    Back in the day, when the sequel was announced my first thought was: 'oh no, please dont touch the legend'.
    But when the movie was released i came to cinema and it was like 'holy shit, its masterpiece'. Both of them are legends.

      Sadly, people don’t like art. They want to turn their brains off and enjoy bright colors and what not. It’s really sad that transformative art is being snubbed in favor of everyone’s attention spans being so short.

      @Karin_Allen 3 года назад +3

      Exactly! I keep hoping for the day when Blade Runner 2049 will achieve the same level of cult status as the original, but I don't know if or when that will happen - or even how I'd know if/when *did* happen. But it really is a masterpiece and deserves every bit of praise it's given.

      @@Karin_Allen I actually liked the second one better. The joi thing that @Spikima Movies mentioned really fucked up my brain. The design of the city and also the mere atmosphere seemed way more intriguing than the first one.

    That intro with the "THE HANDS THAT SPEAK" fade right at the end of the sentence was really something, not to mention the right pauses in the commentary and the timing of its reprise.

    I really enjoyed this, well editing and very interesting analysis. I LOVE Blade Runner/ 2049 and this definitely had a few analytical topics I hadn't considered or seen elsewhere, I especially loved the comparison of K *feeling* the snow vs Anna who makes the same gesture but cannot feel it, vs Joi who pretends she can feel it, and how this all comes back to hands and expression of will within the world. Love it, great job.

  • @lamnguyenxuan9315
    @lamnguyenxuan9315 2 года назад +3

    Thanks for this essai, really enjoyed it 😊😊 I made the same conclusion with the hands, which for me are continuation of the eye motif in the first blade runner.
    It's funny because for me the color orange/yellow doesn't represent life, but the exact opposite (death/souless). Instead, i think life is represented by the colour blue.
    I have a couple of clips to back up my point : in vegas, as Joe is analysing the place, the colour of the car monitor turns blue just as he says the word "life" ans the bees are found. The scene in the theater with the Elvis song, when they stop fighting and deckard says "i like this song", is shot with blue Lights (in contrast with the orange of dead Vegas). Back in LA, when he meets the giant Joy commercial, it reminds him of the true moments he had with Joy and this is when he decides to avenge her/save deckard. At that precise moment, his head is completely in blue and this represents his birth as a feeling entity (his head is full of blood as he was actually born).
    The believe that you need to be born to have a soul is false : it doesent matter how you were created. What matters are the choices you make in life, the memories you make through living and the cause you are ready to die for (sapper, joe, Joy, all die for their right cause). You will find the coulour orange where false statement is made : is in his superior office ("to be born is to have a soul" - "you've be fine without one" / its also where his superior is killed), in Wallace corporation (Wallace is eager to find the way to make pregnant replicants), in Vegas( which is completely empty and where Joe thinks hes going to meet his father), in the cake/candle memory creation scene (which is fake).
    Anyway this is only my interprétation 😊😊

  • @SzymonAdamus
    @SzymonAdamus 3 года назад +3

    Makes you wonder how much of this allegory was planed and thought out by the director, how much is our interpretation and over interpretation and finally - does it really matter?
    Is the film or any other text of culture a puzzle with just a one solution known best to the author and waiting to be discovered by the participant, or is it a unsolvable mystery where every piece of the puzzle is not made to create a bigger picture, but to be the picture on it’s own.
    Of course at the end it does not really matter. The film, book, game etc. is what we feel it is. But it’s interesting to observe how a complex, multi-layerd piece of art can inspire different interpretations and emotions in different people. Even with a such a minor detail as a hand or a single color.
    Thanks for the great essay.

    What an interesting idea to focus on with Blade Runner 2049: hands! I never thought of *them* as an important symbol, but I see exactly what you mean.
    I also want to add that Blade Runner 2049 raises so many questions about what it means to be human - and how much free will each of the major characters posses - that you could make at least three more videos analyzing different aspects of this movie. I realize you almost certainly won't revisit it, but if you did, I'd watch the heck out of every one of them and cheer you on from start to finish! Blade Runner 2049 is every bit as deserving of cult status as the original, and I hope it achieves that status one day.

    I know im probably way off. but i always had a feeling the movie is giving us a kind of unreliable narrator deal with the bubble girl being deckards daughter. Like, I always had this strong suspicion that the whole replicant alliance group essentially mislead K to subsequently mislead groups in-universe that might be after them. Mariette is actually Deckards daughter and her communion with K was the generational passing of the torch. I'd have to watch it more to see if there is more to support this theory.

  • @yidingliu8663
    @yidingliu8663 10 месяцев назад

    Good, finally someone talking about Joi being real.
    The first film made a point with all the testing that 'if you can't tell the difference, then how can you be sure the replicants are not real?' The answer is that they are real. There is not inflection point of intelligence that made us sacred. If they feel the same for one, then they are the same to one, replicants or born people.
    Joi was real by this very standard. At very least, Joi's love was real for K. This love was no less real than Rachael.
    The very famous scene of K realising Joi was not really loving him was a big issue for me because of this.

    Of the five human senses, I guess touch is the most difficult to duplicate by robots or AI, so this hands thematic is on point.
    Alas, the easiest to fool are the two we most rely on: sight and sound.
    I watched 2049 again last night, I was so worried about it being an absolute fan of the original since I watched it three times back to back in the theater when that was actually possible, transfixed. I was 15.
    I deeply respect Villeneuve for being so humble approaching this material (interviews), to the point I will watch his Dune, an IP I am old enough to actually despise 🤭

    Just found your channel with the David Lynch Jump-Scare from Mulholland Dr. Review. I think I'll stick around for a while on your channel...especially seeing 2049 in the playlist. I may unsubscribe after I watch this video however. BladeRunner 2049 was a perfect film (imo). And the original Bladerunner, being cinematic gold! I thought Villeneuve was biting off more than he could chew. Has "shitting ones pants" ever been written in a movie review? Well, yes, I soiled me trousers :)....and well worth it. 2049 was perfection; nothing could have been better. And now I hear Villeneuve is tinkering with DUNE? My favorite book ever written and I did love the Lynch version (all of the versions) in 84"...the dreamy, on screen thought and dreams. The inner dialogue. Yes, some of Lynch's stuff was weird and out of the box....but thats Lynch!!! If you hire Lynch to produce, write or direct a film.....what else can one possibly expect?

    Now I want to see the 4 hour version of Blade Runner 2049 on Netflix, broken into chapters. Tarantino did with great effect (in my opinion) with The Hateful Eight. Tarantino has teased a similar 4 hour chapterized version of Once Upon A Time in Hollywood release on Netflix, which would be amazing. While I'm at it, can I dream of a 4-5 hour version of David Lynch's Dune, which started out so promising but turned into a muddled mess in the second half.

    한 몇 년 전에 TV에서 블레이드 러너 2049가 나오길래 도전했다가 지극히 느린 흐름을 견디지 못하고 탈주했던 기억이 있었어요ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ영화의 폭과 깊이를 잘 헤아리지 못했던 때라 그 뒤로는 손도 안 대야지 하고 마음 먹고 있었는데, 이 영상 본 후에 다시 중후반부만 봤는데 정말 다르게 보이더라고요. 특히 강렬한 주황빛이 감도는 노란색이 갖는 의미를 설명하는 부분이 제일 와닿았습니다. K가 떨어지는 눈을 향해 손을 뻗는 것도 처음에는 의심이었다가 후에는 확인의 행위라는 것도요. 정말 인간적인 작품이구나 싶어서 곧 다시 제대로 보려고 해요. 덕분에 또 명작을 뒤늦게라도 알아볼 수 있었네요. 양질의 영상 감사합니다:D!
    그리고 영상 보면서 비슷하게 떠올랐던 작품인데 혹시 알리 아바시 감독의 을 보셨다면 나중에라도 리뷰 영상을 제작해주실 수 있나요? 작가 욘 아이비데 린드비스크의 원작을 바탕으로 한 오드판타지 영화인데 이 영화처럼 인간다움에 대해서 다뤘고, 또 개인적으로는 정말로 애정하는 작품이라 스피키마 님의 시선으로 한 번 더 감상하고 싶습니다. (진짜 좋아해서 번역도 안 된 원작까지 구매해서 읽었어요...근데 원작보다는 영화가 더 잘 만들어진 것 같아요;3)
