Review of Arrival (2016) by Karissa O — 29 Nov 2017
Arrival, directed by Denis Villeneuve is such a different and interesting film to watch. Reading from a book by Dr. Banks, Ian Donnelly (Jeremy Renner) says, "Language is the foundation of civilization.
It is the glue that holds people together. It is the first weapon drawn in a conflict." Which is true, very true in this movie the meanings of the languages that which Dr. Banks reveals them is such a beautiful thing to watch.
In the beginning it is very difficult to understand what is going on, but the details and scenes that are shown to help you get a better understanding of why this is happening is very touching to the heart.
It amazes me the abilities that Dr. Louise Banks (Amy Adams) has in the film and her discovery of why this is all happening across the world. She did a very risky thing to reveal the reason behind their arrival.
And she opposes one question that really makes you think, "If you could see your whole life from start to finish, would you change things?" Overall, I am amazed by the way in which this film was portrayed and I would definitely recommend this to anyone I know because it make you think a lot about your life.
