<p dir="auto">I read somewhere that Louise was chosen because she was "Humble" enough to be given the gift of understanding the heptapods' language but isn't she supposed to teach it to everyone regardless whether your humble or not so why does it have to be her? Why didn't the heptapods just summon anyone from the 12 different locations and teach them their advance language and spare everybody's time.<br />
And one more thing Clairvoyance or whatever you might wanna call it, this new ability will render all sorts of consequences for humanity one of which I think is Laziness or Unproductivity I mean it's like Would you still go to work if you knew you'll get fired two days from now, obviously NO you will slack and stay home hence the reason why you'll get fired two days from now. The problem is that not everyone can be as positive as Louise just look at Ian, he left after knowing the future of their daughter.<br />
Also what is up with the title? We didn't even see their Arrival.</p>

<p dir="auto">So many questions!<br />
It's difficult to learn anything new without humility. The newer and stranger, more humility. And I don't think she was ready to teach (and don't we see her teaching later, and publishing a book?) until she had really learned it.</p>
<pre><code>Imagine that.</code></pre>

<p dir="auto">I think you have a crossed wire somewhere.<br />
It is clear from the plot that people at the other locations are trying to decode the language as well - hence the sequence about "offer weapon" v "use weapon", the other nations breaking off communication and the Russians assassinating their language expert.</p>

<p dir="auto">I didn't know the book title was different but I can totally see why Story of Your Life won't work as a sci fi movie title I was thinking something like "Advent"</p>

<p dir="auto">The title was supposed to match the one for the source material, "Story of Your Life." It was changed because the producers thought they'd make more money overplaying the Aliens aspect. I think they thought that people would think it was another alien invasion blockbuster (when it is anything but).<br />
I find the title to be a betrayal of the source material, which is by the way far superior to the movie.<br />

<p dir="auto">Perhaps the title had more meaning of where Louise ended up rather than the aliens arriving.</p>
