I don't understand the people complaining about the score. It was flawless, especially at the climax. Sometimes you just can't relate to people I guess. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aY4q4VUfN-I The score compliments the visuals so well I can't imagine anything else. The level of urban squalor and total destruction of the environment. I'm not sure how they emulated that car revving sound, but it's creepy as gently caress.

The score is fantastic and used to great effect throughout most of the movie. But (I haven't seen it in theaters so I forget the exact point) there's a part where the foghorn style thing plays, and the scene fades to a different scene and it's still repeating, and it cuts to a close up of Gosling's face and it's still repeating, and I remember it feeling very very very out of place with anything happening at that point in the movie. Everywhere else it was great.

Parts of the score are excellent. Las Vegas in particular was perfect. By the fourth slow pan over large buildings with accompanying horn blare, though, it felt like one of those Inception trailer parodies.

There are probably many legitimate complaints about this movie that I'd agree with, but pacing and score are absolutely not on that list.

Just watched it for the first time and loved it. Though the last part was a bit too standard Hollywood main bad vs main good fistfight. (Then again, the original had that too, just...a little bit different.) One thing I found really interesting was that some of the scenes out in the garbage dump seemed heavily inspired by Manufactured Landscapes - some of the bleak landscapes of 2049 aren't something in the far future - it is something that exists right here, right now, in some parts of the world.

[quote="ymgve" post=""481918875"] One thing I found really interesting was that some of the scenes out in the garbage dump seemed heavily inspired by Manufactured Landscapes - some of the bleak landscapes of 2049 aren't something in the far future - it is something that exists right here, right now, in some parts of the world. [/quote] I agree. It was really well done bridging the sci fi retrofuturism and our current bizarre modern life. The rows of children dissembling the computer parts isn’t far removed from some documentaries I’ve seen filmed in China and India. The solar fields as well are very similar to the PS10 plant in Spain.

sean10mm posted:What everyone said about Blade Runner in the 80s. The original had raw primal intrusions through that detachment, like Rutger Hauer’s werewolf howls or Deckard getting his fingers broken. I definitely understand why people call 2049 lifeless in comparison, it’s a much more formal and composed movie. I do like me some sea wall though I love how 2049 extended the aesthetic of the post-progress cyberpunk city out into the surrounding world.

I think everyone takes "gently caress JARED LETO" as a given, so no one commented.  Caustic posted:I love the whole Flight to LAPD through baseline test sequence.

I can't stress this enough but if you have not watched this film on Bluray you are doing yourself a great disservice. A lot of the visuals are lost in compression, not even the best streaming comes close...

I don’t have anything against Jared Leto and I don’t hate him in BR2049, but there are definitely other actors that would have done better things with the role. Bowie would have been amazing

I don't like Leto's performance but I'm not sure it was really his fault, I think the Wallace character was poorly written. Overly eccentric but without the screen time to really establish any of the eccentricity or incorporate it into a fully formed character.

Overly eccentric but without the screen time to really establish any of the eccentricity or incorporate it into a fully formed character. I feel similarly. It felt more like a casting problem to me, than Leto loving it up. They cast an actor known for big, strange performances in a role that's already big and strange, so it's hardly surprising that he went loud and operatic with it. An actor who doesn't do that, or who doesn't *need* to, might've left some room for other character notes. Bowie would've been stunt-casting, but at least he'd have brought charisma to a profoundly offputting character, which might've been an interesting tension. My weird fan-casting thought would've been someone who conveyed real warmth or kindness, so Wallace's cruelty would be more shocking. Rather than presenting a menacing douchebag who's megalomania feels kind of like a cartoon.

Wallace's problem was mostly in the writing itself. It sounded like he was reading off of a different script.

Yea I think an older actor would've worked better, someone who can do kindly older man but with intensity under the surface. Like a Jeff Daniels maybe.

exquisite tea posted:Wallace's problem was mostly in the writing itself. It sounded like he was reading off of a different script. Sounds perfectly cast for a young tech billionaire douchebag then.  I agree with Xealot though. Tyrell is an ambitious, cold, efficient industrialist. The Wallace character is the modern equivalent of that and having the role played by someone to play the same character's motives and actions, but with a warm and more marketable face kind of performance would probably be more realistic. Like there are people who are fanboys of Elon Musk/etc., Wallace never comes off as someone who would command that of respect. It's fitting for the setting in a way and for a world set in the 2049 of the first Blade Runner movie rather than our world, but he does feel a bit underdeveloped. I know for nostalgia reasons they opened the movie up with a text crawl similar to the original but they should have put that brief promotional scene of him demoing his new replicants into the actual movie. It's tense and in its own way shows a constrained viciousness to the character* that would have made the rest of his scenes resonate more. I mean this is a guy who invented the capability for massive large scale automated farming to happen and be managed by minimal/no people and saved humanity from starvation. The guy's a legendary hero on paper. But he still feels he *HAS* to create an inexhaustible slave force of replicants to really make himself feel proud. I think it's telling that the business folks he's demoing the replicant to are aghast the notion of him having the replicant kill themselves. It's a brief scene but you get this feel for the room for how there's human folks in positions of power that aren't down with replicants being treated like poo poo. And it's interesting because rather than being "more human than human" Wallace sells and gets the permits for/etc. the new replicants by showing their total and absolute devotion to their masters. Playing into how natural humanity's definition of a more advanced replicant is one that doesn't think as much. It also gives a little more context to what's mentioned in the blurb regarding replicants being banned or not/what models are legal or not and so on.

It seems like in both Suicide Squad and Blade Runner, they got Leto because they thought he was one of those actors who can take very limited screen time and make something special and memorable out of it. But he's really not one of those guys.

I've noticed on my 6th viewing that having K be "Constant", and Joshi's, "sometimes with you I forget", it could be implied that his illegal memory helped him remain baselined ("Wallace needs memories to helps maintain a stable product") more than average. But, ironically, when he finds out it actually happened he loses it.
