Re: Unexpected FUBARs in films

[(Anonymous)]

I was so not here for the "twist" in Arrival. I thought it was kind of stupid, not even a tiny bit as ~meaningful and profound~ as it was meant to be, and it completely undermined the main character for me.

Re: Unexpected FUBARs in films

I liked the movie, but the short story did the "twist" better. Because it wasn't a twist to begin with and it worked fine that way. When I watched the movie I didn't realize it was meant to be a twist. Of course anyone who hadn't read the story would think the scenes with the daughter were flashbacks, but I went in with the knowledge that they weren't so I assumed we were supposed to know, as in the story, that they were visions of the future. But in the story the cause of the daughter's death is completely different and makes the main character seem much less selfish.

I've read articles about how the movie is better because it gives the main character more ~agency~ but what I thought after the movie was that the story took away the daughter's agency.

Oops, I mean the movie took away the daughter's agency from the short story (which by the way is called Story of Your Life).
