Movie review Today I'm going to talk you about the movie I saw yesterday: Arrival. SPOILER I really like science fiction movies since I've always been fascinated by everything involving the outer space, beyond the planet we're confined to. This may sound a little foregone: we're often attracted by everything we're not allowed to know, at least not entirely. However, the majority of these movies sells us the same old story: the war of the worlds is always on the agenda and sometimes it seems like special effects are abused so much that the movie plumbs the depths of absurdity. Is this the best we can imagine about the aliens? Arrival is far away from this conventional conception of the aliens: it's a survey between humans and aliens, they desire to know each other and somehow discover themselves able to communicate. It's such a reliable scene! However, something about the movie has left me quite puzzled: the gift that the aliens give to humans: the ability to see into the future, in order to live an experience as fully as we would if we already knew how it ends up. Everyone can acquire this ability by learning their language. I'm not sure how beneficial it is: how does it feel living a life which we know everything about? What about the unpredictability of the future? Maybe we don't need to taste the future to be aware that every precious thing must come to an end and that we should make an effort to live our life more intensively than we usually do.
