whoa, the ending of the video is deep. you nailed it. respect.
"Despite knowing the journey and where it leads, I embrace it and welcome every moment of it."
^^^to me, that's the whole movie in a nutshell. So many layers. Brilliant story (despite it's flaws / plot holes)…
Good job, well studied
bootstrap paradox is okay!
much better if you wouldnt add these side reference shit

awesome movie. oscar material
Thanks for making things clearer and for making me laugh with Lost, Stranger Things and Supernatural references xD Marry me please. Just joking. Or am I?
Hold on, so the movie can be put in an infinite loop?
VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION: WHEN LOUISE AND THE CHINESE GENERAL WILL MEET AGAIN IN THE FUTURE IN THAT GALA, LOUISE WILL NO MORE BE SURPRISED FOR THAT ENCOUNTER BECAUSE SHE ALREADY SAW IT IN THE PAST, SO THAT MOMENT WILL BE DIFFERENT FROM HER VISION OF THAT MOMENT, SO HOW COULD SHE "SEE" THAT MOMENT IN HER MIND IF THAT MOMENT WILL NEVER EXIST IN THE FUTURE?
Bravo!
What were the other 11 there for?
I thought the birdcage was used like in mining shafts – if the bird dies, the air is not safe
I prefer to think that as soon as she understood the language her consciousness jumps through different points of time seeing how they are connected… and interacting with them. Scenes of her daughter are in fact in the past, but she lives some of them from the future. They break up not because she said hey, we just gave birth to cancer girl… but because she said they would need to meet again to save humanity and he had to prepare. So in the end… they get back together. Yay… happy ending.
does anyone know what that chinese generals wifes dying last words were?
Is there a time stamp for when he explain how the guy ends up being her husband
I have a few issues with the movie:
* if she's knows telling the husband will result in divorce, why tell him? If you could see the future, wouldn't you adjust it?
* The movie is, once again, American centric. China isn't stupid. I think even they are aware that an all out war with vastly superior aliens is an all round bad idea.
* The aliens have obviously an alarming appearance, looking like something between a spider and a squid. The physics guy throws up after the first time of seeing them. Firstly, why? I don't throw up when I see a giant octopus at the zoo behind a window. Secondly, if people are having this reaction wouldn't it make sense for the people in charge to show images or video to first-timers, to mentally prepare people beforehand?
Where can i find the video by Ted Chaing with people who speak different languages meeting each other?? It was at 4:12
(GIANT HAND ALIEN inspiration??? See the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfWCoexSZMQ&spfreload=10
Dear Denis Villeneuve! First of all, Congratulations to you and your production team with Arrival Film. I have enjoyed it. My name is Baris Dilaver. I am a former Cirque du Soleil artist and as well a documentation and visual artist. I have produced a film about the DELRIUM show back in Montreal 2005. I have worked and created this film for some years by my own. I agree with you, that it is a big challenge TODAY to try to create something that has "NOT BEEN DONE before!! Right! 🙂 Strangely, The main quality and idea of those (Aliens and spaceship corridor and The Giant Hand idea) ) remind me strongly of my creation (DELRIUM film) of Cirque du Soleil!!!!! as you can imagine I am little schocked but smae time I am happy you have enjoyed MY IDEA!!! :))) SEE THE LINK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfWCoexSZMQ&spfreload=10 GREETINGS FROM AUSTRIA.

I'm really curious about the video you mentioned that was released by the studio about the strangers trying to overcome their language barrier, but can't figure out how to look for it. Can you give us any links or a title to it?
Great Vídeo!!!
SPOILERS I'm pretty amazed that nobody has noticed the many times viewed kid's drawing with mother, father and a cage with a bird. This drawing is viewed a lot in the film. Why would the bird in the drawing would be so important if not to be correlated with the bird in the monolith-ship? If you think of it, in the ship there are Louise and Ian teaching the aliens how to communicate and a cage with a bird, just as if they are a family teaching its child how to communicate…
Sheng wasn't the President you fuck. You hack. You hack fraud. He was a general. He had superiors. Presidents don't have superiors you fraud. Downvoted. Good job
Thank you, I had missed a few of the clues
Great video. However, the star of Ishtar has eight points, not seven like these beings have.
Mystical meaning of the 7 pointed star?
From Quora.com:
Religious and occult symbolism. The heptagram was used in Christianity to symbolize the seven days of creation and became a traditional symbol for warding off evil. The heptagram is a symbol of perfection (or God) in many Christian sects. … The heptagram is known among neopagans as the Elven Star or Fairy Star.
y was there a 12 ships ?
The movie was a boring steaming pile of shit.
this movie is an F minus minus minus
Its quite rational to be happened at by anomaly life existence, seeing through the digest by this movie tells us that time isn't prevail to "alien/anomaly" destiny. Very complicated but the best.
My question is, why did they came to Earth to begin with? Just to tell Louis how to stop a war? I don't get the ''We need human's help every 3000 years'' part.
Somebody can explain?
the bird was just to test the environment. notice how they all stayed behind the bird at first. the bird is the canary in the coal mine. amy adams moving past the bird was showing her opening up to exposure and risking everything etc
Nice touch with the song at the end that's the soundtrack of Upstream Colour :))
wow, just found your channel awesome work. The ending was very deep, nice work. (Subscribed).
"Hannah's cancer could be the result of both of her parent's exposure to the aliens"
Or perhaps as I saw it… The chemicals/inoculations that were forced upon both parents by the government and actually more to the mother, caused Hannah's illness.
Maybe somebody already explainded, but how louise Manage to obtain the information from The Chinese general the first time, because it got to be a first first time, maybe he told her so, but so easily and why? being such a private matter, those are the last words of his wife!
i like the song in the end of this video 🙂 I Origins <3
the loop I don't understand is in future anyone who study Alien language knows future or Louise was "the chosen one"
I understand this movie 100%. I really do. And I do actually still like it. I just wish the message was a bit more than "don't be sad that it ended, be happy that it happened". This was one of the most hyped movies of last year, and after seeing it, and pondering it for a bit, all I could say was, "is that it? Really?"
First of, I think Louise has naturally the ability to see the future. It simply didn't serve the right purpose yet, which became useful when she communicated with the aliens.
Second, the future is happening at the same time than the present as there is no such thing as linear time in the reality of the universe (at least in this movie). Reason why she could alter some events such as the conversation with the Chinese President, discussions with her daughter… But hey, this only my point of view
The idea is that time is cyclic, rather than linear, not that Louise can see into the future. Her futre is the same as her past, so she can see it all.
so… better to have loved and lost than to never having loved?
