I read this stuff casually and I was generally familiar with the theories in both Arrival and Interstellar, but I couldn’t make heads or tails of either when I watched the movies. I completely missed what they were pointing at in Interstellar and thought they butchered the idea that Amy Adams was caught in her own frame of how she understood her experience of time.
I am sure that’s my problem, but I truly wonder how anyone was supposed to appreciate the movies without internalizing the critical theories
Very happy to see my notion shared on this platform.
“But the science”
Miss me with that bullshit, you don’t get to tote how “scientifically accurate” something is in the first half (it wasn’t) and then get time travel/self recurrence in the second half.
It was just a bad movie with high production value, if I want that I’ll watch moonfall.
Sapir-Whorf always fascinated me when I first read about it in philosophy class

Interstellar was terrible.
