Losing a child is the worst agony you can endure without dying yourself. I consider myself fortunate in the sense that my wife and I managed to stay together through our suffering despite trying to tear each other apart in our grief. Now we have two beautiful sons who will always have a baby big sister that watches over them from wherever she might be now. This movie caught us off guard when we went to see it and almost had to leave but we stuck it out and ended up really liking it. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do. Cheers :)

[@paulcurlin2789]

Well said. I lost my youngest daughter two years ago. This movie, though I dearly love it, breaks me every time. To know that you will lose your child at a young age and decide that that love is well worth the pain . . . wow 😞 Beautiful but heart rending.

[@arkikali5632]

I'm so sorry for your loss. Blessings to you and your family. Same to you, Paul.

my wife and i have lost two. i have the same reaction to this movie.

[@DESTRUCTIONKATCHUP]

Sorry. I’ve never lost a child but it’s my greatest fear and I don’t think it’s there’s words good enough to say to someone who has but sorry is all we have. I’ve tried to mentally prepare myself (as much as I can) just in case I lose one but I know nothing will help much. But one thing I’ll try to remember is that beginning and ends don’t matter as much as what happens in between. All things come and go but the time we get is more important than the time we don’t get. And I can only hope that if I do lose a child, one day I’ll rest in the joy of the memories of the time I had with them more than I mourn them and I’d never regret having them. I believe the decision to have her baby in spite of knowing she’d lose her to cancer was made for the same reason. And I’d do the same. I hope you all feel that way too.

The way Louise convinces General Shang to stop the attack was by telling him what his wife's dying words were and thus proving to him that the aliens' language has taught her how to time-travel. Her words were: "In war there are no winners, only widows."

Abbot and Costello were a great comedy team from the 40's and 50's they made lots of movies and tv shows as well as live performances. Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein is a good movie, but check out their most famous routine "Who's On First."

[@Malfehzan]

Routine which, of course, is the reason for the heptapods being nicknamed after them. Communication failure because of language limitations.

[@retronaut8864]

I see a commenter suggesting that she knew the other linguist would confuse the Sanskrit word for war, but that's not what was going on here. Her point was that the word for war literally means a "desire for more cows," it was a warning that someone who doesn't truly understand a language before communicating could start a war in their ignorance, something many other nations nearly did, but it was also an early look at the way language alters perception, which is what this entire film was really about. And the frame for that concept was a future mother having her own perception of time altered through the learning of an alien language, causing her to slowly begin to think like they do, and then slowly accepting that death and loss would come along with her greatest joys and making the decision to take that leap anyway, something her future husband would not be able to understand, and it would eventually drive them apart, his heart undoubtedly broken by the loss. We even see her perceive time at the end in such a non linear way, she's flooded with memories of his love with their first embrace. I can appreciate that you got some neat ideas about other alien stories, but Arrival really isn't about aliens. It's exploring the question "is the joy of life ultimately worth the pain that it brings?" It's exploring the idea that the language we use shapes our way of thinking, as well as our perception. It's a far more fascinating and emotionally riveting science fiction story than any straight forward first contact film. I personally found the emotional impact of the ending haunting and unforgettable. One of my top 5 science fiction films for sure.

[@markmoore7620]

As an educator and a visual learner, I love how this film really breaks down the basic blocks of language and communication and how that shapes our concept of - and our relationship to - time. The music is God tier and the director, Denis Villlenueve, is one of my favorites. He directed Sicario and the new Dune films. Arrival is such an intellectually stimulating film for me it's become an instant rewatchable - even though it's also heartbreaking ❤

Could you be with and love someone who you knew was going to die an early death? Would you want to go back in time and live your life again, knowing that your child would die early? Would the joy of being with that loved one be so great that you would do it all over again? Just like in the film "Interstellar", "Arrival" challenges us to reflect on what is most important in our lives. Ourselves? Our loved ones? All of Humanity?

[@trhansen3244]

Interstellar had some interesting challenges. Arrival is an insipid mess.

[@datdudeinred]

I just don't understand someone who is so educated can abandon his child & wife? Like wtf? Even if she didn't tell you early enough that's because she was special 1 in a billion literally. It's not like she cheated on him or anything. It's literally just a lie to not hurt him. & maybe a little selfish as she might have wanted the girl & she thought if she tells him she is not gonna get the girl ever. & he might have thought that she basically used him but comon it's your child. I don't support leaving your child & wife just because of that. Arrival & the s1e3 of black mirror also is fascinating & kinda similar to this.

Ian was the one proposing to have a child and of course, Louis who have seen the life she will have with Hannah accepted it. She did eventually tell Ian the truth. In this we can see the duality of the choice we were presented: "If you know what will happen in the future, would you change things?" Louis chose to embrace whatever happens and enjoy every moment of it while Ian would choose not to experience all the good things in favour of avoiding the tragic event.

[@johncourtright1632]

​@@solongdentahlplaan7975 What an interesting take on Louise's decision. I don't know how long Hannah lived but, for sake of argument, let's say 15 years. If you had a rare terminal disease and someone gave you the choice to either live a life with 10 good and healthy years or choose to never have been born to avoid a painful death, which would you choose? Just because Hannah's life was short by our normal standards of longevity, doesn't mean it wasn't full of purpose and happiness. Was Louise's decision the selfish one you describe or a truly courageous one? Perhaps Louise allowed herself to feel the heartbreak of losing her daughter so that Hannah would have the chance to experience the joy of life. As a dad, that's how I would feel. Thousands of kids suffer from painful life-threatening diseases. Would it be better if none of them had ever been born in order to avoid that suffering? Do you think they themselves would choose that? There are certainly differing viewpoints on this issue.

[@solongdentahlplaan7975]

@johncourtright1632 That's alot, bro. I'ma just go off the movie, which is just a movie. Imagine being Hannah, a sweet little girl being loved by your mother. You experience great things like the world and art even. You get older and formulate your own future, your dreams: the perfect career and perhaps the perfect partner. But then you get sick even before you go on your first date, very sick. You're told that you're going to die. All those dreams and aspirations were just false motivation, a lie. And your dear mother KNEW the whole time, but let you believe the lies to keep you happy. It's a farcry from real life. I'm just talking about the movie. Screw Louise.

[@burtman.]

@@solongdentahlplaan7975 But imo @John Courtright is just "going off the movie" too and I think he absolutely nails it. Like John alluded contrasting views are still valid and they have to be because we each come with our own perspective and meanings to begin with so for sure we can get something different out of it. To imply your reading is more correct because you're " just talking about the movie" I don't accept. I saw the exact same movie too and yeah I can see both sides but its courage and love that I takeaway from Louise's decision not selfishness and insecurity. You seem to be focused on the loss but Hannah doesn't experience that. It's Louise who must carry the knowing and still give her daughter the experience of a beautiful life, albeit short. But how amazing that Louise could give her that while holding it throughout, then face the pain and and also carry on with the grief when she's gone.

[@LaxJedi]

This is one rare example of a type of movie that just shouldn’t be done by reactors. I’ve tried watching several and most spend a lot of their time going between a nonstop combination of verbal head scratching, wild guesses, and thoughtful hypotheses (and then are all self congratulatory when one of those latter two is eventually correct). No matter what any of these reactors say to dispute it, this approach puts them in a situation where they miss out on a lot of the nuances, dialogues, music, sound cues, etc. Fortunately this reactor is also quite intelligent, so tries her best to maintain her lines of thinking and maintain some limitations on the distractions. Unfortunately a proper reaction to something like this requires a lot of wisdom and experience to know when less is more so that presents another problem; if done in a manner that avoids the above pitfalls, it would indeed end up containing a fair amount of “hmm”/“wow”/“WTF is going on” for 45+ minutes, or be a harshly edited 20 minute boring version where all the proper context is completely missed. Valiant effort here but still has far too much monologuing for my tastes. Hopefully she understands this is just meant to be constructive criticism and she continues to refine and perfect her craft as she continues with this journey.

So I’ve only just recently come across Biss and her channels. She seems ferociously smart and has the best laugh on the whole internet. One thing that is amazing is doing all these reactions in a second language, even though she is fluent (hey, she dreams in English!) that has got to be difficult. Especially when the movie she has been tasked to watch is one so complex and nuanced, where the subtleties of understanding and communication are at the very core of the movie. Imagine understanding it well enough (not in your mother tongue), and then communicating thoughts, guesses, interpretations, criticisms and flights of fancy (also not in your mother tongue) and being able to entertain the internet masses, and the multitudes contained therein. So it took Biss a little longer to grasp the significance of “who is that child?” than some others - forgivable, for the reasons described above, and it didn’t break her heart the way it broke mine. She did get there in the end, and got the pain of a parent losing a child at the beginning, but perhaps some of the emotional punch glanced off her. She is an agent of chaos, after all, hence for her a movie about unity, understanding, grief and peace became the potential starting point for a competitive bloodbath of spectacular kills - but diff’rent strokes for diff’rent folks. Still an excellent reactor. Bravo, Biss.

[@BubblyRainbows]

It could also be a matter of already knowing that made the ending less emotionally impactful to her than it was to some. That's how it was for me the first time I saw this movie. I teared up at the beginning, when it was first showing Hannah's birth, snippets of her life, and her death. The tragedy of it hit me in the feels. But at the end, I didn't get that emotional hit because I already knew it would happen. At the end, I thought the added context of knowing how she experiences time made it beautiful that even knowing the outcome, Hannah was special enough to her that she was willing to do it all again, but I was smiling at the end, not crying. If that makes sense?

[@robdario661]

[@3dbadboy1]

The "desire for more cows" part was funny because she was trying to discredit one of her competing language professors that the military was considering.

Regarding the beginning of the film, it might be a good idea to halt arms sales during such a crisis for reasons other than military. In 1938, a radio broadcast of H.G. Wells' _"The War of the Worlds"_ (narrated by Orson Welles) sparked panic across the US when people thought that the radio play was a real news broadcast. The ensuing panic led to accidents, and the sight of smoke from such incidents in the distance led some to believe that the cause was marauding Martians. Law enforcement even had to disarm people about to kill their own families rather than let them be captured by the aliens. Thanks for reacting to what instantly became one of my favourite films!

For the Heptapods timeline isn't a line, they experience all the moments as present, thus - no flashbacks, no memories, no premonitions, no predictions. This is no time circle either. Whole plot is based on Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, that language determines way of perceiving reality. That's why Louise is experiencing those strange "future flashbacks" when learning Heptapods language. She doesn't need to write down phone number of Chinese general, because she's living the moment of meeting with him and being at the base and talking to her daughter at the same time. No faulty memories ;) The question is - are the Heptapods lives predetermined? There is a problem with destiny and free will; if you know all your deeds since the start of your existence, can you do something in a different way? Do Heptapods start their existence at all? We know they can be "in dying process"... Maybe that's why they need/needed our help in 3000 years? Help of the race, that perceives time differently? That's why it's a great sci-fi. Not because of godlike scenography. It's makes us question the reality.

Keep on being a smart, perceptive, curious, and enthusiastic reactor. Can't please everybody. My humble recommendation based on liking this specific movie is Contact(1997).

[@user-jm4nh4by2c]

Ignore the stupid people. They’re intimidated that they’re not smart enough to figure it out the first time. I enjoyed your reaction. Great minds think alike.

[@hifive7366]

I wonder if she actually understood the plot? I mean, in summary: the language defines the way you think and because the language the aliens brought as a gift is "non-linear" (it doesn't have a begining or an ending, that explains the circular "words") it unlocks in the human brain the hability to see the future once you learn it, thus the perception of time becomes a circle rather than a line and the future becomes a memory.

[@jaimecruz5199]

" It was meeting you ", maybe you have the ability to see the future and these glimpses are just the beginning Madalina. If that were the case, I think you are a brave woman and that you would demonstrate it like the character in the movie.

[@maurelius22]

I feel a bit like they applied the Nordic mythology way of thinking; time is a wheel. They explain it pretty well in the last two God of War games. I love this movie, the acting was great, the pacing was amazing. Love the reaction too, keep up the good work!

[@rhonafenwick5643]

The idea of time as cyclic is a very common one worldwide. Ancient Maya cosmology views time the same way.

[@epicycles700]

One of my favorite films of the past several years. Intelligent, insightful, imaginative. And poignant.

[@trhansen3244]

Please tell me you are joking.

[@orbislame]

Top 5 movie for me

[@nitelite78]

Me too. Yet only 7.9 on imdb. Underrated. It's definitely on par with Interstellar.

[@BissFlix]

@@nitelite78 7.9 ??? Thats sad

[@sagan1976]

Computer and cellphone icons, traffic signs, they're semasiographic. Their meaning is universal, regardless of the word for their function in one's language. A Recycle Bin is recognizable on a computer screen, doesn't matter which language the SO is. You know what it is.

[@lethaldose2000]

Hey Bisscute, the film is showing you future events but your mind doesn't know that. So the only way for you brain to comprehend what is going on is to interpret the unrelated images as being from the past. Which is what we typically understand when watching a movie. That's what makes "Arrival' so original it uses our own brain to trick us and create confusion so the ahhh moment was always in our face never hidden, But it happens way before we are able to comprehand it. GEnius concept for sure.

[@markspencer8790]

I very much respect that you go into these films ‘blind’😁. Thank you for the reaction and please consider watching Atonement from 2007. It is an extraordinarily beautiful film and I’m sure you would enjoy it. Love and Hugs from Nova Scotia🤗

[@krisaaron8180]

I loved the insights into languages and how they wire (or rewire) our brain. The Sanskrit word for war means "a desire for more cows". A nation, probably not a democracy, declares war to get more stuff, which is very unlike our modern notions of why wars should be fought. They also would have not been on board with Louise saying in war there are no winners, only widows. This presupposes that everyone is equally valuable, and their losses also. That Sanskrit ruler would have said there are indeed winners: look at all the cows I have obtained, which was the desired objective. This presupposes that he and his fellow elites are of importance, and the rest not so much. It's fascinating to go down this particular rabbit hole.

[@puremachinery]

The disease that Louise tells Ian about that makes him leave is the disease their daughter will get one day -- she tells him that their daughter will get sick and die. Ian can't take it and that's why he never looks at his daughter the same way again. And he blames Louise for the pain, because *she knew before they got pregnant* and if he had known before having a baby he wouldn't have done it. But Louise thinks it's worth it to have Hannah for the short time she can, so she does it anyway. Such a sad and beautiful story.

[@brismithejedi]

Thanks for the great reaction. I hope you keep enjoying movies the way that you enjoy movies. It's so annoying when people tell you that you're doing it wrong. Anyway, it's cool that you figured it out quickly. I also like movies like this that make you use your brain. This movie was so much better than I thought it was when it was in theaters. I wish I would have watched it then.

[@thomask8345]

I have seen the movie a couple of times, and I have seen half a dozen or so reactions here on KZbin. And just now, the meaning of one of the sentences of the heptapods clicked: "There is no time."

[@BissFlix]

Thanks for watching ❤️

[@philipturner9087]

The whole movie is mind blowing. Yet so very, very good.

[@RobertH-ol6mw]

I love when you figure out movies, it's one reason you're a great reactor😇

[@sem1conscious]

It's a good message that we need to communicate better before jumping to aggressive conclusions. We do revert to animals when we stop using our brains. Imagine what they could do if they have control over gravity.

[@vig221]

I don't understand why people would be mad about you trying to understand the movie while watching it. That's what everybody with a functioning brain does while watching movies. That's what movies are, in part, made for! Especially movies like this one. It's for us to THINK! Great reaction. ❤

[@paulelroy6650]

theres thinking about what is happening then theres not really paying much attention because you are ignoring important parts

[@Rob_Schofield]

Hello so i failed to mention in the patreon comments, the music. In particular the song at the beginning and end of the movie. It is by artist Max Richter and is called "on the nature of daylight". A very beautiful and emotionally triggering song. It has been used in other movies and TV shows, but it hits so perfectly here in this movie. It really really gets me everytime i watch this film. TY TY Bissie. You are doing amazing work here.

[@Rob_Schofield]

[@dre3k78]

Ian left Louise because she ended up telling Ian that Hannah was going to die early in life to cancer and she knew this prior to them having her and never told him in advance. I'm guessing she had to have her regardless in order to have the break through to understanding the alien language she obtained in the past. I guess it was just too much for Ian to bare....

[@kirkmatsuyama6176]

I love this movie! The first time I watched the movie I was expecting some action movie, so at the conclusion, I did not know how I felt about this movie. I have since watched this movie a couple more times and I just love it. I bought the cd soundtrack too. Your reaction was beautiful. You can tell how into the story you were as it unfolded. 😊

[@mikebrown7799]

Hi Miss Biss!🙂I had to watch a few comedies before this, as this is pretty deep.😉SSBI stands for Single Scope Background Investigation. It is is a type of United States security clearance investigation involving background checks like speaking to past friends, employers, and co-workers. Yes you are correct, it is the canary in a coal mine scenerio, to detect that the atmosphere remains safe. The alien language once understood lets you see the future, like Louise does. She now knows she has a daughter that will die from an illness, and has the choice to give birth to her or not. She decides to have the child, but does not tell the father until years later that their child will die, because she feared he would not want the child in the first place, knowing the pain of losing her to illness. Great reactions to the very imaginative film Arrival, Miss Bisscute!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@De5O54]

Good film. Great reaction. I will need to watch this again.

[@joeadamczak]

The Sanskrit word for "war" and it's translation; A desire for more cows.

[@michaelengelby732]

My mom enjoys movies the same as you. Figuring it out as the plot advances. She finds it satisfying. ❤ I enjoy movies differently where I allow the plot to wash over me and be surprised. I find enjoyment in exploring the permutations of the plot after it is over. ❤ I think there is room for both. 😊😊😊😊

[@fresetu]

In the event that an alien civilization manages to get to Earth, their technology will be so far beyond that of any nation, that the alien's technology will probably border on magical.

[@IntenseSarcasm]

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

[@CandC68]

So, Biss... Did you get the babies' name, Hannah? Same forward as backward, like time, for the Heptapods.

[@arraymac227]

I had _Slaughterhouse Five_ flashbacks from this film.

[@warowords]

I suggest to any one who loves this movie to read the short story by Ted Chiang titled " The Story of your Life." The story obviously is different than the movie but goes into greater detail. Ted Chiang has two books of short stories. The Story of Your Life and Others" and "Exhalation"

[@suedonym8467]

The way they pronounced "tinnitus" in the movie (as though the word ended with "-itis") is fairly common, but the "correct" English pronunciation is more similar to yours.

[@chadnine3432]

I'm just impressed you could say Villeneuve so easily. :D

[@wiseoldman53]

You might want to watch 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' (1977), directed by Steven Spielberg. It has a similar plot to it and is considered a classic science fiction movie based on real U.F.O./alien observations/interactions by Dr. J. Allen Hynek (who also makes a brief cameo in the movie). And btw, I really like your reactions! 😉
