She should have won an Oscar for this film. In fact, instead of awarding her for it, the idiots in the Academy should have gotten on their knees and begged her to take it.
Agreed 100%. One of the most important films of this millennium. Typical Hollywood... it's get a Best Picture, Director, Cinematography, and Screenplay noms... and skips the single reason any of us are even talking about the film. Just like A Beautiful Mind. Just to be clear -- Emma Stone won that year for La La Land. LOL... a film NO-ONE will watch again. Remember this was the "Black" Oscars with Moonlight winning. Another film NO-ONE will watch again. Like Crash.
Best Sci-Fi since 2001. Don't insult it by asking for it to be awarded with a ridiculous and highly corrupt award from the "Academy" (which is not really an academy...)!
I'm somehow glad to learn that you resonated, too. After watching the movie, I went to the original story. But I didn't find it as powerful as the script the man with glasses put together.
An absolute masterpiece of a movie....denis villenuve has an absolute fantastic movie career and I'm a huge fan of his work. Sicario Prisoners Arrival Blade runner 2049 Dunne Keep em coming denis
I loved Arrival so much but I have only seen it once. I own it and I've picked it up a couple times and thought about rewatching it but I'm worried it won't be as good. I'm wrong, right?
Why do producers always come off as such tools. For creatives it must be extremely hard to deal with the money people in Hollywood. Being calm and keeping your cards VERY close to your chest must be the number one talent of actors, writers and directors.
I think what threw me was that we skip around through time _before_ she meets the aliens, but they establish that it isn't til her mind is altered by the learning of the language that she can experience time in a non-linear fashion. Is it just some time-related paradox shit that I'm not getting, or just a stylistic choice whereby only the audience can see into the future at that moment, like a classic flash-forward? I've only seen it once, but the shift, if there is any, between when we as the audience are experiencing non-linear storytelling and when the character is experiencing non-linearity is not made clear. In any case, it's my favourite movie of the year.
She is experiencing time in a non linear fashion. What that means is that she is living in the past, the present and the future, having all experience combined into one. It is as if time stops being a "line" and instead becomes a dot. It's a mindfuck of epic proportions and our brains aren't wired to be even near to comprehending how that would feel like.
@@CosminCRT So what's the difference between Liberty & Freedom ? Coz in French there is no word for Freedom. You should have said Liberty in French is Liberté.
@@cherryblack420 The question is why is there 2 words in English for Freedom while in French there is only 1 while French is a much stronger language than English. Because variations on something that should not have variations mess up with people and make them controllable. That's how original meanings of words get lost. Freedom is linked to truth. While Liberty is linked to Anarchy and Chaos, it's following your own desires, in other words following and being a slave to your own earthly desires. That's why Liberals are Gays and feminists and lefties... They are not Freedom fighters... Because they know their cause is week as heck ! It's politician manipulation done by the constructors of that languages from long before we were born. Freedom & Liberty obviously don't share the same root of a word. Freedom is Following and being a slave to the only 1 thing that truly deserves to be followed and being a slave to. God. That's why the Truth shall set you free. Not Set you liberal or set you to liberty. The corrupt and misleading governments, organizations & companies are the ones who want to set you to false beliefs, dreams and set you up to liberty. Which actually makes you more and more of a slave consumer to their system without you realizing it. If liberty and freedom were the same, Then why don't we ever hear people say Liberty of religion ? or Liberty of speech ? or liberty of abortion ? or liberty of whatever >? it's because this division in the very word is what's feeding them controllers, they know just exactly how to satisfy the beasts that are inside the ones that are like them.
Rewatch after a few years. It's quite literally the only film dealing with the ACTUAL problem of contact with other intelligent life: communication. You just have to understand a bit of linguistics or philosophy of language, otherwise it won't make sense to you
I dont know how anyone can have this opinion unless they are like 17 years old and could not keep up with the movie. You dont have to like it. But you do have to respect how impressive it is. That's not something you can have a subjective opinion on

For sure. I think it is an important film. History will give her and the film the credit they deserve though.
I cannot convey how much I love this comment.

Nobody cares
The movie was just Mindblowing. Very Intelligent and so moving.
This story affected me more than anything I have read in 7 decades. It is beautiful.
I'm somehow glad to learn that you resonated, too. After watching the movie, I went to the original story. But I didn't find it as powerful as the script the man with glasses put together.
What a career since Catch Me if you can for Amy Adams!!!
Wonderful actress
Oh, that's right, that was her.
Junebug came before Catch Me if u Can, no?
Dennis Villeneuve is the most groundbreaking director in modern cinema.
She did an excellent job on that movie.
I think this is one of the greatest sci'fis of all time
LOL I will forever love Amy's Deni accent xD
arrival is the kind of film that is so powerful it could make you cry every time you watch it. not saying I do, no way, not me no no no.
I was too stupid to understand it - literally didn’t get the twist at the end heh
On the nature of daylight + an emotional scene = the one which hits deep
I watch it if I need to cry. if I'm feeling a little bottled I just put on Arrival and feel some feelings.
If you guys loved Arrival, watch Enemy by Denis Villeneuve. One of my favorites.
That film is insaane. I loved it
Prisoners is the best imo
I agree. They are both amazing movies. He is probably my favorite living director together with David Lynch
Amy is right, that movie is a eye opener! Awesome movie guys
This film should have won best picture
Movies don't need awards. The Oscar is a shit award from a self-proclaimed Academy - not really an academy!
she's so beautiful ❤
shes a babe
A masterpiece!
Mind-bending plot
she is a fkn babe
loved the film
I love when she imitates people :D
Watching it tomorrow!!
Damn that producer reminds me of Petyr Baelish
An absolute masterpiece of a movie....denis villenuve has an absolute fantastic movie career and I'm a huge fan of his work.
Sicario
Prisoners
Arrival
Blade runner 2049
Dunne
Keep em coming denis
The movie was amazing, but that Mandarin part...as a native Mandarin speaker, let's just say I was glad they had subtitles...
Awesome movie, loved it! I still want to know what she says in mandaran.
Something along the lines of, "War creates no winners, only widows."
"In war, there are no winners, only widows"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrival_(film)#Linguistics
"but now I'm not so sure I believe in beginnings and endings." 😭😭😭
I loved Arrival so much but I have only seen it once. I own it and I've picked it up a couple times and thought about rewatching it but I'm worried it won't be as good. I'm wrong, right?
Watch it with someone else who hasn’t seen it… that’s what I’ve done a few times and it makes the experience better.
It gets better on a rewatch
Don't care what the Hollywood producer guy says. Let the artists talk.
what does denis like in actors? what are the qualities? full of emotion?
Ted Chiang is a genius
4:23 Everyone there got Dennis meant to say Rorschach...
baby
What is the book the story is based on.
The Story of Your Life by Ted Chang
Why do producers always come off as such tools. For creatives it must be extremely hard to deal with the money people in Hollywood. Being calm and keeping your cards VERY close to your chest must be the number one talent of actors, writers and directors.
unfortunately I didn't understand the end of the film

Language is messy !? LOL REAL-LY !!! 👏 is light a Particle or a wave ? LOL 👏 back to square 1
Language is messy !? LOL REAL-LY !!! 👏 what's the difference between Liberty & Freedom ? & why is it called the statue of Liberty & not Freedom ?
It was gifted by the french to usa. Freedom in french is liberte. Statue de la Liberte - Statue of Liberty.
