yes...I thank god for not knowing nothing about this movie before I watched. I had it in my list for so long cause I love dennis villenueve...missed it at the movies for various reasons... Cried like a baby when I finally watched it...alone at home one night.
4 years ago I lost my daughter who was only 20. I watched this movie and it spoke of a profound truth I agreed with. When she said she would still live it all again despite knowing she was going to lose her daughter. I know what she meant. I too would live every day of my life again with my daughter knowing that I would lose her. I’d go through it all and what that told me is that the power of love is worth all the pain and that for all the darkness life brings u there’s light in there too and that it all is part of the tapestry and journey of life. She wasn’t cruel in her decision, it’s just she understood that Love was worth going through all that again, the love she shared with her daughter was so powerful it was worth even going through the pain again. Trust me she’s not selfish, I wake up every day living the pain of not having my daughter in my life but I can tell you 💯 without hesitation I would live it all again knowing the outcome to experience the love we shared.

Despite knowing the heartbreak that will come from Hannah dying and Ian divorcing her, Louise still felt that having the two of them in her life is worth all that. It's deeply emotional.

I never sobbed at a film the way I did at Arrival. Perhaps having a daughter and connecting with what it would mean to lose her - Most moving movie of all time, but maybe not if you are not a parent.

@@heidinewman9335 I was introduced to this movie by friends who are also a couple who doesn't have or want kids. They extolled the brilliance of its approach to language, which intrigued me. The emotional part of the story didn't hit them nearly as hard as it hit me. Caught me totally off guard. It's now my favorite movie. I've watched this scene maybe 20 times since then and I've ugly cried every single time.
When Louise said "I forgot how good it felt to be held by you", it was so romantic and heartbreaking. Because it was actually the first time she hugged Ian, but she could already feel how much she missed being hugged by him.
It’s like seeing things the way Louise sees. When already knew what the title of the movie was in the beginning and we are simply reminded of it at the end as if it was the first time seeing it.

That final moment when she decided to accept Ian´s love and at the same time to make a baby, she knew how everything would start and end. She embraced a start and an end at the very same time...so deep I just cannot handle it..

Beautiful movie. Most people would think the title Arrival means arrival of the aliens, but it is a reference to the arrival of her daughter. This movie is about how a mother deals with the death of a child, much like Gravity.
I think the movie has too many facets to put one label on it. In my opinion, it was alway about perspective and how we change depending on our situation. ruclips.net/video/z18LY6NME1s/видео.html Nerdwriter1 did a great vid about it.
I mean I'd say it's a little more complicated then that because of the language and time travel aspect of it. She knows exactly what is going to happen in her life and that's what it's truly about (in my opinion). She knows that she's going to wind up alone with her daughter dying prematurely and her husband leaving and it's about how she deals with all of that.
I have another version, so doctor benks wants to look forward, he wants to know when they decide to have a baby in the future where that baby is hannah. Doctor Benks finally found out when they decided they wanted to have children when she said "yes" in the future. From there the audience can make a conclusion, whether Doctor Benks still wants to give birth to Hannah even though in the end she dies or avoids the birth of Hannah and decides to have a baby at another time. Because Doctor Benks already knew the time and day they made babies (Hannah) *sorry, im use Google translate, can't speak english very well

If you want to listen to the whole song, it's called 'On the Nature of Daylight' by Max Richter. He's done some phenomenal work, but this one is outstanding even between the gems.
I lost my son to cancer when he was only six years old. This movie helped me in the most profound way. If I had to do it all over again I would. Just so I can spend the little time I had with him.
Beautiful. Bless you. So sorry for your loss, but overjoyed you got to spend time with him. For sure life is all about the earth shattering beauty of connection and love.
I believe this movie, scene and song helped tons of people all over the world. It helped me through a divorce. Losing my wife and stepdaughter were one of the hardest things I ever had to face but after seeing this movie and hearing this song I felt my life being pulled in a different direction. It Def saved me...that's for sure.
my man has cancer and he asks me the other day if I "regret meeting" him. It reminded me of this... all the good times, by far, outweigh the bad even knowing how it ends... my answer was a simple "no, because any day with you is a day better than without" this scene still tears me up because I know how it ends and i still would choose it all over again for these good moments i have left with him...
You know what I find so fascinating about this movie? Most movies involving precognition or time travel have one of two options: either you physically can't change what happens even if you try, or you can and it makes messing with time near useless due to the infinite possibilities. This is the only story I've ever seen the argument that even if you could change the future based on what you know, you /wouldn't/. Rather than having no choice or too many choices, it argues that humans would choose to keep the future as-is, pain, pleasure and all. I've never seen that argument anywhere else.
Ive gone through that sort of thought process alot for decades and the older i get the more i dwell on it. Ive had some pretty hard things happen in my life (to others they might be trivial but for me personally and emotionally they hit me hard.. real hard), these things and a strong imagination have made me wish I could go back and change them, make them better or tweak things in order to get a good out come for me at that time or make my present better... but when I think about those moments every time and how they would change everything that happened after them, and every bit of good i had from then to now would have never happened I basically go... I guess I shouldnt change them, since what I know is better than what i dont. If you know your life from start to finish both the good and bad, then the thought of giving up the good you know to avoid the bad you know and in doing so have a completely new unknown set of good and bad is to frightening. So i think if faced with the choice, most if not all people would choose to keep it unchanged... especially when you start to realise that by changing your future you also might be changing someone else's and in doing so robbing them of the good and bad they know.
I've seen this choice in two other places. No three. The first three seasons of Misfits. And in Watchmen and Predistination. Misfits is my favorite of that bunch.
@@djsosonut Haven't seen Misfits (I know, I keep meaning to) and haven't seen Watchmen in years so I can't remember it that well, but in Predestination, wasn't it not really their choice? They were controlled by the time corps or whatever, made to be a self-contained paradox. They didn't control their future, they just did what they were made to. At least, that's how I interpreted it.
@@julesfoster3289 They were controlled by themselves. Pretty much every step of the way. They grew up as an orphan. They fell in love and got left. Time made them lose their feminity, then they would guide themselves back as a male to fall in love with themselves. And take themselves back in time as a child to do the process all over again. Only thing that disrupts the movie from perfection is the extra bit it adds about them becoming a crazed killer. That's not part of the original short story: All You Zombies. The story should've ended with them excepting who they are - mother, father, daughter, the doctor that preformed the c-section to bring them into the word, guide that lead them on this journey - and how they came to be. And embracing every part of it. "I know where I came from-but where did all you zombies come from?" Watchmen was mainly Jon. Dr Manhattan. Who experiences every moment of his life simultaneously. So he can see himself telling one woman that he'll love her forever, even as his arms are around his new love, and he sees himself losing her too. "We're all puppets. I'm just one that can see the strings." Yet again the comic is better. Misfits is great. The point I'm referencing isn't perfectly executed. At least structurally there are a few hiccups. But on a character and thematic level it is beyond perfection. And it'll stick with you for years after.
If you are a parent, I can't find a more heart quenching scene than this one. My boy was a few months born when I saw it and, being an old-school grown-no-tears-hardened man I just lost it. And I was thankful...still am each time I watch it. This is my first comment ever on RUclips; I deem it worth it.
I'm a father, I feel so lucky to not knowing where my child's life lead, but I will embrace n welcome every moment of it. And I will tell my feelings more often

@J B and that’s the power of love…there isn’t a logical answer to this. It’s a motion that will never confront us but what the scene was trying to depict is that love is such a powerful force you want to experience it again and again…and that love…real love will give you the strength to accept hardship and loss too…
I just noticed that in both timelines of this scene, the color of the sky and the light makes us wonder if we're at dusk or dawn, at the beginning or the end of a day. It's a very clever way of reinforcing visually what the protagonist must feel: the choice of considering the events to come either as a fatality (she knows her daughter is condemned to die), an ending, or as a beginning, the start of a beautiful journey with her husband and daughter.
This is how I interpreted this ending: Louise mastered the aliens language which allowed her to see time the way they do, in a non-linear fashion. She can’t change her future because she has already experienced it. She always knew that Hannah would die very young, you can see she was scared when she was looking at baby Hannah. Louise knows what her future holds but she “embraces it” as the pain of losing Hannah is less painful than the idea that she never exists. She sees her future in this scene and understands she’s already made the decision to have Hannah. Hannah and Ian always “come back” because, past and future mean nothing to her anymore. It doesn’t matter what has happened or will happen, she has already experienced it. To her, Hannah’s life is a circle, she experiences the joy of having her and the pain of losing her simultaneously. It says something about life. It’s not about the outcome, it’s the journey you experience along the way.
For some reason, I've always thought Louise had dreams of Hannah even before the Visitors arrived. In some way, we are able to see the future like them, in a non-linear way, and we have a partial vision of the future until Louise masters their language.
“I forgot how good it was to be held by you” keep in mind when she said that they didn’t even start dating yet or anything. She already felt what it was to be loved n held by him bec of her gift.
Beautifully put..I would add however, that i do beleive it is possible to change the future. One of the key points is that she chose not to. The aliens did this when they landed also.
See how she knocks on the window to call for Ian.. just like the aliens knocking the window in the spaceship to call out for her. Her window and the one at the spaceship represent the same thing, a window to the future.
Lots of smart people in the comments. I’m picking up a lot of details I would have missed. This film is so rich you get something new every time you see it.
But why? Lol. If everyone dies, then nothing matters. We are just a bunch of psychos bringing dying beings into the world, giving birth to children knowing they are going to die just so WE can feel some love for awhile before we die and leave them here to grieve us...wtf. Love is a beautiful thing, but it dies with us, end of story.
@@ARock437no, I don't want to feel any pain. It sucks, there's no reason for it. I lost my dad when I was 10, my mom when I was 21 and just a year and half ago, my only sister. And I'm still grieving for my sister, grief just sucks!
He’d say what he feels more often. He values honesty and openness. Which makes perfect sense as to why he’d be so devastated and leave her when he found out she’d been keeping her true thoughts secret from him since the beginning
This is late but... he left her not because she's been keeping it for so long and told him just now, but because she told him at all. He wasn't prepared about that news.
It's implied that the future “memory” Louise experiences when he says that line (a tipsy future-Louise stumbling toward future-Ian holding a wine glass) is the moment when she tells him her secret despite knowing full well that she's about to provoke him into leaving her, and future-Louise is recalling this past statement by Ian as she prepares herself to tell him anyway.
It's not very easy to understand but in the end scene everything becomes clear and you realize it is one of the most beautiful movies of history. So powerful
I’m having just a little problem understanding exactly how the timeline pans out, care to explain to me? Because to me the relationship and Hannah comes after the whole alien thing, but then she says things like “I forgot how it felt to hug you” just as the aliens leave, but also before the actual relationship and Hannah? I know you wrote your comment 2 years ago but maybe you can explain it to me anyways haha
@@OrreBorree After I read your comment I've been thinking a lot about your question but actually I can't answer 🙃🙃 I watched the movie many years ago and I don't remember that detail I'm sorry :(
@@OrreBorree she sees the future , she knew what was gonna happen and when she told the husband about the daughter dying he divorce her, alien said Louise sees future
The power of love and hugs, "...I forgot how good it felt to be held by you..." Mind blowing movie, sentimental, powerful, great music, well written, perfect :)
I forgot how it felt to be held by you..... got me. You can feel the love and dispite knowing her future she still wanna do it all with him. True love.
actually, that is partially true. Most of the music was composed by Johann Johannsson, who did pass away. However, the music playing for this ending scene was composed by Max Richter, and is entitled "On the Nature of Daylight". Fortunately, Max Richter is still alive.
I completely stunt by the ending. The whole story leads to the end which ends up being the beginning. Just like her daughter name and aliens language - a circular.
You know...this hidden meaning also applies to our lives..A person is born out of the world..growing up towards death..Finally came to death but his/her children inherit their parent's things and proceed with their life based on what they've received from their parents..Over numerous years, Humanity did it, and do it, and will do it. That is why we call it life "cycle"..
It is so hard for me to write this, but. My mother passed away a week ago by a heart attack. She was young and happy and dancing when it happened. My heart is full of grief and sorrow. But I'm proud that me and my brother and my mother lived a life full of love. Rest in peace Mom. I'll always love you.
You wont be able to watch this again for the first time, but maybe you can invite others to watch it for the first time with you, and you can live vicariously through them :)
This movie was about ourselves and meaning of life, aliens was just a metaphor about the unknown realm we try to seek , but when we forget to enjoy existence of everything around us right now
Ian’s quote in this scene is so profound. He’s always wondered about extraterrestrial life, but when he actually got the chance to meet them, it was nothing compared to meeting Louise
Wonderful editing in this scene. In particular, I love the match cutting at 3:52 and 3:58 - like Louise's hug with Ian transported her to another similar moment in time, "reminding" her how good it felt to be held by him.
I watched this movie while my daughter (first child) was just a few months old and I finally went to cinema.. oh I cried in the first few minutes and haven’t forgotten. It’s been 6 years and this song (and movie) gets me every time 😭
My wife and I had our first baby boy then watched this movie a week later. We don’t know what will come of our boy but we will live and savor every moment of our child’s precious life.
This is the best example ever of a film with a seemingly large-scale, high concept plot that ends up being a deeply intimate and small story about something beautiful yet tragic.
It will forever be a shame that she didn't win an Oscar for this. I think what she nailed was heartbreaking vulnerability that you felt especially in this scene.
During a visit to Italy I was told that great cinema defines a a society's culture. My Italian friends asked me if there were any great Canadian film makers. I introduced them to Denis Villeneuve.
I read that Villaneuve had to call and convince Max Richter to let him use the music. Richter thought it had been overused. When he heard how it would be used and how essential it was to the story, he allowed it. Thank God.
Two things: Louise’s character may have passed something harmful to her daughter when she was with the aliens. The other thing is, why wasn't there a sex scene in the movie? (Sorry for being a doofus.)
Dude sometimes I get these nihilistic thoughts and then I watch something like this, there I am grateful to have been born just to feel something like this. True beauty and brilliance from Villanveua
for those who don't know, the song is called "on the nature of daylight" by German composer Max Richter. hes brilliant, this song is brilliant. really great artist
Two things: Louise’s character may have passed something harmful to her daughter when she was with the aliens(Not Behind the Glass ). The other thing is, why wasn't there a sex scene in the movie? (Sorry for being a doofus.)
One of the best sci fi flicks in recent memory. Having a daughter a year after this makes this scene that much tougher to watch, but it’s also more beautiful now...
One of the most powerful endings to a film ive ever seen. It blew me away. Anyone involved in the development of this film should hold their head high. Its a masterpiece. Villeneuve will go down as one of the all time greats when he retires.
Tbh, I don’t really think that change was even possible. If you think about it, Banks doesn’t SEE the future. She’s experiencing it, whether she’s in the present or past. Time isn’t linear in this “language”. When she kept having “visions” they weren’t really visions because they already happened. Banks is basically living in a spectrum. Where past, present and future are all one.
The movie is kind of confusing and hard to follow, especially if you’re not paying attention. But the way this scene wrapped everything up together in such an emotional and satisfying manner, makes the entire film worth it. When I tell you I cried.....
1:01 I've always been fascinated by this shot. The use of focus...it seems like Louise's husband is some sort of alien...which he did in fact become. Dennis Villenueve's stamp on his films is the visual poetry. Every shot has a lot of meanings.
You know I've had my head tilted up to the stars for as long as I can remember. You know what surprised me the most? It wasn't meeting them. It was meeting you. What a scene!♥️♥️♥️
Going into this movie blind was the best thing that’s ever happened to me

I never sobbed at a film the way I did at Arrival. Perhaps having a daughter and connecting with what it would mean to lose her - Most moving movie of all time, but maybe not if you are not a parent.

@@heidinewman9335 I was introduced to this movie by friends who are also a couple who doesn't have or want kids. They extolled the brilliance of its approach to language, which intrigued me. The emotional part of the story didn't hit them nearly as hard as it hit me. Caught me totally off guard. It's now my favorite movie.
I've watched this scene maybe 20 times since then and I've ugly cried every single time.
@@vijant1395 I'm so sorry for your loss 😥😥😥😥
When Louise said "I forgot how good it felt to be held by you", it was so romantic and heartbreaking. Because it was actually the first time she hugged Ian, but she could already feel how much she missed being hugged by him.
Everything about this ending was phenomenal
it's the age old saying "is it better to have loved and lost, than never loved at all."
@Bang-Bang415duuude same. i really pondered the end for a long while to make sure i got it all without missing anything, even small details
As the man. I would be confused. This is the first time we hugged what you mean remember 😂
The fact that we never see the title of the film until the very end. This subtle detail is just so brilliant.
Oh wow, how did I never realize that? Thank you.
Bob Buchko 👍🏼
It’s like seeing things the way Louise sees. When already knew what the title of the movie was in the beginning and we are simply reminded of it at the end as if it was the first time seeing it.
So maybe arrival means not just the Aliens coming to Earth, but arriving at a moment in time or Arrival of her daughter.

I had the exact same feeling : it was true love
Omg yes when watching this scene i was crossing my fingers and all hoping they hug and not kiss
Beautiful movie. Most people would think the title Arrival means arrival of the aliens, but it is a reference to the arrival of her daughter. This movie is about how a mother deals with the death of a child, much like Gravity.
Brad Taulbee my two fav films of all time
Me too!!! 😭
It was based on the short story "The Story of Your Life"
I think the movie has too many facets to put one label on it. In my opinion, it was alway about perspective and how we change depending on our situation. ruclips.net/video/z18LY6NME1s/видео.html Nerdwriter1 did a great vid about it.
I mean I'd say it's a little more complicated then that because of the language and time travel aspect of it. She knows exactly what is going to happen in her life and that's what it's truly about (in my opinion). She knows that she's going to wind up alone with her daughter dying prematurely and her husband leaving and it's about how she deals with all of that.
She let her daughter be born because her Arrival was more important than her Departure.
This is why she said "yes" to Ian..Such a masterpiece
Interstellar, Contact and Arrival top 3 movie of all time
I have another version, so doctor benks wants to look forward, he wants to know when they decide to have a baby in the future where that baby is hannah. Doctor Benks finally found out when they decided they wanted to have children when she said "yes" in the future. From there the audience can make a conclusion, whether Doctor Benks still wants to give birth to Hannah even though in the end she dies or avoids the birth of Hannah and decides to have a baby at another time. Because Doctor Benks already knew the time and day they made babies (Hannah)
*sorry, im use Google translate, can't speak english very well
So…so…succinctly said.

A pretty underrated film in my eyes, most people I’ve talked too haven’t seen it , the ones who have love it !
I've seen it 10 times.
true, but it was nominated for best picture
Its not underrated at all.
it made 8x its budget and got 95% critic approval.
It’s too smart for the average movie goers. If it ain’t monsters fighting each other or superhero movies it’s underrated.
That doesn't mean it's underrated, it's just overlooked.
The violin is almost crying over the scene.
Its beautiful
If you want to listen to the whole song, it's called 'On the Nature of Daylight' by Max Richter. He's done some phenomenal work, but this one is outstanding even between the gems.

I lost my son to cancer when he was only six years old. This movie helped me in the most profound way. If I had to do it all over again I would. Just so I can spend the little time I had with him.
Beautiful. Bless you. So sorry for your loss, but overjoyed you got to spend time with him. For sure life is all about the earth shattering beauty of connection and love.
:( so sorry to hear this.
I believe this movie, scene and song helped tons of people all over the world. It helped me through a divorce. Losing my wife and stepdaughter were one of the hardest things I ever had to face but after seeing this movie and hearing this song I felt my life being pulled in a different direction. It Def saved me...that's for sure.
I am so sorry. We lost my cousin in the same way, at the same age. It was a blessing to have known him 🙏
I never cried this hard reading youtube comments. Wishing you all the best in life.
my man has cancer and he asks me the other day if I "regret meeting" him. It reminded me of this... all the good times, by far, outweigh the bad even knowing how it ends... my answer was a simple "no, because any day with you is a day better than without" this scene still tears me up because I know how it ends and i still would choose it all over again for these good moments i have left with him...
I hope you and your husband are okay... 🙏❤
Oh my...
Oh... que comentário lindo. Espero que vc tenha vivido belos momentos
I shouldn't cry over a RUclips comment
You know what I find so fascinating about this movie? Most movies involving precognition or time travel have one of two options: either you physically can't change what happens even if you try, or you can and it makes messing with time near useless due to the infinite possibilities. This is the only story I've ever seen the argument that even if you could change the future based on what you know, you /wouldn't/. Rather than having no choice or too many choices, it argues that humans would choose to keep the future as-is, pain, pleasure and all. I've never seen that argument anywhere else.
Ive gone through that sort of thought process alot for decades and the older i get the more i dwell on it. Ive had some pretty hard things happen in my life (to others they might be trivial but for me personally and emotionally they hit me hard.. real hard), these things and a strong imagination have made me wish I could go back and change them, make them better or tweak things in order to get a good out come for me at that time or make my present better... but when I think about those moments every time and how they would change everything that happened after them, and every bit of good i had from then to now would have never happened I basically go... I guess I shouldnt change them, since what I know is better than what i dont. If you know your life from start to finish both the good and bad, then the thought of giving up the good you know to avoid the bad you know and in doing so have a completely new unknown set of good and bad is to frightening.
So i think if faced with the choice, most if not all people would choose to keep it unchanged... especially when you start to realise that by changing your future you also might be changing someone else's and in doing so robbing them of the good and bad they know.
that's the exact same argument in the bible ...
I've seen this choice in two other places. No three. The first three seasons of Misfits. And in Watchmen and Predistination. Misfits is my favorite of that bunch.
@@djsosonut Haven't seen Misfits (I know, I keep meaning to) and haven't seen Watchmen in years so I can't remember it that well, but in Predestination, wasn't it not really their choice? They were controlled by the time corps or whatever, made to be a self-contained paradox. They didn't control their future, they just did what they were made to. At least, that's how I interpreted it.
@@julesfoster3289 They were controlled by themselves. Pretty much every step of the way. They grew up as an orphan. They fell in love and got left. Time made them lose their feminity, then they would guide themselves back as a male to fall in love with themselves. And take themselves back in time as a child to do the process all over again. Only thing that disrupts the movie from perfection is the extra bit it adds about them becoming a crazed killer. That's not part of the original short story: All You Zombies. The story should've ended with them excepting who they are - mother, father, daughter, the doctor that preformed the c-section to bring them into the word, guide that lead them on this journey - and how they came to be. And embracing every part of it. "I know where I came from-but where did all you zombies come from?"
Watchmen was mainly Jon. Dr Manhattan. Who experiences every moment of his life simultaneously. So he can see himself telling one woman that he'll love her forever, even as his arms are around his new love, and he sees himself losing her too. "We're all puppets. I'm just one that can see the strings." Yet again the comic is better.
Misfits is great. The point I'm referencing isn't perfectly executed. At least structurally there are a few hiccups. But on a character and thematic level it is beyond perfection. And it'll stick with you for years after.
If you are a parent, I can't find a more heart quenching scene than this one. My boy was a few months born when I saw it and, being an old-school grown-no-tears-hardened man I just lost it. And I was thankful...still am each time I watch it. This is my first comment ever on RUclips; I deem it worth it.
I'm a father, I feel so lucky to not knowing where my child's life lead, but I will embrace n welcome every moment of it. And I will tell my feelings more often
This movie was made for parents, for sure. Wow, did it hit me hard.
For us (men) family,
it's important thing, we aren't perfect, but we always try to be

@J B and that’s the power of love…there isn’t a logical answer to this. It’s a motion that will never confront us but what the scene was trying to depict is that love is such a powerful force you want to experience it again and again…and that love…real love will give you the strength to accept hardship and loss too…
I just noticed that in both timelines of this scene, the color of the sky and the light makes us wonder if we're at dusk or dawn, at the beginning or the end of a day. It's a very clever way of reinforcing visually what the protagonist must feel: the choice of considering the events to come either as a fatality (she knows her daughter is condemned to die), an ending, or as a beginning, the start of a beautiful journey with her husband and daughter.
Its night bro...shes drinking wine lmao
That’s clever
everyone is condemned to die
@@FantasyYeetI can drink wine whenever I want TBH I'm just different
I sometimes wake up to this scene playing in my head after all these years this movie still has a great impact on me ❤
Same
This is how I interpreted this ending:
Louise mastered the aliens language which allowed her to see time the way they do, in a non-linear fashion. She can’t change her future because she has already experienced it.
She always knew that Hannah would die very young, you can see she was scared when she was looking at baby Hannah. Louise knows what her future holds but she “embraces it” as the pain of losing Hannah is less painful than the idea that she never exists. She sees her future in this scene and understands she’s already made the decision to have Hannah.
Hannah and Ian always “come back” because, past and future mean nothing to her anymore. It doesn’t matter what has happened or will happen, she has already experienced it. To her, Hannah’s life is a circle, she experiences the joy of having her and the pain of losing her simultaneously.
It says something about life. It’s not about the outcome, it’s the journey you experience along the way.
For some reason, I've always thought Louise had dreams of Hannah even before the Visitors arrived. In some way, we are able to see the future like them, in a non-linear way, and we have a partial vision of the future until Louise masters their language.
“I forgot how good it was to be held by you” keep in mind when she said that they didn’t even start dating yet or anything. She already felt what it was to be loved n held by him bec of her gift.
This is seriously the most perfect interpretation in this whole comment section, beautifully said dude.
@@MelquiIamcan't tell if she said that in the future scene or present one and both of them adds up and makes sense.
Beautifully put..I would add however, that i do beleive it is possible to change the future. One of the key points is that she chose not to.
The aliens did this when they landed also.
See how she knocks on the window to call for Ian.. just like the aliens knocking the window in the spaceship to call out for her. Her window and the one at the spaceship represent the same thing, a window to the future.
Damn. True.
Great analysis
Also both are framed with anamorphic 2.35:1 crop (both are the widescreen look)
This is a great observation I hasn't picked up, thank you
Lots of smart people in the comments. I’m picking up a lot of details I would have missed. This film is so rich you get something new every time you see it.
2:02 the moment she realised that Ian is her ex-husband and Hannah's father. There is such sadness in her eyes. Marvelous work by Ms Adams
@Luc Germain Beautiful
Because by this point she could see time as non linear, so she already knows what she will experience in the future
Love this movie! Such a great metaphor for life --we all know we die eventually but we still choose to get up everyday to fight the fight.
rage rage against the dying of the light
But why? Lol. If everyone dies, then nothing matters. We are just a bunch of psychos bringing dying beings into the world, giving birth to children knowing they are going to die just so WE can feel some love for awhile before we die and leave them here to grieve us...wtf. Love is a beautiful thing, but it dies with us, end of story.
@@ARock437no, I don't want to feel any pain. It sucks, there's no reason for it. I lost my dad when I was 10, my mom when I was 21 and just a year and half ago, my only sister. And I'm still grieving for my sister, grief just sucks!

Least edgy YT comment be like:
He’d say what he feels more often. He values honesty and openness. Which makes perfect sense as to why he’d be so devastated and leave her when he found out she’d been keeping her true thoughts secret from him since the beginning
This is late but... he left her not because she's been keeping it for so long and told him just now, but because she told him at all. He wasn't prepared about that news.
It's implied that the future “memory” Louise experiences when he says that line (a tipsy future-Louise stumbling toward future-Ian holding a wine glass) is the moment when she tells him her secret despite knowing full well that she's about to provoke him into leaving her, and future-Louise is recalling this past statement by Ian as she prepares herself to tell him anyway.

I’m having just a little problem understanding exactly how the timeline pans out, care to explain to me?

It was her only clue to him, as it was the first time they embraced that he was ware of.
The type of empathy this movie explores is one that you find just in uncommon days, and it's like an elixir.

The look in her eyes when she delivers that line shatters me every time.

Calm down
Such a shame that the composer for this film passed away. This is easily one of the greatest themes in all of film history.
actually, that is partially true. Most of the music was composed by Johann Johannsson, who did pass away. However, the music playing for this ending scene was composed by Max Richter, and is entitled "On the Nature of Daylight". Fortunately, Max Richter is still alive.
Guy Raymaker yes I found that out recently, been listening to Max Richter like crazy lately haha.
@@joshuafletcher4501 make sure to listen to the one with Louisa fuller (and co) on it. That's the one they play on the movie.
@@blackwomanorangecat listen to The Leftovers soundtrack
Max Richter is well alive...
Max Richter's music did a magic there.
true
Also the cutting with the music was on point.
I completely stunt by the ending. The whole story leads to the end which ends up being the beginning. Just like her daughter name and aliens language - a circular.
You know...this hidden meaning also applies to our lives..A person is born out of the world..growing up towards death..Finally came to death but his/her children inherit their parent's things and proceed with their life based on what they've received from their parents..Over numerous years, Humanity did it, and do it, and will do it. That is why we call it life "cycle"..
I once saw someone say "it sounds like the music is crying". That really stuck with me, it's true
The cinematography is so beautiful
This film has changed me in a way that cannot be described
It is so hard for me to write this, but. My mother passed away a week ago by a heart attack. She was young and happy and dancing when it happened. My heart is full of grief and sorrow. But I'm proud that me and my brother and my mother lived a life full of love. Rest in peace Mom. I'll always love you.
Rip🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I'm so sorry for your loss
I wish I could watch this movie for the first time again such a beautiful piece of work.
You wont be able to watch this again for the first time, but maybe you can invite others to watch it for the first time with you, and you can live vicariously through them :)
Maybe if understand the aliens circular language then you can.
Ironically, I dont want to watch it for the first time but i still watch it anyway even after knowing what will happen. I would just embrace it.
This movie was about ourselves and meaning of life, aliens was just a metaphor about the unknown realm we try to seek , but when we forget to enjoy existence of everything around us right now
Ian’s quote in this scene is so profound. He’s always wondered about extraterrestrial life, but when he actually got the chance to meet them, it was nothing compared to meeting Louise
thats love
Who cut onions here? ToT
Wonderful editing in this scene. In particular, I love the match cutting at 3:52 and 3:58 - like Louise's hug with Ian transported her to another similar moment in time, "reminding" her how good it felt to be held by him.
Yeah,Felt a bit Terrance mallicky there
I watched this movie while my daughter (first child) was just a few months old and I finally went to cinema.. oh I cried in the first few minutes and haven’t forgotten. It’s been 6 years and this song (and movie) gets me every time 😭
Still one of the best endings in any film I've seen. Thumbs up if you agree.

I did... totally
Didn’t broke down but left in awe. Never saw that twist coming.
Her arrival is more important than her departure
This is the best example ever of a film with a seemingly large-scale, high concept plot that ends up being a deeply intimate and small story about something beautiful yet tragic.
This background music is fantastic!!
Max Richter - On the Nature of Daylight
How come Amy Adams didn’t win the Oscar for this role 🥺💔?
She wasn’t even nominated 🤦♂️
It will forever be a shame that she didn't win an Oscar for this. I think what she nailed was heartbreaking vulnerability that you felt especially in this scene.
Because Scifi movies never get oscars.
Only pretentious dramas do
The biggest snub of the decade
It will still one of the biggest snub in Oscar history
She had another movie out with Oscar buzz too. Theory is she split her own votes. 😞

During a visit to Italy I was told that great cinema defines a a society's culture. My Italian friends asked me if there were any great Canadian film makers. I introduced them to Denis Villeneuve.
the last dialogues of this movie is enough to get you in love with it
what an absolute masterpiece of a movie
This music make the scene so freaking great.
I read that Villaneuve had to call and convince Max Richter to let him use the music. Richter thought it had been overused. When he heard how it would be used and how essential it was to the story, he allowed it. Thank God.
Ian confessing his feelings for her is an amazing piece of the story.
I'm scrolling through the comments seeing how everyone points out a different detail each time.
This movie is amazing
Two things: Louise’s character may have passed something harmful to her daughter when she was with the aliens. The other thing is, why wasn't there a sex scene in the movie? (Sorry for being a doofus.)
This scene was like the slow motion of a slap in my heart. This movie is brilliant in many ways…
you described it so well ong
Dude sometimes I get these nihilistic thoughts and then I watch something like this, there I am grateful to have been born just to feel something like this. True beauty and brilliance from Villanveua
for those who don't know, the song is called "on the nature of daylight" by German composer Max Richter. hes brilliant, this song is brilliant. really great artist
This is one of the greatest pieces of art ever created by man.
This is my favorite movie of all time. Not knowing it was going to be such a deep movie with a sci-fi twist to it. I almost tear up at this scene.
You don't have to lie..I think we all cried to this scene. I lost it.
The most powerful scene I’ve ever witnessed.
i have watch this scene over and over it does something to me.
I came back to this movie when I feel sad. When I feel happy. When I feel lost, hopeless and full of life.
Two things: Louise’s character may have passed something harmful to her daughter when she was with the aliens(Not Behind the Glass ). The other thing is, why wasn't there a sex scene in the movie? (Sorry for being a doofus.)
The best part about Arrival is that I don't know if the first 5 minutes or the last 5 minutes are the best scenes.....
One of the best sci fi flicks in recent memory. Having a daughter a year after this makes this scene that much tougher to watch, but it’s also more beautiful now...
This movie is a master piece. If I die right now, I die with the knowledge that I saw the greates story in human history❤
One of the most powerful endings to a film ive ever seen. It blew me away. Anyone involved in the development of this film should hold their head high. Its a masterpiece. Villeneuve will go down as one of the all time greats when he retires.
What a beautiful movie. If you could see your whole life from start to finish, would you change things ?
Yep: I wouldn't have bothered.
Instantly answered yes to this. Who wouldn't ?
Tiago Matheus I don’t think I would. Any little change can keep my daughter from being born. She’s really changed my life.
@@kennyg6599 I feel the same. The things that happened to me, make me who I am, and make me knew the peoples that I love, even the bad ones.
Tbh, I don’t really think that change was even possible. If you think about it, Banks doesn’t SEE the future. She’s experiencing it, whether she’s in the present or past. Time isn’t linear in this “language”. When she kept having “visions” they weren’t really visions because they already happened. Banks is basically living in a spectrum. Where past, present and future are all one.
This was one of the best cinematic experiences of my life. A top 10 film easily for me.
Came here just after watching The Last of Us 3rd episode. Arrival is one of my favorite movies and this song just gets right through my heart.
Do you know the name of this song?!
On the nature of daylight
The movie is kind of confusing and hard to follow, especially if you’re not paying attention. But the way this scene wrapped everything up together in such an emotional and satisfying manner, makes the entire film worth it. When I tell you I cried.....
Despite knowing the journey... and where it leads... I embrace it... and I welcome every moment of it.

One of the best movies that has been made over the past 10 years. It is underrated gem and worth watching many times.
My favorite scene of the movie. Thank you for sharing this. 🥰
"I forgot how good it felt to be held by you" just gorgeous....
1:01 I've always been fascinated by this shot. The use of focus...it seems like Louise's husband is some sort of alien...which he did in fact become. Dennis Villenueve's stamp on his films is the visual poetry. Every shot has a lot of meanings.
I think it is also supposed to remind of her looking through the glass to the aliens
Every time I rewatch this movie, I can't move on from the emotions by watching this at least for a week.
The most painful film ending ever. I felt desperate and exploded. Wept and sobbed like never before.
One of the best scenes in cinema, so moving..
max richter - on the nature of daylight
Best instrumental song ever!!!!!
I think the NY TImes described it as the saddest song ever composed.
I can play it on piano - learnt it ages ago but still play it all the time. It’s one of my all time favourites
@@edwardruthazer1849 really? When ? I wanna read that article !
@@Pandorasoul It was actually vox.

Accepting every moment of your future even when you know it will be sad… it’s desperately amazing.
This movie was so absolutely breathtaking and will forever be apart of my heart
I literally cried at the end because I understood. No matter the pain, the highs and lows of life, this is what I would still want.
You know I've had my head tilted up to the stars for as long as I can remember. You know what surprised me the most? It wasn't meeting them. It was meeting you.
What a scene!♥️♥️♥️
One of the most profoundly beautiful endings I've ever seen to a film from the acting musical score directing everything it is absolutely spellbinding
