Communication In The Movie Arrival

The main character in the movie Juno is a 16 year old girl named Juno. She is witty, sarcastic and has a great sense of humor. Surrounded by the falling leaves of autumn, we find Juno drinking “like ten tons of Sunny D” as she decides to take three pregnancy tests to confirm her worst fear. She is pregnant. After a fateful and funny encounter with a pro-life schoolmate outside an abortion clinic, ("Fingernails? The baby already has fingernails?"), Juno decides to go through with the pregnancy. Juno breaks the news to her best friend and father of the baby Paulie Bleeker, as well as her parents. Surprisingly all parties seem very supportive of her plan to give the baby up for adoption. With the advice from her friend Leah she searches

To some parents, teenagers may seem like aliens because they don’t understand them. In reality, the world deals with communicating with the unknown, this happens with languages and miscommunication between parents and children. In the story, Louise deals with trying to understand the heptapods language trying to communicte with her daughter. In The Story of Your Life, Ted Chiang uses imagery to help support the theme “Communication with the unknown”.

When you ask someone to describe what aliens are, the frequency of them resembling inhuman, grotesque creatures certainly outweighs the number of relatively human-like responses. Therefore, a stereotype, making aliens out to only be cold-hearted creatures craving for an incursion of Earth receives credence. Furthermore, these trite stereotypes surrounding aliens is in part the causation of the majority of alien encounters to be frightening, and violent. Mutual understanding of each other is a must for a seamless interaction between alien parties.

Aliens would not be interested in invading the Earth. While some think that aliens want to invade Earth to exploit materials, others agree that aliens don't exist or are not interested in invading the Earth. According to Seth Shostak, Earth doesn't have anything that aliens would be interested in, other than an abundance of water. While water is a common resource that many aliens would long for, traveling to Earth for this resource is too big of a hassle when it can be found in many closer regions. Thus, aliens would not be interested in traveling to Earth for this resource. In addition to Seth Shostak’s article, Why Would Aliens Want Earth, according to Irene Klotz, aliens should have visited the Earth by now. Either they don't exist or they

The Characters Gina Antonelli, Daniel Metz, and Judge Lambert in the film “Trial at Fortitude Bay” all clearly demonstrate the communication competence model that we have learned about in our COM263 class. The communication competence model expresses that there are four levels of intercultural communication competence. Each level reflects who a person is and how they act in different cultures. For instance, Gina is consciously competent, she knows the culture but it takes effort for her to be a part of it. At the begging she did not understand the tribes important to hunt when they were supposed to meet to talk about Pauloose’s trial, nevertheless by the end of the film she understood. While Daniel would be labeled as unconsciously competent

What would you do if extraterrestrial life came to Earth, running for their lives and trying to get home? This is a question posed in many Science fiction films, books, and texts. In particular, the novel I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore and the 2009 film Race to Witch Mountain by Andy Fickman. These two texts show contrasting outcomes of what humankind’s response to the unknown may be. The creators of these two texts display the influence of stereotypes, fears which humankind holds, and human likeness to speculate the possible outcomes of human interaction with extraterrestrial life.

Recently some students of an English class watched a short film called Arrival, directed by Denise Villeneuve. One of the main stars of the film was Dr. Louise Banks, the hetapods that are actually called aliens. Arrival is about how these aliens called hetapods come down and land one of the 12 spacecraft’s on Earth. In the film they create world chaos to the point where the military is involved and the military needs Dr. Louise to help answer the citizens questions? “ Why are the hetapods here?” Due to them being aliens Dr. Louise job assigned by the military is to use her career skills as a language expert to understand these hetapods language and to communicate with them. Eventually she can communicate with the hetapods, considering reality how likely do you believe it is to have aliens or other intelligent beings would be on Earth? Thinking about their language, habitat lifestyle and how would the world react to them being here. How would we contact them? Could the world afford to use money for scientific tools and resources attempting to find and listen for space aliens?

For example, Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) is a female main character and has encountered these aliens on her previous voyage. Another main character is Newt (Carrie Henn) who is a young female around the age of 8 and is the only survivor on LV-426 and knows her way around the compound. Then they have a character named Carter Burke (Paul Reiser) who is the scientist who gives Ellen the job and ultimately double crosses her. Finally, we have Cpl. Dwayne Hicks (Michael Biehn) who is the main colonial marine who teaches Ellen to survive in such a hostile environment. During this movie it is placed in the distant future and on another planet called LV-426. In the beginning of this film it immediately grabs your attention with a dream. It has the main actor Sigourney Weaver in the hospital waking up from a coma where she is frightened to hear that she has been drifting in space for 57 years. Upon excitement she has what looks like a psychotic episode and while trying to get sedated the doctors lift up her shirt and an alien tears through her rib

“Oh God I hope my new roommate is not a foreign exchange student! That would make me feel so uncomfortable.” I am sure this sentence or one like it was said either out loud or in the heads of a few people moving into college for the first time. Each and every day people make observations and judgments about one another. They can be the smallest things or they can be things that affect the person to a great extent.

The syuzhet reveals definitively that the opening sequence was a vision of the future rather than a flashback. The first time the narration offers a little depth of knowledge of Louise is when she asks Costello “Who is this child?”. That is the exact moment the plot reveals with absolute certainty that the visions are not flashbacks. This is the first time Louise comments on her visions, unleashing the slightest bit of depth of knowledge on her character. Costello immediately responds: “Louise sees future.” Now the gaps begin to fill themselves quickly. Louise tries to explain to Weber that the weapon the heptapods are trying to give humanity is their language, which causes whoever learns it to begin to perceive time nonlinearly. Louise also begins to control these visions so she can receive vital information from the future to save the day in the present. After the narration makes it obvious that these visions are of the future, Louise stands in a field outside of the military base with Ian, when a montage similar to the one at the beginning of the film plays. With the revelation of this montage’s true time frame, both primary enigmas have been answered, and the film can

Another communication concept that “Arrival” integrates into the film is cultural relativism. For one to understand this concept, one must begin with the understanding that the methods by which humans communicate are abstract and therefore meaningless. “Cultural relativity, then, denies any inherent meaning to any communication but predicts instead that when two people share a similar enough frame of reference, they will interpret a linguistic event similarly” (Villareal.) In other words, a communicative expression from one reference point can have an entirely new meaning from another. The concept’s significance with respect to the film can be shown by how the humans react to the alien’s use of the word weapon. From most of the world’s reference

They will rush to the movies to see an Alien/Martian movie. Aliens was there before martians aliens was like things from another planet or something like that.After alien came they made Martians Martians are much more power full than aliens and many people believe there

An analysis of the interpersonal communication of the main characters in the movie Meet the Parents in relation to interpersonal communication concepts and relative theories. I predict the lack of self-disclosure and deception will cause a problem between Greg and Jack when beginning their relationship as son-in-law and father-in-law, which will also stress other personal relationships.

The aliens never came to Earth again, and never intended any harm in the first place or did

The dialogue presented throughout Arrival aids in conveying its message of communication and how it is significant. Within the film, the discussions, that Louise has, help achieve the overall theme.
