So why is this city deserted?

So why is this city deserted?

We see people in giant scrapyards scratching for some metal but nobody is looting in the orange empty city?

because they dropped a big bomb on it

It's irradiated you numbskull

radiation I guess?

Yep, it was radioactive poisonous and totally uninhabitable, hence why Deckard was able to live there and raise bees

It's Las Vegas and there are hints that a dirty bomb or something of the sort went off there and the city was abandoned afterwards. Mostly in that "you can only find that sort of radiation in one place"

I don’t understand, did you not pay attention?

People assumed it was irradiated, it's KD6-3.7 who discovers that radiation levels are nominal.

My dad equated Deckard's bees as to him being like John the Baptist, who also had bees. Deckard is K's John the Baptist. The sea wall scene can be interpreted as Jesus baptizing John. Dunno if it fits perfectly but it's interesting to think about.

>Las Vegas
It was clearly a Sodom/Gomorrah parallel

Sean Young is asked what would she do if she had wasp in her and and she answers "i would kill it"
Instead K just sticks his hand into the nest.

really makes you think

obviously people assumed it was still unihabitable. thats why nobody is living there except one guy who is trying to hide from the world.

a bee is not a wasp

>anime blue jays
what is this

People abandon irradiated areas even if they are technically habitable.

im not recommending you go to Sup Forumseddit but if you do it wont be hard to find more of that

Fascinating.

I thought it was a dirty bomb? Didn't the Somalian guy say that

is there a difference

Another piece of pottery

They're both hymenopterans, close enough

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_bomb

dirty bombs don't make gigantic nuclear explosions, they just disperse already-radioactive material using a small conventional explosion

What was with all the giant women imagery in this film? The hologram ballerina, Joi hologram, and all the fuck huge woman statues in the radioactive Vegas place.

the fetish of true patricians

oh i see. still it was pretty clear that everyone still thought the area had high levels of radiation.

Maybe Deckard just found a place of the city without that much radiation in it to settle in?

>mfw taking entire family to see the film even the kids

I was not expecting that level of overt sexual imaginary & plain innuendo everywhere even the coffee shop had woman & men getting in on in the middle of the city

that drone K uses to fly around the city does some radiation tests that come back nominal

wtf BR2049 is kino now

>even the coffee shop had woman & men getting in on in the middle of the city
do you guys think things like this will become commonplace in the future? it really made me think

probably too far for them to travel

not everyone has a flying car

>KD6-3.7
Just call him by his real name.

Yes but it's implied Deckard lived there for several decades.
That can't be the explanation.

Deckard is a replicunt, the bees are robots, the dog too

Then what about his dog?

>With Las Vegas, Denis [Gassner, production designer] wanted it to have the red dust. We discussed it at length and we came up with these images of Sydney during the dust storm that they had a few years ago.

Absolute kino

It's Vegas, exaggerated sexual imagery to represent cities of sin ain't nothing new

He has no real name. And I refuse to call him by the generic name some AI assigns to its users.

everyone thinks it has high levels of radiation but it actually doesnt. nobody wants to live in a place that used to be uninhabitable due to radiation. nobody wants to live in a place that seemingly has endless sandstorms. do any of those reasons work for you?

It's real to him, nothing else matters.

A better question, how did the bees survive? Where we're they getting pollen?

His name is KD6-3.7 and that's the end of this discussion. Call him Joe all you want.

Bees are real, they can survive in radioactive environments, dog might be a new addition to the crew, Deckard could definitely got a haz mat suit. Its all irrelevant anyway since we don't know how long the radiation has been nominal, maybe the bomb was never dirty to begin with

It's but nearly as bad as most films in this day

And fuck your kids won't understand the movie either why are they there

No that still doesn't make sense. Why wasn't it a bustling metropolis like LA?

That's his serial code. At least call him K

are you Luke Scott?

It used to be. Then there was a dirty bomb

No, you don't get it, I saw it in the theater three times and learned the full code out of sheer love for the film, let me please be a disgusting nerd and memorize the whole thing.

Deckard groves them somewhere. That's how he put a flower on Rachel's grave.

Bees are only there to explain why Deckard had flowers to put on Rachel's grave. Whatever extra meaning you pull from it is nice too though.

*smashes your waifu*
Psssh nothing personal K

I memorized it the first time, How did it take you three screenings to remember a name?

His serial code is more unique to him than any human name could be. There is no one else who identifies by the name "KD6-3.7"

Because I called him Joe inside my head. I want to memorize Rachel's code now but I'll have to wait until the blu ray.

It might be unique but it carries no meaning. I was named after my uncle. Joe is the name given to him by the person he loves, KD6-3.7 highlights his isolation and lonliness because it is unique.

Just booked my third viewing. It's gonna be kino, lads.

I loved the first. Got bored the second and can't be bothered to watch a third.

most people are stupid, and complex movies reveal it all

I loved her almost teenage girl bully attitude in that scene

It was more of a Pinnochio allegory.
>wants to be a real boy
K wishes he was special
>is led along on false pretenses
K is a Blade Runner, a replicant who hunts other replicants.
>leaves pleasure island
K leaves Vegas (literally), and his JOI dies
>saves his father from the belly of a whale
The sea wall scene where he saves Deckard
>becomes a real boy
K dies, having discovered his own humanity

Beads?

that's great
so fuck off

Isn't she technically a teenager? And K wasn't really that old either, probably a lot younger than her when you think about it.

Good point

hey, cunt
did your mom leave the house
and now you have no one to pester

Luv's not on board.

The director has a giantess fetish, nothing wrong with that.

As a matter of fact so do I so I much appreciated all the giant woman imagery.

I totally understand why someone would go a third time. Went the first today, seriously considering another go at Villeneuve kino.

they talk about how massively irradiated it is literally the scene before

im not sure why though, maybe they dropped a nuke on it or something

Is this Villenueve's best movie?

I can't afford to go a third time help

your dad sounds like a huge faggot.

first thing i thought of when Joi said, "you're a real boy"

>K dies
No he doesn't.

he might have

hell no

Reminder the light/color was done on set

A dirty bomb went off over the city and it was evacuated. Because of falling populations on Earth (there was an environmental collapse, there was a massive famine and anyone with means went off-world), they never bothered to repair the damage or have people move back into it.

Yes but why was Deckard and his dog the only ones?

Joi's emanator is roughly the same shape and size of a rib, what does it mean?

SO WHY THE FUCK WAS DECKARD THERE

If people thought that the city was still irradiated, there wouldn't be much of a draw to go there. In the real world, you don't see a lot of people flocking to Chernobyl or Fukashima.

WE WERE BEING HUNTED

He was hiding and like Gaff noted, he seemed to like being on his own anyway.

we fucking watch him bleed out, did you miss that part?

KINO
I
N
O

>movies area an intellectual game to see who is smarter

it must be sad being you

No, we see him resting after an adventure.

he was in a similar state at the casino but he was nursed back to health. there is enough ambiguity to make the argument that he could have lived

Oh fuck

> It's but nearly as bad as most films in this day
The sex scene is pretty depraved.

> tfw you will never have a relationship replacing hologram that realizes she doesn't fulfill all of your need and hire a prostitute behind your back based on what she has observed you liking

That completely undermines his decision to give someone else the life he gave everything to have

No, it doesn't. He managed to get the same result without actually dying in the process. What's wrong with that? It's a happy ending to a very sad story.

Him dying would me a huge cliche, too.

no you silly gooses, I was asking how is it possible that señor deckard was in the middle of a radioactive zone. Besides, if the radiation levels were nominals wouldn't the looters/squatters come to the city? They were living in literal trash might as well get some nominal radiation

Think it would've been a bigger cliche to see him ride off into the sunset with Deckard and Stelline

How indeed

>the bees were only there to explain the flower
>the flower was there because....
You need to think before you post.

nobody knows that the radiation levels are nominal. K wouldnt have his drone run radiation tests if they knew

it makes sens that in a world where there has been a nuclear war that people would want to stay the fuck away from anything to do with radioactivity. Besides if you're healthy enough you can get shipped offworld, why risk your escape ticket?
