Analysis Of Arrival

This film actually is a bit of two genres, the science fiction genre and the drama genre. Knowing this, the viewer can expect a few things. In pertinence to the drama part, one can expect that there will be some sort of strife between characters. Also, one should expect lot’s of slow camera movements (at least for the majority of the movie), with the characters being at the forefront of most of the camera shots et cetera. The science fiction part of the movie’s genre allows the viewer to prepare for some kind of fantastical quality in the film, in this case, aliens. Many scenes in Arrival have an almost dreamlike quality to them, and this adds to it’s science fiction label. Overall, it is important to recognize what genre this movie belongs to in order to successfully analyze it and it’s formal

You cannot just take in a few things to determine if the movie fulfills your standards of what makes a film good. There are a few things that really makes the movie Arrival stand out as one of the better films of 2016. I believe that Arrival is built on the foundation that all great movies have a relatable theme, show good acting, and brings out certain emotion that keeps us wanting more.

The film Close Encounters of the Third Kind drew upon the alien and UFO craze that was going on in the 1970s. The film was written and directed by Steven Spielberg and released in the year 1977. This film doesn’t have any superstar actors or actresses but interestingly enough, Meryl Streep auditioned but was not given a role in the film. Many things about this film are quite interesting, including the movie being filmed in an unused airplane hangar and the aliens being played by schoolgirls. The behind the scenes elements would make you want to believe that this movie would end up being a disappointment, but this assumption couldn’t be more wrong.

With the record setting release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens the sci-fi franchise is the center of attention. No small talk begins without saying, Have you seen the new Star Wars?

In the first place his is not the typical movie that you usually seeing, this movie is the beginning of an era of people looking to progress and be better.

Why do we fear the unknown? In the process of answering this question, science-fiction genre films successfully capture the history of American society at distinct points in time. The genre is so closely linked to social and historical contexts that its development relies solely on this connection. Sci-fi myths and conventions have remained static for decades, and the only measurable change in the genre lies in the films’ themes (Gehring 229-230). For example, Robert Wise’s The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) argues that fear of the unknown is a flaw in human nature and criticizes the social paranoia of post-war, 1940s America. Conversely, Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) views the human existence through more

Diplomacy has always involved communication with other nations, we would anticipate that it would work the same with an alien species. Arrival's aliens are massive seven-legged creatures that humans named heptapods. In the film, the linguist Louise learns that heptapods use non-linear orthography. “Their written language is circular, time does not have a direction. Many human cultures conceive time differently. The Chinese tend to think of time running from top to bottom, as opposed Western cultures that tend to think of time running left to right” (Hooper).

Films are created as a reflection of society. They are designed to be a storytelling platform that inform the viewing audience about a specific message. Often time, films are created to address society’s present state, but rather end up predicting the future. From the 1968 hit film, 2001: A Space Odyssey, that predicted space tourism and algorithm operating systems, to the jaw-dropping 1984 film, Star Trek III:

The dramatic war-like classic of a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, it is Star Wars. It made a huge impact in the 70s for its THX digitally mastered sound, new visual effects, but most of all the marvelous theme, without which, Star Wars would not be half the film it is now. It took the science fiction genre to a whole new era. Therefore, Star Wars IV is the best science fiction movies of all times.

Recently some students of an English class watched a short film called Arrival, directed by Denise Villeneuve. One of the main stars of the film was Dr. Louise Banks, the hetapods that are actually called aliens. Arrival is about how these aliens called hetapods come down and land one of the 12 spacecraft’s on Earth. In the film they create world chaos to the point where the military is involved and the military needs Dr. Louise to help answer the citizens questions? “ Why are the hetapods here?” Due to them being aliens Dr. Louise job assigned by the military is to use her career skills as a language expert to understand these hetapods language and to communicate with them. Eventually she can communicate with the hetapods, considering reality how likely do you believe it is to have aliens or other intelligent beings would be on Earth? Thinking about their language, habitat lifestyle and how would the world react to them being here. How would we contact them? Could the world afford to use money for scientific tools and resources attempting to find and listen for space aliens?

I will be considering that Star Wars appeals to many different people, proof of this is that it was released again in 1997 and still was groundbreaking to the millions of older viewers, also capturing the imagination of the younger generation. Sci-fi films are known to have

What would happen if alien life forms landed on earth? How would we communicate and cooperate with them? If there was a conflict, how would we fix it? The movie Arrival, directed by Denis Villeneuve attempts to answer these questions.

Most of the science fiction works contain a crucial message that the writer wishes to convey to the viewers. There are two categories of film message, one is positive and the other is negative. A positive message is one that is expected to have favourable outcome to the audience, and continuously aiming to promote better societal changes. In contrast, a negative message is one that could deliver threats or unpleasant information to the audience, which could have significant impact on the normal order of the society.
