What did you think of Arrival?

It was truly, truly terrible and I am appalled that so many people seemed to legitimately enjoy it.

First, the main character is another single white liberal mother. She walks through the movie with indignation. Knowing that "deep down she knows she is right" the whole time.

The Aliens are so dumb. They aren't interesting at all and their stupid method of communication looks so heavy handed. The director clearly thinks that every idea in his movie is "genius level".

To spoil everything, in the end we find out that the Aliens came to "help humanity" by giving us their "universal language". We are told that China and Russia and Sudan are trying to kill the Aliens and then the US bombs the Aliens, killing one of them.

There's a scene where they make fun of Alex Jones, and the whole thing is VERY heavy handed liberal propaganda virtue signaling.

This kind of movie makes cucks feel so good about themselves.

user, ur dumb

no one cares about your uninteresting opinion

That the best you got, samefag?

>scene where they make fun of alex jones

Link?

I don't have a link to it nor a screenshot yet. It was a scene about 1/3 of the way through the movie where they show a "crazy right-wing lunatic" on TV with American flags and big guns mounted up all over the place. The lunatic was wearing like a cowboy hat if I remember correctly and was saying "we need to just kill all the aliens," blah blah blah.

So what I'm getting is that you're a triggered Trumplrina and you're actively looking for things that will offend your cuckservative sensibilities.

The movie is pretty good. I'd give it a 7/10.

Man, that was so brilliant of you to deduce that by going to see a movie, I was actively looking for something.

I shouldn't have to defend going to see this movie, it could have been great. Was I triggered? Clearly not because I came to post about the political agenda of the writers.

This country is sick and tired of you fucking liberal cucks, shilling for anything partisan. Giving shitty movies a pass with "is pretty good, 7/10". You think people don't see right through your veneer? You think you're on the "winning team" and it makes you feel powerful. At the end of the day you're just another SJW goat, braying in the flock.

>Sup Forums being this triggered.

Come on man, relax. You're so deep into the partisan hackery you see propaganda and agenda everywhere.

You're not even presenting a question for debate, it's a blogpost. 2/10 b8.

I did post a question for debate, a fairly typical one for Sup Forums...

> What did you think of Arrival?

Let's start with your claim that I'm just seeing shadows. What were your takeaways from the movie?

I enjoyed it quite a bit. It's not as good as Enemy though.

Why are you so angry? Who cares if the director is a liberal? You can enjoy a movie without agreeing with its political message. I enjoy certain right wing movies and I'm far from right wing.

Those Sup Forums buzzwords don't help your case either.

I haven't seen it yet, but is that image supposed to look like Persona?

Bad, bad, bad linguistics

The autist in me couldn't look past it

>muh sapir-whorf

Fuck off

I definitely thought the "jingoistic youtube personality brainwashes soldiers" bit was dumb and unnecessary, but other than that it was a good movie.

I'm not angry, but I don't like that Hollywood puts this much poison in their movies.

This movie goes beyond having a political message, it pretty much says fuck china, fuck russia, fuck the middle east, fuck america, the truth is only known to brave single white mothers who are "open minded" enough to "get it".

amy adams makes me want to "arrive" if you know what i mean

She teaches English to the Aliens by showing them words and phrases.

That's not Alex Jones, that was Dave Filoni

I do know what you mean. No need to say more.

Sounds very accurate. Conservatives would totally do some dumb reactionary shit like this.

He triggered

Leftists are like Village of the Damned children. They just show up all around you with their creepy fucking eyes and their group think.

So... This is the power... Of the redpill...

I know you're just here because your shill chat room said to click the link and shill

ooga booga indeed

Forest Whitaker is officially "Cuck of 2016" between this and that shitty trash-can costume role from R1.

I see no valid criticism besides "liberals ruin everything"

Nigs cannot be cucks, it's the one virtue they have.

Well maybe that's because you have a convenient blind spot for the truth.

There was no character development, the climactic scene of the drama, where she is on the phone with the Chinese general, is all in Chinese without subtitles?? We just had subtitles for when she talked using circles but can't get any for when she speaks in Chinese during the climactic scene?

I agree

>learning a circle language makes me see the future

Why did anyone think this was a good idea.

I thought it was a great pleb filter.

Case in point: 90% of this thread (including OP)

>Thinks it was a great pleb filter
>Provides nothing of substance to back up the claim

It's time to review your running definition of "pleb" because I don't think it means what you think it means.

Plebian is not a term used for "political opponents". Plebian is a term used for the lower/uneducated masses. In which case this movie is the exact opposite of a pleb filter, it's actually a Plebian Catcher.

>Sup Forums getting triggered by white people
>tfw full circle

Oh look, another anti-white racist mongol. Don't worry, most whites know that it isn't really what we do or how we do it that you have a problem with. Whites are aware that you just want to take what's ours and will not stand for your shillery.

>There's a scene where they make fun of Alex Jones
Oh shit. It all makes sense now. This is why you wannabe right-wing drumpftards have a hate boner for this movie.

It's not a political thing. Pleb filter means being too dumb and/or lazy to understand the themes of a movie, and instead focusing on superficial aspects. OP criticies the Alex Jones resemblance and the fact that the MC starts the film being a single woman, which is honestly fucking retarded. That is not even close to the point of the movie.

Jewish propaganda!
The aliens were an a analogy for gay conditioning!
Don't believe the liberal lies!
Garbage movie, just garbage.
Protect yourself from trash like that

OP seems like a real swell guy who many attractive women would like to socialise with

Sup Forums here. What liberal politics? The movie was expressly about how memories shape our perception. What you should be angry about is the over conveyance of the theme.

>We are told that China and Russia and Sudan are trying to kill the Aliens and then the US bombs the Aliens, killing one of them.
Read Hellstar Remina. Humans do stupid fucking shit when under panic mode. Which is why liberals do what they do, they're constantly under emotional duress.

came here to post htis because for a split second i thought i saw persona in catalog


probably just tarantino-level aping of visuls from better films

It's not about being a single woman. It's that she was a single mother with a backstory of how her man left her because he couldn't deal with their daughter's illness.

It's just the social programming aspect that is bugging me. And the fact that people who support the political ideology will team up to give these films great reviews, with little criticism. All politics aside, this movie was written like an "explain it like i'm 5" thread and seemed to do nothing but try and provoke fear of Russia and China.

>it's an another "I don't find this part of the narrative real or plausible so the movie is shit" thread

Reminder that if you judge movies solely on their narrative then you are indeed a first class pleboid

Wow. Did you watch the film sober? Did you fall asleep? Your criticisms are weak as fuck. The storytelling was some of the boldest of the year in blockbuster category. If you couldn't see that, you were set on not enjoying it.

Please... Please have sex!

I liked it

I thought the alien designs were really unminaginative

Ever since trump won I can't help but notice that the people on the other side of the spectrum from the cultural marxist liberal cucks just want to have their own safe spaces and trigger warnings.

Am I on /asp/?

I remember the trailer gave the vibe that it had something like prometheus' mutation black goo

In what way was the storytelling "bold"? Every plot development came from countless news reports playing in the background to characters excitedly describing the latest development to other characters.

It isn't bold, it's quite literally the same way to tell an "Alien Invasion" story as Signs, War of the Worlds, The Day the Earth Stood Still.

The only things I liked about it were the comfy rainy-weather vibe and Jeremy Renner.

The trailer gave away the whole movie, it turns out. It's nothing but the same shots repeated over and over. Helicopter shots over the field and interior shots in front of the "smoke room".

OP this is funny but also frightening. God you're stupid.

Movie was a bad version of the novel Embassytown. You'd hate the book though OP, since the author is a dirty Marxist.

>Liberal cuck
>Only happy when everyone agrees with all of their opinions
>Encounters differing opinion
>"God, you're stupid"

Thanks for the warning :D haha

OP okay let's say the narrative was sub par, which is ridiculous to say but let's pretend it is.

Then what about the editing? The score? The sound design? The framing and composition? Cinematography as a whole? The blocking? Line deliveries? Set and overall production design?

If you really think the movie is "truly, truly terrible" then surely you can tell me why were all the other filmmaking elements sub par.
You don't judge a movie completely based on it's plot right?

Why do you say that?

On a technical level, I absolutely agree that the movie is of high quality. The comfy-weather vibe, the textures in the sky from different clouds and stuff. Those pieces were great.

I think that's what makes the cucking of the potential even more frustrating. Because that's how great propaganda works. That's what makes the director the "ourguy" for the leftists.

They take a huge budget, old hat experienced crews, A-list actors, source material that is well regarded, and inject their political checklist into the very fabric of the film. Once the art is poisoned like this, you have to turn away from the great qualities too, otherwise you are falling for the trick anyways.

Just here to tell you that, Armond White, the biggest right moral kino judge of them all, absolutely loved Arrival.

Also lmao you are an actual autist.

I was with you until youre idiotic "muh liberulz" spiel. Also alex jones is a disinfo fag

Let's see, you liberal bullies have so far called me austist, retard, stupid. I'm none of these.

The alien knowledge as a symbol for promoting gay sex theory? That must explain why the aliens communicate with sphincters
