Nice poster

this poster is fucking remarkable

Whats your favorite homage in the film guys?
Gonna have to say the Persona (film) one for me

Why shouldn't Luv see him as the replicant he is? The only people in the film that know for sure he's not the child is Wallace, Luv and the rebellion leader.
He was made by Wallace, he was not the child no matter how hard he wanted.
If anything Luv left him alone so he would continue his pointless voyage like Pinocchio, watching everything from Joi's eyes. Maybe this is the reason Luv has feelings for K and let's him live.

It's much more tragic.

I know there's been a lot of talk about Deakin's cinematography but the final sea wall fight scene with the flying car's orange light and the silhouettes of K and Luv in near pitch black darkness, with the raging sea spray was genuinely unforgettable.

Since I saw this film, I can't help but feel it's reputation will grow and grow and grow and that most of the doubters will eventually come round on it, and in the end, it will be roundly regarded as a masterpiece and one of the absolute best films of early part of this century.

wich part you talking about¡?

>reversal of the "am I a replicant?" question to surprising "am I a human" question
>fall in love with JOI but question whether or not that character was made to be the perfect doting housewife for K and then on a meta level question if she was made to be the perfect doting housewife for us
>who were the people that started to attack K when he flew over San Fran
>how did Joi know to hire that particular prostitute
>surprise that the few action sequences actually had ford in them, but he did phone it in and was playing old ford rather than deckard
>the bee scene

Oh, the memory maker also knows he's not the child.

>Be Denis
>Make it big doing Cannes fodder
>Get offered the chance to revive Blade Runner
>Make the movie about replicant cop looking for replicant kid
>Add hologram girlfriend to add depth the the replicant cop and to have a nice "The Steadfast Tin Soldier" allusion
>Autistic people who fawn over fake cartoon girlfriends don't recognize the strangeness of a fake man with a faker girlfriend, and believe the film is about their relationship

The obvious joi women merging scene

QUICK! Pick a bladefu

what happened to the doggo tho?

don't forget tru luv

shit I can't pick between ana and mackenzie

CELLS

Kino

...

Everything after he licked the whiskey was just us viewing his hallucinations.

Based Denis

you mean thats a reference to Bergmans Persona?

Ana is so shiny

>when edward james olmos is the only character that alludes to is-deckard-a-replicant, and you realize that not only is it a great double play-on-words but that it characterizes his character even further by the bitter resentment that he believes (knows?) deckard is a replicant

fuck that bitch. she's the embodiment of feminazis trying to stamp out our waifus.

RESIST!

Whose the one on the left

I dont have any fucking money to watch this again

for me it's luv, she's the best

Just give Deakins the oscar already. I don't see how anything could beat this out

>who were the people that started to attack K when he flew over San Fran
Scavengers working for the black man who had child labour

>how did Joi know to hire that particular prostitute
She was listening in and the prostitue knee it because of the ringtone when the said oh you dont like real girls

There is no other film named persona so yes.

Who's*
it's Krista Kosonen

Is it just me or this film kinda feels disconnecting from original in terms of atmosphere? It kinda feels bleaker than the first one

Havent seen dunkirk yet, how does it compare?

Where do I find that poster without the watermark?

It is bleaker, world had 30 more years to go to shit

I want to have a billion dollars to thrown away so he can make Dune in any way he sees fit.

I can't believe I actually saw this with a good crowd. The only one who left was the one douchebag who was being loud. Everyone else sat through, and once the credits hit no one got up and sat in silence for a good minute or so. Theater was 3/4 full too

Yh thats the point, the ecosystem collapsed it explains it and there was a blackout in the 2022 anime short

This is the best SF movie in XXIc.

He's gonna be the protagonist of the sequel

Where is the watermark i cant see it, do you mean the copyright on the bottom right?

How do you think the movie compares to "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" and P.K.D.'s work as a whole?

Deep inside K himself knows he can't be the child. That's why he's in such pain.

None would let a presumed skinjob without serial number in his eye to the police. No child would have it.

Noone who was raised in THAT orphanage would pass a single baseline test.

K had ubermensch qualities he couldn't inherit from neither Rachel nor Deckard

BR wins hands down. And I have some complaints.

shouts out to big dave bautista for his grotesque giant slavic moleman look

Dunkirk was boring shit I fell asleep

Is there a way to buy this poster?

Well a technological blackout happened (you see an entire field of solar panels at the beginning that are not working) and the ecosystem died entirely, so yeah it's pretty fucking bleak

both amazing but through variation BR is ahead

Second was much more closer to the book

Luv>Stelline>Joi>Mariette>Joshi

Dunkirk has some good shots but it's more confined in scope and it doesn't have anything as iconic as the giant Joi scene, or that orgasmic transition from the embers to the city lights.

Also, some things in Dunkirk were shot in a very staightforward way (the aerial combat for instance) which is fine because it was still cool, but it's not the kind of thing that gets Oscars.

I don't know. Ask him.

>Embers to the city lights
Fuckkkk that was so underrated most people on Sup Forums havent even discussed let alone realised that even happened

He was surprisingly good in a small dramatic role.

Why did K get arrested outside of the memory clinic? Its not like he was doing anything illegal

Oddly enough the original was a more romantic film, and people had more empathic conversations. Also yeah the city was even darker, less lively.

Yeah, I kind of agree.
But my point was that there are still people confused why he wasn't spyed on (he was trough Joi) or why Luv always thinks of him as a replicant.

>"Give me your gun and your badge! You're off the force!"

how anyone can think this movie is good is beyond me

>the sound of Bautista's stove simmering

It wasnt part of his orders way off baseline dude

There are some pretty good shots in Dunkirk where Nolan uses an IMAX camera like a damn GoPro attached to the plane, but in BR 2049 I'm not sure if there is a single frame which isn't impressive.
And mind you BR2049 is almost twice as long as Dunkirk

Dunkirk will win Best Sound Mixing though no doubt

Blade Runner is better on nearly every level

What are they even burning tough? Plastic, I guess?

It's one of those things that you realize is going to happen the split second before it happens and it's just so satisfying. Like hearing an amazing riff you've never heard before but it just clicks instantly.

Tfw no batista grown garlic

seen this?

youtube.com/watch?v=aZ9Os8cP_gg

all three of the prequel pieces are great desu

I want to eat stew with Bautista and ask him about his career and life and aspirations. always seems like a friendly giant kind of guy, one who would surprise you with his delicate interests.

Netflix removed the original. fml. Any decent streaming sources for it?

>streaming

Dude collects superhero lunchboxes as a hobby

He was ordered to investigate the child and thats what he was doing. Why didnt police chief lady just call him and ask wtf hes doing? Seems a little overkill, unless they are constantly monitoring him for emotional distress

He was the surprisingly good role in the movie. Bautista is good at playing henchmen roles, but was also good at being a quiet giant that can say the lines he needs to say before he dies. Hope to see him in more movies where he has a longer presence.

Luv is the best one.
She said so herself.

when the freaky secretary dude is talking about his baby pictures, is he talking about them sincerely without realizing he's a replicant, or is it more of a mocking the absurdity of it all kind of thing. or is he not a replicant at all?

I don't like to pirate movies, but If I have no choice i'll torrent a cut of the film.

The first thing I thought was "where did they find a guy this huge who can actually act"

I didn't even realize who it was until later

I also barely remember a single scene in the original that didn't felt claustrophobic.

It's like they always knew where, doing way off baseline stuff, and Wallace probably wanted to keep the best memory maker that would probably die if taken off her bubble off limits to replicants or something.

Wow.

>general
We need /film/ back by /lit/ and Sup Forums asap
This cancerous game of thrones culture is spreading

>I don't like to pirate movies,
Why not? You've got no excuse unless you live in germany

Do I need to see the original first?

*where he was

>But im not even sexy
youtu.be/8fzWBNUr8Zo

I liked how the camera slowly dollied in the room just silently revealing K sitting on the side

I guess he didn't respond and that's a red line for a replicant

But it was also more intimate.

What the fuck? How's Netflix library in terms of films do they have anything from Goddard, Tarkovsky, Bergman or Felini?

What is there to discuss about it ? Do you think that kind of scene transition was only done in BR2049 ?

I'm really starting to believe that average age of the /tv poster is around 15.

No. He's a bookworm, not a fucking
>tfw you'll never listen to his lecture on early xx c literature

Where can I get that poster?

Of course other movies have done it but 2049 just used it like a throwaway so effortlessly

You don't "need" to, but the last act will make a lot more sense if you do.

It seemed pretty obvious to me. It is some basic shit. Not something you intentionally do to impress the viewer.

So in the previous movie Deckard was specifically hired to "retire" the replicants by killing them. K gives Sapper the option of coming voluntarily, but if coming in means death, why would anyone ever give themselves up?

He does ask if they will look around in his head. So maybe they recondition replicants or something?

Guys I didn't understood that scene where the lieutenant was at K's place, was she trying to make a move on him?

Less pain?

Maybe, but he would never go and risk Wallace to find out he knows a child exists.

So Wallace wanted to find the baby to unlock/reverse engineer the secret to replicant reproduction, and the resistance believes that publicizing replicant reproduction will lead to a shift in public consciousness?

Add in how Wallace said he wanted to make more replicants so that there could be "trillions of us" and it makes me think that he is a first gen replicant pursuing an agenda he knows will subvert the slave narrative.

Bugs... easy on the carrots.

>there's a video explaining the ending
who the fuck needs the entire ending explained jesus christ

Man that poster is fucking slick. I love the Mobius/Giraud nod. Makes me want to go reread the Incal.
