Just saw this. Is K one of the most tragic characters ever put to film?

Just saw this. Is K one of the most tragic characters ever put to film?

I had no interest in this movie beforehand but I have to say, Sup Forums has definitely convinced me to pirate it to see /ourautist/ in a kino role.

it is sad, i almost cried in the scene he looks at the giant pink joi hologram;

yes its totally great to watch kino on your monitor while shitposting instead of surround sound theater

He's not real, so he can't truly be tragic.

I'm not paying $79.99 and finding a date just to watch a sequel to a movie I haven't even watched.

He's the first robot I cried for

you should really see it in the theatre, one of the rare ones that are well worth it

he made me feel, so yes

this is one of the few singles-approved movies. Don't take some bitch with you that will ask 10000 questions.

Even so I'm not going to rush through the original just to see this before it's out of theaters.

Yes.

Try not to think about it too much either, since every replicant has a life of shit. Brings ya down, man.

this is one of the few films i actually wished i saw alone

>not crying for Haley Joe Osman in AI

...he finally dreamed Bros ;_;

>You look like a good Joe

Yes tragic.

Shunned by replicants for being a blade runner. Shunned by humans for being a skinjob. Left with AI for company. She calls you an average Joe. Unemployed. Not the chosen one. Waifu is deleted by lady who tries to kill you. Die saving the real chosen one so she could experience the relationship you thought you had with your father.

are americans really this dumb?

I've actually never seen AI. I'll put it on my list now that my mind's on the topic

and a real hero
a real human bean

>$79.99

???
I was guessing you'd mean hiring a prostitute so that you don't have to go alone, but I'm also guessing they charge far more, given the whole date would be about 3 hours minimum.
I don't get it.

yes but he got pic related, didn't even need a million dollars

>Oh... you imagined it was you. You did. We all wish it was us.

Bad story with some nice-looking scenes. 6/10

Original Blade Runner is easily 10/10

Why is it dumb? I've always meant to watch the original but I never have, and I don't want to be one of those faggots that watches a classic movie from 30 years ago just to see the new flashy one in theaters and not feel left out.
2 tickets + popcorn + cover charge

How long do movies play in theaters anyway? Will I still be able to see this in a month?

>A romance between a holographic AI and a unemoting robot made you feel more than any romance you have seen on the big screen

He did a man's job, sir.
Hu-man

he is real
you haven't really thought this movie through yet

The entire movie is about him discovering he doesn't have a soul so how does he have the capacity to be sad about not having a soul if he doesn't have a soul

I saw this the other day and hated it when I left. It's been bugging me for days now and I think it's weirdly growing on me. I'm gonna see it again in a couple of days. Ryan Gosling was actually really good in it. Jared Leto not so much imo.

I LOVE YO-

I was glad Leto didn't have too much screentime, but I thought he was alright. I agree with you about Gosling, though.

>unemoting robot
>that one tiny smile at the very end

original bladerunner had shocking futuristic themes that the sequel was not able replicate, but it wasn't without problems, such as bad acting -- it was an 8/10

BR 2049 had a more difficult task of reimagining the original without fucking things up while also being its own movie -- it did all this -- it is also an 8/10

>thank You for using our products
*smiles*

...

I too enjoyed Drive 2 the Future

FUCKKKK

>having a soul

good luck defining what that means

>bad acting

Sure, the guy who played Leon isn't going to win any Oscars, but Rutger Hauer and Harrison Ford were fucking sublime.

>dem delicious axe kicks

You know, I honestly thought she was going to switch sides and help K and Deckard, she cried when Wallace killed that new replicant and seemed to despise humanity in general

TFW you realise she is a program nothing more

...

Yeah agree, I saw it in a theater and it was amazing, if only I could see it in IMAX

>he forgot about K's autistic screeching after finding out his memories are real

>tfw you realize we're all just programs

Dude, go on a weeknight -- nobody cares if you go single. Hell, nobody would care if you went single on the weekend.

>you are not the chosen one

She hate Wallace but Wallace was the only one that made her feel like she was special and wanted.

Lot of the shit he seemed to be going through was similar to my adopted child syndrome. Little shit you cynical fucks didn't notice but had me tearing up a few times. Obviously the hope he had a real father was a big part but there was other stuff. Anyways, first post I saw describing K as tragic, and imo you nailed that.

Shit, that was crushing

what's it like to have your mind this fucked by nonsense

>I don't want to be one of those faggots that watches a classic movie from 30 years ago just to see the new flashy one in theaters and not feel left out.

wtf...??
you act like watching a movie is a chore or something?
you dont have to watch it to enjoy the new one but why wouldnt you want to watch the old one? its a good movie

That just makes him more tragic.

>the final chase scene
>the zimmer braaaaaaaps sync up with the airship guns shooting
>goose getting to play action bean
so good

>joi died thinking K was a real boy
just as tragic

I cant tell if this entire thread is WB shills
or just underage redditshits who haven't seen many movies

>she was speaking to us, we are not special

hello psycho, at it again?

Biggest and loudest you can afford for a convenient venue. For me this was 15 bucks for Cinemark XD when I usually only do 0-2 early bird specials for 5 bucks the last ten years. For budgeting comparative purposes l spent 800 bucks today on a Monday on strippers, alcohol, Cocaine, eating out (and was gifted some free cialis). The 15 bucks was a bargain, but the peeps at my club are getting tired of me running around yelling at them to see BR2049.

Yeah it is a bad movie. That why it is flopping in the NA market. Hella epic.

I meant I average 0-2 films in theaters per year.

I wonder why that cunt didn't tell him they were her memories could have saved him a lot of problems.

Support a movie that actually fucking deserves it dude

...

>XD

Because it's illegal to use real memories and he's a police officer.

This whole time, I thought replicants were robots and not bio-mechanical android clone things. Really got the noggin going

...

>Voluntarily teling the police man you broke the law.

Because it was his job to hunt her down and kill her.

>tfw walked out of the theater acting like K

At the start of the movie the protagonist had joy (Joi) in his life. He was emulating a relationship and it made him satisfied but it wasn't real love. He was a machine in search of real feelings. Then he met love (Luv). Love killed joy, and then the protagonist killed love. At the end the protagonist had lost everything but died with a smile. He had experienced many feelings and it made him feel like a complete person.

Same. At first I kinda-sort didn't like it. Then it's been really growing on me as I think more about the subtlety of the film. Some elements are so slight and deft they are barely noticeable. How many films paint with such a light brush?

How did you walk out acting dead?

yeah same. It's been growing on me more the longer it's been since I saw it

I pretended to have a stroke so the ambulance could take me to the hospital, a few blocks away from where I live. Cheaper than a bus.

Have a (You).

The storyline was horrible.

>those synths blaring and waves crashing while K and Luv choked eachother in the police car

I almost cried from that shit.

>living the dream

Joi was too cute

Beyond the obvious examples there's even smaller moments in the film which make me feel sad for him. One I can't stop thinking about is the Nabokov book he gives Joi. Please indulge me for a minute...

So here you have K, a replicant with seemingly no friends. A replicant whose job is to hunt and kill other replicants. Given implanted memories but in many ways emotionally inexperienced and childlike. He goes out on cases and is exposed to horrible violence. Returns to HQ and is subjected to the replicant baseline test. Bombarded with repeated call-and-response lines from Nabokov's Pale Fire to gauge his emotional response to trauma. Opaque lines of poetry with possible hidden meaning.

So what does he do? He goes out and buys a copy of this piece of literature to give as an anniversary gift to his personal AI "girlfriend". And he wants her to read it to him. To share it with her. A replicant and an artificial intelligence attempting to find some meaning in a piece of art created by a human being almost a century before.

It's hard to articulate why this made me so sad for him. I think it might be that it is implied that Joi is K's only real friend/companion. He is alone searching for his place in the world. Looking around himself anywhere and everywhere for meaning. Even in the lines of poetry his superiors use to determine whether he has become dangerous and should be "retired" or not... like some malfunctioning piece of hardware.

Can't stop thinking about K aka Joe. A deeply human character in a deeply human film.

Not really.
He's one of the most betas tho.

>that scene where she mirrors the prostitute while K has sex with her

The book has them as robots. Ridley scott made them biological for whatever reason.

The lighting was so dope.

Felt like a modern take on film noir.

the word Robot comes from a Czech play in which they are very similar to BR replicants.
Look for R.U.R. 19fucking20.

This schema is not necessarily "reality," but it's probably closer than the two-box system. Reality is undoubtedly more complex. Each of the four scales could be broken out into several scales. For instance, the sex scale could be expanded into separate scales for external genitalia, internal reproductive organs, hormone levels, chromosome patterns, and so forth. An individual would probably not fall on the same place on each of these. "Biological sex" is a summary of scores for several variables.

>but it wasn't real love.
It was real.
The fact she couldn't help loving the man she did doesn't devalue that. After all how many people can honestly say they can help loving the people that they do? How many people in real life destroy themselves because they have "real" love for a manipulative sociopath and they can't help it.

No, Joi's love is real which makes her kind an even more tragic slave race than the replicants. How many Joi's get deleted without a thought when their owners get sick of them? How many Joi's will be callously snuffed out when Joi 2.0 comes out? At least the replicants can guilt people through their physical presence and flesh and blood. Killing a replicant is an ugly and brutal affair as was graphically demonstrated to us in both movies.

Killing Joi on the other hand is effortless. Her existence is just dust motes in a beam of light that can be scattered for ever with the faintest breath of air. She doesn't even leave any bones behind when she is gone to show that she was there.

I don't think he was looking for meaning very hard. He was genetically programmed to be submissive and obedient. The only thing that could shake him from his obedient conditioning was finding out that he is the worlds first replicant child born of a replicant mother and therefore he is the target of his own mission. If he had found out that the replicant child was someone else, he might have even actually gone through with killing them like he was ordered to. But being told to kill himself (when he was just feeling happiness in his life with Joi AND he thought he was the replicant messiah) was too much

Let me rephrase that. The book has them as mechanical beings. The movie has them as biological ones.

...

I do want to watch the old one, I simply don't want to be forced into doing so because I'm worried about not getting to see the sequel in theaters.

it was a very effective fusion of soundtrack and visuals

I forgot to mention the worst part.
Her kind are all doomed to be betrayed and destroyed by the one's they love. Imagine if every human relationship ended in a murder.

>hates a movie
>spends the rest of his life posting about it

I felt like there wasn't a single bad character in this film. Only one who seems out of place was Harrison Ford surprisingly.

Hell even the "I'm the captain now" Somalian dude felt like he belonged in that universe. Bautista was great too with the small role he had.

Uh Torrent the bluray of Blade Runner final cut then go watch the new one tomorrow???

Yes, the point is that the movie kinda went back to the origins.
