First time watching Arrival and it was out of this world. Just like my Good Will Hunting reaction - I had a grand time editing the Arrival video! This movie is amazing in so many ways that I find it hard to cut some scenes out! Every scene is shot so beautifully and has so many nonverbal emotional scenes.. and the music???? Perfection! This is going to be another long video and I absolutely love it. Thanks for watching. Cheers!

@emmaatkinson7379 3 ай бұрын
Canaries' metabolism and processing of oxygen (they're so small, so they run through any inputs way faster) in comparison to larger mammals like humans means that a bird will experience distress and die to air-bourne poisons faster than a human would. So, they acted as a measurement for miners when they would go down into tunnels where there might be balloons of carbon monixide or other toxic gasses, and their distress would signal to get out of there. Pretty cold-blooded, but a genius way to work around the problem before we had things like gages and geiger counters and computational measurements to signal danger.

One of my favorite thing about this movie is how "alien" the aliens look. Most movies that have aliens depict them with very human features, like a head with a mouth, eyes, and teeth. In reality an alien would probably look nothing like any life on Earth since its biology would be completely different. While most life on Earth has a basic head, body, and limb body plan, an alien life form would probably have something completely different. Throughout the movie you look at these creatures trying to figure out where their face is, where their eyes are, and that's the brilliant thing. They don't necessarily have one like we do.

When he asked her “do you wanna make a baby.“ And she hugged him. You’ll notice the longing and aching on her face because she already knew that the moment they make the baby she would die she knew the future from the moment they were hugging in real time. That’s why she asked him the question “if you had to live your life over again, would you do it?” She chose to have a baby knowing the baby would die. She would lose her husband, but in 3000 years she would be saving the alien species life.

That is something that every parent has to deal with. There is 100% chance that the child you bring into the world will die. Your only hope is that they have a full life and the selfish part being that you hope you will go before them so you don't have to bear that loss. What she did becomes insanely noble because she knows with her foreknowledge that not only will she lose her baby girl, but that she can't change the outcome and it will also destroy her marriage. Denis Villeneuve don't miss, at least not so far.

I will never forget when I first saw this movie. It was a bad day for me, it was the anniversary of my daughter dying. I had been feeling like shit all day and at the time, I was a server at a dine in movie theater. It was late at night and I saw that this movie was premiering and I was like ok I’ll go see it, just to distract myself. When i looked at online ticket sales- almost empty. By the time I sat in my spot, the theater had sold out out of no where. Then I’m watching this masterpiece and the ENTIRE storyline surrounds her daughter dying and her choice to go through with having her anyways because however few their moments together- it was worth it. And at the end I was like 🥲😭🥲😭🥲😭🥲😭😭😭😭 and other people in the theater were like 👀💀😬😐 when passing me. The ODDS of my going to see THIS MOVIE on THAT day. Wild. Still one of my favourite movies tho

The reason why Louis had to take off the hazmat suit is not to confuse the heptapods with the initial word to describe them; "Human". They all look the same in Hazmat suits. So when Louis introduced a new word, which is her name, she needs to let the heptapods understand that it's a specific word for a specific person, and the heptapods can only tell the difference if they're out of their suit instead of looking the same and confuse them with the previous word. Language is amazing.

Arrival is one of the most amazing but most difficult movies to watch. Just watching you watch the beginning with my own little girl leaning on my lap… ugh. I watched it the first time when I was struggling to have a child and it was gut wrenching. Then I watched it after having my little girl and could barely make it through the beginning. The sorrow that hangs over the film is so powerful but makes so much sense. The dilemma of wondering if we even have free will… could she have chosen to not have Hannah? What would have happened if she’d told the father in advance? So many questions… but ultimately recognizing that getting to be her mother was more valuable than avoiding pain.

Always love to hear parents input in these movies that deal with parental issues so thank you so much for sharing. I'm happy you were able to get a little angel of your own. I know there's no way for a parent that love their child to watch this film without feeling all those emotions on an extra level. The sorrow is so powerful indeed. yes so many questions, I feel he was such a sweet man that if she told him in advance and explain where her heart was, I believe he would have decided to have her still, but then again the movie shows us that their bond became stronger through his absence. So many questions indeed, so many possibilities. I'm happy she chose to love and lose rather than not love at all

The aliens are truly alien - which really raises the stakes of the movie. I also love how the whole movie is explained in the first few minutes, during the Hannah montage when Louise says "memory doesn't work the way I thought it did" Those are the little gems you notice on the second viewing.

The thing is, because Louise understands the "universal" language so deeply, she carries all of the memories of her daughter in her mind, every single moment, and because of the palindrome/circular nature of it all, she lives those moments like the present always and forever. It's beautiful that she is willing to carry the pain of loss in order to bring her daughter's light into the world. Like you said, connection and communication because we're all part of the same ecosystem.

In my dream I said that I knew it would happen that way because I dreamed it, talking about something that already happened in my dream, but hadn't happened yet in real life. And it did happen exactly as I dreamed it. In the dream, and in real life, I was walking with a friend having a conversation, and I'd never been there before. It kind of didn't even look like a real place. And as I was walking and I said the thing I said in my dream, I stopped dead in my tracks because I realized that this was what I dreamed, the weird path that sloped down on both sides and had trees beyond the slopes on each side. It is quite trippy to remember something that hasn't happened yet. Yeah, this movie is a masterpiece, and watching it with you is lovely, I love your commentary.

This is a brilliant movie and Denis Villeneuve is one of today's best filmmakers. Like you I really appreciate that the aliens are friendly and helpful. It allows for broader possibilities in the story. I love this movie because it inspires people to think about time in new ways. Movies like this and Interstellar, Inception, Contact, Coherence, The Matrix, and many more demonstrate really well the malleability and slipperiness of time and space. What the [Bleep] Do We Know? (2004) is definitely worth watching, even if not for your channel, for some interesting perspectives on reality, which is a lot weirder than we realize. Edit: Also, Cloud Atlas (2012), from the Wachowskis and Tom Tykwer (Run Lola Run), starring everyone, is a beautiful sci-fi movie with six intertwining stories that show the effects people have on each other through time.

I once heard a quote that said time is what prevents everything from happening all at once. This language is the tool that allows time to disappear, allowing events to happen concurrently. In the case of these aliens there is no present, there is no past, there is no future there is only what is. So in a way, there is no point to the question is this her past or her future. She is not seeing her past or her future she is simply experiencing her life as it is in its totality in the moment. And she goes "forward", after learning the language, seeing her life in its totality, which is why time jumps happen continuously at the end of the movie.

Ok I saw this movie in the theater and I've seen it many times since. I've been doing a mini marathon of reactions to it today (this is my 4th round) and I just caught what was said just before Ians official introduction to Louise. He said 'Language is the foundation of civilization, it is the first WEAPON drawn in a conflict.' Wow that is blowing my mind right now! All that talk of Weapons at the the end of the movie that was freaking everyone out, we were told at the very beginning what the 'Weapon' actually was! Just goes to show you that no matter how many times you watch or even read a thing there is always something you missed.

Saw this movie in the theater and yeah, was instantly moved into the top with my other all time greats. I like it since (as you noted) it's not the typical "alien sci-fi" movie based on combat, heroic moments, etc. The movie had a great take (imo) on what would actually happen if aliens were to visit. We wouldn't have any idea of how to communicate with each other and would have to figure that out somehow. They would not be violent toward us; if they can reach earth they'd be technologically so much more advanced than us fighting would be pointlessly one-sided. So why would they come, etc etc. Absolutely beautiful score too. Can listen to it at any point in the future if you want to be reminded of the great film.

18:01 About the bird: Ever heard the saying "Canary in a coal mine"? The saying comes from an actual practice of coal miners. They would carry a canary with them down into the mine to serve as a low-tech indicator of the air quality. If the air started becoming unsafe to breathe, it would affect the canary first and the miners would know to leave the mine. It's the same here, they bring the bird as an easy indicator of the safety of the environment.

The story about Kangaroo meaning "I don't understand" is actually an old myth that I was told in school in the 80s and only found out later was false.. long before I saw this movie though.

Arrival is one of my favorite movies. I’m so glad you liked the film. It’s a masterpiece in my opinion. Amy Adams as Louise was a perfect choice as well as Jeremy Renner as Ian. No matter how many times I watch the movie the opening scene with the birth of Hannah makes me cry. Amy and Jeremy also starred in “American Hustle” but they have awesome chemistry in Arrival. Frank you are quickly becoming one of my favorite movie reactors and I love your content. I love to watch reactions to movies I’ve already seen. Keep up the good work!!

The movie title embraces the concept of the theme. Language applicable to present and future simultaneously. THE ARRIVAL, applies to both the aliens arriving on Earth in present and the arrival of the baby, Hannah, in the future.

I interpret the film title as the 'arrival' of the Heptapod Language in Louise's consciousness. The point where Louise enters that reverie and can 'see' the book she will write, 'experience' the classes she will teach, THAT is the moment when she understands the Language in its entirety. She even states that she can read it now. That moment is the moment when the first human being's consciousness is changed enough to move past linear time. The world changes at that moment. War becomes impossible. "Arrival" is not about the child and it's not really about the aliens; it's the arrival of consciousness that no longer is fenced in by time. "There is no 'time'."

Since you mentioned the tendency of sci-fi aliens to be hostile, you might enjoy hearing that early in the genre, in the 1940s C.S. Lewis (friend of J.R.R Tolkien) wrote a sci-fi trilogy to see if he could reverse the premise. As a Christian, he asked what would happen if alien races had not fallen into sin when humanity did but remained innocent--would we destroy them, or they us, or both?

The caged bird is the “canary in the coal mine” miners used to take birds into the mines to detect carbon monoxide in the air. If the birds die the miners need to get out. This crew brought the bird for the same reason, making sure the air in the ship isn’t toxic for oxygen breathing beings.

It basically goes off the concept of time being a flat circle, everything that has happened will happen again and again and again. Once you learn that the past is the future and the future is the past, you can understand all things.

The reason she can read the language that she hasn’t learned, and why her daughter exists in the future but in her memories in the past, it is because the aliens are trying to tell her that time is CIRCULAR, like their language. The general meets her for the first time to show her a private number that she will know in the future, and because she now understands that time is circular, she knows the phone number NOW because she will learn it in the future, and once her future shows the number, she remembers it in the past.

So glad you watched this amazing movie and really loved it. My understanding (and I could be wrong!), but I believe she was having visions of her daughter before the aliens even arrived and she got the linguist job. The aliens said her character had "the weapon" (which is the ability to experience life in a non-linear fashion - like the aliens do). This director, Denis Villeneuve, is now one of my favorite directors. He has also made the Dune movies 1 & 2 - which I absolutely love and are works of art, while still being very entertaining. He's as amazing as Christopher Nolan is. Also, shout out to Amy Adams for her understated performance. I thought she was brilliant.

Happy Saturday, running late today. Great film. To find out shes not having memories/flashbacks, shes seeing visions. To try to think of non-linear, unpredictable time, blows ur mind 🤯🤯. I dont understand if people believe in a supernatural and all powerful God, that they dont believe in the supernatural or aliens. The universe is so vast its kinda arrogant to think we r the only life. I believe in God and everything being possible. I dont believe aliens would come to take resources, dont feel they would need it. A bit smarter than humans, most likely. I also think if they wanted to attack they would have and wouldnt just hide. I love, respect and honor our military men and women, but also know not every person in the military has good intensions, specially in the movies. Some cant except that, but doesnt make u wrong. Another great watch🔥🔥, Thanx so much, take care, Peace

You’re the first bilingual reacter I’ve watched view this movie. "So confused and so intrigued at the same time." You hit the nail on the head with that hammer when you said that! "If you could see your life from start to finish, would you change things?" What a stunning realization statement! We'd be better people if we knew the “start” and the “finish”! We'd act on every moment with precision-and use succinct words because time is of the essence. The depth of writing, ingenious editing, the purposeful imagery using cinematography, and supremely rich dialogue have created one of the most significant revelations in a film over the last few decades. “Who is this child” sent shockwaves through me at first watch because you realize they were flash-forwards. This movie still sticks with me and impacts my perspective since seeing it in the theater in 2016. “Despite knowing the journey” (referring to how complicated life can be) has to be the most thought-provoking contemplation on how we view our own trials and tribulations. I was fortunate to meet the film’s cinematographer Bradford Young in 2022 (look him up-you’ll be impressed with his stellar career). I was able to tell him how much this film and its intelligence and symbolism affected me. Your commentary on this video was amazing to watch because it showed that others received the film in the same way! We’re all in this journey of life together-but on separate paths.
