    This is an amazing interview: no marketting bullshit, no "everyone is wonderful", no superlatives, just an honest and interesting discussion between intelligent people. Quite refreshing. I have a lot more appreciation of the screenwriter role thanks to this interview.

    Wow - what a difference in content when you have an expert interviewer talking to a brilliant screenwriter who wrote an amazing film... wow...

    You know a film is a pure definition of perfection when you cry for a faceless alien. Yes I have fallen in love with them both, and yes I cry every time Costello tells Louise that Abot is going to die.

    Just finished watching the movie today again trying to learn more about it. Typed on CZcams “What real scientist think about the movie” and this popped up. Awesome interview.

    Interstellar and arrival just clicked immediately with me. My mind was blown, i actually think these 2 movies rearranged my neuronal paths....

    Brilliant interview, and I think I should add that the original line from the Eric Heisserer's script about why the aliens came to Earth - "We came to to return the favour for when humanity saves us 3000 years from now" would have been a tad stronger method to introduce the idea to viewers, though I'm sure it was changed for some good reason.

      When is it revealed that humans save them in 3000 years? I'm not being argumentative, everywhere I've seen it said in the movie and I've rewatched the scene with her speaking with Costello that last time and I can't find it.
      It's driving me crazy cause it seems like such a huge part of the movie and I can't find it.

      As Costello shows her the symbols in the spaceship, one of the symbol represents Costello informing Louise that humanity will help them 3000 years in the future. It's never explicitly said in English but Costello informs her of this through the Heptapod language; under the symbol he draws/makes, the english translation is displayed which reads "humanity will help us 3000 years from now", or something with that meaning.

      But then it'll explain too much. I think it's better to leave it for us to guess.

      If you choose not to decide
      You still have made a choice
      ...
      I will choose a path that's clear
      I will choose free will

      There's no need to apologize. The unchangeable, hyper-deterministic course of path that we call our timeline compelled you to write that. There was no "decision" you could have made or "choice" for you.

    The movie is better than the novel imo.

    Its ironic that this guy wrote the awful The Thing Prequel Screenplay

      In another interview he goes into how traumatic that filming was because the studios kept reaching their fingers in and wanted to change things all the time. Apparently at one time they stopped filming for 3 weeks because the studio decided they now wanted to make it all 3d. I haven't read the script, so I can't speak to whether it's good or not, but apparently it was a project that wasn't a lot of fun. Just became very frustrating.
