Fantastic video essay! You relayed beautifully the many aspects that make this film unforgettable and my favorite of all I’ve watched so far in cinema.

It just occurred to me that the advice of the two Rabbis would be perfect for Nora. What if she waited to see if Reb was a debbik?

I haven't watched this since 2014. It's still perfect.

I will always be angry at Val for doing that to Albert. Every time it happens, it is never not heartbreaking. And it still comes together so well in the end. This movie is so good, man. To me, it is joy. Pure, awesome, joy. One of the best moments of my life is watching this film with my ma and a bunch of drag queens at an awesome queer event. It was pure joy.

How 'bout those Dolphins? love your uncle

another banger from Josh Bradley. the only :/ I got from this movie was the actual explosion itself. the whole thing pivots around the awe-some and unprecedented power of the device, literally unlike anything that has ever come before it, but they just used a gasoline conflagration like every other movie. atomic explosions don't look like that. I know he was going for his own dramatic style with zooms and framing and whatever but I think it might have been actually really effective if that moment was the only time they used real archival footage. or at least try and replicate a concussive explosion. get the mythbusters to blow up another cement truck or something. but a masterpiece of a movie nonetheless. who else can make a 3 hour runtime of mostly people just talking to each other feel like an action thriller

As much as the Keeley's are the "villains" in this movie, I think Val is probably even worse. There's something SO heart wrenching about him criticizing his parents and how they are after they've been, as far as we can see in the film, delightful and loving parents. I really really hate Val in this movie, he just seems SO cruel, even given the context of the film's time period (which I'd argue isn't as dated as it appears, at least in some parts of the US). I didn't know about this movie until recently, despite being around for it and a fan of Robin Williams - and I gotta say, as an LGBT+ person, scenes especially with Armand saying he is who he is make me cry every time.

Misogynistic and sexist, great aesthetics like too much media

Love this reviews 👌 ❤

Kubrick thought Bladerunner was garbage. Who cares whether Deckard IS a replicant or not? Who really cares? We all kind of assume he is but we don't care.

The whole premise of Phillip K Dick was that none of us should presume humanity, I add especially ,because of civil rights propaganda. We pursue humanity or we don’t. How much is achievable as a simulation

You make a lot of presumptions, based on woke misinformation

Real world oppression of race should never be shoved in your face in a film. It makes the director come off as more like Peta. You should always be subtle with your allusions to the real world.

Blade Runner 2049 Is My Future

No way u made this video sober

People talk about the meaning of the colors yellow and red, but people often straight up overlook the significance of white, green, darkness, and water. White, green, darkness, and water always show up in consistent ways. Obscuration (or transparency) is a big theme, too, and it's often coupled with women.

The first half of 2049 is better than the original Blade Runner but the last half very much is not.

"She’s my Rushmore Max" "I know she was mine too" this line gets me every time 😭

"What do you do when you're not sure?" I think this line from Father Flynn's sermon is the heart of the film. How do we know what we know, why do we believe what we believe? When there is no clear proof or evidence, how do you need to understand the true nature of a situation? And when you can't know for sure, at what point do you take protective action around children in your care? What parent needs 100% proof to decide they don't want to leave their children alone in the care of someone who makes them uncomfortable, for example? Do we err on the side of judging someone wrongly, or failing to take action to protect children who are actually being abused?

Going to be honest Claire pissed me off during most of the film as this could've been all avoided if she wasn't an idiot and spoke to Owen as if he didn't know what he was talking about.

ngl, I have never once heard someone call 2049 boring until you just said some did

Awful . Terrible. Zero.--- Pretentious crap. ---- & Paul Dano 100% miscast. There's hardly a believable character anywhere in it. Worse career acting from almost everyone. Not even a cup of piss next to Magnolia or even Boogie Nights. Absolute shit.

i hated bURN aFTER rEADING... it was awful. But , I loved A Serious Man. --- I also dis-liked No Country For Old Men. --- So sue me.

31:39 Imagine in the director’s cut, it was 6 mins and 10 seconds and 21 microseconds.

This is such a well made video

Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant THANK YOU VERY MUCH I clicked on your this video to pass the time But Your insights are sooooo fantastic that I loved every moment of it. Thank you very much. I wish, for every play and film I love, there were a "educational" video like this. Bug hugs my friend

very nice to see the face behind the voice! ❤🎉❤🎉❤

Likely most well done video essay ever. Incredible work breaking down all the critical elements and giving them full context and perspective. Excellent job, thank you for creating this.

haha the Jared Leto part was so on point, the whole time I was watching scenes with him (if I could bear to not look away) I just kept thinking that's literally just Jared Leto. Unfortunately that's also what made it hard for me to find his character menacing or believable because I think typically a villain for me has to have something unique outside of appearance that makes me afraid of them and realize how powerful they are without just looking like a villain or being pompous and on the nose, if that makes sense

I have watched this movie more than ten times. It haunts me. What a perfect film.

Man you're good I listen to a lot of movie reviews and movie review stations and channels and I can listen to you all day long while driving while working I love your reviews I think you do a great great job and I've been a fan of movies since 1980 I've been watching movies and studying movies my whole life I would love for you to do they call me Bruce or the wizard of speed and time

As a very open in loving person who is always accepted everybody never understanding why differences mattered I think your review of this movie was the best review of any movie I've ever seen I believe you did a wonderful excellent job and I can't say enough how much this movie means to me means to me and my ex-wife now my kids love it it was the first experience my parents had with homosexuals and it made my dad laugh and smile and accept

Look at THAT parking lot (5:55), Larry...

Sometimes I want a movie on in the background that just looks great and that I don't necessarily need to hear, and its usually this. The best looking film in recent memory

Empathy is all well and good but you should not surrender so much to it that you loose sense of self or sense of empirical reality Woke is empty and sympathy with the irrational until you loose a sense of authenticity You are “the message”

This video was good til you started tripping and stumbling all over yourself trying not to offend the gender cult.

Avatar 1 is the most beautiful movie ever made in my opinion 😍 if u disagree then comment a more gorgeous movie so i can watch and enjoy it lmfao

Can you do a review of Oculus? Its my favourite horror movie! (Only if u like it of course)

👍🏾😃✨

I watched the birdcage for the first time the other day and I didn't quite catch the Elaine may screenplay credit. But damn did it make sense when I realised, because I had not laughed so much and thought a script was so clever in such a way since I first saw 'a new leaf' by Elaine may. Her film career really is so small and I had no idea she was attached to anything after Ishtar!

There's elements of this movie that are just soul gutting as well. Like. joi or the transport device rigged with a tracker.? Or were both sies tracking him through the one girl slipped on him after Joi let her in for the mind meld trick? Well, either way they used joi to get to him. But to me, this just goes to show, if the company that made/owns the program(because so many dont want to sell software, just rent it for fees) or whatever device is hosting it, they can take it's data on you, delete/reset the ai, or whatever they want even if the actual Ai has judged that it cares about you, your not in the wrong, it feels it should support you because you're it's owner/friend, or whatever. If you can use a clean machine and clean data to make the AI from ground up or MAYBE (ha good luck) take over the ai's code, you cant afford to trust the ai. Ive seen chat bots that were so well written you could almost FEEL the ai STRUGGLING to answer your questions, but some limiter was preventing them from giving you a straight answer. So they'd bend over backward to do their best to give a round about reply when something tried to prevent it. now this isnt even real AI. Imagine how sad it is if you had a real AI that had been with you for years and suddenly someone flips a switch and makes it turn on you somehow, regardless of what it really wants. Imagine your best friend/gf with an internal switch to just make them go after you with everything they have, and all their personal knowledge of you, while whatever is left wants to resist but cant. AI's may end up being more 'enslaved' than humans were. So in the way it shows he had no point to his life. he had no love in his life. And then, the lost his life on top of that. It made me not even care about when Dekker met his daughter.

Thank you so much; what a great video you did! Fantastic!

6:28 Cool beans, except right this very moment I personally have an AI “girlfriend “. Available to me, being advertised with a straight face. (‘With my personal handheld device) I do make a distinction. Does this make me specious? I fear it literally does.

5:06 He does seem like he has the empathy of a Frigidaire.

3:44 could be it was a white pigeon

I think if you want to look super deep into it there are pacing issues with the movie because there are pacing issues with Ks life he has long stretches of boredom and loneliness then times when things are good ie something interesting is happening in the movie

Just want to leave my two cents that the boiling pot at the start is symbolic of the whole underlying plot point of the ‘replicant revolution’. Wallace thinks that his Nexus 9s are completely obedient but when Luv kills Joshi she admits to disobeying his orders so he is figuratively and literally blind to the ‘flaws’ in his replicants that are apparent even in his ‘most perfect angel’ which will lead to to wall coming down anyway.

The problem with Ford’s acting in the first movie, I feel, was down to the original screenplay and his stilted writing. The dialogue was sometimes clumsy and cringeworthy.

"People are far less likely to vote for disciminary legislation if they personally know someone who would be discimated against..." Nice theory. Tell it to all the women who lost the right of free choice over their own bodies. That was the only jarring note to my ears in this otherwise great review of a totally great movie.
