Spoiler for Massive Spoiler Alert: So the Heptapods give Lousie the ability to see the future based on her empathy with them. The most obvious aspect is, of course, that she knows she's going to hook up with Ian, and choose to have a daughter who will die as a young adult due to cancer, and that Ian will leave her because of the decision she made on behalf of both of them. The other one that just sunk in is the whole General Shang bit. 18 months after the aliens leave, he goes to the unification gala specifically to meet Louise. He tells her about the phone call she made that changed his mind. She says, "I don't know your number". He then shows it to her and then whispers his wife's dying words in her ear, which she will repeat to him a year and a half earlier to de-escalate the world's tensions and ensure that planet earth will survive for 3,000 years and be able to help the Heptapods with their impending issues. MIND ****ING BLOWN. __________________ “The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be.”
