Hope you enjoy this video on Denis Villeneuve's process of creating Arrival!
Do you have a favorite sci-fi movie or book?
2001: A Space Odyssey!
Alien is my favourite movie, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is my favourite book. Also fantastic video, seriously well made.
Denis is a great director... My favorite sci-fi (and movie) is Children of Men. I have a great affection for Nolan's Interstellar, despite the little problems i have with the ending.
Children of Men is my favorite sci-fi movie. That movie is just oozing with atmosphere, and the long takes are pretty amazing too. For my favorite sci-fi book, it would be Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion.
Heretics of Dune
It demonstrates beautifully how versatile Villeneuve is when, after never tackling science fiction before, he can direct two of the greatest sci-fi films of the 21st century IN A ROW.
what is the other one ?
@@SomeDudeFromHeaven Blade Runner 2049
@@luizhenriquemachadodesouza5144 shud I watch Blade runner the old one before it ?
JDo you probably should. The second movie goes deeper into concepts introduced in the first
Dune is coming.
'ARRIVAL' is the most important sci-fi film ever made. In a world where improvement in technology has only broken down communication among humans, this film is a gentle, philosophical reflection on where we have reached and how would be even respond if 'aliens' would ever come.
Yes, I love films that try to explore "what ifs" like this and base them in reality as much as possible. It really allows for an explanation of how humans operate
As did Batman v Superman (the directors cut) and Man of Steel with Superman
@@cill521 100%👍
Yeah, no, it’s amazing but extremely far from the most important science fiction movie ever made. That title belongs to 2001: A Space Odyssey without a doubt.
You should check out Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind ...
‘Arrival’ is the only movie that moves me time and time again no matter how many times I watch it. Kudos to Ted Chiang too for writing the story
Only here to assure myself that his DUNE will be fantastic.
Dune the one Lynch directed?
@@BruceRodriguez Villeneuve is currently filming a remake
go watch it. and then blade runner 2049
Don't be presumptuous. Rather be as critical as possible. Although, Dennis Villeneuve is a fabulous director.
it will be pretty good, not fantastic as his best films are ones that do not deal with sci fi. Chalamet in the lead and Zimmer on the keys is not too good of an omen. Not having Roger Deakins behind the camera is pretty worrying too, that mans style is built for stuff like dune.
When asked to describe Villeneuve's Dune movie in one word, Timothée Chalamet said "grounded".
I believe we'll have the same kind of contrast in scopes. A huge sci-fi universe built around the very personal story of Paul Atreide. Can't wait !!!
Wow, thanks for sharing that. I'm even more excited for Dune now
What did you think of the trailer that just dropped? :)
I never thought I could fall in love with a director, until I met Denis Villeneuve's masterpieces.
Denis is the best director of the decade!!
I love that he's influenced visually by specific photographers or artists for each film. That was really interesting to learn.
I thought so as well! Now I want to dig and figure out which artists he's taken after
This channel is on fire. I don’t even have an interest in making films, I just love hearing how people think. Thank you for your hard work
Glad to know I can still make these interesting for people who don't want to become filmmakers :) Thanks for watching
The Director's Cut you converted me into a filmmaker !
Denis Villeneuve's films is a strong reminder how powerful cinema can be when handled by the right hands and why TV Series, no matter how good they can be, will never replace the 7th art.
Absolutely love this director, can’t wait for Dune. Also, great video again man!
Thank you! I'm excited for Dune as well
Me too. Dune will be amazing. So far I loved Arrival and Blade runner 2049 the most.
Controversially, I am not a fan of his Blade Runner film, though I don't think the fault is his per say. That said, I respect that he took the money and made the movie. It showed guts. The movie, though not as good as the original, was at least liked, but had it bombed, he would of had a hard time making a film that big for a while. The lessons he learned from BR will help him in Dune and I think he'll do something cool with this project.
@GiRayne Controversial because in this day and age of outrage culture, saying you dislike something considered a good piece (movie, music etc), people get mad! I gave the sequel 2 goes in the cinema and I felt underwhelmed both times. Other than the opening scene (which was written for the original by the way) I just did not like it as much as the first movie. I can't lie. I could go in to why I don't like the 2nd film, but I would only bore you. Not taking anything away from your enjoyment though, it's only this man's opinion. My point wasn't that though. Let's face it, the movie could of gone tits up, been a disaster and been considered as such. That would of been Villeneuve done with big budgets for a while. He still took the project on despite the expectation and hats off for having the stones to do that. It will of won him a few favors too and that can only be good for him in the future.
The best director to come out last few years. If his name was more easily pronounced by western audiences, he’d be a household name.
Ah! Langage!
May be villeneuve is the aliens :O
That, and also if he were more into doing the tedious promotional side of moviemaking. He's been pretty open about his dislike for doing interviews and such and that he just has a passion for making movies
You mean by English speaking audiences his most recent films cater to. Denis Villeneuve is from the Occident himself (Québec, in Canada).
i have complete faith in villeneuve to be able to tackle a 'dune' adaptation, he's got those old school sci-fi sensibilities you rarely see nowadays.
You weren't wrong. He knocked it out of the park.
My wife likes this movie for sole reason, its the only time she saw me cry. Beautiful film and my introduction to Denis Villeneuve and worth of his artistic status.
I was a late arrival (ha) to this, but undoubtedly one of the best Sci-fi films I've seen since Kubrick. Brilliant sound, cinematography, cast and of course, direction.
Such a marvelous film analysis channel. Not your opinion, but the directors voice. Also shows probaply arduous ammounts of material you've gone through. Respect!
Thank you :) I hope these help everyone to discover how much there is out there to learn from these directors
I feel like this film and Bladerunner 2049 were for him, warm ups, in trying his had in Si-Fi before setting his sites on Dune.
5:13 This was like a constant feeling throughout the movie. I'm glad he was relieved the audience embraced it. Like Louise does at the end of Arrival.
I legit thought this was a video made ages ago because that's how definitive it is. What you're doing here actually has an air of timelessness, and I'm not even bullshitting you.
Thanks so much :) I hope each video can match the timeless of the knowledge we can learn from the films they cover
I don't french but Villeneuve is a supernova of a director
I subscribed to you yesterday and you release a video about my favorite director today, I’m a fan forever now
Hahah yes! Great timing. Welcome, by the way. I'm happy you've found the channel
Why is the video showing up on Bart&Geo: The Beaws playlist?
wondering the exact same thing...
exactly
Haha it must have been a mistake, but I'm glad they liked the video!
Arrival is one of the most wonderfull SF movies I have ever seen. And the only one that made me cry. Just beautiful.
best film of 2016, too bad la la land and moonlight soak up all the attention.
arrival is amazing, but those two movies are great aswell. 2016 was a crazy good year for film
Same injustice on 2014, where Interestellar recived only 1 Óscar, and Birdman has all reflectors
feel you on lalaland... moonlight deserves the attention though
I mean it was still nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars and won numerous awards. Moonlight deserved it's win though. But arrival was also great. 2016 was honestly a stacked year for movies.
@@YourMazzter1 never saw moonlight or la la land but should point something that stayed under the track of many people: "silence", Martin Scorsese was realesed in 2016 and is probably his best movie... well, it's my all time favorite movie. Scorsese is my fav alive director followed by Terrence Malick and villanueve... if you get a chance to see it, don't waste it! You will not regret. It can be not just a 2016 best movie but your lifes best movie..
This guy is a modern genius
Love denis Villeneuve
This channel is a goldmine, thank you a lot for your work!
I’m so fucking happy that this guy is making Dune.
This channel is such a gem. Binged all of your videos before production on my latest short and found it really comforting. You deserve more subscribers.
Thank you! :) It makes me happy to know the videos are providing that for someone. I'm extremely grateful for the attention the channel has gotten already and look forward to bringing more directors to light
Yes!!! I’ve been waiting! Thank you!
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR A VILLENEUVE VIDEO🙏🏼
It was so much fun to make. I didn't realize how much I'd enjoy listening to him
Love these so much! Please keep them up!
Thanks, Micah!
I would love to see Denis Villeneuve direct a film adaption of the Three Body trilogy books - seeing Arrival, I feel he would really help it shine in the movie format.
Thank you for taking the time to educate us. It's a worthy project & channel. :)
Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos! I'm really happy to have found something to create that can inform so many people
10:32 - 10:55
Fantastic point of view and driving force that clearly showed in the film. Denis would make a great spiritual leader. Lol
In a way, he is, isn’t he?
Films have offered me my only spiritual connection. It’s high art and preaches more truth in the movies timespan than I’ve ever beheld growing up in Xtian churches.
It’s a very religious feeling when your life is changed after viewing a movie.
So love this. Thank you for posting
Thanks for watching!
Well put together, great work buddy.
Thanks!
I LOVED THIS MOVIE. a truely endless movie....glad we have this videos, merci bou coup
Je t'en prie
Ultimately, filmmaking isn’t a Director’s art. It’s an Editor’s art. Directors capture, but Editors BUILD the movie from all of the parts. I hope we see more discussions with Editors, and why they make the creative choices THEY do.
But the director is what they called the "Boss" of the film, and Yes the editors and other vfx artist etc also a huge part of the film, but I think the Director is more important, and the director arts is not filmmaking? then why these directors such as Nolan, Scorsese, etc called Filmmaker?
perfect! i just rewatched it yesterday
I re-watched it during the process of creating this video and found that I enjoyed it even more a second time through
I can't wait for DUNE!!
Thanks for sharing! This is awesome!
Dam! I could listen to this guy all day!
Same here! I'm hoping to do a Prisoners video as well so you'll hear from him again then
truly awesome video guys!
Thanks!
Villeneuve is my fucking JAM. The only reason I am still a movie goer.
True masterpiece ! Bravo monsieur Villeneuve et merci BEAUCOUP
Absolutely loved this movie...and the MUSIC was fabulous
love your videos. please keep making
So glad you like them! I will!
This is the kind of channel that will soon be used on film classes. Thank you so much and keep up the good work(:
P.s.: please do Jordan Peele's Get Out and Barry Jenkins' Moonlight!
Thank you so much, Lucas! And great suggestions
I freaking love Denis. He is one of the few directors working that has ascended to meet every occasion.
Aw, thank you guys for this awesome birthday present.
I don't know if you did this video because I asked for it, but I'm glad you did ! :D
I did actually! You and a few others requested Arrival or anything by Denis. I also enjoyed watching the film myself and thought we could all learn something from his process with filmmaking
I love these so much
Glad you're enjoying them :) They're such a joy to put together
In some way, it’s very relaxing hearing this man speaking
Art isnt a woo woo concept!! Arrivals itself is beautiful. It is no surprise how much effort Villeneuve and his cast did behind the scenes to create such a masterpiece. At the same time - it is fascinating to see how art in motion is created when you dont expect it movies.
This is simply one of the greatest movies I've ever seen on my entire existance, and I've watch a lot of movies so far, Arrival together with Interstellar and Gladiator are the greatest movies I"ve ever watched.
I should totally work with Denis. I'm a huge PITA when I love an idea.
this movie is amazing!!
Love this movie. In the top 10 movies of the last 20 yrs for sure.
YES
WOW I can tell this is a great movie!!!
Villeneuve, the Stanley Kubrick of our time
He is the first Villenue. Dont have to compare new film makers to old.
@@devilsadvocate4081 chill dude he only compared them with reverence.You can understand by how congruously genius their science fiction works are.
You can feel his love of Dune pulsate through this movie
brilliant!
These videos are awesome. So much work and research damn.
I think your videos would benefit from a stronger approach to your titles and thumbnails. A lot of video essayists are using the thumbnail as almost an alternate title, and I think it's really effective. Gives the viewer as much information as possible to draw you in. Most people aren't familiar with directors, they're familiar with titles and actors. I think that if, while you edit, finding some kind of motif to work around and then using that as a title, for example, if a large focus of Denis Villeneuve was being faithful to the screenplay, the title could be: "Arrival--Artistic Liberty and Staying True to the Screenplay" and then your thumbnail would be "How Villeneuve directed Arrival" or vice versa.
But anyway. Great vid. Video essayists are my favorite youtube channels atm. Great work!
Firstly, thank you so much for watching the videos :) The work and research is 100% worth it.
I do want to develop stronger thumbnails and titles to further set apart this channel from others. I also agree that the alternate thumbnail title can work extremely well and will continue to think on how to improve my own while still keeping them true to the content of the video. Since this channel is a bit different from a film essayist channel, I still want to keep a hard line between a more eye catching title and who the video is actually being narrated by, which may be helped by the alternate thumbnail. I will continue to think on this and see what works.
I really appreciate you taking the time to offer advice. It definitely helps to see!

@@oakiearkie Thanks for letting me know. I have actually changed those titles since then because I realized they could be seen as misleading.
@@Jilloms You do have a point there-- with you yourself not narrating. You're compiling footage as opposed to coming in trying to expand on a concept. Hm. Well good luck! I'll watch either way :)
beautiful movie
My mother was the script on that movie ( not the screen writer) she was the one who corrected errors with the actors clothing between scenes and she also corrected the script at places. I am also from Quebec province like Denis Villeneuve. French is my first language.
I don't really know what she did on the movie because i am not interested in movies for now, more looking towards biology.
Oh Wow, lucky mother! What a unique movie to contribute to. I believe they call her position Continuity....
reddfraser2 I asked her and you are right :), but it can be called both script supervisor or continuity supervisor.
What a lucky person you are! Thanks for sharing. And in case you haven’t, please watch his first film Polytechnique based on the tragedy that happened at a college in Canada.
I absolutely ADORE this movie. It’s stunning well-written, acted, and directed, and the VFX are pristine. I would even argue that it helped me get through the pandemic, as I watched it multiple times during that period. So it’s heartbreaking to hear a Director whom I DEEPLY respect, diminish the importance of the very kind of work that I, and many of my friends engage in, within the movie industry.
You are curious, your editing is great but moreover we can see that you are a visual designer, most likely.
Keep em up.
I can't wait for Dune
My fave 3 sci-fi would be Solaris, Arrival and Contact.
I think there is some similarity between the last two.
The 'circular cuniform' is a genius-level idea.
Yeeees!
I'd like to take some comments of Denis Villeneuve from this video for a paper. Is this the main source or the director's comments? Or this video is taken from another place?
i love you
Waiting for DUNE..
Have you ever thought about doing a video about Andrei Tarkovsky?
Yes! I've had a couple of people request him. One person has specifically requested Stalker
shoutout to Oumuamua!
This movie is impossible without VFX artists. I wish Directors would stop badmouthing the entire post-production department. And FYI, “practical effects” are VFX. There is no movie out there, which fails to use both, in collaboration with each other. IDK what the heck is going on with the DGA and the studios, but they need to stop with this diminishment of more than HALF their staff. It typically takes THOUSANDS of visual effects artists to pull off these movies, and they deserve respect for having delivered 11 of the top 12 grossing films of all time, that could not have been achieved any other way.
I'm in this movie.
DOOOOONNNNNN Let me see it. Let me see it now.
I hope this very talented director will not become the next Stephen Soderberg. One great film - PRISONERS - one flop - ENEMY - top: SICARIO - flop: ARRIVAL ... P. and S. are such great, realistic, gritty, intense movies. Please stay in this venue, Denis!
Beautiful movie 🍿🍿🍿🍿♥️🇨🇦🌏🇺🇦
The best alien movie ever
Magnum opus.
why is this on bart and geos channel
No idea! But I'm happy they enjoyed the video!
The directing was amazing but understanding the alien language narrative was not developed enough. It was resolved in a quick montage. Such a shame...
Ryder E yeah but take a moment to read A topiary screenplay from Shane Carruth. There a group of people try all their lives to decrypt alien language. Now that is accurate, not like in Arrival- where it’s resolved in the middle of the movie...
yuman bean
Just like Christopher Nolan, he he hates green screens and tries to use it as little as possible
After watching the video of the guy who wrote this movie, I feel like Denis is taking A LOT of the credit for some of the greatest aspects of this film.
It’s discomforting.
Welcome to showbiz.
