Love this little bit of fun futuristic design.

I like this Blade Runner better than 2049.
Science fiction is all based on the imagination of the current world, and both films are just imagining what the future will look like 30 years from now.
From this point of view, although the balance done by 2049 is good, it lacks characteristics (the composition and tone are not counted, and the light and shadow office area in Love's water is also a continuation of the light and shadow of 1).

The first film in the 1980s did some interesting things. It kept the ceiling fans and shutters in the scene design. In fact, these two things quickly became the symbols of a certain era, but no matter how you look at it now and now Very interesting.
At that time, there was no holographic projection, so it was a Japanese geisha on the glass of a high-rise building. Because of the lack of understanding of the foreign land (geisha, Chinatown, and the Chinese characters on the wall), it was replaced with the symbol of "future", which is also A concept that Hollywood loved at one point.
In terms of architecture, most of them are of classical architectural style. Terry Company looks like an Egyptian temple. The details of the brick surface are engraved patterns, but mainly geometric lines, and then the dark side of light and shadow is used to express the stone pillars in the shooting Pier, also very stylish.
In the end, there were a lot of candle lighting in the company's internal scene, and the mysterious atmosphere of the plot has been repeatedly brought out, which is also a very convenient method.
In terms of home style, I didn’t expect that simplicity and coolness would be popular later (now science fiction films do this to the extreme). At that time, it used complex layers of different elements to create a sense of science fiction. The furnishings on Harrison Ford’s piano It can be seen that the room is filled with different things in layers, including mysterious objects such as (Buddha statues), which were used as giant scenery in 2049.
Both films have umbrellas. The handle of the umbrella in the first film is a laser lamp post, and the umbrella cover in the second film is very similar to the ancient Arabian castle.
In terms of clothing, Harrison Ford still retains the oversize of the suits at that time, and Sean Yang also has an exaggerated wide collar. I don’t think it will change greatly in the future, but there are also more interesting designs, the collars of several sets of clothing. They are all regular round necks, and the hard material like steel wire is embedded in the collar to make changes.
