FAQ: (Questions that are asked to me OFTEN, will answer here)
Q: Why is a small portion of the video completely muted?
A: Copyright reasons. Sometimes I get hit with copyright claims AFTER the video has already been posted, my only choice is to refute the claim but if KZfaq denies it, I have to either take down the video or mute the small portion they are claiming. If the video has been up for a while, it is much easier for me to mute this small portion in the YT studio and then unmute it months later after people aren't watching the video as much.
Q: Why is the movie not as loud as I want it to be, why can't you show more of it uncut?
A: Copyright reasons. Notice a pattern here? Most of your questions will likely be answered with some type of copyright related reason.
Q: Why is the movie footage flipped?
A: Again, copyright reasons. I am watching the movie the normal way, it is only flipped for the video.

She knew her daughter would get sick. As she said, she embraces her future, the good and the bad. And she sees all of it. She loved her daughter, and would rather have that experience, even knowing how it will end. The point about time not being linear is very important because she's not just remembering the future, she's *interacting* with it (as the talk with General Shan demonstrates). This is getting into theories having to do with time being the fourth dimension. The past, present, and future exist all at the same time in the fourth dimension, everything is always happening at once, but because we live in the third dimension (and we can't see the fourth), we can only perceive time as a line. The aliens can see the fourth dimension, and once she learns their language, she can too (aside from the intro, the flashes of her daughter only start appearing after their first breakthrough with the aliens).

Which is really selfish of Louise. She was only thinking about how she would feel. She never considered how her daughter would feel. She certainly saw what Ian would think because she took away his choice by not telling him until after they had their daughter. That's so incredibly selfish, no wonder he divorced her

@robynjoffe1494 7 ай бұрын

@benjalucian1515 you seem to be assuming she could have made a different choice, but that's not how fourth dimension thinking works. Time isn't linear, she didn't make a decision based on what she had learned, she learned that she'd made that decision. If time isn't linear, everything that is going to happen is happening right now, but since we're not capable of seeing the fourth dimension, we can only perceive it as a series of events (linear). In learning the language, Louise became capable of seeing everything- past, present, future- all happening simultaneously. This clip, from 1:04 to 2:08, provides a really neat explanation of spacetime and the fourth dimension, if you're interested: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7WSZLyYzcjUqJ8.html

She 100% knew that her daughter would become sick and die - but she still wanted her daughter to have the opportunity to exist, and bring all her wonderful things to the world (like the poetry and drawings she mentions), and live the limited, mostly happy life she'd get. That's why Ian said she "made the wrong choice" before he divorced her - because she chose to marry him and give birth to child that she KNEW would one day get sick and die.

This is in my top 5 movies of all time. I could watch it over and over and over. The feelings it invokes in you... That's what I value most in a movie. And the twist gets me every time with how brilliantly they presented it, all the little clues. Truly a masterpiece in my eyes. And yes, she knew what was going to happen to her daughter, but she wanted to still be able to meet her and get every moment she could, even if it does end badly. Kind of like the saying "It's better to have loved and lost, then to have never loved at all". And the non-linear thing is basically, the past, present, and future are all happening at once, which is how she's able to get information at certain times because she's already "lived" all of it.

NO, she said the general's words in the past, so he knew it in the future to tell her the words. Also she absoultely did know her kid would have cancer, that's whe she told her husband, and he couldn't take it. Even knowing the kid would have cancer, she still wanted the experience, and to give the kid a chance, the idea is to embrace the future, don't run away from it.

@MaafaxKelen Жыл бұрын

I loved this movie. And I like the paradigm that is assumed in it. You don't see the future, you remember it. And as you remember some part of your past (even if you have lived it completely) there is things you don't remember (things not important or too hard to remember surely). Remembering the future assume things like you can't change the future you remember. If you change it there is no point in remembering it. So... I think the future you will have and remember is the one you accepted. It's like trying to get the best ending in a game, and at a point say "I'm OK with that one" and you stop trying to change it. And the future you have is actually the one you agreed to have. She knows she is going to be married, and have a daughter... that will die young and be divorced with Ian. And she is OK with that. => Can you still accept to not give birth while you know she is going to live marvelously? Surely for the same reason that we are loving and caring for our parents even if we know that they will die one day? It's not the end that matters, it's the journey. And besides her life, can we imagine a world were we (as a population) finally know the future? How a war can be started? How can a trahison be committed? All the futures known by everyone will surely help growing humanity, science, finding solutions before having to struggle with the questions and so on. Arrival is kinda like a first stone toward and utopia?

1) In the future (18 months) meeting, the Chinese general remembers how Louise changed his mind (in the present) by telling him something so private and personal. But he also surmises that she would have to have somehow gotten his private number to have done so. So, in the future meeting, he relates the number and the quote as "ENsurance", even though candidly admitting that he doesn't fully comprehend her ability. The only inconsistency is that, in the future, she 'should have' remembered having called him (at CIA/military gunpoint) more clearly. The idea being that there is still only one, consistent future - which itself then brings up the issue of determinism. 2) Many reviewers state that Hannah died of cancer (the hair loss) and some even suspect it was somehow connected with some exposure Louise had on the Heptapod vessel. But Louise only mentions "a really rare disease", implying that it is something already medically known. I think the intention of the screenplay was that there was no exposure and that Hanna's illness/death was "natural" and merely served as a crucial decision point of the plot and theme. 3) Not to get political, but the movie makes an unequivocal - and timely - slap at 'talk radio' (ala Alex Jones) and also (in passing) a certain 'News' channel.

This is a very unique entry that proves sci-fi/drama like Interstellar can work very well, in comparison to sci-fi/action or sci-fi/horror. Prisoners is also a fabulous entry, definitely worth checking out. Oh, and the tune that plays during the opening is called On the Nature of Daylight by Max Richter. It sounds familiar to you because it was also used in Shutter Island during the apartment nightmare sequence.

I enjoyed this movie so much, it was such a breath of fresh air in terms of alien visitation movies. I also love the idea that there is a universal language and understanding that ultimately transcends all - even time itself. That language I feel is love, which is also a concept explored in Interstellar. Love has no boundaries, it connects the fabric of all life together from the highest source, which some people refer to as "god," but which I feel as a term is limited by our human perspective of all things. These aliens understood that the humans who attacked them were simply reacting out of *fear,* but they were consciously advanced advanced enough to know that this didn't define humanity, they knew humanity's potential because they were above the illusion of time itself. They knew that eventually, (through the language they gifted us,) humanity would also transcend all the limitations and behavior that stem from fear of the unknown and come to their aid. This part of the story really touched me. She knew she would lose her daughter, but she loved her so much she wanted to give her that chance at life, no matter how brief, because the love for her daughter tied all of it together, it was that which enabled her to understand their language beyond time. It was all interconnected, at least that's how I saw it. I would love to see more movies exploring making contact with other beings outside of just "invasion" movies. Great reaction, matey. I really enjoyed watching how you engaged with the plot.

The music that opens and closes the film is "On the Nature of Daylight" by Max Richter. He's a brilliant composer. He also composed the soundtrack to HBO's The Leftovers tv series, which is a really great and strange show. In my Top 3 HBO shows. As for this film, one of my favorite moments is when we are first introduced to General Shang. There's a scene in the compound where they are talking and in the background the news is talking about General Shang. We see the CIA Agent using his satellite phone at that same moment, foreshadowing how Louise will need to use that phone to contact the General later in the film. Overall, Arrival is one of my favorite films to come out in a long time (the other one being The Witch, directed by Roger Eggers). I suspect Arrival will ultimately end up in my Top 10 Favorite films of all time when all is said and done.

Absolutely she knew about Hannah. She said it, "Even knowing the journey and where it leads, I embrace it, and I welcome every moment of it." She chose to let Hannah have what life she was able to enjoy, and she chose to meet and love her child for as long as she was able. Remember that this isn't like learning a fetus is likely to have a disease before it's born. Her memories spanned her future as well as her past. She ALREADY knew and loved her child before she was born. Ian didn't have that, and he blamed her for her choice and the pain Hannah would ultimately face. On that note, she also chose to love and marry Ian knowing they would end up going through a painful divorce. She chose the journey over the destination. This movie is beautiful and heart rending. As a divorced parent of young kids myself, I ugly cry every time I watch that ending.

Also, you're right about the music, "On the Nature of Daylight" by Max Richter, being used in other films like Shutter Island. In fact, when Villeneuve asked to use it, Richter said no because he felt it was overused. Villeneuve actually traveled to see him in person to explain how critical it was to the plot and emotional impact of the movie, and Richter agreed after hearing that.

@TARS20 Жыл бұрын

Nope. Shang didn't get "offer weapon". He got "use weapon", which was the same response from heptapod to Louis when she asked Costello in the white room. That implied that that when you asked "what's your purpose here?" And their answer was "use weapon" so it was assumed that "we want war/fight" when they mistranslated the word weapon as gift. Remember Louis's quote from her book "language is the first weapon drawn in a conflict" foreshadowing the mistranslation.

This movie runs on hard determinism, like Tenet or a bunch of other time travel movies. She had the kid because she remembered the kid. If she'd not had the kid she wouldn't have remembered that child existing at all, and the decision to have a kid would never have happened. Like the heptapods, she starts to partially and increasingly see/remember time/her entire life, the way they do. And that's what ends up happening, because it's already real. The theory that she didn't know about her daughers illness contradicts the divorce. He was mad about her decision to have their daughter "knowingly", after all. I'd also imagine determinism would frustrate the hell out of a physicist, or whatever he was. And if you haven't seen Tenet, put that on a list.

01:25 It's Max Richter's _On the Nature of Daylight,_ from his 2004 protest album _The Blue Notebooks._ It's been used in something like 2 dozen movies and TV shows, including Scorsese's 2010 _Shutter Island._ Personally, I think it was a mistake to use it in the film, as it screwed the (amazing) composer, Jóhann Jóhannsson (RIP), out of a chance for a "Best Original Score" Oscar nomination he was being considered for, because the film used it so prominently. It's not just musicians-Film and TV Directors and Editors also get "demo-itis." Jóhannsson could have come up with something great that fit the same mood as the temp track standing on his head, if he'd been willing. Might be my only criticism of this great film, as that track's become a cliché on the level of Samuel Barber's _Adagio for Strings._ Hell, I could have delivered a fine job at it if Villeneuve even knew who I was, lol. Not that I agree at all with the Academy's decision, but Hollywood has been disrespecting composers, who are so critical to a film's success or failure since the mid-century, and especially the '80s when the NLRB crippled any chance of a Composer's Guild that had any teeth, and everybody had to start fighting each other for jobs as Independent Contractors. A real shame.

27:46 There is no "future" and there is no "past" if time is indeed non-linear. Time is circular like how they write in their language, so events always take place before and after each other. To make it simpler, think of time as a clock and put the events on that clock. At the 12 o'clock position put the event of the Chinese Minister telling Louise his number and at the 6 o'clock position put the event of Lousie calling him. If you start at 12 o'clock, you can see that Louise first got the number from him, then at 6 o'clock, she called him and then circle back around to 12 o'clock he is able to tell her that he received her call and she's the reason for the unity. If you look at the events this way you can see there is no paradox, the conversation Louise and the Minister had at the Unification Event happened both before and after she called him if time is non-linear.

This wasn't a 'Hollywood' enough movie....Box Office was a concern. It's very cerebral, so they had to get multiple sources of financing. But if you bring together the right team (producers, director, cast, production design, cinematographer, composer etc) you can do amazing things...Great job by Eric Heisserer to adapt the Ted Chiang short story as well.

You were right. A decent person would not have a child if they KNEW that child would suffer and die young from an incurable cancer. Louise was incredibly selfish. She literally says she had the child so SHE could have good memories about her. What about Hannah? What about Ian? She knew she was doing something selfish because she didn't tell Ian until it was too late She deliberately took away his choice. No wonder he divorced her and it wasn't amicable, because she speaks of him bitterly in the future "If you want science call your father." How many lies did she tell Hannah when Hannah talked about a future Louise knew she would never have? The Louise character is despicable.

If you want to talk about non-linear, you should consider that do you thought the movie was good until that twist. After that odds are your head started rolling backwards on the movie and locating those spots that were given to you as clues. Your mind went backwards. Non-linearily.

Easily the most intelligent sci-fi movie of its entire decade, with no vulgarities and no violent aliens. Also, while the special effects are perfectly decent, there isn't an onslaught of eye-candy to cover up a weak story as in some other movies we can think of.

I assume you don't have children. I would like to give my perspective. As someone who is a foster parent and a parent. It is a tough choice and I think I would choose to have my child anyway. The situation becomes this. Having my children literally changed me and made me who I am today. My children made me kinder, made me funnier, made me more hopeful to the future, and made me care about others more than I ever had before. They gave me the best job I ever had and the job I feel like I was meant to have which was being a daddy. The love you get and the love you get to give is something that is unexplainable. To get all of those things your price would be a lifetime of mourning... It is a difficult decision but being a dad often means you put yourself second. I would be willing to suffer a lifetime of sadness if it meant I could give my child 12 years of joy.

@benjalucian1515 7 ай бұрын

So far you just pointed out all the things YOU get from your child. What about what your child gets? Pain, fear, suffering, lack of a future? Doesn't sound like you're too mindful about that.

@Andrew3455 5 ай бұрын

You're adding a lot into the movie that was never discussed to make a point. I do not recall it being discussed that the illness would be painful. Or that there would be suffering. A child having a lifetime of love and impact cut short or no life at all? You reference a future cut short. Not being conceived, the child would also lack a future no? I do not recall saying its an obvious choice. I stated it would be a difficult one. Years of love and happiness cut short or an absence of life. You claim I only reference what I would get however do not forget that I would also choose to carry a lifelong burden of pain for 8 to 12 years of giving my child joy and love. Imho.

Not pleasant and there is not any sign that it wasn't painful for her. *Not being conceived, the child would also lack a future no* What child?

I know this wasn't your intention, but the phrase "I just solved it" comes off a little odd. At that point in the movie they're trying to tell the audience what's happening. They're not doing it in a stupid in your face way, but they're certainly explaining it so the whole audience (hopefully) starts to realize what they've been seeing this entire time. Idk I'm probably just being harsh, but I solved it sounds like you a cracked a code or something when I think what you really mean is, "oh I get it now".

@DB20204 Жыл бұрын

She knew her daughter would die. That's why her husband left her. I don't blame him. It was a selfish decision on her part, and intentionally deceitful because she didn't tell him until after the child was born. As much as I can sympathize and cry over a love being so great that it's worth experiencing tragedy in its wake, it's just wrong. She can relive moments with her daughter because of how she experiences time, so the loss is mitigated. The dad cannot and is just left with impending doom, and the knowledge that it could have been avoided but he was essentially used. IMO, a moral person would have revealed the truth of the child's inevitable death before conception. Even revealing the truth after conception and doing testing to confirm the genetic disorder and then getting an abortion would have been fine. The poor dad.

This movie is overrated. It is extremely effective at emotional manipulation to be sure, but it honestly has little to say if you step back and really think about it. I get the film has lot to say about the importance of linguistics, but that's not a theme or something anyone would disagree with. The anti-war message is nice, but I'd be hard pressed to think of a movie that was pro-war. It is indeed a beautifully made innovated sci-fi film and no one is going to say otherwise, but a forgettable flick all the same. Honestly, I keep forgetting this movie exists until it pops off in my radar. Fun Fact: In Arrival (2016) Forest Whitaker plays a military officer who recruits civilian experts with special skills to assist with the first contact of an alien species. In Species (1995) he was a civilian expert with a special skill who was recruited to assist with the first contact of an alien species. Solving Style Fact: While the shape of the ship was decided early on, Denis Villeneuve had great difficulty imagining an interior that would allow humans to easily navigate through such a steep and vertical design. The later decision to turn gravity sideways offered an obvious and convenient solution. Rosetta Stone Fact: Director Denis Villeneuve and screenwriter Eric Heisserer created a fully functioning, visual, alien language. Heisserer, Villeneuve, and their teams managed to create a "logogram bible" that included over a hundred different completely operative logo-grams, seventy-one of which are actually featured in the movie.

See I feel the theme of the movie is quite apparent. It's the question she presents. If you knew how your whole life plays out, if you knew what was going to happen, would you do anything to try and change it? And you see her characters personal answer by seeing all the flashforwards. I find it deeply moving. And don't get me wrong, I totally respect your opinion! We all experience art differently, that's the great thing about it. I just thought I'd give my take on it, see if it maybe resonates at all with you. Sending good vibes your way (cheesy, I know, I just cant think of a way to end this positively so you dont think Im criticising you)! 😊
