I noticed that true love in the movie is only shown between people who can't touch each other (Joi and Kay, Deckard and his daughter) while fake love is shown by physical touch and kissing (Wallace and Love, Kay and Love). Deckard says in the film "Sometimes to love someone you have to be a stranger."

My read on Joi was that she was just a mirror. All she ever does is feed K’s dreams and aspirations back to him. When she convinces him to take a course of action, its because deep down, thats what he wants to do anyways. During the “good joe” scene, he finally understands that she was never special or unique and neither was he.

In the original the character of Roy skirted the edges of these ideas, but it didn’t dive too deep. Instead, the film fumbled around with Roy’s messiah complex and the themes became muddled. 2049 is a lot more focused, and as a result, much richer.

The problem is audiences have been so dumbed down by endless cookie cutter action films that if a movie is just constant dopamine hit pretty colors and explosions they can’t get into. Back in the day before CGI movies have to tell a story. They had to engage peoples minds and the audience was open to that engagement. Now people have zero attention span. A fantastic movie like this that’s a slow burn pulling you into deep and complex philosophical thought is just ignored by many people.

What the film asks is not whether you were born human, or made human, but what you can do with the life you have been given. K makes his life meaningful in the end as he gives Deckard a good ending to his own, a daughter he can have a relationship with. It didn’t matter who he or Deckard were in the beginning, they became human through their choices. Great stuff.

I think that, for a lot of people, the deepest, most personal themes in anything profound, like these films, needs to sit within them for a while, and just...be there. Instead of relying on our conscious mind, which many of us think is so clever, these deeper things migrate to, and are gradually addressed, by the subconscious mind, which we don't have much control over. It controls a lot of *us*, though. The subconscious mind is the 90% of the iceberg that is unseen underwater, while our waking, conscious mind is just the literal tip of the iceberg --the 10% we see. But the subconscious mind does most of the "heavy lifting" of running our bodies, and our lives. We choose to celebrate our clever conscious minds because we are usually the driver of that, in control. We don't drive the subconscious mind very much at all, and though it is vital, it is also a mystery even to us, individually. We don't command it, it is powerful & essential for life function, along with some intuitive or instinctual reactions that baffle even ourselves, and sometimes, the things that our conscious mind misses or skips over, our deep subconscious catches, and mulls over, slowly, at its pace, not ours. I think the delays in coming to grips with the complex existential topics are because of where the reaction happens.
I saw this movie a second time and it blew my mind. So deep, so passionate, so personal for me. I felt K’s pain, confusion, anger and love in almost every scene. The loneliness and drudgery of everyday life is relatable for me
The unicorn does not mean Deckard is a replicant. It shows that Gaff was in the room while Rachael was asleep, but he decided to let her go. This is also why Deckard smiled when he saw the unicorn.

I enjoyed 2049 quite a lot and I find the soundtrack to be on par with Vangelis'.
This movie had a profoundness I didn't expect. Lots of twists. It also convinced me that Deckard was a replicant. Older men can't kick ass the way he did. I'm still trying to figure out Joi. She is a hologram with the ability to learn human emotion. She understood empathy, love and sacrifice. Jared Leto's character was a complete psycho. He was SCARY! What a rollercoaster of emotion.....wonderful flick

after watching Dune recently (fantastic film, stoked for part 2), I've brought up this movie to a couple of my sci-fi-loving friends in the context of Dune/Villenueve's work. Neither one of them has yet to see this movie. "It's a masterpiece of modern sci-fi", I said. It's amazing how many people STILL haven't seen this film.

I watched dune first, then I just recently watched this. I found myself about 5 minutes in wondering if this was the same director as Dune. Keep in mind I don’t have anything to do with hollywood, I could never tell you a name of a director and I am completely out of the loop when it comes to cinema news and information. I could name maybe 4 actors/actresses from memory without thinking hard about it. My guess was purely from the style of film and some of the scenes being so reminiscent of dune. I could almost *feel* it was the same person telling me a story.
"Every civilization was built off the back of a disposable work horse", which is ultimately K's journey.
The scene where Joi overlaps herself with the sex worker makes me tear up just thinking about it. It's so beautiful. That scene touched me deeper than almost anything else I've seen.

Thank you so much for making this. This movie clearly explains the meaning of life. To mean something in this world you must have meaning to someone else. For your life to have meaning you must mean more to someone than you do to yourself. Crazy a replicant had to point that out to us hey. Nice video my dude. Love your work.
idk if anyone commented this but one thing that i just know realized is that when Joe and Sapper are fighting and Joe is on top of Sapper , Sapper uses the blade on the floor and stabs his arm when he could of stabbed anywhere if he really wanted to, i thought that was weird but then later on in the film Freysa says “Sapper let you kill him” which makes sense as to why he didn’t stab him somewhere fatal.

I think him dying at the end proved the Replicant leaders statement "To die for a cause dear to you is the most human thing you can do." This is reflected with the snow falling on him at the end that calls back to him feeling the snow when he truly believes he's human earlier in the film

Most younger generations, not all of course, are more interested in thoughtless fighting and zero story, character development. Not a movie like this which makes you use the grey matter between your ears. BR 2049 is one of the best movies out there.
The only problem I have with this movie is that I haven't seen it on a big screen. Its a masterpiece.
So glad to see a FCE video on this, finally got around to watching it. Wish I saw it on the big screen will definitely make a chance to see it if it's re-release this year.
great breakdown and analysis
I really like your brief analysis at the start. I think for a lot of people getting into blade runner, some of the themes might've been lost on them or it might've gone over their heads (like me), this put things back into perspective as I hadn't seen blade runner since I was a little kid and didn't have an interest in it until 2049 came out and was woefully confused. If nothing else at least you can appreciate the visuals throughout the movie until you get to watch an analysis afterwards lmfao.
Wow! Great video essay on Blade Runner.
Thank you so much!!
Another amazing video :)
An excellent precis of a sublime movie. Ties with blade runner and alien as my all time favourite movies
When I was a kid I thought I knew everything. Films like this show me I know nothing.
Enjoyed this exploration and this film tremendously....🙂👍
Words can scarcely do this film justice. The potential for it to be a total mess was high, but for me this one perfectly compliments the original and in some ways exceeds it. Me and my best friend obsessed over the first film as kids and we went to see it at the cinema. Its easily my best cinematic experience to date. The acting, score, visuals and tone were all first class. If this ever gets a re-release I'm seeing it again without hesitation.
Fantastic video
Outstanding video 👏👏 I’ve throughout my life had memories that had never happened to me, even sometimes even remembering something someone in my family remembers they did but not myself, I don’t remember a lot of my childhood and I’m only 20 just things here and there little details I can’t yet see the importance of but nothing significant I seem to luckily remember the good more vividly than bad, I’ve many times asked or talked to one of my family members about something I remember very well, only to be told “that never happened” leading me to believe some of my memories were just dreams at some point in my life that felt real I stuck to them. The farthest memory I have is my mom reading to me and my brother in a big house near a lake, I was 3 at this time. Other few memories are like this, but most of my child hood memories are slim unless I think back to school that I remember a lot from one grade to the next. Wish I remembered more & in greater detail of people not on this earth anymore unfortunately I remember little of them but enough to say I loved them.

3:20, I would like to get into one reason. Deckard is not a replicant, and the origami bird does not suggest it.

That was always my impression as well. And fwiw, Hampton Francher, who wrote the script, and Harrison Ford, who played Deckard, both said, emphatically, that Deckard is NOT a replicant. That was good enough for me. Just because Ridley Scott wanted him to be does not make it so.

Reminds me of the end of parasyte, and the idea that no species could ever really understand another, because you can only measure its existence by your own, and since any two creatures are so vastly different, measuring the humanity of something is essentially impossible, as we can only understand it as “how human is it” but another creatures existence might be so far removed from our own that that metric is useless. And this discussion gets much more interesting with things so close to humans like the replicants or the AI in this movie. Amazing movie, and an amazing breakdown of it as always. Love the content
Thank you!
This is the good stuff.
I never wanted a sequel to sully Blade Runner. I finally watched this and was amazed. I like this analysis. I had to see Blade Runner about 5 times before it became my favorite movie and have watched it 50 or more times. I've only seen 2049 twice and only partly grasp it. I will watch it many more times, for while I'm absorbing the themes, I'm engrossed by the design, pacing, and acting. Like BR, it's beautiful to watch while I'm piecing it together. It's a good sequel.
Thank you! Thought this movie was amazing. The original blade runner film is also really good.
I think consciously choosing to embrace failure, in the hope of success, defines what it means to be human.
