From their perspective, we're the idiots.

I have an IQ over 180, joined MENSA age 5. People say I talk really fast but lerlert me tell you, I think way ahead of my speech.

>>79068207
People in MENSA (such as myself) know that you're supposed to spell out numbers lower then 10 instead of using numerals. Fake MENSA pleb, stay dumb.

is this from prometheus

Let me guess, you were too fast for high school and ended up directly at McDonald's?

Arrival is part of a recent series of movies I'd describe as Dunning-Kruger Sci-Fi. Along with Interstellar and to a somewhat lesser extent The Martian, they perfectly play to the crowd that fancies themselves as (and, to be fair, may truly be) smarter than average audiences but are not as smart as genuinely "smart people." They are movies designed to make the audience feel smart by introducing complicated and heady concepts, and then holding the viewer's hand the entire way through until there is next to nothing to be left up to interpretation.

If you didn't already know the twist in Arrival by the time she was in the milky section of the ship with the aliens AT LEAST, you perfectly fit the audience I am talking about.

There is no reward for being smart while viewing these movies because everything is eventually spelled out in big fridge magnet letters. Any clever idea is made so transparent that even the most simple in the audience will get it. It also removes any reward for rewatching or trying to figure out what you just saw.

Granted, there is a difference between Arrival and Interstellar. I think where Interstellar was pretending to have a brain it actually didn't have, Arrival has a brain that it is refusing to let the audience use.

Completely disappointing movie.

How do we know about that "death process"? I've watched the scene again and there is no translation, only Louise saying "I'm sorry".

I feel at a loss, so brilliant is this film. Villeneuve is a writer, a philosopher; and while an excellent filmmaker, his greatness lies in his writing; and "Arrival" is his paradigm. This film is a metafictional study of the artist's judgement in the creation of his fictional world; of how an artist can attempt to remake life -- even his own -- thru his art, even as he cannot escape the knowledge that, no matter how he involves himself in his story, it is still fiction and he is still outside of his remade world, still burdened with its unreality and the reality of the life he has tried to artistically remake. And magically, all of this is not to the smallest degree at the expense of a wonderful story about the mysteries of love and fate and the characters who live out this story, this pre-judged destiny. If I had to choose, I might nominate this the greatest film ever made.

What if I knew the twist because I read it on /tv/? What calibre of intelligens does that put me at

it is theorized that brains stops working for a half of a second and you just remember the last thing it experienced and you think it happened before like some long time ago, while it only happened before the quick restart of the brain

>>79068515
It's not even fake smart, it's just a FAMILY MOVIE with science as the setting. They don't discuss linguistics really at all, the only thing they have is a brief (fake) anecdote about Australia and Kangaroos.

There's nothing really wrong with this (it's kind of like having a 'steampunk' romance movie or something, people aren't going into it because they want to know about the science of fluid pressure and the amount of energy required to convert water into steam) but the marketing was all wrong. They sold it all wrong.

This is the dumbest theory I've read in the past 5 years on the entire internet. Fucking kill yourself.

What are the benefits of mensa?

Will it help me get laid? Like if I showed my card to some chick at the bar, would she be into it?

>>79069601
this
my mom liked it

and it's not a bad thing to have movies like this, it's just that Villeneuve can do so much better if they just let him

If time is non-linear for the squids, they knew that Abbot would die in the mission before they even came

Also dying maybe matters less to them because they can still talk to squids who are dead, since nonlinear time?

Nothing. MENSA is a circlejerk. "Oh we're sooo intelligent so we fall for the socialism meme." If you never hated reddit before, you'll hate it after a MENSA meetup.

>>79068515
I know it's pasta, but I figured shit would be wonky when she started talking about memories. Then she mentioned that one theory about language and I knew it would be heading to some "We are the one people one love senpai" bullshit. I saw the language was circles and pretty much put it together there. The last half of the movie felt unnecessary for me. When she got to the chinese part, I was just waiting for it to end.

>>79069685
Desu you're better off going to academic conferences in your field than a local MENSA meeting. Go relish the actual real research being done in whatever your specialization is by the top universities.

What's your MD/PHD in?
