I still have not seen Blade Runner. Which cut is "the correct one?"

I personally like the "Director's" Cut the most because of how the piano dream is edited, but besides that the Final Cut is fine.

Also Final Cut got all the nice remastering, DC didn't.

I was reading some other reviews that were giving it tons of praise as well, but this comment stuck out:

"Blade Runner 2049 is absolutely loaded with spoilers. Even the plot of the film is a spoiler. If you are going to see it avoid reviews."

What am I missing here? The movie is full of spoilers? I... what? I'm confused.

At the beginning some guys in snow coats chase a dog and yell out the plot of the whole movie in Norwegian

It fits best as a sequel to the Final Cut version IMO. That's also the best version of the original by a large margin.

A lot of the premise of 2049 is based on a sentence of dialogue that is only in the Theatrical cut

K not being Deckard's son was awesome. I like a good twist, but the thing was that he had been building a new identity based on the idea that he was special, something that Joi was feeding into. But then he finds out that he's not special, and while ruminating on that fact he encounters the giant Joi. The difference between her and his Joi is what makes him understand that it doesn't matter that he's not Deckard's son. He's special because he thought he was.

The way I see it, K is special because of his actions, not his identity. He's told that he's the chosen one and that he's special, and then it's all ripped away from him. He no longer has a personal stake in saving Deckard, who is no longer his father, but he does so anyways because it seemed like the right thing to do. He found meaning in his life by dying for a selfless cause, not because of who his parents were

I'll have to see it over again to make sure but I got the feeling from the film that when it portrayed female subservience, the film was portraying the subservience in a bad light.

K goes through the movie surrounded by things that tickle the need for men to feel special, and he outgrows them eventually. I got the sense that what's really on trial here is the male insecurity and loneliness that leads men to buy a hologram girlfriend

He lived. They don't show him die.

I used a progressive tense of the verb so I think saying he was dying is still the most correct.

The tragic part is He was knocked out so he never saw that, and the interaction with the big pink hologram probably mean's K either dies at the end or goes through the rest of his life thinking Joi was just programmed to please him.

Rachel has brown eyes in the first movie.

Wallace trots out Rachel.

Deckard: "Her eyes... were green!"

Wallace shoots Rachel.

Did Deckard just gaslight Wallace by lying about Rachel's eye color?

Sean Young has brown eyes, but during the Voight-Kampf test, Rachael is portrayed with green eyes.

Is Villeneuve gaslighting us then?

I stuck around for the ending credits and was surprised it wasn't Lola FX that did the Sean Young scene. It's a new studio I haven't heard of.

Thumbs up. I completely bought 98% of it.

You guys are going to hate me for this, but the recent movie this most reminded me of was Tron Legacy.

The thought crossed my mind too. For me, it was the epic drums/horns coupled with flying vehicles that had a lot of glowing lines. In the first film all the lights on the spinners were bulb lights, which made them look like the UFOs from Close Encounters

in the new one the lights looked like LED lines

On top of that all the monitors in the first film were CRT, whereas this new film's monitors were LED

Listen to the last 30 seconds of this and tell me it doesn't remind you of the music during the car chase to the spaceport

Something else that caught my eye was how little of Los Angeles was even powered. When K first returns from the farms, he flies over LA and most of it is gray and dark, with the lights only on in major streets.

Did most of the population die in famines, and the survivors congregated to major streets? Or do most of the inhabitants of LA live in darkness and poverty? It was an incredibly spooky image, and no explanation was given.

Blade Runner 2049's Rachel was also computer effects. If you stay during the end credits there was an entire studio dedicated to facial effects.

Villeneueueve also said in an interview that he basically did the same thing that Rogue One did with Tarkin (CG touchup on a live actor, but unlike Rogue One spending a few months on it, BR2049 spent an entire year on Rachel and studied Rogue One as a case study of what mistakes not to make.

Listened to some of the soundtrack on Youtube. I think maybe in hindsight I was being unfair to Zimmer. When he's mimicking Vangelis I tended to not notice, and when he did anything that wasn't like Vangelis I tended to notice a lot.

I should clarify, in order to qualify there should be a diegetic reason for this type of action other than the hero being a gigantic rear end in a top hat.

Diegetic reason: trailer homes are small and there's not much room to fight

I just finished watching Blade Runner 2017, HD remaster. I must say, I was really surprised that almost a third of the movie consisted of entirely new scenes! They were pretty good too! Splicing in present-day Ford was a bit jarring, though.

Gosling did a good job, and it almost felt like he was meant to be in the first cut of the movie. I feel like the character was a bit wasted on a remaster though. I would have loved to watch him in a sequel or a spin off.
