The way I see it, from Louise's perspective it isn't a choice about whether or not to give their future daughter however brief a life. To Louise, Hannah has already lived that life. To take away a life already lived is a much harder choice to make than to prevent that life from happening at all.
the movie literally TELLS you the twist in the opening few lines, yet we still never see it coming... what a screenplay, what a movie!
Because Louise learned the aliens language, her daughter is always a living presence. She can experience her short life at any time. Ian doesn't speak the language so for him, her life was finite. This is such a beautiful film. I am forever salty Amy Adams wasn't nominated for an Oscar for this film. It's an incredible performance.
"How did she know the wife's dying words?" It's the classic Bootstrap Paradox in timey-wimey media. General Shang actually tells her, it's what he was whispering to her in that scene. She knows because she is looking-at/remembering the future. General Shang tells her that because in the past, she tells that to General Shang.
I'm glad they went with naming her Hannah instead of Racecar.
It's interesting that you mentioned the cinematography. Arrival's cinematography was done by Bradford Young, who incidentally became the first African-American cinematographer to be nominated for an Academy Award for his work on this film. His other films include Selma and A Most Violent Year. p.s.; The Chinese General's wife's final words, translated, was 'In war there are no winners, only widows.'
The beautiful thing about knowing the end of your daughter is that you will never waste a single moment and know every moment is precious.
"I forgot how good it felt to be held by you" fucks me up every time I hear it. Such an amazing movie.
I saw this in theaters, and the sounds the heptapods made shook your entire body. Chills, man.
