Genre Research: Arrival

I watched this movie about two years ago and fell in love. The plot, the actors, and the message were beautiful. Very few films linger in my mind the way Arrival did. But even after several viewings, on each watch, Arrival offers a new interpretation, a fresh point of view, or a renewed perception of events. The movie questions our linear concept of time, this business of starting from the beginning and stopping at the end. But they made us ask, what if time, to suit our intent, could be bent, formed, molded? And she doesn't always have the answers in the future and always has to fill these open holes with up-to-date knowledge from the present; explanations such as the name of her husband, presenting the answer to a science question for her daughter, and how she came to receive insight from the future. In an infinite loop, the future, the past, and the present all benefit from each other. A new perspective on how we live life is offered by the message given. The aliens can explain everything in one symbol. In languages, several vocabularies can bear the complete sentences in other languages. It is possible to describe a whole expression or feeling that I can only assemble in as little as one sentence. The element this movie has from the thriller genre, that we want to incorporate is the mystery. Actions that make you reconsider reality. Our project may not reach such a sophisticated standard yet but we eventually will get there. The only element of this genre that I didn't completely like was the execution, it felt a bit inconsistent. There were a lot of missed opportunities, but they were missed because I feel like they wanted to add to the suspense. The element that did appeal to me was the thrill not physically but mentally. It brings in a whole new perception of knowledge, cultures, languages, and even time.
