Blade Runner 2049 - Talk Thread - includes spoilers
Mods -- please move this to "Latest Horror Movies" forum. Sorry bout that.

A buddy of mine said he liked the narration of the original Blade Runner Theatrical Cut, which provided great tracking using the Film Noir technique, the perspective of the agent (Harrison Ford). I like both cuts, but I agree with him. For enjoyment, a film shouldn't have too light a touch with an existential theme unless the film is saying something new or strongly stating an opinion.

So who/what was the 'man' with the shiny eyes, apparently the head of the replicant company? Was he a replicant? What were his goals?

The general sci-fi theme, I think, is 'what is it to be human?'
An additional theme is using replicants (biorobotic android) as a symbol for how we treat other humans... Because seriously, the human race has better things to do than worry about how we might treat AI (artificial intelligence) in the future -- namely how we treat other humans today, which is severely lacking. We don't even know how we'd recognize if the AI was "conscious", as AI techs are simply trying to simulate it... the goal is to fool ourselves into thinking the AI is conscious, when humans are so anthropomorphic to begin with... a notable conflict of interest. Not to mention we haven't really come to a conclusion as to what human consciousness is yet. Last edited by Sculpt; 10-11-2017 at 06:18 PM. |

Well I've only heard good things about this movie but the reviewer I was listening to was at a loss as to why it opened poorly here. We had our thanksgiving this weekend and also it's supposed to run at over 2 and a half hours!

It's being received like it's predecessor... very cool special effects, but deeply sci-fi and 'reflective'. I'd imagine a ton of folk are expecting a "Star Wars", but both are really highbrow. Last edited by Sculpt; 10-11-2017 at 06:24 PM. |
