It’s THE perfect sequel. It doesn’t feel sloppy, or like an attempt to make a franchise. It’s just a solid film made for the fans, and acts as a love letter to Scott’s original.
I agree. The only thing that's off putting in this movie is Deckard's appearance and role. I feel like Villeneuve was pressured by the studio to put Deckard in the movie, so they could have Harrison play in the movie, and have his face plastered on every poster, even though his role in the movie wasn't that big. And tbf, it's not that the role was bad, or the performance or anything. I guess its just a testament to Villeneuve's directing abilities
@@MM-vs2et Actually, it's probably the first real acting performance Ford has given in years. That said, it could have been more effective if his presence in the film had been a surprise.
I so agree. It didn’t feel like a sequel just made for the sake of making a sequel. It felt that this movie had an actual plot, and a true story to tell.
i dont know i thought it was pretty bad. i mean i enjoyed it at the time but looking back its not good. the villain was terrible and thick as a plank. his master plan was to make self replicating replicants.... ok well now your bankrupt! the fact Deckard was in the film 100% takes away from the original blade runner as well. no cliffhanger, no more mystery, Deckard is human end of story. they managed to flub the second film and spoil the first one all at the same time :/
@@TheFloorface I can see where you are coming from, but I have to disagree. To me, the villain was not the central part of the film, and their motives were ultimately superficial. The villain's purpose was to act as the mere catalyst by which K could surmount his internal conflict; that being the humanity of the replicants, and knowing that his choices - though leading to his death - would give someone else a worthful life, and in the meantime ascend him to the status of a human. I thought it was such a courageous and well executed direction to take the sequel.
@@TheFloorface Aside from the fact I disagree with you, which is fine, you're mistaken about Deckard being confirmed to be a human. They never say one way or another what he is by the end of 2049 (although there are clues, contrary to what you said, that Deckard is in fact a replicant- such as Gaff saying that there was "something in his eyes".)
@@cadenwattsfilm do you have a source for that? been hot minute since i saw the first film but pretty sure it was explicitly stated it was against the law to make a replicant with a life span exceeding 4 years. that being about the time you start having the risk of them developing self awareness. even if the company was stupid enough to risk making one (although why would they? a built in 4 year life span on their product insures repeat purchases) they're not gunna be so dumb as to sell the one illegal model they made to the police :/
Originally Rutger Hauer was meant to die in gentle snow and not rain but they could not create it correctly at the time so it became rain. ...nice that they stuck it in at the end of this film.
K started the movie as an ordinary replicant who was designed to obey. He then goes through the movie thinking that he may be the chosen one. And then, the rug is yanked from under him and it turns out he's not the chosen one. He really was just an ordinary replicant. He still didn't let that stop him from stopping the bad guys and saving the day. K ends the movie as an extraordinary replicant who made his own choice. To me, I think that's all he ever wanted to be.
In the end all we have with us is our choices. They make us who we are and in turn who we are determines what we choose. Replicant or Human we come into this world with nothing and when we die we take only our deeds both good and ill. The moral of the Blade Runner movies, for me anyway, is that you can't wait to begin living your life. You just have to live it. So many people wait for it. Wait to have money, wait to have a house, wait to have a car. They wait and wait and wait. Some even wait for the afterlife to have a fulfilling experience. Our time is limited. We cannot get back the years we spent waiting. Now is all that we have, now is the most important moment and you must make it a moment that you can be happy with. Because when it's all over and we go our memory will eventually fade. Even the snow melts and washes away.
Batty was afraid the moments of his life would be lost and forgotten. Tears in the rain. K was content at the end knowing that the moments of his life were lived.
Beautifully put. Just rewatched it yesterday in 4K. Had me in tears. Like the other 6 times I had already seen it. The performances.. I mean, wow. Gosling's mannerisms. Subtlety. WOW.
I always cry when he says "all the best memories are hers", because to me what he'd been through and felt are way more beautiful and meaningful than that. Of course his life as a replican isn't "pretty", but it is "real", he IS living.
His own is not the best, but he surely made it count, he's been used time and time again, but in the end... He finally chose for himself, the memory may not be him, but the emotion is every bit pure. He shared a heartfelt moment with Deckard, that warranted his place as Ana's brother in my book, the little scene they shared had that chemistry upon rewatch. They're family, not by blood, nor plot, simply by emotional bond, attachment.
This scene was perfect. Absolutely perfect. In the first movie it was in the rain and in sequel in the snow. All these moments lost like your hand in the river trying to hold the flow of water. You touched it for but a moment and that moment is gone just a fast.
And I think this clip left out an important piece. As K wad dying and Decker opens the door his daughter says "just a moment... Beautiful isn't it?" Referencing the tears in rain monologue.
also reminds of the lyrics from "dust in the wind" by kansas, 1977. "I close my eyes Only for a moment and the moment's gone All my dreams Pass before my eyes, a curiosity [Refrain] Dust in the wind All they are is dust in the wind"
Do you want to know why Denis is an absolute beast of a director? Because where others chose to show not tell, he decided not to show as well. Instead he let you listen. Those notes you hear will forever be bound to Rutger Hauer’s brilliant monologue. A monologue which cannot and will not be surpassed. That’s why Denis doesn’t even try, instead he lets your brains editing software put it together and we as an audience know exactly what is going through K’s mind without him uttering a single word or even having an expressive performance. I’m sure somewhere down the line the Mandela effect will leave people convinced that K also said “tears in the rain” and that is directing way beyond camera placement and actor performances. Denis is simply on another level.
@@davidh1958 you are correct of course but I believe it was my English failing me. Also in my defense I can say that the track from the OST is called “Tears in the rain” :)
@Dwayne Dibley how do you make a sequel that's original? Actually, for a sequel I think this is incredibly original. The first time I watched it, I marveled at how every pronounced feature of this film, the stage design, the costume design, the music, the art direction, everything, nodded to the original but changed it somehow. The cinematography was excellent but not the same, the imagery was excellent but not the same. The plot was excellent, but not the same. The message was similar, but not the same. A superior work!
@Dwayne Dibley you kidding? This movie works well as a standalone film, very few bits of this film felt like it took the original and copied it. My brother saw this film first before watching the original because he didn’t even know their was a previous film, and he actually disliked the original because he felt the sequel was a superior improvement over the classic. He even came up to me and said “This film doesn’t look or feel like a sequel, it feels like it’s own film.”
Didn't look like the old Blade Runner world at all. This is not film noir. The score is mostly ear piercing drones. Nothing like the beautiful Vangelis score.
Some people say that the original had a grittiness and dirtiness to it while the new one looks so clean even with the dust. I think this scene captures the difference between the original and the sequel perfectly. The 2049-look seems more pretty and organized. Still the environment feels way more oppressive in the sequel because you can't hide your tears in the rain anymore, it's snowing; and snow is more beautiful than rain but harsher and much much colder. The beauty of snow hides its oppressiveness, like corporations and JOI seem more beautiful than ever now, but their beauty is only a facade. That is why the clean look of this movie works, because its meant to be deceptive.
Tbh, humanity in the Blade Runner films is probably one of the worst futures for our species I think I've seen on film. Like, imagine basically making techno-slavery, then it backfires, but you apparently can't function without making near-perfect human androids so you decide 'Hey, fuck it, let's do it again'.
a great moment that parallels the original in multiple ways, excellent cinematography and acting, although id argue that the seawall fight or the "you look lonely" are more powerful and a better contender for the original tears in the rain scene than this one
I don't think simply pointing your camera at big empty locations equals "excellent cinematography", its too easy and lazy what 2049 did. Water fight is empty of any details or background (no seawall is even visible, no sky, just almost totally dark water) ... the Las Vegas streets does not have any road signs, street lamps, abandoned vehicles, no trashes, no dangling wires at all ?? Really ? It just looks like they are too lazy to make it look like a deserted Las Vegas, they just put some statues so it must be Las Vegas ? What a big fat joke is that ? The casino lounge is just a lounge like any we see in most places today, just with more light shows ... I bet Madonna's big concert at the height of her fame in the past has more better light shows than that ... Seriously the giant hologram scene plus the rooftop scene in the rain are maybe the only few scenes that looks beautiful atmospherically in the movie, the rest really feels hollow, too smooth, too lacking in any contextural descriptive details to be meaningfully beautiful ... Of course a lot of people are easily wowed by shots of big empty locations, but the artistic efforts involved in making such scenes are so minimal ... compare that the the rich culutral details, the mind boggling designs in the first movie, the sequel really feels hollow and lazy ... you should watch the making of documentary for the first Blade Runner, it will blow your mind the artistry involved in things like painting the megabuildings backgrounds, the all sorts of little meaningful details they jam into each and every single frame of the movie ..
@@88feji I know this is an old comment, but I wanted to point out that the things you are referring to are all related to set design, not cinematography. So it can still be said that 2049 has excellent cinematography.
@@88feji this is an older comment, but I do have to point out 2049 also used real miniature sets for the city amongst other things. You'd be surprised how little of it is actually CGI
A hero that humanity needed,but never asked for, he is a hero who doesn’t matter. Even if the replicants of that year weren’t supposed to have any kind of humanity, he still got it at the end, making humanity seem as the machine and the machine as human itself
"a hero who doesn't matter" That is the beauty of this movie. K gets nothing but a short life and zero recognition--but he gets closure knowing that he did something good for someone. He never mattered at all to anyone, until his final act. The brief little smile he shows right before this is probably the most moving emotion the audience ever sees... And it is moving.
These films are beautiful and terrifyingly prophetic... It is inevitable that some time soon we will create synthetic life... The ethical and spiritual impacts will be endless and this film may turn out to be an unprecedented prediction for mankind
I saw bladerunner in IMAX one of the best experiances I've had with a movie, this movie is meant to be played loud, the gunshots and brutal moments, the deafening sounds of machines and vehicles, the overwhelming hum of the city's occupants, the insanity of the tests they did on replicants, these were all counteracted with the quiet moments just like this, it really gave you an insight into his mental struggles. All the horrible moments in life are loud and brutal, and all the beautiful moments are quiet.
On the one hand I feel bad, but I said to myself when this came out "It has to be a flop just like the original, so I know this is a true masterpiece that only the few will appreciate upon its release, yet will eventually be appreciated as such in time."
Mortality. I have lost e everyone I ever loved very early, including my beautiful partner who died suddenly on Monday night. My life has been utterly appalling but I always have tried to follow the Golden Rule. My liver is fucked so I probaly wont have long to join her. Good people always suffer whilst the evil thrive. It's why we invented gods. If you have done one good thing for just one person in ypur life then until they pass you never really die at all. Phil. ❤
When this came out, I was afraid it might be crap, like most sequels. I never so happy to be wrong, in my life. This is a masterpiece, introducing new characters and plotlines, while respecting the original classic.
@@firstnamelastnamethirdname why does evety futuristic dystopian story have a depressing ending lmao I just beat cyberpunk then watched the bladerunner movies and geezzzzzz
K is able to feel the snow (which is by the way frozen rain, calling back to the Tears in Rain ending of the original but this time in a more serene and content way) while the “chosen one” has never known the feeling of snow on her skin. He may be synthetic, but he has the experience of life that Deckard’s daughter never had. And yet she is seen as more valuable to the Replicant revolt simply because she is unordinary. Such an incredible message, and the perfect way to make a sequel. It should be considered one of the best films of the 21st century, and one of the best science-fiction films ever. Villeneuve and the scriptwriters are geniuses.
It's ironic at the end that K is an artificial human being that is living in the "real world", i.e. experiencing real snow in this scene, whereas Deckard's daughter is a real human being who's living in an artificial world with artificial snow.
The essence of this, what makes us feel uncomfortable, is the realisation of the confrontation with death - all on ones experiences become nothing - human or replicant.
K grew and suffered knowing he was just a stepping stone for something greater than himself. He died silently on those steps and never uttered a complaint, merely acceptance. He was truly remarkable.
Amazing movie, just perfect!!!! I watched about a quarter of it one day about a year after it was released because when I got that far I realized it was so good that I had to watch it with my dad. He introduced me to the original and knew about all the little secrets and stuff years before anyone else did, he knows a lot about film and worked in movies and stuff. Anyway my dad and I finally watched it this weekend and we were amazed; movies (especially sequels and reboots) aren’t really that good these days. But we watched it and loved it, so many amazing moments; and I’m so glad I’ll be able to always have that memory of watching it with him. And btw, the fact that he gave the movie his stamp of approval says some very good things for this movie. It makes me happy to see all these other comments of people that also liked the movie. I was worried it would be under appreciated but clearly it isn’t! 🥳
i like the fact that the original movies ending sequence takes place in the snow, where we see a broken version of roy accepting his fate, dying knowing that his kind will continue to suffer for years. but the ending of 2049 takes places in the snow, showing that in the end, replicants did end up with a voice. i like that a lot.
She passed very early just as I had enough money to take us away. I am totally alone now no family no friends and homeless. This world is a cesspool. Phil.
I frequently revisit this scene. Fighting so hard for a hope you know exists, even if it isn't for you, is a very specific emotion that is almost impossible to convey with a word. It takes a story like this.
I absolutely love the motif of touch and feeling being what makes you human. Whether it be physically touching snow, bees or another human, or even feeling the emotion of memories and human interaction. K may be a replicant, but he feels and experiences both the physical and emotional world around him. So beautiful
Loved this film. Especially since in a big way K actually is still a 'Chosen One' even though he wasn't Rachel's child, since he was able to disobey and deviate from his baseline even though he was part of the new line of replicants that the opening scroll states definitively to be obedient. Was K the first of the new generation to rebel? That seems almost as startling and compelling a fact as the realization that Wallace's replicants could bear children. And he didn't even have to 'see a miracle' like the first replicant says. K just had to see the hope of a miracle to be free.
born as a replicant, die as human, he won his soul

Of course a lot of people are easily wowed by shots of big empty locations, but the artistic efforts involved in making such scenes are so minimal ... compare that the the rich culutral details, the mind boggling designs in the first movie, the sequel really feels hollow and lazy ... you should watch the making of documentary for the first Blade Runner, it will blow your mind the artistry involved in things like painting the megabuildings backgrounds, the all sorts of little meaningful details they jam into each and every single frame of the movie ..
Stay mad. I think the ‘big empty locations’ are beautiful
@@88feji I know this is an old comment, but I wanted to point out that the things you are referring to are all related to set design, not cinematography. So it can still be said that 2049 has excellent cinematography.
@@88feji All i can say is well said, summed it up perfectly.
@@88feji this is an older comment, but I do have to point out 2049 also used real miniature sets for the city amongst other things. You'd be surprised how little of it is actually CGI
This is one of the greatest movies ever made, in my opinion.
A hero that humanity needed,but never asked for, he is a hero who doesn’t matter. Even if the replicants of that year weren’t supposed to have any kind of humanity, he still got it at the end, making humanity seem as the machine and the machine as human itself
"a hero who doesn't matter"
That is the beauty of this movie. K gets nothing but a short life and zero recognition--but he gets closure knowing that he did something good for someone. He never mattered at all to anyone, until his final act. The brief little smile he shows right before this is probably the most moving emotion the audience ever sees... And it is moving.
These films are beautiful and terrifyingly prophetic... It is inevitable that some time soon we will create synthetic life... The ethical and spiritual impacts will be endless and this film may turn out to be an unprecedented prediction for mankind
I saw bladerunner in IMAX one of the best experiances I've had with a movie, this movie is meant to be played loud, the gunshots and brutal moments, the deafening sounds of machines and vehicles, the overwhelming hum of the city's occupants, the insanity of the tests they did on replicants, these were all counteracted with the quiet moments just like this, it really gave you an insight into his mental struggles.
All the horrible moments in life are loud and brutal, and all the beautiful moments are quiet.
"Dying for the right cause is the most human thing we can do."
Blade runner (1982) and blade runner 2049 (2017) are both very dramatic and sad
What I love most is how different the two films are, despite being a sequel.
Although a box office flop, in relation to its budget, everyone involved in making this film should be so proud. It’s a masterpiece.
there has never been another science fiction film like blade runner both films are perfect
When you have a Vangelis piece covered by Hans Zimmer… you know it’s going to be a masterpiece
“Dying for a cause is the most human thing to do”
to die in sacrifice for something greater, there is nothing more human. I love this movie so much!
Sequels don’t get any better than this, in todays time this is right up there with classics like godfather 2 empire strikes back and T2 ..
You've done a mans job joe...
On the one hand I feel bad, but I said to myself when this came out "It has to be a flop just like the original, so I know this is a true masterpiece that only the few will appreciate upon its release, yet will eventually be appreciated as such in time."
This was gosling’s best performance.
I loved this film, he genuinely thought he was a real boy, it worked for Pinocchio tho.
i wish this film made more money, so good
Love this director and his team who made two masterpieces. Prequel and sequel. Slow yet majestic.
Ridley Scott made Blade Runner. Villeneuve the sequel. Films were also made in different countries by different film crews
Best sequel that nobody saw.
Mortality.
I have lost e everyone I ever loved very early, including my beautiful partner who died suddenly on Monday night.
My life has been utterly appalling but I always have tried to follow the Golden Rule.
My liver is fucked so I probaly wont have long to join her.
Good people always suffer whilst the evil thrive.
It's why we invented gods.
If you have done one good thing for just one person in ypur life then until they pass you never really die at all.

This was a masterpiece of a sequel. One of the best ones made.
The best cyberpunk movie...
I really like that he lies on the staircase, It looks as if he is lying on the doorstep of heaven
"Dying for the right cause is the most human thing we can do"....
When this came out, I was afraid it might be crap, like most sequels. I never so happy to be wrong, in my life. This is a masterpiece, introducing new characters and plotlines, while respecting the original classic.
And then he wakes up to Johnny Silverhand...
"Wake the fuck up, Samurai..."
Damn K really isekai into Cyberpunk 2077 just to suffer again eh?
@@firstnamelastnamethirdname Why are we here...?
@@firstnamelastnamethirdname why does evety futuristic dystopian story have a depressing ending lmao I just beat cyberpunk then watched the bladerunner movies and geezzzzzz
Or he wakes up to hear this line: "The sky above the port was the color of television tuned to a dead channel."
We have a reputation to burn..
K is able to feel the snow (which is by the way frozen rain, calling back to the Tears in Rain ending of the original but this time in a more serene and content way) while the “chosen one” has never known the feeling of snow on her skin. He may be synthetic, but he has the experience of life that Deckard’s daughter never had. And yet she is seen as more valuable to the Replicant revolt simply because she is unordinary. Such an incredible message, and the perfect way to make a sequel. It should be considered one of the best films of the 21st century, and one of the best science-fiction films ever. Villeneuve and the scriptwriters are geniuses.
As soon as I heard that Major chord at 1:06, I knew what was coming and started crying.
Thanks to the great composer Hans Zimmer for this tribute to another great composer : Vangelis .R I P.
Hero is not chosen, only that he choose to be.
That sound man I get high just listening to it
It's ironic at the end that K is an artificial human being that is living in the "real world", i.e. experiencing real snow in this scene, whereas Deckard's daughter is a real human being who's living in an artificial world with artificial snow.
The essence of this, what makes us feel uncomfortable, is the realisation of the confrontation with death - all on ones experiences become nothing - human or replicant.
K grew and suffered knowing he was just a stepping stone for something greater than himself. He died silently on those steps and never uttered a complaint, merely acceptance. He was truly remarkable.
Bring him back.
Когда твоя жизнь один сплошной обман, но сделав что то хорошее ты становишься настоящим.
Amazing movie, just perfect!!!! I watched about a quarter of it one day about a year after it was released because when I got that far I realized it was so good that I had to watch it with my dad. He introduced me to the original and knew about all the little secrets and stuff years before anyone else did, he knows a lot about film and worked in movies and stuff. Anyway my dad and I finally watched it this weekend and we were amazed; movies (especially sequels and reboots) aren’t really that good these days. But we watched it and loved it, so many amazing moments; and I’m so glad I’ll be able to always have that memory of watching it with him. And btw, the fact that he gave the movie his stamp of approval says some very good things for this movie. It makes me happy to see all these other comments of people that also liked the movie. I was worried it would be under appreciated but clearly it isn’t! 🥳
i like the fact that the original movies ending sequence takes place in the snow, where we see a broken version of roy accepting his fate, dying knowing that his kind will continue to suffer for years. but the ending of 2049 takes places in the snow, showing that in the end, replicants did end up with a voice. i like that a lot.
Movie was such a masterpiece!!! ❤️
The whole movie been set in a dark grimy mood but the ending was pure white and clean. Maybe K finally found heaven before his "life" end
This is my favorite movie.
She passed very early just as I had enough money to take us away.
I am totally alone now no family
no friends and homeless.
This world is a cesspool.

"Dave don't go to sleep, Christmas dinner will be done soon we gotta spend time with family"
Me in the recliner: Ok...1:12
"Open the pod bay doors, Hal." "I'm sorry, Dave, but I can't do that."
good actor..maybe the best for the part
A masterpiece sequel to a masterpiece. Thank you Denis Villeneuve.
I frequently revisit this scene. Fighting so hard for a hope you know exists, even if it isn't for you, is a very specific emotion that is almost impossible to convey with a word. It takes a story like this.
I absolutely love the motif of touch and feeling being what makes you human. Whether it be physically touching snow, bees or another human, or even feeling the emotion of memories and human interaction. K may be a replicant, but he feels and experiences both the physical and emotional world around him. So beautiful
i'm so glad i made the decision to see this in the cinema when it came out and had a massive grin when tears in the rain played.
He made the one and only choice that could ever truly be his.
Time to rewatch this movie to refresh my personality.
The moment you finally realize that you only exist to be Barbie's sidekick.
this movie did mood and tone so well together it completely transports my mind and body to another location.
One day I’m taking a day off work and watching both films back to back, accompanied by Guinness and good quality crisps
"He used to be a big shot." God Bless our A.I. brothers and sisters.
Loved this film. Especially since in a big way K actually is still a 'Chosen One' even though he wasn't Rachel's child, since he was able to disobey and deviate from his baseline even though he was part of the new line of replicants that the opening scroll states definitively to be obedient. Was K the first of the new generation to rebel? That seems almost as startling and compelling a fact as the realization that Wallace's replicants could bear children.
And he didn't even have to 'see a miracle' like the first replicant says. K just had to see the hope of a miracle to be free.
Love this and the music. This movie is epic acting and visuals. One of the best sequels ever made !
Born replicant, die human.. earns a soul!
To die is also to have a soul.
Roy's life, like tears in rain;
K's life, like blood in snow.
a moment frozen in time....
The music is wonderful!
Man.. these movies had me feeling some type of emotions 😭
music so good it was used again 40+ years later!
