One of the best movies in recent times, based upon one of the best sci-fi novellas of recent times, soundtracked by the saddest song in recent times. What an awesome movie Arrival turned out to be. Enjoy!

Je revois #Arrival / #PremierContact de Denis Villeneuve pour la trouzième fois. Chef d'oeuvre.
Et ce thème musical mélancolique au possible de Max Richter qui ne te quitte plus pendant plusieurs heures :

Denis Villeneuve's Arrival was released 7 years ago today.
I love this "close encounter".

Award-winning writers Ted Chiang and Eric Heisserer, who worked together on the movie #Arrival and are familiar with the impact of #AI on creative professions, reflect on techno-optimism vs. techno-realism at the #GeekWireSummit. https://www.geekwire.com/2023/writers-techno-optimism-ai-nonsense/

Just finished watching Arrival, and it hit me in the feels the way it always does. I've seen it at least half a dozen times but there are always new levels to it, every time. What an absolutely incredible film.

Tonight's viewing.
I will try very hard not to go into linguistic anthropology nerd mode afterwards but I can't promise anything.

#Arrival is just one of the best films ever!

If you've seen it already, watch it again - but this time with #LLMs in mind. It gives a whole new dimension to the film. 🙃

Been working my way through the works of one of the greatest film directors working today - #DenisVilleneuve. I’ve seen the major Hollywood works like #Dune, #BladeRunner2049, #Arrival, and #Sicario, as well as his smaller films like #Prisoners, and even his lesser known films like #Enemy and even #Polytechnique… but today I watched #Incendies… and… uhh… Jesus Christ. What a fucked-up yet powerful condemnation of the horrors that war creates not only directly, but so often just in its wake.

A dark-haired olive-skin woman on the right of the frame looks leftward devastated, with her eyes downward to the ground in front of her. Her face has a line of blood dripping beside the visible temple of her head between her eye and ear in the frame, though it’s not clear whether or not the blood is her own. As wind blows her hair, an old model 60s-70s era light blue bus with a stripe along its side is in the background of the frame slightly out of focus - spewing flames from its shattered side windows as it burns and black smoke billows out from the top following the same wind blowing the woman’s hair. The beige rocky desert all around the woman and bus has dust kicking up in the air from the same wind and a blurry human body-like shapes lay on the ground with smatterings of red shapes among them - perhaps blood.
