Liberal arts students cannot understand "Arrival", and science students cannot understand "Annihilation."

The atmosphere is very good, the soundtrack is blessed, and the third act raises the score; it is closer to the "zone" of "Stalker", the mirror area that can reflect material, the base of higher dimensional form, the infinite division and phagocytosis of cells, which are highlighted at the beginning The implication is that from the microscopic level of the human body to the magnificent vision, the fission and recombination of genes creates a virus-like weird evil spirit that makes people fearful; the remorse knot in the flashback is another mirror image of the desire to annihilate and rebirth.

[the team kill an alligator & examine it's mouth]
Lena: Lena: Whoa. It's exactly the same as the flowers. Look at the teeth. Concentric rows. Something here is making giant waves in the gene pool.
[the paramedic, Anya, holds the alligator's mouth open. She has no tattoo on her arm]
Cass Sheppard: Sharks have teeth like that, don't they?
Dr Ventress: Do you think it's a crossbreed?
Lena: You can't crossbreed between different species.
Anya Thorensen: Lena, this is getting heavy.
[Later in the movie, Anya has acquired the tattoo]

Lena: The mutations were subtle at 1st; more extreme as we got closer to the lighthouse. Corruptions of form. Duplicates of form.
Lomax: Duplicates?
Lena: [She looks at the tattoo on her arm & lifts her arm up] Echoes.
Lomax: Is it possible these were hallucinations?
Lena: I wondered that myself... but they were shared among all of us. It was dreamlike.
Lomax: Nightmarish?
Lena: Not always. Sometimes it was beautiful.
[the movie then cuts back in time to show beautiful translucent single-tailed wormfish swimming alongside double-tailed duplicates. Lena is in a canoe on a swamp located quite near to a corpse that bears the same tattoo as Lena]
Lena: Oww. Ow.
[She clutches her arm - there is no tattoo yet. However, a dark blue mark has appeared at the same place on her arm]
Cass Sheppard: You're hurt?
Lena: It's just a bruise. I must have gotten that from the gator.
