In the novel, the author's brushstrokes are plain but full of power. In the movie, this power is manifested to the utmost. A plot not included in the novel is added to the film: Louise knows that combining with Ian will give birth to a daughter who will die of a rare disease at a young age, so her husband is unknown, but she is known. The husband chose to divorce and was very angry with Louise. He changed his eyes on his daughter. The subtext is that you know that the union of you and me is such a tragic ending. Why do you want it to happen? From the perspective of human thinking, Louise is selfish, but from the perspective of heptapod, Louise is brave.
The husband’s choice is understandable. He is a human mind and lives with someone who already knows the future, but he doesn’t know it. Isn’t it terrifying? He knew the future fate of his daughter, and he flinched. If it was known that his daughter would die at the age of twenty-four, he fell into the endless love of the father. After the daughter dies, there will be endless pain for him, but if the daughter is four years old If he chooses to leave, his pain may not be so much.

As human beings, after all, we live in a long river of linear time, but it is a kind of cognition with humans. How does the second cognitive ability with completely different abilities change us?
A very interesting setting in the movie is that China actually released the information, and the news is reporting that the intelligence obtained by China is: use weapon, while the United States is the one that blocked the information (the offer weapons they obtained never told others Countries), and the United States has been paying attention to China's actions from beginning to end. Who is not cooperating and who is not communicating? It's an American! Our country has not only deciphered the information, but also made a decision, and if according to my insights, my general would have done a perfect hypothesis test in the case of non-cooperation of various countries, so as to hide his merits and fame! The last thing that changed the situation was Louise and General Shang. The two of them really cherished each other at the final reception! But Tuomeng is a bit blind...
