If Aliens came to Earth, would we not have as much of a language chellenge as they would do with us? Also like in Mars Attacks how would we know that we aren't saying lets go to War?

For those who haven’t, please consider reading the short story on which it is based by Ted Chiang.

Villeneuve made a number of changes, but there is one in particular that may (or may not) reframe your perception of a character in a notable way. Also, read everything else by Ted Chiang!

There are also a number of popular media articles on how the language piece was developed for depiction on screen.
