We follow Dr. Louise Banks and her life after seemingly losing her daughter to a serious disease. In this short essay, we will point out different aspects of the film, some included in the commentaries in the clips shown before and some not, that realize some key points that Deleuze hinted to us but also give us more simplistic conceptions of the influence that time has on art and our perception of life. The film has now become a large centerpiece for philosophical and linguistic repertoires inside of Cinema. The beginning montage leads the audience to believe that the daughter of Louise had died and that we were there after seeing her role as a professor and linguist coming to terms with her daughter's death. We are led to believe that this movie was going to be about how even after her daughter’s death, her memory still lives on. In a surprise to many, as we uncover gradually throughout the film, Louise was receiving– or we were receiving– visions of the future due to her heightened ability to recognize the influence of language within her life. So, as Louise figures it out and begins to learn the language of the aliens, she becomes more and more able to see the future.</h4>

 <p>Recently, I have done work on digital art and authenticity, using work by Linda Hutcheon and Gilles Deleuze to look into whether the digitization of art, both born-digital and physical-turned-digital, carries the same essence and humanity that we see in traditional forms of art like painting or literature.</p>
 
-<p>When I am not forced by society’s pressure in my mind to create things like websites for my academic career, I love watching movies (specifically going to the movie theater), reading (only gay classic fiction), and talking to myself (I get lost). I’m trying desperately hard to think if there is anything else beyond this sad attempt at humor that best describes me, but I think that’s about it. I also have an unrelated obsession with wind and circles.</p>

-<p>In case you are dying to know, my favorite movies are Arrival (2016), her (2014), God’s Own Country (2017), The Power of the Dog (2021), and The Red Shoes (1948). My favorite recent film is probably TAR (2022). My favorite books include <i>Giovanni’s Room</i> by James Baldwin, <i>The Moon is Down</i> by John Steinbeck, <i>My Heart is a Lonely Hunter</i> by Carson McCullers, and <i>A Boy’s Own Story</i> by Edmund White. Though, I am currently reading <i>In Search of Lost Time</i> by Marcel Proust and I would consider it my favorite of all time (so far). As for music, I like anything Imogen Heap or Adele.</p>

My favorite recent film is probably TAR (2022). The scriptures I keep close in my bag are Whitman and Proust. As for music, I grew up on everything Adele, keeping her songs at the tip of my mouth, and, as a violinist, I have kept Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto and Bach’s Partita no. 2 close, respectively, to my hands. And I couldn’t forget Elgar, who, it seems, is where my mind often wanders.</p>
