ARRIVAL Breakdown | Ending Explained, Easter Eggs, Hidden Details & Things You Missed. After picking up the 4k blu ray and revisiting Arrival for this breakdown, I found a lot of incredible details and hidden things in it that seeped into my subconscious on a first watch, and this really elevated the movie far beyond the appreciation that I had for it originally. In this video, we dive into how Scorsese has crafted a masterpiece here, and we're going to be breaking down why the film is so haunting. We'll of course also be talking about the ending and all of the clues that build towards it, so if you still haven't seen it where have you been, lets get into it!

Alright so Arrival is one those movies that I think will stick with people long after they watch it. Dealing in hard science concepts this altered the landscape of alien movies much in the same way that Close Encounters of the Third Kind did. Whereas in the past we'd had films about Aliens attacking Earth and blowing up the White House, here Arrival does things differently to tell a human story about life, love and loss.
Throughout this video we're gonna be breaking the entire movie, it's ending and also talking about the hidden details and things you missed in it.Before touching on the movie though I feel we have to talk about the short story that it's based on.
Titled Story Of Your Life this work by Ted Chiang deals with inevitability set to the backdrop of theoretical physics. Ted went to see the play Time Flies When You're Alive and this centers around a man having to deal with the notion that his wife is dying of breast cancer. At this point Ted came up with the idea to tell a story about a mother who had a daughter well aware that that daughter was going to die.
Now the short story is roughly 50 pages long and its packed with diagrams of sun beams and how light travels. It's very complicated and indepth discussing how predestination works within ideas of free will.
In the story theres a line that discusses how a ray of light has to know where it will end up at so that it can choose the point in which it fires off from. There's very much this idea in space travel that you choose the destination and then travel towards it and thus all that's in between is already pre-determined and unchangeable. This is something that the film deals with too and in it we follow Linguist Dr. Louise Banks as she put in charge of attempting to communicate with aliens known as hetapods.

The movie makes it very clear that we couldn't figure out why the aliens chose those locations to land, pointing out that the best correlation we found was that they were where a song was a hit in the 80s. I argue that's because we were looking for correlations in the past. For all we know, those locations are important in the future.

They choose those locations primarily bec their goal is to unite us humans more than anything else. And of course to understand about time and language. I bet we are not the only planet they visited in. Knowing that their arrival would probably mean their dimish, their primarily goal is to seek a united force to help them about a threat in the future. Bec prob the only way we can all defeat those forces is to be one inspite of our differences.

Almost like you wake up crying from a dream
the best part of the film as a piece of art, and possibly its best easter egg, is that the film becomes an example of its own message allowing the viewer to experience the story point from Dr Bank's perspective twice. First watch through you are the version of her prior to understanding, watching through the film linearly putting everything together slowly from a point of ignorance. When you rewatch it knowing the outcome, you recognize the flashbacks as non-linear and view the story from the perspective of an understanding Banks thus allowing you to reflect and appreciate the story as a whole while reliving the scenes chronologically. Amazing piece of art.

I’ll never forget seeing this movie in theaters. I was visiting a lifelong friend, and we randomly decided we could go see a movie. We checked what was on and realized Arrival had its final show that night, 11pm. We ran so we could make it. There was nobody else in this theater. Needless to say this was quite the experience. We both stayed in our for like an hour discussing the plot, the message, and how we felt about it all

yeah, i've always thought that time was deterministic, but we have free will between point a & b
What I love about this movie is how it forces the viewer to really think about what we just saw. I still remember wondering for weeks after I first saw it, because I didnt yet fully grasp the concept of non-linear time. Now, its so fascinating to me that something like time, that many people see as something that unites us and doesnt differentiate, can be viewed so drastically different. This is the entire purpose of science-fiction media, and I love it!
We knew we wouldn’t have our daughter forever,not at first but as time went by,she actually came to that realization first because she felt her body wearing out from all her medical woes. So we made sure to say what we wanted to say, do what she wanted to accomplish, not worry about stupid stuff, always said I love you, valued people, not things, etc. Laura also made sure we all knew what she wanted done after death, that is donate organs and then send her body to be studied by a research lab. Even knowing my continuing gut-wrenching pain I wouldn’t have traded a single day with her. 💕🐝💕

Not sure if you mentioned this but in the helicopter when Ian reads the forward from her book it says something like ‘language is the first weapon used in conflict’ then obviously later in the movie they say ‘use weapon’
I love this films approach to friendly aliens. While our first encounter with aliens (if there ever is one) could result in destruction, I don't think that's the only alien story to tell. Aliens could not only be friendly, they could provide science and technology we don't have. If I traveled to an alien planet, that is the kind of thing I'd want to provide for them so it's interesting to see a movie where they kind of behave that way

A lot of real life UFO stories are about strange occurrences around nuclear sites, like aliens are trying to prevent us from taking ourselves out.

I didn't realize just how much this movie affected me until now. Just hearing you mention plot points caused me to tear up. Such a wonderful film.
I saw it in the theaters without knowing anything about it and was so glad for it. Its one of my favorite films, and Amy gives an incredible performance. I also read the short story and I do like the majority of the changes they made in the adaption. The one thing I think is handled better in the story (forgive me if I'm remembering it incorrectly) was the development of Hannah's character and the impact that she had on the people around her, which factored into why Louise had her even though she knew she'd die young. The idea that someone can impact so many lives in small ways in a short life is really interesting. Anyway - I really didn't see the time twist coming and it was a gut punch watching it the first time.

This movie, Tenet, and Interstellar gave me a lot to think about as far as predeterminism. Very similar things to think through.

We all know that everything will come to an end and if you had the choice you would always choose to do it again, no matter what pain it brings.

credit to Ted Chiang for the concept....
I don’t usually rewatch movies in the theaters. But I saw this film 3 times in the theater, dragging friends with me, and buying the DVD a few years later for a low-tech friend. Not to mention reading this and other works by Chiang. Both the story and film explores themes of life, loss, and joy so originally and profoundly it’s kinda a spiritual experience.
I just rewatched this for whats probably the 81st time and noticed something in the very beginning, when Louise wakes up and looks out of the window, the tree outside is very much resembling a heptapod.
I loved that I saw this in the theater when it came out but honestly what elevated the experience even more was that I didn’t see a single trailer. A few friends suggested this and I knew nothing about it going in. Needless to say it was a truly incredible experience that I wish I could experience for the first time again
This movie touched and affected me deeply.... As a person that has experienced loneliness, as a mother and as a person that would choose love always, even if it is for a short time. This movie is also one of the last movies Jóhann Jóhannsson composed the music for. I listen to the soundtrack frequently.
I was always under the impression it was Hannah's suffering Ian would've avoided. It's not about him not wanting to be sad it's about him not believing his daughter should be born into a life of such suffering for such a short time but Louise focuses on all the joy and happiness her daughter is able to enjoy and how much her living gives to the world.

100%. It's selfish of her to make the choice for him and for her daughter knowing how much pain it would cause to so many lives. All because she wanted a few moments of joy from another person.
This is such a moving and intelligent movie in so many levels. It reflects our humanity and our fragility so well. Not sure if anyone has mentioned this already in the comments but there are also similarities with the Virgin Mary story here. The character in the movie is given a premonition about her child and her end, the same as Mary who knows her child must die to “save humanity”. Although, it’s not known if Mary had a choice. I could watch this movie over and over again. Thank you for the analysis, I missed a few things along the way.
This film broke me. One of the best. Even Kubrick would be proud of this one. It’s incredibly relevant to the state of humanity.
Thank you for covering this - without doubt one of the greatest sci fi movies ever made.

Arrival is an example of how the best science fiction (speculative fiction) is an allegorical form of story telling, which is perhaps the oldest method of story telling. Funny how this feels like an attempt at examining the human condition in a novel way - what's old is new again.

Love this movie. It's unique. Had to watch it twice to totally understand it. It's like the Doctor and River Song stories where it's not in order. Well that's how I see it. A sci-fi where the aliens are not the bad guys, which is good to see finally. Too many invasions and not enough kindness with a message for mankind.
It's wonderful that you started breaking down older movies too!
I recall first reading the story when the anthology was released, and feeling the story was the most problematic, yet the fullest one in the book. the rest were smaller. linear. years later I had only vague recollection when I went to see it in theatre. my roommate was confused as I went back to theatre two days later- not my thing at all. it still got me at all the same spots. I do not recommend it to everyone, but I usually hear those I've told have been reduced to tears. not a huge Amy Adams fan, until this movie. she was perfect for it, and in it.
Really great movie and really great breakdown, thank you.

I speak a second language on a daily basis and know other languages and I can attest that it does affect you thinking and thought process' and if it doesn't then you don't really immerse yourself in that language. When I learnt sign language if forced me to be more facial expressive, grimacing and sticking my tongue out and mimicking to aid the understanding so it changes everything, turns you into someone else. In sign language if you don't give up to that expression then what you 'sign' makes little sense. It is like watching someone play an instrument with your ears plugged, you see the movement but your brain hears nothing.
Thank you for these classic break downs you and screen crush are the only ones I like to breakdown things new rockstars got annoying

Risking repeating myself coming back to a favorite movie, this reminds me of a favorite song "The Dance" by Garth Brooks. And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end The way it all would go Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'd have had to miss the dance Its the same choice when you decide to home a dog. Their lives are so short in comparison but they love so much. I choose joy every day instead of fearing loss.
I’m discovering these breakdown videos for the first time and they are giving me life
Good stuff
Excellent breakdown of an amazing movie.

After watching this breakdown, I watched the movie again. Every time I watch it, I notice more little details. Villeneuve is an excellent director and the acting is also excellent.
Great review of a spectacular story vehicle for an exercise of really impressive intellect.
Very well done! I think the biggest communication breakdown, on a personal level, was her not telling her future husband that their child was going to die. It just feels like a very selfish decision to not communicate that very important piece of information so they could decide together.

I disagree. If she knows, he'll leave her when she tells him she can see the future, then why tell him more? Then he obviously doesn't want to know more. Some people aren't made for the truth.

Extremely selfish. Also making the choice to have a child knowing they would suffer and die is so wrong

@@liloruf2838 I am probably missing something in what you are saying but is it obvious he doesn't want to know more or is that an assumption on her part? Does not giving him all the information before they conceive a child together because she assumes he won't want to know make her less selfish? I would suggest no but I'm open to ideas.

@@melrye7350 That's a bit trickier. If they didn't know ahead of time and the child was born but had some great positives in her life before the negative we would say, "Well at least they had a great life in the time they had." The question, which I do not have an answer to, is: Does knowing ahead of time change that statement?

How about.. Isn't telling him about the death of their future daughter the more selfish decision in some way? This way he could enjoy years of love for his daughter, unaffected by her fate. I don't think everyone is able to carry such a burden and it really shouldn't have influenced his decision anyway. He's blaming her because he's grieving.
