# Story of Your Life
Arrival is one of my top films - it portrayed beautifully the challenge of from-scratch language learning that we all take for granted, each of us speaking natively a language which must have been learned. Story of Your Life talks of the same language learning, but the story's focal theme is time. That humans experience causes followed by effects naturally drives them to ask the heptapods why they're here, to identify their motive, as we might any stranger. But the heptapods just don't experience effects as having necessarily caused by anything, making them not unwilling, but apparently incapable of responding in any meaningful way.
