I encountered heavy rain on the way to see this area, and for a while I was driving almost blindly. Although I was almost late, it was very suitable for the scene.
"Blade Runner" was a 1982 film. 35 years ago, it was very avant-garde and shocking at that time. But let’s be honest, I reviewed it a few days ago and I really feel that the rhythm and special effects cannot satisfy the current audience. . But (there is another one), although this film is a science fiction, it is actually a literary and cult film in terms of expression techniques. Some places have a large scale, and some places are very poetic, discussing the ultimate problem of human nature, and the atmosphere is very apocalyptic. It’s fascinating (the endless rain in the sky). Therefore, although the partial special effects and rhythm make me a little bit slanderous, I am still convinced when I watch the whole film. The reason is still valid.
Then I continued to worry about how the sequel should maintain the original tune (otherwise the previous game will not do it), but also attract and conquer the current audience. 35 years later, what other topics about artificial intelligence/artificial people can give people. imagination? And, is there any picture that you haven't seen yet? Some trusted friends have watched it and praised it one after another, but it can't calm my doubts. Everything has to be watched before I say it.
First of all, it is almost a miracle that this film can be made. Because this is an R-rated literary film that costs 200 million yuan and lasts two hours and forty minutes, students. Yes, it has successfully maintained the core of the literary film, insisting on its own rhythm, tone and feelings. It was raining everywhere, smog everywhere, dilapidated and bleak everywhere, yet it showed a beautiful mood. Not only continued the doomsday of the previous game, but also added wasteland (but completely different from the fierceness of Mad Max's wasteland piece). The computers and instruments in the previous work that now look awkward are cleverly designed to retain the original charm and blend into the modern sense. The excellent architectural lines and interior design styles in the previous works were let go and carried forward. The flying car also retains the original charm, but the shape and texture are in line with the current aesthetic habits.
Misty rainy night. Charm billboard. Transparent plastic rain gear. All kinds of black markets. Artificial pets. . . . . . All appeared, were organically integrated into the story, made very exquisite, and expanded to protein farms, garbage towns, orphanages, child labor factories and abandoned luxury hotels. Show it to you calmly and slowly. Don't expect fast-edited action scenes and playful dialogues, everything is so calm and 80s, but so gorgeous and magnificent. They have stopped making such films for a long time. A little carelessness will degenerate into Camp. Fortunately not.
For a moment, looking at the rain line through the car window and the symmetrical sky, I was immersed in that world. I felt happy to be a fan of science fiction. There is still such a perfect sequel to watch 35 years later.
Let's talk about the topic of artificial humans discussed earlier. The protagonist of this movie is still an artificial person (the former protagonist is Roy, everyone has no objection), still discussing their humanity and status, and discussing the value of love. It doesn't feel outdated, maybe we will never distinguish these problems. In addition, artificial intelligence virtual reality has been added. But I don't like the 3P part, it's a bit embarrassing, maybe what I want is that kind of embarrassment? And this idea has already been used in "Her".
One thing that "2049" is better than the previous one is that this time the blade runner is really a very powerful police detective. It has the case, has the clues, has the vines, and has the reversal. It is a good detective story. The script is actually more solid than the previous one. The villain is also pretty gorgeous and reliable.
There are tons of tributes. Now that I have just finished reading it, I haven't fully recalled it yet, so I should be able to do it twice. Can remember:
rain. All kinds of rain. Give full play to the design element of water.
Neon billboard. 3D virtual street advertising. There are no longer only Japanese girls, the advertising scale is very large. Sony and Coca-Cola should have other brands implanting XDDD. The street signs have various languages, and I saw a big word "wine". XDD
The speeding car drove towards the vast and misty outline of the city.
Picture magnifier. Of course it is an improved version.
The interior design of the institution is straight, large and bright. The personal residence is simple and desolate.
At the beginning, the character Gaff from the previous game appeared on the stage. As usual, he origami made sheep. Tribute to Philip's original "Do Bionics Dream of Electronic Sheep".
Mentioned "I saw a miracle" many times.
After returning from work, the bionic police must pass the baseline test to prove his obedience. A tribute to the previous Bionic Turing Test.
Many statues of old bionics appeared.
The chief designer of the bionic is blind.
Siri, the protagonist's living body, wears a transparent plastic raincoat in a scene to pay tribute to the former snake charmer.
…………
(If there is a second brush, please add it again)
Everyone's acting skills are online. Forber is not soy sauce. Although the high commander doesn't have many expressions, he fits the role. The female characters are very beautiful and rich (Robin Wright is so handsome, he looks a bit like Sean Bean when he was young, but like Uncle Bean...you know). However, they are still fully serving men. But I am not going to pursue this, because you can't ask the sequel of "Silver Wing" to suddenly care about women's rights, the previous work's feminization is even more fierce. I just imagined that my Li Peisi would look like a living Siri for a while.
Speaking of which, if you don't like the previous work, you shouldn't like the sequel either. If you fall asleep in the previous work, the sequel will fall asleep too. This film is not suitable for everyone.
I previewed three promotional videos before watching the film, which is very helpful for watching the film.
Picture full marks. Full score for the original sound. Full marks for design styling scenes. Science fiction means full marks. Moderately nude and violent plasma eight points. Eight points in the plot. Seven points for acting.
The year 2019 in "Blade Runner" is approaching, and the world imagined in the film is not the same as what actually happened. So in 2049, will we have a speeding car? As for colonizing aliens, it shouldn't be so prosperous.
Second brush supplement:
I noticed Nabokov's book "Pale Fire", which is the cover. The verses in "Pale Fire" are used for the baseline test in the film, so K's family has a copy. In 2049, there will be a paper book, and it will be an antique book with the cover of a few decades ago.
I noticed that the sculpture in Wallace’s headquarters is not like an old bionic, but... an engineer in "Prometheus"! ! ! (Question mark face)
The brand of Speed is Peugeot.
In 3P, the real girl had smoky makeup when she first appeared on the stage, paying tribute to the smoky outfit of the previous work Pris.
The second time I saw it, I felt that Los Angeles in 2049 was cleaner than it was in 2019, but it was more bleak. In 2019, it is messy, but there are still fireworks in the world. The 2049 system is more ambitious and the civil society is ruined all the way. It will rain in 2019, and in addition to rain in 2049, snow will have a stronger effect on the atmosphere and plot. How much thought has been put into art design.
Ah, I really like this movie, the more I think about it, the more I like it. Also became fascinated by the soundtrack, and even the high commander. Huh~~~
