I was expecting a generic alien invasion movie, and I was pleasantly surprised

Sapir-Whorf always fascinated me when I first read about it in philosophy class

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
