Even if I know the story of my life, I don't regret the grandpa who doesn't want to change
After watching Arrival, I came home and just asked my grandfather, "If you knew how your life was spent when you were in your twenties, would you want to change it?"
Grandpa said, "Change what? Can't change"
I explained, "For example, you are eighty now, but when you were young, you knew who to marry and have a few children, and now you know that you will sit and watch TV. Would you want to change? Get married or not have so many children."
Grandpa said, "When I was young,...

Ted Jiang wanted to hit people
I originally gave it to three stars, but when I came out, I heard a man in the same elevator say to the woman, "It's the aliens who gave the heroine the ability to predict the time."
Because the original work is very unsuitable for adaptation, I have adjusted my expectations before watching it. If the movie can meet the minimum expectations - as long as it can focus on the "stalk" that makes it the core of the original work, it can be called a masterpiece, even if it is cut for the...

A little insight from the second brush "Arrival"
These few days in Pattaya are particularly idle. After waking up every day, I go for a swim, and then I go back to the hotel room, facing the sea, the spring flowers are blooming, reading and writing, drinking tea in a daze. By the way, I also reviewed a few favorite movies, so I brushed "Arrival" for the second time.
Arrival is the most captivating movie I've seen in nearly a year. Missed the big screen during the release period (God knows what I was busy with at that time), otherwise...

Arrival - Camus in the Name of Structuralism
Those traditional stories of good and evil always follow this pattern: the world is beautiful, evil invades, heroes fight, eventually defeat evil, and the world is beautiful again, as those critics say, essentially this is a conservative narrative because it always tends to keep the world as it is - Ted Jiang
Years from now, academia and the...

The special feature of "Arrival" is not this question, "If you knew your whole life, from birth to death, at a glance, would you try to change it?"
It is the attitude towards asking questions: no regrets.
In the theme of time travel, we see too much regret. People try to change the past and influence the future through time travel and external science fiction power.
But "Arrival" is a completely different logic.
I already knew everything about the future, including my...

Fascinating fragments of time and courage to choose again, miracles are forgiveness and acceptance. It was frightening, and when it was about to end, I cried like never before, and the tears were raining calmly. God knows your sin and is merciful, and you feel wronged but greatly encouraged. It may be the saddest and most fulfilling time I have cried while watching the movie over the years. Maybe there will be echoes and loopbacks with "People with No Surname". Most looking forward to this...

Finally saw "Arrival". This is the science fiction I love. There is actually a sci-fi movie that describes "words and sentences, streams, lakes, seas and sky", which is amazing. Seeing Chu Ci of Shao Si Ming, a hundred years of loneliness, the shadow of the Paz sun stone, and Chinese metaphysics, it triggered endless literary thoughts. At the moment, I don't know what movies are still in theaters, and I don't want to...

The question is a bit imaginary: is it because the starting point produces the result, or because the result corresponding to the starting point needs to be realized through the path? The format of the film itself is not large, but it is very poetic and Zen. Villeneuve has a very good atmosphere, and the film is handled solidly and restrained, and the more you think about it, the more flavorful #Logic is something that we have taken for granted for a long time, but may not always be reliable...

Time is a non-linear development. Both mathematics and language are logic. Every decision is a life to...

Louise Banks: If you could see your whole life from start to finish, would you change things?
Ian Donnelly: Maybe I'd say what I felt more often. I-I don't know.
Louise Banks: Who is this child?
Louise Banks: [narrating] Memory is a strange thing.
