Denis Villeneuve 'Arrival'

[Niqqa You Gay]

This movie got a sticky?
The suspense in the first part of it was great, but once i figured out nothing was going to jump off I was watching the rest of the movie like
It was aight, but anybody calling this a masterpiece got to be one of them art nikkas that see a splash of random colors on a canvas and rave about how amazing and daring it is

 

[peppe]

i liked the movie

Spoiler: SPOILER

but yeah when it was pretty obvious they were there to just give a message it sucked because I wanted to know more about the language.

but again go watch it, it's good it takes it's time to create the characters and story.

But in the end you have to question yourself is it really a gift they give you? Who wants to know their daughter will die in a few years?

sapir whorf hypothesis breh, it's not about knowing your daughter will die.

Spoiler

it's about being able to see time from a different perspective and not have to anticipate or react to events, but to enact them

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Just saw this

It was cool, not wgat I expected... Like one person clapped


It was cool though. I will have to rewatch it again to see what I missed. The aliens/language was cool abd they trying to figure out the meaning of the words and purpose the Aliens were there for was cool.

The whole "we're here to give you a gift.. Which is teaching you the language and our view of time" was also pretty cool/different. But I still want to know by what they mean by them will needing humanity in 3000 years. Kinda left me with a few questions but still was good

 

[Soundbwoy]

finally saw it and loved it, it wasnt what I expected but

 

[Lord Beasley]

Like for real are these nikkas serious

The movies about learning a new language

I bet there's a lot of posters in here biggin up this bullshyt but nitpicked the fukk out of creed and Compton

I don't give a fukk what these snobs got to say Amy Adams and Hawkeye didn't give a performance like Tessa and MBJ

Foh

How? Both of those movies are critically acclaimed. Just cuz dense mothrrfukkers didn't enjoy the movie doesn't mean everyone has to agree with them

 

[StraxStrax]

Old post but I think it's funny that you, who said you watched it in Rotterdam so I assume you're Dutch, have to explain to presumably an American that others learning English doesn't necessarily develop communication as well as English speakers learning another language

I'm not discussing plot here but I work in foreign language acquisition and English speakers in general are lazy as fukk and expect the world to understand them but rarely ever again bother to pick up a second tongue

Preach :winnie:

Just saw it last night, really liked it.

Spoiler

Some of you all who were hoping for a war need to re evaluate yourselfs.

The "gift" was uniting the world's countries to maintain peace and ensure humanity's survival. Notice how at the end of the movie all of the countries were working together to decode the language. The aliens said at one point in 3,000 years they were going to "need" humanity, so the they had an interest in helping us survive, hence why they came in the first place.

 

[Scoop]

The most interesting theory would be since she will learn to experience all time at once that she was harboring feelings of depression over the loss of the daughter she hasn't even had yet, rippling back through time. But honestly, just normal depression would work the same because it makes it easier to understand that she will accept the life of painful moments ahead because despite all the pain she will still get to live.

Spoiler

She didn't lose the 2nd daughter, the one she had with Renner's character, in the film. She lost the first daughter to cancer before the main plot of the film started. There were two separate girls in the film. Once she learned the alien language she started having flash forwards to a daughter she hadn't had yet.

So everyone in this thread had it wrong?

Yeah there's two separate daughters in the film, the first one that died in the beginning from cancer has dark hair. That's why Adam's character is depressed and detached throughout the film. The 2nd one is the red head she has with Renner's character in the future.

She only starts time jumping forward once she learns the alien language (that's the whole point). Everything before she learns the language is linear or flashbacks.

Well if that's true, at all the people in this thread who acted like they were smart enough to know how this film played out. not one person caught that.
