Is meeting a blessing? Is it a curse?
It can be seen at the end of the relationship that is made up of meetings. There is no guarantee that meeting will be a blessing. Meeting can be both tragedy and happy ending. This is not the domain of human. What we can do is constantly trying to make the relationship happy while communicating and communicating. If we do not do this, we will have nothing to blame for being irresponsible for meeting. Above all, to ourselves... This will drive us into a pit of endless self-condemnation.
Lewis Banks is a linguist. She had a beloved daughter. She loved her daughter so much, but her daughter was hard to accept her divorce. Why her father had to leave? She wanted to know it, but Lewis could not explain it to her daughter. Suddenly, one day her daughter is dead. This incident is a deep scar on her. Even though she is a linguist, her self-condemnation that her daughter has not convinced is deep inside her. Since then, she has lectured in school and has been living alone.
Then one day, aliens come to Earth. Gigantic space ship in the shape of mocha bread appears in 12 places around the world. People are in shock and confusion. They want to know what the intentions of the aliens are. But they are from the planet of outer space. There is no one on earth who can understand their language. The TF, which is composed of the US military and the intelligence agency, desperately needs the person who will act as a communicator with them.
She is in charge of this role. At first, she was under pressure, but soon she finds herself immersed in this work. This irony that her trauma, which failed to communicate with her daughter, provides the power to continue this work is a very interesting scene in this film. And it is also a part of the message that this film is trying to convey.
She is given a mission to ask aliens "What is your purpose on earth?", and get the answer. She succeeds in presenting a few basic words to aliens and making the words represented in their letters, called "heptapod." Thanks to her accomplishments, communication is radically advanced. The TF come to understand some of the language of them and finally ask what purpose they came to on Earth. But the answer of them puts people of earth in horror at once. Their answer was this.
"Use weapons."
Lewis argues that this can be a misunderstanding, but those who are caught in fear do not listen to her anymore. Misconceptions and antagonisms that lead to many encounters with tragedy drive the global community into confusion. This scene is really meaningful. Everyone, except Lewis and Ian, is obsessed with fear and do not try to confirm alien's true intentions. They give up effort so easily to make happy encounters with aliens who fly away from space and talk with them. People forget so easily. Although they do not know if the end of meeting will be a tragedy or a comedy, but the moment they give up the communication, the encounter immediately leads to tragedy.
Denis Villeneuve's film 'Arrival' is a science fiction film but delivers heavy messages. In this movie, aliens are not tough to invade the earth. They want to meet with human, and talk. In this movie, the setting that the object of meeting is the alien is truly cool. Even if there is no one who knows their language on the planet, it effectively shows that there is a way unless we give up communication.
In my view, this movie is all around beauty. Story and visual beauty, acting of actors, directing of director ... There is nothing which is flawless. There are some people who say that this movie is difficult, but if they take a little careful look, they can understand the message enough. This is the movie that should not be missed. This film will surely come to the rank of master after time.
