If Arrival (the film) was like its corresponding story, it was very linguistic-determinism-y.

I watched it on a plane. The graphics were amazing but the story was boring. I love the concept but the film needs some work

The writing of the film is only an effect and distorts the novel of Ted Chiang...

It refers roughly to people being given birth to and raised by animals. However, over the last 30 years or so it's usage has been changed and it became an exclamation that corresponds roughly to "Holy Shit!"

I read it before I saw the movie; and then I read lsd's remark; and I can only echo masako's remark. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, @lsd ?

I say it in your language...

Code: Select all

Even if my english is very poor my conlang is painfully awfull for lazy evening...
the movie rounded writing is an analogy of eternal return like the rather smart suspense montage but a little vain (because at the opposite of heptapod B runs) ...  nothing to do with the novel... very fine in description of this special language ...
Best ideas in conlanging are often in fake conlang described in literature... not in movie adaptations where ideas have to enter the cave and wear some realism to be shown...
