I just finished watching the film Arrival for a second time. It is a very thoughtful and imaginative film. A friend said it was slow, but that slowness is really a French influence. I looked up the director, Denis Villeneaue, and found that he is French Canadian. The author of the science fiction novella upon which the film is based, Ted Chiang, is Chinese American. His parents were born in China , he was born in New York state, and he made a nice contribution to our American culture with his story, Story of Your Life, upon which the movie was based.
Story of Your Life received the Best Novella of 1999 Nebula Award.
