Put aside science fiction and face the heart

After writing a short review, I still want to write a movie review.
Let me ask you a few questions:
Knowing that your lover will leave, will you still choose to stay together without hesitation? Knowing that the child will die from a congenital disease, would you still choose to have her? Do you know everything that will happen in the future and want to change it in the past?
There is a saying that when you stand at the highest point of your life and look back on the past, every small decision you make will cause upheaval in the future, but for you at the time, it was just the most ordinary day.
Life is not like a monopoly. If we go bankrupt, we can have another round. We cannot foresee the future and we will only have one life. The heroine finally looked at her future husband with such brave and firm eyes.
I foresee all the grief, and go with joy.
Even though I knew I was destined to separate, I chose to embrace this moment.
It really fits my values.
Life and death are determined by love and hate.
Enjoy the present and strive to face the future.

    I don't know if it is the communication that human beings have imagined, or whether this is just the imagination of Lao Mei after reading Chinese freehand calligraphy. Like the last call, you can't even speak a quarter of human language, and you say it is a linguist.

    Villeneuve is so restrained, deep and introverted. The look and feel is like when we were young when we entered an unknown cave curiously, with the head and the tail forming a closed ring. In the whole story, science fiction is only the outer shell, and mother-daughter emotions are the core of true philosophy. The director simply laid out the emotional wedge from the beginning, and then went directly to the story, simply breaking the timeline and leaving room for imagination. 4

Arrival quotes

  • Louise Banks: Trust me, you can, uh, understand communication and still end up single.

  • Louise Banks: I forgot how good it felt to be held by you.
