Sorry, everything is boring now, movies are boring, we can't scare our dumb idiot viewers with something they aren't expecting. edit: it'll probably be fine in the movie but what was the last film we got with really wacky fashion? I miss that. Magic Hate Ball fucked around with this message at 19:12 on Dec 22, 2016 |

It's like all PKD stories, the questionable reality is more about us making meaning of our own lives than wondering what our lives mean (see also: the questionable ending to Minority Report that directly references Solaris).

exquisite tea posted:The asian influence in Blade Runner came out of a period where Japan's consumer goods economy was dominant and China was just emerging as a manufacturing powerhouse, why is why Atari and Toshiba seemingly rule the world in 2019 Los Angeles. It was their attempt to predict how cultures would blend in the future. See also: every movie from the 70s and 80s where gaggles of Japanese tourists show up taking pictures of everything.

Joi had a lot of the best moments, the overlapping sex scene absolutely knocked the wind out of me and her glitching out after the crash was discomfortingly eerie.

There's plenty of other overtly mystical imagery in the film, it's just all attached to characters who aren't literally from the past.

pospysyl posted:But none of those are miraculous! I know it's meant to be Biblical imagery, but not everything in the Bible is a miracle. Also, pyramids aren't even in the Bible. Of course they're not miraculous, half the point of Blade Runner is that it's a confused, lost echo of the past - the bees are miraculous because Decker produced a miracle

Does the novel make a stronger hint that the offworld colonies are actually a huge scam? Maybe it's another PKD book where it turns out the "colonies" are basically labor camps? I know that's sort of the premise of Martian Time-Slip.

I really liked Wallace. Tyrell felt like an aging Liberace, while Wallace was like Akhnaten. It was a weird performance but I thought he was kind of fascinating and I wish we'd had more resolution to his arc, it felt like he just kind of disappeared.

Escobarbarian posted:Also I don’t wanna be the omg-so-smart guy but isn’t it obvious memory creator is the child as soon as she cries about the horse figure memory and says the thing about the best memories coming from real places? That was too predictable for me. I was red herring'd into thinking that she was confirming for him that the memory was real and therefore he was The One etc and they were just both shocked by this. Bardeh posted:So, Deckard and Rachel's daughter placed that horse toy memory in every replicant she designed the memories for, right? The hooker replicant recognizes the horse on the bedside table, and the resistance leader implies that it's a shared thing when K finds out he's not The One. The impression I got was that the replicants got a kind of mix-and-match grab bag of memories. I don't think they say this outright but it felt implied.

Shageletic posted:Tyrell's interests, from chess to robooots, where shown in the original, his desires easily seen, making him very human. It absolutely judges him, he delivers all this controlling messianic bullshit and displays a notable lack of humanity, which is why I enjoyed his performance so much.

To be honest even with the speakers functional the huge bass is just kind of annoying - Dunkirk had the same thing and it just made me feel like I was vibrating, which isn't really accomplishing anything.
