Blade Runner 2 anyone?


HEADPHONES

They'll ruin it, there hasn't been a good sequel since Wayne's World 2. The original BR wasn't perfect but the Director's Cut was magnificent. Probably the best set design of any movie except Alien.

 

You can't make ambiguous movies any more, everything has to be spoon fed to mouth breathers or they choke on their popcorn and the focus groups shut it down.

The book by Philip K Dick was better than the film. Is BR2 based on a 2nd book?

 

Loved the final scene with Rutger Hauer. How the cyborgs were suddenly more human than their creators.

 

And the soundtrack too.

I thought the first film was fantastic, watching it as a kid it just blew you away - the drizzly weather neon lit scenery, the way it turned the perceived bad guys into the more human good ones, made you rethink why Ford was doing what he did. It was also one of those first films to put the future as something other than shiny lovely tech (like we saw with something like Star Trek) and more gritty and actually something you feared rather than looked forwards to.

One of the most artful, meaningful epics on what it is to be human, ever made. I'm worried that no.2 will not be able to do justice to its predecessor.

 

If an alien came to me and said 'what does it mean to be human?', I'd send him to watch Bladerunner and Watchmen and then report back if he had any questions.

Not (based on theatrical version, my opinion, intimations were red herrings).

 

EDIT: If you don't want to know exactly how the movie handles the question cos you've never seen it or don't remember, there's no need to read this until after you've watched the Director's cut.
