ScrubLeague posted:I liked both Arrival and Interstellar quite a bit even if their cold hard science fiction exteriors were betrayed by the Actually It's About Feelings bits. I liked Arrival better in that respect. Interstellar's course-change felt abrupt and unearned, while in Arrival the two complimented each other. Arrival never pretended to *not* be a Feelings-based sci-fi movie.

Mywhatacleanturtle posted:If the Heptapods have non-linear memories, wouldn't they already know the renegade soldiers would plant bomb on their ship? Wouldn't Abbott know he was going to die? Why didn't they stop it? The way I explained it to my mom, which may make sense (I don't know you as well as I know her), was to use the description of their language as an example. When you're "writing a sentence starting from both ends" it isn't about writing one word in response to the previous one, that's simply where the word needs to go. The "circle" of their encounter with Earth had to include Abbot's death, just as the circle of Hannah's life had to include her death to be complete.
