Arrival is one of my favorite movie. Between the cast, the amazing story , and its ost, it's just perfect. Some themes of the stories actually reminds me of SNK. Someone on yt even mixed Nature of Daylight (one of arrival track) with with one SNK track and it's Amazing 😭😭

*spoilers for the 2016 film Arrival*

OMG so that’s the title of that song! It’s amazing, gives me chills and really reminds me of the film! I love the cast too, Amy Adams is just amazing 😭 and the story!! I mean, communication/linguistics is such an unexplored topic in scifi films and they handled it beautifully. And that twist, where the more you learn their language, the more you see time as non-linear. Man, really blew me away.

I haven’t watched Arrival again while thinking of SNK but on the top of my mind, i think ur right, they do share similarities. In terms of the time shenanigan, i can think that Louise choosing to let her child be born despite knowing what will happen is so different from Eren’s perspective of the future. I’m not sure what Eren saw in his memories but I think he’s trying to change the course of events in order for his friends to live, but at the massive expense of probably millions of people, and him not experiencing the beauty the world can offer.

On the other hand, Louise is choosing to live beautifully despite the cruel circumstances she knows will happen. I remember her husband leaving her because he was so devastated when he found out what will happen to their child, and iirc, him saying that Louise should have avoided it. Probably afraid of the pain he will suffer. But Louise chooses to experience it all, not changing anything at all.

Who knows what’s the right course of action when u have the knowledge of the future: Trying to change it, or just live with it.

I might have rambled on but thank you for this ☺️
