As the global tension intensifies, some countries decide to stop working together and take an aggressive turn against the visitors. In the meantime, things gets worse globally when one of the sites gets a message “Use weapon” due to which China decides to attack the spacecraft. Time is circular as far as they are concerned. Owing to the dire circumstances, the US team decides to evacuate from the area. More importantly, their language has a nonlinear orthographic script which means that their sentences are not written linearly from one end to the other like we do in every language known to mankind.When the heptapods write their logograms, they do it almost instantly (writes every part of it simultaneously) showing how they know where exactly the “sentence” would end and how much space is required in between words. When Louise returns with this epiphany, she envisions her distant future where she has managed to unite everybody, and has written books on Heptapods and stuff. If they sought to punish planet earth, they would have already done it. The fact that it wasn’t flashbacks that she has been seeing is revealed to the audience when Louise asks “Who is this girl?” about her daughter in the visions. If the heptapods were as dumb as human beings, this could easily have been the Sarajevo incident that instantly led to a destructive inter-species war. After making first contact with the aliens, Ian finds himself increasingly persuaded by Louise’s linguistic gifts, naming the Heptapods after the legendary comic duo, Abbott and Costello.
That was just a narrative tool used by the writer to lead the audience into believing that every upcoming visions are flashbacks. As the film's promotional posters and every onscreen member of the armed services ask, "After the death of Abbott (which Costello describes as "A longtime Screen Rant contributor, Jared Canfield is an actor and writer based in New York City. Despite landing in a group of twelve, the alien spacecraft leave no emissions or radioactive signs of inter-communication between ships. Because the Heptapods perceive time non-linearly, their language becomes an increasingly difficult lexicon to crack.
So, as Louise learns the heptapod language, she becomes capable of seeing the future and that capability is the gift to the humans that will eventually allow the mankind to help the heptapods in 3000 years. To a perplexed Louise, he gives his phone number and his wife’s final words. Also, they are here to equip humanity because they require help from mankind in 3000 years.Once she comes back to the camp, Louise has a vision from the near future (18 months later) when she meets the Chinese General Shang at a function. So, once you realize that every “flashback” we have seen are, in fact, from the future, the only major question left is why Louise is capable of seeing the future.In one of the scenes, Louise and Ian talk about how proficiency in a particular language can affect the way one thinks. There is no beginning or end. By Adam James / Sept. 21, 2017 9:55 am EDT / Updated: Feb. 14, 2018 5:24 pm EDT. When not overwhelmed by the sprawling library of modern content, you can find him watching anything from Mad Men to Westworld, Kenneth Branagh’s Hamlet to Caddyshack, and Dead Poet’s Society to the vastly underrated Polka King (it’s on Netflix). So, they are capable of seeing the future (as we know it), which can be attributed to be an effect of the circular nature of their language. Yes, the language is the weapon!The biggest revelation of the movie is when you realize that the apparent flashbacks of her daughter we have been seeing throughout the movie are actually flash-forwards or visions from the future. Arrival is one of the best science fiction films of the decade. Louise tries to calm everyone down by pointing out how the heptapods might not be able to differentiate between the words ‘tool’ and ‘weapon’ , to no avail. Fortunately, they weren’t.

Arrival is one of the best science fiction films of the decade. In the present, soon after the vision, Louise uses a satellite phone to contact General Shang and tells him his wife’s last words whose English translation is basically “In war there are no winners, only widows.”Finally, the general calls off the attack, heptapods leave the planet and the global crisis is averted.
