I'm a student of linguistics and I loved Arrival. Probably my favorite scene is early on, where Louise is in a helicopter with some of the army guys, one of them says something, she doesn't hear it, he gestures to his headphones, and she understands and puts hers on. I think it's a really subtle way of foreshadowing the theme of communication outside of what we think language is-- no one ever learned to gesture like that, but it still got the message across.

As a father to a deceased daughter, Arrival was a great movie that get's most everything right and discusses a difficult topic in a mature and interesting fashion that we, as a culture, don't talk about very much. I think the only thing that puzzled me at all in the movie was the question of "Would you have a child if you knew it was going to die early?" The answer was so easy for me, given my personal experiences, it seemed like the wrong question altogether. But my experience isn't most people's, so if Arrival helps others come to the 'profound' understanding that love isn't about quantity or duration and that you have to accept 'unfair' results with grace, then great. I really hope Arrival can help propel the movie industry into making more science-fiction movies that deal with complicated themes. Arrival was the first science fiction movie in a while that reflected a lot of the complex themes you see in good science fiction books without dumbing them down to a caricature or a set of random hand waves at deeper philosophical debates.

@ruskokollektiv5457 6 лет назад

I know this is super late, but I really like your comment. I haven't lost a child, but I've lost a few people very close to me to cancer and your answer really resonated with how I felt watching this movie. Every time I see an article or a RU-vid comment claiming she was selfish for deciding to have her child, I simply can't get into that headspace. There's no one I've lost that I wouldn't go through ten times the amount of pain if it meant having our exact history not be erased. And I imagine it only goes orders of magnitude more for your own child. Every time I get done watching this film I turn to my wife and tell her I love her and everything she is. To me, the film wasn't about whether or not you would go through the pain to have the person you love. It wasn't even about the idea of time being unchangeable or her free will being curtailed like some have claimed. It's about appreciating everything good while we have it. Because even if we could know the future, our experience would eventually mold us to make the same decisions and go through the same things anyway. To me, this is more a deep musing on the changeable nature of human thought, emotion, and decision-making and using that as a lens to see the deeper truth of how special, unique, and priceless each and every moment of love we have is. We never know how long we have, and the next moment isn't promised. So be the person every day that will make people be glad you were there even through the pain of losing you. And tell people you love them.

@@ruskokollektiv5457 Yeah I don't get the selfish accusation on Louise (Adam's character). Like, she gave life to a human being. The greatest gift there is. Her daughter, Hannah, wouldn't be able to have that gift for long, but at least she had it and got to have a life. If she made a different choice, Hannah doesn't get this incredible gift. She gave life, one of, if not the greatest gift you can give another human being.

@valsptsd814 3 года назад

@anthonyburn1010 2 года назад

@@ruskokollektiv5457 - yes, when I hear people say she was selfish, it makes me think of the lesson of another film - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which is that just because somethings (most things) ends in pain, does not mean you should choose to erase them if you have the choice.

@kaleb749 4 года назад

I think one of the biggest things I can pin down as to why this is my favorite movie by miles, is loss. Many other movies and stories have strong resolution, giving us a "Happily ever after" sort of feeling, even with the bittersweet endings. But just as loss pervades every moment of the movie, so to will it afterwards. It isn't okay. But it's okay that it will never be okay. Louise will be dealing with this emotional conflict for the rest of her life, but she is at peace with it. This is so resonant for real life. We never completely resolve conflict in our life time, and death is hardly a resolution. But we have to make peace with our constant conflict to be happy, make peace with the likelihood of never having a true resolution. You don't get that from most movies.

@r-pupz7032 3 года назад

This film is staggeringly beautiful. I lost my partner, not same as a child, but this is one of the best films handling grief I've ever seen. It's much more realistic than most I've seen despite being a sci fi high concept masterpiece. One of my big things after Dave died was that I would do it again, because the pain was worth the joy of knowing him. And I wouldn't be who I am now without his love and losing him. It informs every aspect of my life. I owe Dave everything and he brought me so much joy. Learning that mattered so much to me after he died. It didn't diminish the pain at all but it was really important to my ability to cope with it, knowing the love was worth the pain and the pain had value even if it didn't have any meaning. And now, 8 years last his death, sometimes I feel like I'm right back there in the early days after he died, or even before he died. Sometimes I go days then it hits me again.. I have a a very different relationship with time. It most definitely didn't feel linear anymore. It tore my life apart but I would do it all over again. I love you Dave 🖤🖤🖤

@haloharley15 3 года назад

I was at a Job Corps when this film came out and I got a copy and watched it late at night. Had me in tears in the first 5 minutes. At the end of the film I was quietly sobbing in my bed, I went to the night shift supervisor (who I was cool with) with tears streaming down my face. He saw me and asked me what was wrong "It's kinda dumb but I finished this movie Arrival..." he stopped me and said "Oh man, my wife and I watched that the other night, can I do anything?" I asked if I could go out and smoke, he said sure and went out with me and we talked about the film. Will forever be one of my favorite films

I love this movie so much. The entire sequence up to Louise meeting the aliens for the first time felt so visceral. It hit me particularly hard as an introvert, since I feel like that a lot when I know I have a particular kind of social interaction coming up soon, and no movie has ever hit that for me in quite the same way before. I absolutely need to watch this movie again to try to catch things that I didn't the first time through.

@iamlordmoldyshorts 6 лет назад

I'm so glad that you seemed to enjoy Arrival as much as I did. I saw it prior to its public release (at a film festival) and spent months raving about it, only for it to receive lackluster reviews from my cinema-going peers. I could never put into words precisely what was so astounding about both Arrival and Amy Adams performance (not to mention...which you didn't...seriously? the outSTANDING musical stylings (and song choice in the trailer!)) Evidently, I just needed to find your video so I could shove it in their incorrect faces. :) So thanks for that.

So the next three choices are Disney classic, Disney experimental, and Disney modern? I long ago gave my vote in perpetuity to Mikey (since I believe he can and will have something insightful to say no matter what the topic at hand might be) but this promises to be an interesting vote, to say the least. Can we just agree that he should do all three? In fact, can Mikey just do all the movies forever? I realize I am a 34 year old man who is currently fangirling but Movies with Mikey is appointment viewing for me, in the truest sense of that word and Doodles of mr Newman currently take up a large portion of the margins of my trapper keeper with a horse on it.

@justkat515 7 лет назад

I'm going emperor's new groove only because I recently realized that kuzco's groove could be equated to ADHD's hyperfocus state because I was in the middle of making a painting, got interrupted, and got pissed as shit. The only thing I could do to explain why I was so mad was to just say "YOU THREW OFF MY GROOVE" only later remembering that was an existing phrase and that there are times when one really should "beware the groove." So basically, this movie's been on my mind this week and I'd love to see your take.

@idrils 7 лет назад

I love how this film not only plays with content expectations, but also metastructural expectations. We expect all main characters in films (thanks to the consolidated monoculture that has become scriptwriting) to follow always the same path : they have a main conflict to solve, or wound to heal, therefore in such situation, they do so and so. You "have to" justify your characters actions, therefore everything can be predicted in a logical linear fashion. A therefore B therefore C. Which is only but one way to look at the world, at time, at causation, culture, at the human soul and its many reasons. When we see the loss of her daughter, we think it's the past not only because it's chronologically before but also because we recognize it as "oh, this is psychological background for the character, that's familiar". and then they go NOPE and it's wonderful. It's not a film about decision making, it's a film about how much of life is not so much the decisions you make but how you live it. To which i say, yes, thank you movie, yes, yesssssss. Take that, economists and military strategists, and election pollsters.

@porgy29 6 лет назад

I finally got around to seeing this and one thing that jumped out at me was the ways that they played with focus. Some of the establishing shots have a supper long depth of field, in particular the helicopter shot when she first gets to the base but their are a lot of shots where the depth of field is so short that people in the background are just distorted blobs. I feel this both worked by making regular people and animals resemble the unfamiliar aliens and they way they appear on the other side of the partition and by making it feel like how memory works. Combined with all of the reaction shots where they don't actually show you what they are reacting to for a very long time it makes the movie have a sort of deja vu feeling where you are trying to remember something but it is just out of reach or their are important details that you cant recall. I don't know where this job normally falls in the credits but I noticed that the Focus Puller was listed pretty prominently and while I can no longer remember their name (and it annoyingly isn't listed on IMDB) they did a great job.
