    At the beginning, when the recording is first played for her, it's absolutely stunning to me that Whittaker's character doesn't see how ridiculous it is. Lol
    Like playing a herd of elephants trumpeting and then asking if someone can translate, "Do you hear any words?"
    No sir, I cannot translate a lion's roar into English. Lol

    She's not solving it by seeing the book she wrote in the future, she's solving it by understanding their language. A language with no beginning or end, a constant loop. Their language embodies how they think, outside of linear time. Understanding their language, unlocks the ability to see time non-linearly. Their language is the "weapon".

    I truly ADORE this film. It resonates on SO many levels. The opening always gives me flashbacks to 9/11... the general.... surreality of existence in what feels like a living nightmare. And of continuing "normal" behavior (going to work etc) out of blind habit and no better options when it seems "normal" doesn't apply anymore.
    They truly nailed the "alien-ness" of the aliens in this movie. Yet in the end, it is a very human story. This film hits the bullseye on every level. It holds up intellectually AMD emotionally. One of my all time favorites.

    Learning the alien language, which has no past, present or future, changes her so that she can see future events. She uses that to convince the Chinese but it also allows her to see her future with him & her daughter but goes on with her life even though she knows the heartache to come. Brilliant movie!

    • @jasontodd6779
      @jasontodd6779 7 месяцев назад +2

      She actually not just see the future, she experience it, she lives in the future.
      The alien language don't have Past, present and future because they live and experience both past, present and future.
      Because of this, to them the concept of Past, present and future doesn't exist.
      Time isn't a straight line but a loop.
      Beginning is the end.
      And the end is the beginning.
      She learn the language so she experience time the same way as the alien.
      She chose to have kid even though knowing she will lost her kid because to her it already happened.
      And since she experience Both past, present and future she never truly lost her kid.

    The Question Louise has to contemplate is not: "Should I have a Kid if I know it is going to die anyway?"

      Also, it's not the same question we would face with, say, a DNA test prior to birth. Louise KNOWS Hannah already. She has all the memories of their time together, so she already loves her. I don't see how she could possibly have made any other decision.

The sign that the event, having happened; is echoing backward … Telling us to move forward- in that direction- toward that future you feel in your gut; in your bones.
    The Fact of inspiration, it’s temporal. It’s Psychic.

    So, if the aliens don’t understand linear time and effectively don’t live within linear time then where in the hell are they from? This universe as far as we know works on linear time. Cause and effect have no meaning without time as we understand it. Even living very close to a huge mass or a black hole would only serve to slow time near the object but not make everything happen all at once in as would happen with non-linear time. If I’m barking up the wrong tree, someone set me straight please. 😊

      Good questions, and like all similar plots it has to break down at some point in relation to the real world. But stepping away from the particular details of the movie, it's interesting to consider that the concept of a being transcendent over time--making time to that being "non-linear", though not to the rest of creation--has been an integral element of primary worldviews since way before sci-fi. As far as causality, we can run into similar questions in everyday life: Did Ophelia die of her own will--or Shakespeare's? When did she die--during the 1st performance, or has it not yet happened, or was it when the ink left the quill pen? Of course the example is not "real", but I bring it up to show that our minds being able to bend at least a little ways around such issues may be an indicator that there is One who stands outside of time in a way that we cannot.

    • @lordflashheart3680
      @lordflashheart3680 7 месяцев назад

      @@agedp8386 The other issue with this is that it would also mean that depending on how you view time you can see things that haven't happened in someone elses liner timeline. If that's true then you can forget free will, anything you will do has already been "written" or at the very least has happened already, so back to cause and effect. 🙂

      Thanks for responding. Oh yes, the free will questions inevitably come up--but I'm not going there in response to this film; I was only saying that plot element gives an imperfect reminder of what many of us hold to be a core truth proposition about reality. But if such propositions include divine sovereignty over space and time, they also preclude that being true of created beings, even tender-hearted heptapods! 🙂
