Why did this whore cuck an innocent man into a doomed marriage and conceive an innocent child into a slow and agonizing. completely inevitable death. What in the name of fuck am I suppose to take away from this turd?
Not to mention the dialogue all round was horrendous.

That the good moments and memories outweigh the bad

Couldn't her marry a diferent guy and have a totally different child in hopes of him not having cancer and enjoy the good moments while preventing the bad?
Or getting married with the same guy but avoid having children so they enjoy a happy married life without having to see their child die?

Death is never inevitable. People know it, and still have children.
Life is always too short.

Women are awful

What about the childs chemo for 8 years of normalcy not too mention the life shattering consequences of a Father losing a Daughter unkown to him. Was that worth it too? Truly doubt it.

>That the good moments and memories outweigh the bad
they don't though, not irl

>Couldn't she marry a diferent guy
No
>and have a totally different child
No
>in hopes of him not having cancer and enjoy the good moments while preventing the bad?
No
>Or getting married with the same guy but avoid having children so they enjoy a happy married life without having to see their child die?
No

There was no choice. That was her future, no matter what she did or attempted.

It's a closed time loop. Everything has already happened

>Death is never inevitable
wat

You should write inane cards for Hallmark, assuming Hallmark still exists

I thought the whole point of time being circular is that you essentially don't have free will.

For example, think about your past. You know what choices you made, you know the outcomes of those choices, and there's nothing you can do to change any of it. All the whole "circular time" meme does is apply that going forward, so that you know what choices you are going to make, you know what the outcomes of those choices will be, and there is nothing you can do to change it.

Just look at Abbott. Abbott knew he was going to die, but he couldn't do anything to change it. That was just his timeline.

What if she stabbed her throat with a knife. Spontaneously

>steal "aliens grant one human the ability to perceive time anachronistically as a mechanism to explore concepts of free will and morality" premise directly from Slaughterhouse-Five
>everyone lauds you for "bringing intelligent sci-fi back!!"

That wouldn't happen, if it did she would know about it.
The premise isn't that she can now see where each choice will lead her.
She is seeing her future like you are seeing your past.
She can't change that future just as little as you can change the past and spontaneously stab yourself in the past.

That was the point.
And since you don't have free will, you might as well enjoy what you have.

Wrong. Free will is knowing the future and not acting against it. They can change the time but decide not to.

Part of the book was this idea of fate and that how one excercised free will was through acceptance.

Nobody's immortal.

All that stuff already happened, she couldn't change it anymore than she could change the past. Part of the message was free will is an illusion and all events actually take place simultaneously we only observe them linearly.

>What in the name of fuck am I suppose to take away from this?

It's more about appreciation of life, not "experiencing" as such.

If you would know your whole life from start to finish you would find beauty and joy from the smallest bits of moments in a day which you may take now for granted.

Here's an excerpt from an interview with Villeneuve to maybe clear things up for you:
>"The idea is that the heptapods see life like a [scripted] play. They know what will happen, so they have the choice — either they do it bored to death, or they embrace it and try to be at their best, like an actor on a stage."

So it's about embracing death (instead of denying it like we do) as an essential part of life and appreciating every waking moment of it.

What really got me was that learning the alien language alters your perception of time enough for you to see your future. They tried to make everything somewhat grounded in reality but that part was too nonsensical for me

nobody talks about this and it's hilarious. Slaughterhouse tackles every subject Arrival does except in a meaningful, much more adventurous way.

...

What they are trying to say is that it's normal to see time that way, because that's actually the way it is.

In the vonnegut book this is ripped off from the aliens say that all races in the galaxy see all of time happening simultaneously and only here on earth does the concept of free will exist.

All learning their language did was open her eyes to how time really is.

Her husband would certainly disagree.

it's NWO propaganda, ignore and move on

she gains knowledge of the past and future, not agency over it. pls watch more closely next time.

If that were true she could've just dialed the chinaman's phone number at the start and averted everything problematic.
