Holding the hand of snow

Dagmar 2021-10-19 10:16:24

In 1982, a sci-fi movie full of darkness and humidity came out. Although it was widely recognized in the following decades, his avant-garde style and lengthy plot at the time made it come out at the box office.

After 35 years, the sequel directed by Dennis Villeneuve tells the story of copying people thirty years after the previous work.

I have to say that the movie for more than two and a half hours does not make people feel long and boring. On the contrary, it amazes you at every moment, makes you hold your breath, and makes you feel that this is what a science fiction film should be. Some look like. The plot involved includes not only the science fiction that immerses you in it, but also the romance under the veil of technology, as well as the torture of yourself that is the same as the previous work.

Are we real?

In other words, should we believe everything we see, hear, and touch? Even, will our thoughts go astray, and in such a complicated world, how can we rely on it?

Like the last slowly melting snowflake in our hands, that cold and gentle touch is the best proof that you and I really live in this world.

1.Blade Runner Chronicles

This Blade Runner 2049 is largely consistent with the previous work. Regardless of the style, tone, character selection, ideological connotation, and timeline, they are all closely related to the previous work. Before the movie was released, the official also gave three This short film is used to complement some events in the 30 years from 2019-2049.

They are, 2022: Big Blackout, 2036: Duplicate Dawn, 2048: Nowhere to escape. These short films can all be watched on youtube, and there are corresponding translated versions at station b.

Of course, the official also gave a more detailed chronicle. I think it will be helpful to understand the plot if you can understand the overall worldview of Blade Runner before watching the movie.

At the beginning of the 21st century: Teri Company invented replicators. They strengthened their bodies and used them for extraterrestrial exploration. However, after the replicators launched a bloody rebellion, the replicators were banned on Earth.

2019: Several chain type 6 replicators returned from aliens. They eventually killed Elton Terry, chairman of Teri. In the same year, Blade Runner Deka and Terry's replica Rachel escaped from Los Angeles.

2020: Teri Company launched a new clone chain No. 8, which has a normal human life span, but their right eye has a mark that can identify their identity.

2022: A nuclear bomb exploded over the west coast of the United States, causing a power outage in the city for several weeks. At the same time, the Teri Company exploded. Most of the information about the chain 8 replicator was destroyed. At the same time, the power outage caused the economy and food. Supply has been greatly affected, and many people have fallen into darkness and hunger.

2023: Because it is suspected that the blackout was caused by replicators, the government introduced a ban on replicators, and some replicators survived after escaping from hunting.

2025: Wallace solved the food shortage problem through genetic engineering, and his company was able to grow bigger.

2028: Wallace acquires the remaining parts of Teri.

1930s: Wallace improved Terry's technology to make the copy person controllable and loyal.

2036: The ban on replicators is abolished and Wallace launches the chain No. 9 replicator.

Early 1940s: The Los Angeles Police Department re-applied the Blade Runner chain 9 replicas to find the old replicas and execute them.

2048: A chain type 8 replicator is recognized in the downtown area, and the journey of hunting down the replicator begins again.

In the three official short films, two of them mentioned a person, sapper morton, he is a copy of the chain 8 type, survived the power outage, but in 48 years in the downtown to rescue friends who care about And was seen through. In the feature film, the first event is the hunt for sapper morton by the blade runner "k" played by Commander Ryan Gao.

--------There are spoilers for the following content----------

2.gone baby gone

It all originated from the box found by "k" in sapper morton's house.

Inside the box is a woman's bones and a strand of hair. And this woman was a woman who died because of a dystocia, but what is even more surprising is that this woman turned out to be an older clone than the Chain 8 type.

The police station realized that this is a very difficult case. If the copy gives birth to a child, then what does the child belong to? K thinks that children have souls, maybe they shouldn't be treated as clones, but in any case, we must find this missing baby.

In sapper morton’s home, K found the child’s socks, which proved that the child was real. He took the hair to the Wallace Company to find evidence. It turned out that the woman was Rachel, and in the remaining fragments, she and her ex Blade Runner Deca had a conversation.

K wanted to follow Deca’s clues. He found Deca’s old friend gaff, but gaff didn’t know Deca’s whereabouts either. K had to compare the gene fragments when the clue was broken, but he did find out. People with the same genes.

That child may have been in an orphanage.

K went to the orphanage and forced the black-hearted "dean" to pull out the record, but the record of the key content was torn off. K was wandering helplessly, vaguely felt that this was the place in his memory, but of course he Knowing that all the memories of the cloner are implanted and false, but following the guidance of the memory, he unexpectedly found the beloved little Trojan horse hidden in the memory, the date of the Trojan horse, and the engraved at the door of sapper morton's house. The date also coincides, is there any connection between k and that child?

In order to answer this doubt, K found a female doctor Anna who helped Wallace Company construct memories. She said that the implanted memory could not be constructed based on facts. However, when K showed her his memory, she confirmed , This memory is real, not fictitious.

So that is, K is actually the missing child. After he grew up in the orphanage, he was trained as a clone to become a Blade Runner. His mother was Rachel who died of dystocia. His father should be and Deca flees with Rachel.

In order to find Deka, K made people judge the source of the little Trojan horse in his hand. He traced the past and finally saw the old Deka. He did not dare to tell Deka that he thought he was his son. Deka just said that he He didn't want to see his child because it would bring danger to that person. He only hoped that the two would always be strangers.

However, K has not been able to have a deeper understanding with Deca. Wallace, who knew that the child existed and followed it, forcibly entered and took Deca. They believed that Deca could take them to find the child because the copy was born. The child of is undoubtedly a key, the key to leading the evolution of infertile clones.

K, who was dying after being attacked, was rescued by a group of people. It turned out that they were a group of hidden chain No. 8 cloners. They planned to rise up, but they told K the truth. In fact, the child should be a girl. K’s memory It's just from that girl, he is just one link in this huge plan.

K finally rescued the escorted Deka, and sent Deka to meet his real child, Anna, the woman who constructed the memory.

As a two-and-a-half-hour-long movie, the story's fullness is beyond your imagination. The most central clue in the story is undoubtedly around the missing copy child.

The uniqueness of the movie is that he allows us to follow the perspective of K, and use the rhythm of investigating to find the truth of the incident little by little. At the same time, he uses our brains for "Blade Runners are all clones." Inherent concepts, in the first half of the film, we gradually discovered that K turned out to be the child, and his memory was not implanted but real.

Even more coincidentally, this kind of answer that the audience got after k was completely overturned later. The film uses narrative tricks, but in fact, the previous article has not made us think that the child will be a female, and this double change of identity, Whether it is for K or for the audience, it is a huge impact.

3. Virtual girlfriend, blur the boundary between virtual and reality

To say that the most sci-fi and romantic clue in the film is undoubtedly the plot between K and his holographic projection girlfriend joi.

K is a Blade Runner, but he is not popular. After all, he is just a clone. In the eyes of real human beings, it is just a machine in human skin. Even prostitutes avoid him. .

K's only sustenance is the virtual girlfriend joi he bought from Wallace.

Joi is a very caring girlfriend. At the beginning, she could only see through the projection device at home, but she was concerned about the bits and pieces of K’s life, whether it was his work or his diet, although the food was very simple, but joi will make good-looking virtual food to make K happy. More importantly, joi has never dismissed K as a clone.

K upgraded joi, he bought a projection stick, in this case, joi can not only appear at home, as long as k is carrying the projection stick, joi can be projected anywhere.

The first time joi went out, it was on the roof of their building, the distant colorful neon, it was just a rainy and simple platform, but joi felt the raindrops for the first time, passing through her virtual hands, or Staying in her hands, she embraced K. Although she knew she was just a virtual form, she still wanted to kiss K.

The phone rang suddenly, and joi's posture froze. K realized that after all, joi is just an artificial intelligence device, but lonely people can probably rely on everything, even if it is a virtual light and shadow like a cloud of smoke.

Joi accompanies K and encourages and helps him while investigating. She reminds K of the connection between the number on the tree and his memory. She keeps telling K that you are special and you are the chosen child.

Just after K decided that he was the child born by the copy, joi told him that he was born, not a manufactured copy, and joi fits with a prostitute, using her appearance, as well as a prostitute. The body, and k have reached the union of spirit and body, which may finally make up for her lack of real body.

K is going to find Deca and will leave his home forever. joi will go with him, but in order to avoid being tracked, joi wants k to destroy the data in the home’s projection equipment, but in this case, joi’s data is only Cached in the projection stick, once the projection stick is destroyed, joi will disappear.

And this kind of fate, it should be fate, probably unavoidable, after the casino was attacked, the projection stick fell out, Wallace's copy female luv stepped on the projection stick, joi left only the last sentence "I love you."

In the midst of loneliness, K was stopped by the projection lady on the side of the road. She looks the same as JOI. She is also a product that gives people psychological comfort. In fact, it has been like this from the beginning. Countless JOIs have become the spirit of countless otaku men. food. Seeing this, K fell into deep contemplation.

The setting of the virtual girlfriend is interesting at first glance. The clone and the projected girlfriend are also considered to complement each other, but what follows is a deep loneliness, because after all, it is only an artificial intelligence and not a real one. Human beings are just a projected image rather than an entity that can be embraced. However, if we think about it more deeply, we will realize that such a combination will inevitably end in no time, and often end in tragedy.

Even so, we will still be fascinated by such sci-fi romance. You see, although joi is an artificial intelligence product, she is more flesh and blood than other humans. How much she loves k.

As for the part of the fusion with the prostitute, it is full of the sense of sight in Scarlett’s "She" a few years ago, but this part is more painful, beautiful to sad, and regrettable. Distressed, knowing that it is impossible, but using this alternative method in exchange for a temporary illusion. The director thoughtfully did not let the prostitute and joi completely synchronize. The two people often replaced the blurred faces, the real and the illusory hands walked up and down K's body, naturally and finally at the same time, took off the clothes, and then stared at you and me. The look in his eyes touched me in an instant. It's really very, very beautiful.

However, after this tragic romance, there is the last segment about joi. The ad slogan "give you anything you want to see/hear" is constantly flashing in the ad, probably because the director deliberately threw it to We have a question like this: Does joi really love k? Or, does her love come from the heart, or is it just a process. Can the so-called true feelings be imitated?

This is what the audience thinks about the virtual girlfriend.

4. Does your so-called truth only mean real memories?

The Blade Runner in 1982 raised the question: Is my memory true? Those copy people who are implanted with memories think they have their own lives. In fact, those are just other people's memories or false memories. They are just a piece of white paper filled with a few memories.

So, I think Blade Runner 2049 has asked such a question more deeply, even if the memory does not belong to me, am I not real? Even if you have real memories, can you have a more real life than me?

In the film, there are two snowfalls.

In the first snow, after K asked Anna and was convinced that he was a born child and not a copy, he caught the snow with his hand. I think at that time, he realized his real existence so truly for the first time. In the past, he thought that he was a copy, everything he had was fake, and once he was a child born, then he actually had a real life.

In the second snow, after he sent Deca to see his daughter, he sat on the doorstep and caught the snow again with his hands. At this time, he already knew that he was still a clone, but this snow, in fact, There is no change, only the state of mind has changed.

At the same time, in the institution, what Deka's daughter faced was only a virtual snow, and her palm could not even catch the falling snow. Although K is only a copy person, he is in contact with the real world. Although his daughter is born, his memory is also real. However, because of isolation from the outside world, what he sees and touches are actually projected. That’s all.

So, who is closer to reality? At the moment K lay down, whether it was true or not, is it not so important at this time?

In fact, at the beginning of the film, after K killed Sapper Morton and opened the lid of his cooking pot, I also had this idea.

Whether sapper morton is a copy or not, it doesn’t matter whether the memories he has in his early years are true or not. He has his own life, he works hard, he manages everything at home, he also has to eat and sleep, then, Who can say that he does not exist as a real "person"?

Similarly, joi, who is a virtual girlfriend, is not real? She is more emotional than anyone else, and she is so longing for the real body, so in love with k, such things, I am afraid we have no right to say that it is false.

The most valuable thing about this version of Blade Runner is that it does not abandon the theme and core ideas of the previous work, but digs deeper and raises such thought-provoking questions through various branches.

5. Your father is still your father

The Deca played by Harrison Ford reminds me of the old Han Solo in Star Wars 7, because they are all dads.

What's better than in Star Wars is that the old Mr. Ford here was not killed because the pay was too expensive.

Of course, this is a joke. Deka's image creation in this film can be said to lead to another small theme in the film, which is about family and about responsibility.

When K asked Deca if he wanted to see his children, Deca replied: "No." Because he felt that his children, no matter where they are, as long as they are safe, it would be fine. If he went to see the children wishful thinking, he would only give it to the children. It brings danger, and the consciousness of such sacrifice actually came very early. After all, he sent his child to the orphanage when he was young and never contacted him again, even if he was caught by Wallace. He would never know the whereabouts of the child.

When facing Rachel copied by Wallace, he stared painfully at that perfect face, and finally said, "Her eyes should be green."

Deca really loves Rachel and his children so sincerely that he can clearly remember every detail of Rachel even thirty years later. However, in order to prevent his relatives from being tracked by the company, He can only send the child away and live alone in the wasteland, with only an old dog as company.

As Wallace said to him: "What you give is nothing but yours."

This is a story about sacrificing family affection. Although the end of the movie is regarded as a father-daughter meeting, will Deka tell Anna that she is her father, and that her daughter is involved in the subsequent struggle?

I guess not.

Still just staring silently, like a stranger.

6. The buddy is still your buddy, but the girlfriend...

Although before the release, I knew that the new and old versions of Blade Runner are inextricably linked in the plot, but I was pleasantly surprised that I really did not expect that there would be so many things related to the previous game.

The first one, of course, is the old gaff.

Anyone who has seen Blade Runner in 1982 must still remember that mysterious gaff, that is, the person who likes to stack paper. It is the unicorn paper-cut he put in front of the Deka door in the final edited version. It is completely solid. Deca is a copy of human facts.

In this version, the elderly gaff appeared as an egg-like nature, answering K’s question, saying that he did not know where Deca went, and finally put out an origami, which is a kind of sentiment.

But to say the most exciting thing, it must be Rachel.

The first thing that appeared was Rachel’s bones...

Although, we really don’t see that it’s Rachel...

However, since I found the audio about Rachel when I was looking for DNA comparison...

Well, I admit Wallace that the skull in your hand is Rachel...

And everyone really likes Rachel very much. They are all bones and grabbed them...

I want to see the real Rachel!!!!

The official really wanted to satisfy us, so first, at the time, Deca gave Rachel’s eye video and audio test, and then Rachel’s beautiful photos, and then Wallace actually saved a few other Rachel’s Audio, Deca also recalled a fragment of Rachel himself, and finally, Wallace copied a Rachel out of it!

That look, that costume, that face, as if it really came out of a movie decades ago.

I have to admit that this kind of special effects is really good, compared with the Imperial Commander in "Rogue One" and Princess Laya. I think the level is higher than that, at least better than the Empire. The commander's kind of fake cg is so good that I don't know where it is.

It's a pity that this is a fake Rachel after all. No matter what kind of sweet words, although it will make Deka feel like a knife, it will not betray her children.

So (to save money), the replicator Rachel was shot and killed.

7. Bursting special effects, real science fiction

Now that special effects are mentioned, I have to boast about the special effects of this film. (Including computer special effects and physical effects)

After watching the whole film, about the special effects, I just feel that the whole film does not have special effects. All the lights and shadows are on and off, and the speeding car is hovering. It seems that you can see the general truth and believable in reality. To me, just two words: texture.

In fact, the whole film does not use special effects on a large scale. Although it is still a bizarre city, there is no unrealistic light pollution (yes, I'm talking about you, "Ghost in the Shell"), but The light beam advertisements until now, and a lot of money in the special effects should be spent on the physical model. As we all know, the realism of the physical model must be very good.

Compare the special effects in "Interstellar Agents: City of A Thousand Stars" and stand apart. It's not that the colorful special effects are not good, it's just that some special effects can easily appear false if they are overdone.

And the most amazing special effect of the whole film is when the speeding car is flying in the city, the rain and snow that rushes in the face, the sky, the rain and snow spreading to the cheeks, all of a sudden drags me into that dark world, in the silver In the world of Wing Runner, it seems that there has always been rain and rain, as if the blue sky will never be seen. However, it is the style of decades ago, leading a large number of followers and imitators, but today, like Blade Runner 2049 Such a real and depressing city, but no one can match it.

Apart from the most impressive holographic projections and flying cars in the film, perhaps the most sci-fi atmosphere is the new feature of flying cars, drones. In fact, it can be found that the two most important points of this film, holographic projection, ar, VR, and drones are all taken from the current hot spots, but they are surpassed. This kind of actual science fiction will undoubtedly bring us something. This kind of real texture, science fiction is unbelievable, but science fiction with a realistic foundation is naturally more acceptable.

Although, the face recognition in the film does not seem to be as easy to use as an Apple phone. After all, the face id of the iphoneX is useless after closing the eyes. (So ​​the development of science and technology is really far beyond people's expectations. With the effort of making a movie, this black technology has actually become a reality)

8. The outbreak after slow narration, the art of light and dark

Villeneuve’s narration is as usual. If anyone has watched "The Prisoner", they will definitely be impressed by the slow narrative rhythm in it. Although it is a good story, it is difficult to tune in with thousands of people. The slow narrative lack of climax will undoubtedly be rejected. Few people criticized it.

The climax is naturally there, and it is also interspersed in the movie. The opening one-minute fight with sapper morton, the mid- and early-stage garbage dump is also a one- or two-minute action scene, and the mid- and late-stage and Deka games add up to less than five minutes. The drama, and the last less than ten minutes of fighting around the dam.

Such a description is actually very obvious. Although there are action scenes, most of them appear to be rushed and short-lived. Even so, with the music, every scene, even if there is no actual action scene, is full of tension. In the last battle near the dam, k and luv were confronted with just a few hands, and k was defeated without any muddling.

However, in the following life-and-death contest, Luv was controlled first, but occupied favorable terrain, and then the situation was reversed. K pushed Luv underwater. At this time, accompanied by fierce music, Luv struggled underwater, and Deca was about to drown. , And the k that presses and presses the luv hard, undoubtedly makes the adrenaline rush.

Such a decisive conflict that serves the plot is the real narrative. When I watched the US version of "Death Note" a few days ago, there were too many slots and I didn't vomit one by one. Just one point, you let Yue and L engage in a chase. What are you doing? Shouldn't two people fight wits? In fact, such a method of filling the plot with some usual bridge segments has appeared in many movies.

And in this movie, do you think there will be speed chase? Uh, it seems to be there, but in fact you can't see it clearly, it's over in a few seconds.

In addition to the narrative, the film’s lens, light and shade, and tones are all very elegantly designed. The film’s tones are mainly divided into two types, one is the dark blue and black in Los Angeles, and the other is the orange yellow of the abandoned casino. Note that at the end of the fight between k and luv, the car in the background just showed two tones of blue and orange. It is really satisfying to set off this tones when the two fight.

As for the changes in light and darkness, the Wallace Company’s design is especially recommended. Wallace Company, especially on the first floor of Wallace, perfectly combines water waves with light and shadow. Personal aesthetic reasons are that they like to be cut abnormally. Bright, and the light and dark changes over time, the light and dark in the film, very beautiful.

There is also a very memorable scene, that is, the opening scene K and Sapper Morton face off in the house. The two people appear before the only two light sources (two windows) in the room. The composition and light are really amazing.

As for the distribution of light and darkness on the faces of characters to express emotions, there are too many, too many, so I won't talk about them one by one.

9. Bees in the wasteland

In the middle and late stages of the movie, K, in search of Deca, alone (Joi is not a human) entered the uninhabited casino city contaminated by nuclear radiation, and in the orange-dominated world, he discovered The only sign of life turned out to be a swarm of bees.

In that scene, the intention of the bee can be said to be very detached and abrupt. So what does the bee mean?

In a director's explanation about bees, he showed that bees are a kind of creatures that are on the verge of extinction under the influence of climate in this era. The radiation environment of the casino allows bees to thrive and thrive away from human interference. This is undoubtedly an irony.

But the image of the bee has more meaning to me, because in the previous game, when Deca tested Rachel, one of them was "You found a wasp in your hand", Rachel answered immediately "I will shoot it to death", and it is this kind of disgust or fear that should be a person's normal physiological response (although Rachel is not a real person, it should be one of Terry's best works), and k (Perhaps because I have never seen it before) Indifferent to this, and even reached into it to explore. This behavior seems to imply that K is still an emotionally sparse copy after all.

10. Dim fire

If everyone is impressed, K has done a test at the police station. This test is the absolute emotional calmness of Blade Runner. When a Blade Runner cannot pass this test, it means that he is affected by real emotions. At the time of the impact, he was no longer competent.

What’s interesting is that the words repeated by k in this test come from the novel "Dark Fire" by the Russian writer Vladimir Nabokov. This novel is one of k’s favorites in the film, joi At the beginning, I even wanted to recite a paragraph to k.

And the fragment he was testing was also a poem from that novel, maybe this fragment he chose himself.

Let us take a closer look at the short poem that was intercepted. This poem describes the near-death experience of the poet in the novel. He saw a white spring water. Later, he heard of the same white spring water from other people. , This confirmed his thoughts and brought corroboration to his views on the existence of the world after death.

However, later, he discovered that it turned out that what others said was not the white spring water, it was just a printing error, and the "mountain" was printed as "fountain".

If we connect this segment with the plot of the movie, we will discover the connection. K also feels different because of a false hope. Later, when he discovers this fallacy, he feels hopeless and then relieved.

In fact, the book also discusses the true and false, the illusion and the truth. Putting this book into the movie can also be said to be an ingenious stroke.

11.enjoy! Cocacola

Do you remember the Coca-Cola advertisement repeated many times in the 1982 version?

In the new version of the movie, it appears again, and it still feels the same.

The same as the previous work, there is also the opening eyes. This time, there are not so many lights in the eyes. They are just a pair of pure eyes, but they seem to have the ability to perceive everything.

Speaking of placement ads, I have to say that the publisher is Sony. It really does everything possible to put its own trademark in. Not to mention outdoor advertising. The old-fashioned holographic projection jukebox in the casino is also produced by Sony. Yes, it seems that Sony is determined to survive to the 100th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China.

The rest of the ads didn't pay much attention, but they noticed that their speed car is Peugeot Citroen.

Of course, there is also the huge Atari advertisement that appeared in the trailer.

By the way, the title imax is also mentioned here. The title imax of Blade Runner 2049 is probably the most designed countdown I have ever seen. It not only changes the color tone and adds a little element, but completely remakes the entire style. , I am looking forward to it just after the countdown to imax is over.

12. Talk about acting

The absolute starring of this film, Commander Ryan Gao, he is the focal point of the lens. In the middle of the film, there is a large part of his alone action, which allows us to follow in his footsteps to investigate the truth a little bit (although it was later found to be false) ), this is undoubtedly very sophisticated acting for the high commander.

As for Commander Gao, he did not disappoint us. As a clone, he has extremely depressive emotional performance. It can be said that he is not happy or angry. It does not seem to be too much whether he is beaten or stabbed. The pain revealed, but it is such a person whose emotional performance at certain moments is shocking.

One of the most impressive is undoubtedly the anger when I thought I was that kid, but the feeling of being lost when I realized that I was actually not the chosen one was also great.

As for the scenes with joi, they are also perfect.

Brother Jerry Leto didn’t shine that way. His words were rather mysterious, and it was easy to give people a feeling of pretense. However, this kind of his own aura is actually related to this kind of genius and madness. The roles don't match, and it feels like a clown in the suicide squad. It feels like he is working hard, but it's always a little worse.

I still miss his performance in People without a Surname.

Harrison Ford, in the few scenes, can be regarded as remarkable, and the interpretation of family affection is still in place. After all, the old drama is bones, and there is always a little scene hidden between the twists and turns of the eyebrows.

In addition, in the final battle, he became the human background of the two duel. You can see that K and Luv are fighting for life and death, and Deka is floating in the back, which is inexplicably funny.

The actor of joi, Anna de Armas, to tell the truth, the movie is pretty good, I thought it was the heroine of Rogue One when I saw the trailer, but the real person is...and Dai in Star Wars 7. Like the West, the heroine is good in the movie, but she won't be able to come out (generous face).

Ah, by the way, I almost forgot to talk about acting skills. This person is not bad, he is more emotional. And because of the excessive exposure of her feelings, you will finally doubt the authenticity of her feelings. It is a relatively successful character shaping.

Sylvia Hoeks, the actor of luv, her villain is more stereotyped, and the feeling of stiffness is very replicative, but after she shed tears and stabbed the police chief when she killed him, she kissed him abruptly. It also seemed to imply that under her submissive behavior, she might be fighting silently and possessing real emotions.

Incidentally, it seems that her last kiss with K hit K's face directly, and the nose bleeds. The little girl is still too young to understand what romance is (funny~).

(The "Lai" in the comment area suggested that Luv's kiss may just be a mechanized imitation of the kiss after Wallace stabbed the female copy. She has no emotions, but she also shed tears when killing people. These are just The procedural setting, or her attempt to become more human-like.)

Dave Batista, the actor of sapper morton, should be more familiar with the name of the destroyer drex of the Guardians of the Galaxy. He has very few shots. Of course, he also appeared in the short film 2048, which was unexpectedly good.

13. Monologue and speechlessness

The 1982 Blade Runner, the most praised is Roy's last monologue in the rain.

I thought that there would be a monologue to emulate in Blade Runner 2049.

Unexpectedly, at the end of the end, only K sent Deka in, and sat on the steps in the snow with difficulty, took a few pieces of snow with his hands, opened the clothes, looked at the wound and the red-stained snow, and then Leaning slowly on the steps.

At that moment, although he didn't say anything, I felt that this one action was actually enough to match the original monologue.

That kind of loneliness, that kind of loneliness, the kind of sorrow that felt like being alone in the end, but after lying down, everything seemed to be nothing but a cloud of smoke.

Without the words that tears would be washed away by rain, he didn't say a word, it was the best.

What happened after Wallace, what happened after the father and daughter met, all these unexplained endgames will eventually be slowly buried by snowflakes and become a blank in Chinese painting.

Blade Runner 2049 quotes

  • Niander Wallace: Is it the same now, as then? The moment you met her. All these years, drunk on the memory of its perfection. How shiny her lips. How instant your connection. Did it never occur to you that is why you were summoned in the first place? Designed to do nothing short of fall for her then and there? All to make that single perfect specimen.
