrated
