A clip from Denis Villeneuve's Arrival where Louise uses the alien language to save humanity. I do not own the rights to this video. It is being used purely for educational purposes.
Criminally underrated movie, imho. My brain exploded when watching this movie and seeing everything unfold. I couldn't wait to rewatch again. I get goosebumps every time during this part and the parts that followed.
@@Applest2oApples Whenever I mention or talk to people about the film, nobody ever seems to know what film I'm talking about.

La La Land came out the same year and also had over double what Arrival had. So yes...underrated. If a movie gets nominated, but yet no one saw it, then it still classifies as underrated.

I think it’s probably “rated” about right. Great reviews and $200m worldwide. I think it may seem to be below the radar because it’s an anomaly- a movie with aliens that’s pretty quiet and cerebral. Definitely not a spectacle, so there weren’t many “Whoah!” moments that push it out front and center.

This movie was AMAZING! The fact that it wasn't seen by more people and lauded with praise saddens me. A truly unique story told in an interesting way.
@HanifBarnwell I still call Amy Adam's "Jodie Foster knock off". And it's wrong of me. I'll work on that or just continue the poor response despite my love as this is my favorite movie. If movies are realities we are segregated from, then this i forgot that the woman in Contact was an Amy Adams knock off if it helps.
This reveal ("I called you, didn't I?") was one of the few times a movie has given me head-to-toe goosebumps. I was so thrown off when Shang walked into this scene, and when she said that line, I actually did like a comical gasp, with the entire subplot of her 'memories' instantly getting recontextualized. Such a fantastic moment. There's something subtle here too - Shang had been portrayed as having an itchy trigger finger; even the point that the way he chose to communicate with the heptapods with a game of opposition backed that up. But then we meet this Shang; he's humble bordering on deferential to her and he's as smart as she is. Delightful subversion of expectations.
Admittedly, it is a movie that you have to work for. I watch a lot of sci-fi and I found the pacing a bit dull, and the time skips were a headache. The ending was quite a payoff, but even then, I was kind of tired and it was hard to really be excited about it. On the second time watching -- it was no longer possible to think that this film is anything less than a rare work of genius.
Every single time, this movie drives me to tears. Amy Adams absolutely steals the show. I can feel all of her emotions, and I feel as if I am inside the story.
For those that love the film, read the short novels as well. Each takes a conceit, a small idea, and plays it through via narrative. Well well worth it, Ted Chiang is an amazing writer.
Great movie, and one that gets better after repeated viewings. At first, you're confused as to what's happening here. On the second viewing, after you realize she's seeing future events, you're thinking it's weird that she wouldn't remember the things she did in the past. Later you realize that, although we the audience are seeing the events occur as separate "visions" in a linear fashion, Louise is seeing it all at once... she's existing in both timeframes at the same moment. Personally, I don't think being able to see your entire timeline at once would unite humans... I think it would drive humans insane. 🤔😵💫
I agree. And it's a silly concept... like thinking someone can exist in two separate physical locations. It's impossible in the same moment, therefore, time is linear!
I find the film very comforting. My grown up disabled child will get Alzheimer's with a near 100% probability. I often think of this film and of her life with her daughter.
It was a beautiful movie, sad but inspiring. She knew her future would be filled with intense grief but chose to have that love exist if just for a brief moment in time.
I saw it twice and I know that there is lot I did not pick up on. I hope Jeremy Renner can return to work one day. He and Amy Adams were very good in this. 3/2/23

In my top 5 movies of all time Director - brilliant Actors superb The musical score by Max Richter - brilliant The original story by (maybe) the greatest thinker right now Ted Chiang - amazing This movie only gets richer the more you watch it. BTW Chiang's brilliant concept of time being non-linear is in a number of his amazing short stories. Just beautiful. My life is better because of the books of Ted Chiang and this amazing movie.
When I saw this movie on the big screen, I realized early on that the scenes weren't being shown in chronological order, but I didn't get it. Now I want to watch it again, partly because I now understand the story, and partly because Amy Adams is in it.
It isn't an alien language we will use, are using now, to save humanity. It is our own. When we thoroughly have learned what 'to charm' means, we have it, because we will never look away again from the capacity for doing so. Keep your poetry close at hand.
It is a tragedy when you are Cassandra. I can see the big picture so I can see how things will unfold. I am always told I am crazy and punished. I've stopped telling people. People will always shoot the messenger. We are despised.
Our minds can't make sense of the film rationally, because they operate on a linear model of time. At least, 99% of our minds - there are probably a handful of Tibetan 50-year full-time meditators and whatnot whose minds do not operate like everyone else's. But the rest of us do, so we cannot conceive of non-linear time. We just can't. We can form a theoretical idea about it, but we can't experience it. So the idea of it is the basis for this film.
Time is a rainbow color of infinity. A never ending consumption of a circle that has no end. Nothing is connected and everything is connected. There is no head look for the looker.
The Military (generally) can only offer a Military Solution to any Given Problem because that’s how Military Minds are taught and trained to Think. Which is why the Defence Department embed into the Military, Civilian Special Officers who specialise in Military Planning, amongst other things. These Civilian Special Officers, whilst able to Plan Military Solutions, can also Plan Adaptive Solutions which incorporate Civilian Aspects of Logic. I know this to be true because I spent 15 years attached to the ultra secretive Australian Department of Defence and embedded into the Australian Military, chiefly although not exclusively the Australian Army, specialising in Military Planning, Operational Logistics and other back room stuff I’m not permitted to specify, in the interest of Australian National Security.
The broad public and even the average politician is nowadays not able to solve even the simplest problems. Therefore a thank you for your service from Germany, one of your alliance partners.
btw In reality, the US would be the aggressor. Did you know that in order for film makers to be authorized to use US military equipment in movies they can't portray them as the bad guys?
I love this movie and as much as I love interstellar...this is very much more deep and meaningful in so many ways...and it really isn't even a story about aliens...thats the great thing...its a story about aliens that is really about US and who WE ARE...and what we can accomplish with a little faith in each other. And sometimes bad things may end up happening but in the end...life is a gift, as short as it is...and as painful as loss can be...even if the way we lose someone is tragic, making the choice to have that person in your life anyway is courageous and the entire movie they set up the duality between Renner's more scientific perspective to her more "spiritual" linguistic perspective which ends up also changing the way they handle loss and the decision to love even if it can't be for that long.
So this lady saved humanity(by sheer luck like the usual movie nonsense) and could see that her child was going to die of cancer at a young age and still chose to have that child, what a selfish vile person. The one choice this character had and she chose to condemn a child to a short life and a horrific battle with cancer because of her own selfish narcissistic ego(all egos are narcissistic), she didn't think once about that child's quality of life or lack of life,no wonder the physicist bro left her(she's a cruel self absorbed person).
What makes you think she had any ability to change anything? And if she COULD change anything then maybe knowing beforehand would end up helping the child survive. Also you kind of entirely missed the point of the love and joy you get from having a kid. It wasn't neglected. It just died, we ALL live life knowing that could happen to any one of us at any time. Should we not have kids because there's a good chance they'll be subject to pain and death in their lifetime? No, because that's ridiculous.
Hollywood writers today are about as subtle as sledgehammers with their forced social commentary. 'All us men need to bow down to the superior, genius intellectual mousy haired woman who we are even lucky to know' 🥴
