Masterpiece performance in Arrival (spoiler)


Masterpiece performance in Arrival.
A return to the form of Hurt Locker.
One question I have.
Does Banks have only one child, who passes away?
Or does she have a new child with Donnelly,I who lives.
I could not distinguish one or two children.
Thanks.

davidthomsonfineart,


One child fathered by Renner's character who dies- in the short story the child was 25 I think from a rock climbing incident - its been awhile since I read it
in the film it appears she dies from cancer at a much younger age

She was seeing the future where she married him and had a child, who later died of cancer. The way the time things were done could be confusing to some.
