Because it was done by a master. The man spent 20 years delivering flicks by Babe and Happy Feet only to unleash ten oscar nominated madness of Fury Road.

:goodpost:

I suppose he probably wanted to set out and see if he could match and or better the likes of Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior :)rock). It goes without saying it wiped the floor with Beyond Thunderdome.

For me:

Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior
Mad Max: Fury Road
Mad Max

Denis-villeneuve is well on his way though.

I'm in lust with 2049 and I can't wait to get my hands on the blu ray and watch it to death :lol
Sicario and Arrival were/are both excellent so I'm looking forward to what he picks up as his next project.

Nolan, Tarantino, Scorsese (my favourite director) and now Villeneuve are one I always keep an eye out for in terms of confirmed directorial sign offs.
 
This is the type of film that would be great as a second watch with friends, some beers and food....

Then a Long analysis after...its very layers and dynamic.

I agree , most people won’t get it.

i think people would “get it” just fine. it’s their attention span that needs work.

Thats a good point. It’s too long for most people....

That’s part of why I like it, you get the slow burn and can really dive into watching the actors work out the character and what they are trying to emote....which is a real trick considering RG is playing a supposed unfeeling robot.

This is a film that absolutely demands the slow burn. Like when he's down in the furnace looking for the horse. Of course you know he's going to find it but the way the film draws out every second in real time just adds so much more of an impact to when he finally does.
 
Who were the slave kids? Were they human?
Why were the girls memories implanted in K (about hiding the horse?)

There has only ever been one replicant child so yes the slave kids were human.
Ana's memories were implanted into K for assumedly the same reason all replicants were filled with false memories and that is to provide an illusion of emotional development and maturity. Tyrell called it a cushion but I can't remember if it was spelled out that specifically in this film.
 
I know why replicants have false memories but the girl said using real memories was illegal.
I didnt understand why she would put her own unless it was part of a plan to have him find her or something.

Why did jared leto killed that naked robot lady?
 
Yeah but the way she answered his question made it sound like she knew that some of her real memories were going out. When he asked if real memories could be implanted she just said "that would be illegal" instead of "no of course not."

Wallace's dialogue during the "birthing" scene suggested that he was disgusted with the limitations of his new top of the line model in light of the news that one of Tyrell's "perfected" replicants had been discovered. So he just killed her and focused all his attention on finding Deckard and the child.

I translated this as he is disgusted/frustrated with himself. He is able to create the replicants, flawless in every way imaginable, but he doesn't know how to make them reproduce. So he slices the stomach (almost like a C-section) but no fetus there. Hence, he is on a hunt to find the one child that was born of a replicant so that he can study it.

I got the same impression.....

Like throwing a copying machine across the room that doesn’t work....

It’s just more horrible .....

So... if there's such a surplus of humans (to the point where there's always countless hundreds or even thousands of homeless human kids at that place,) why do they need replicants everywhere on earth?

That was the key difference between BR and the sequel - in BR, replicants were just labor etc. in off-world dangerous jobs, millions or billions of miles form earth, and they were banned from earth. But in BR 2049, it seems like there are now several different types/versions of replicant, in huge numbers, that are freely living normal lives among humans on earth.

For me, this kinda muddled both the world and what Jared Leto was doing and planning. Like... why do you need replicants to conceive babies when humans seem to be doing just fine in that department? You'd think if the human population was fading away, then it would be a pressing issue - but hundreds or thousands of kids (are they supposed to be orphans?) disproves that.

:yuck


Looper was... decent. :lol

Little did we know Rian would put us all in a time machine back to the late 70's/early 80's... and be waiting there for us with a shotgun.:horror

I know these things seen obvious but for some reason i thought there might had been a deeper or hidden meaning behind them lol.

The kid part confused me because why would a replicant need memories of childhood, at the end it made sense because it was her own memory, but at the beginning it didnt make sense. Unless the kids were replicants that grew.

Jared leto killing the girl robot felt strange because he was talking about the need for hundreds of robots and yet hes killing them. ( like when they shot the other one at the end)
Seemed counter productive. As mad as he was. I thought maybe there was more to his scene but it guess it didnt.

I guess i had those questions because i thought maybe there were other meanings behind it. But it seems pretty straight forward.
