Almost everyone I know is learning various foreign languages. Some are needs, some are hobbies. The language a person speaks is classified into a group. People feel mysterious or hostile to groups different from themselves, and are in awe of the language of others. So language is not just language. It is a tool through which to learn about another culture and another way of thinking. It can also be a weapon, a weapon that penetrates the enemy's interior.
The brain hole of the movie is too big. Not only has it created a language with no tense and no sequence, but a circular language with ink "swish". And when you master this alien language, you can see the future at a glance like a "seven-legged barrel" creature, and you can even take things from future memories for use now. Because our mode of consciousness is different from theirs, humans are consequential and heptads are simultaneous. Our experiences are sequential, called cause and effect. Their experiences are simultaneous, perceiving all causes...minimal and greatest purpose.
Dim tones, mysterious background music, perfect loop structure in the story, fragile, sensitive and firm Amy Adams learns languages, sees everything, saves humanity, falls in love with a physicist, decides to have children, embraces her sweetness and beauty A cruel and hopeless future. And it will be played over and over again...
Seemingly romantic, pondering very scary. The act of the seven-legged barrel is more of a ritual than a purpose. The meaning of their existence is not to create the future, but to experience life. That is to say, the lifestyle of the seven-cornered barrel is like constantly acting in the same play. The script is written by someone else, and the plot is fixed, but as actors, they are too deeply involved in the play.
Perhaps the same is true of human destiny, written from the moment of birth. It is only because of this linear way of life of human beings that they are obscured. Therefore, all efforts, opportunities, challenges to fate, chicken soup, and so on are all illusions. We are all moving step by step towards the destiny that we have already arranged, over and over again.
PS About seeing the future, the original explains it like this: their life is another model, another angle: everything happens at the same time. Neither freedom nor bondage. They neither act on their own will, nor are they helpless puppets. The consciousness patterns of the Heptapods are not just that their actions coincide with historical events, but that their motives also coincide with historical purposes. They act to make history, to stage a chronology of historical events.
