BLADE RUNNER 2049 - "2036: Nexus Dawn" Short

have you noticed something? the entire series put an emphasis on eyes as a symbol of humanity. you know, because eyes are the window to the soul...Wallace here is blind, yet presents himself as a an all knowing god of biotechnology. he can afford to have surgery to cure himself, but refuses, instead replacing his eyes with cold machinery later in 2049. its almost as if he views humanity as beneath him, and therefore wants to remain blind to it due its inherent impurity. he also refers to his creations as "angels", meaning his idea of being this new scientific god is to create his version of perfect life: devoid of humanity, cold, and completely obedient to him.

[@CodyChromeBand]

Mr mushroom it's incredibly obvious and common "symbolism" if we can even call it that at this point. You sound like an eighth grader

[@kukuricapica]

I agree with the symbolism but you also should look beyond what movie shows you. It's a social commentary on what means to be human but also how technology makes us less human. These "replicants" are better in every way than humans..they are stronger, they are smarter, they could be immortal yet they are used as slaves and treated like shit. Why do you think they are doing these baseline test ? It's because if a guy that can casually run through fucking concrete walls decides he won't take this shit anymore humanity would be in a lot of trouble. Wallace realizes see past our hypocrisy and knows that only replicants can take over mantle of humanity although yes, he would made them in his image. Anyway I guess I would embrace replicants in real live but the only way for all people to embrace this would be to make them inferior to us (dumb, not too strong atc.). Only then people won't fear them and fully embrace slavery..just like White people did to africans in America. They told people that they are animals and by enslaving them, they helped them.

[@TheMuph]

What makes Wallace such a terrifying villain is his unshakable belief that the things he does are necessary. He is all about Purpose and if you have no purpose in his great plan you are to be removed. He doesn't even hate you really he just doesn't need you. He's like some kind hyper-intelligent hive-minded insect that only looks like a human being.

[@anafernandamercadoaraujo8448]

I just have one thing to say about this scene: Jared Leto is absolutely phenomenal as an actor in Blade Runner 2049. Niander Wallace is such an intriguing character.

[@amanda15922]

Trivia. In Greek Mythology the prophet/oracle Tiresias was the most powerfull of all despite the fact the he was blind. He was both male and female, he was at the present and the future at the same time, he was among the living and the dead ones and full of lust, always giving his cryptic predictions that eventually came true e.g. he told about narcissus that he would thrive as long as he didn't know himself... so tiresias became in important figure in a lot of ancient stories and tragedies. Let's see what they have taken from that myth and put into this story.

[@mormegil231]

None of them...Maybe Hawkins is close but the rest are just really really rich guys that have endless resources to put up for the talented ppl to actually implement their ideas.

[@amanda15922]

"Tiresias" was able to see the future and give ambiguous answers about it based on Gods' voice. (In Greek mythologody there were plenty of Gods). He was respected among living and dead. I don't know if scientists can see the future, they mostly try to create it. Enterpreneurs? They are trying to catch up with it before the rest of us so that they can make a profit. "Tiresias" was kind of a mentor so I would love to say artists that through art they forsee the mistakes we will do because they most of them are already been made in the past. Scifi even though it's placed in another frame actually tells similar stories with ancient greek tragedies, because they all try to explore what means to be human, the mistakes to avoid, the lessons to be taken, the catharsis in the end, if there is any. (That's always my personnal opinion)

[@amanda15922]

@Meta Man In my humble opinion that happens mostly because while the western storytelling relies on an protagonist. a struggle and an antagonist the myths are talking about archetypes not actuall persons, even when they have given them names. An archetype can stand still within time and that's how it survives through thousands' years time. Thanks for your input :)

[@amanda15922]

@FROZEN EMPIRE antichrist is an antagonist, in terms of storytelling... so it's actually pretty easy to create an antagonist once you have a clear image of your protagonist. It can be a human, a meta-human, an A.I. an idea, whatever triggers people's imagination and feelings.

[@rwmdrummer85]

@ Spark D' Ark You're spot on. Also, western thought and stories rely on dichotomies (i.e. good/evil, light/dark, etc.) which appear to be universal themes since Greco-Roman times and before.

Ethan and Kenneth . . . Jared Leto is THE ACTOR of his and my generation. In previous generations ONLY Micky Rourke, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and a petulant Marlon Brando can touch him. RYAN GOSLING - does a great job in 2049, BUT, Jared Leto is in a class by himself. Leto as Wallace Napier makes the movie as every line Jared (Napier) speaks is vitally important in Bladerunner 2049. I have NEVER seen Suicide Squad (the name said it all) . . . and Jared obviously did it for the cash a la De Niro in the EIghties. Great actors can find themselves literally in the poor-house as genuine acting roles don't pay well. Once again, Robert De Niro hit a purple patch with the Godfather, Raging Bull and the The Deer Hunter. However prior to 1991's - Goodfella's - De Niro suffered throughout most of the 80's. . The Eighties were a terrible time for both De Niro and Al Pacino. The latter starred in Scarface in 1980-81 and was not seen again in a major movie until 1989's - Sea of Love.

I don't understand why so many people hate Jared Leto. He's a good actor. Just like anyone in his profession he needs a good script and director. Lord of War is proof enough that Leto can give us an amazing performance and that his issue is not in the quality of b his performance. Suicide Squad was shit. It was a mess and Jared Leto wasn't really given anything to work with. People reflexively hate him for reasons I don't understand. Much like Ben Affleck or Jake Gyllenhall. Whatever you think of them as people they are talented and capable actors who have given many outstanding performances. I b didn't really have an opinion about Jared Leto going into this movie apart from really enjoying his role in Lord of War. I judge him based on his acting. As such he gives a great performance. Niander Wallace is a character that he brought to life. Is he perfect? Heck no. Does he create a mysterious, charismatic villain with motivations that you understand? Yes. It really bothers me when people have this knee jerk hate for an actor to the point where they disregard their performances entirely. Ben Affleck, Jake Gyllenhall, and Jared Leto are perfect examples. All three have been in critically acclaimed roles within critically acclaimed films. Leto has talent, and just like any other actor he needs a good script and director. In BR 2049 he got both and his performance as Niander Wallace reflects that. Blade Runner 2049 is not perfect, no movie is. It does drag on in a few places especially the whole scene with the beehives. However overall it's a masterfully done film with incredibly strong performances from all cast members and some of the most jaw dropping cinematography I've ever seen. It's one of those rare true sequels in an Era of reboots and reimaginings. That's impressive enough but on top of that the movie is exceptional. To the point where it's a legitimate question as to whether BR 2049 is better than the original. In conclusion, judge the movie and performances on their own merits. Unless the actors are axe murderers or rapists there's no reason to instinctively dismiss their performance. Blade Runner 2049 is an outstanding film and people that didn't go see it deserve a good smack in the face.

[@lylenipshank2338]

yea he has a real God complex !

[@Undependable3]

100% agreed I think Leto was the weakest part of the movie and this scene would have made him and his motivations much more understandable. Taking away this scene makes him appear just as a random big bad guy speaking vague nonsense the entire movie.

[@icarojose6316]

The movie wanted not the tell the story of the creation of this new age of replicants, it would be nice but it would ruin the purpose of the movie., it’s like explaining the creation of replicants in the first Blade Runner.

[@Azzurri_203]

Benedict Wong is awesome. Underrated actor for sure.

[@hexna]

Jared Leto is so intense yet calm in this scene, I can't wait to watch this movie!!! I loved him as Joker in Suicide Squad and I'm more than sure I'll love him in this film.

[@Kriegsbeil5577]

WE NEED A FULL NIANDER WALLACE MOVIE. PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN, JARED!

[@rohanmiller2394]

do this now

[@baxatakbaxatak2014]

Watch Blade Runner: Black Lotus. It’s not all about Niander, but it does serve as an origin story for the Wallace family.

[@YurkerYT]

My favorite part is when Ryan Gosling sais: IT'S BLADIN' TIME!

[@bigtravis6159]

“We should own the stars” “we could storm eden and recapture it”

[@robotube7361]

Denis Villeneuve is the perfect blend of Ridley Scott's genial atmospheric visuals, Kubrick' s slow paced camera motion and Fincher's Monochromatic movie color palettes. Him and Cristopher Nolan are this generation's masters of movie making.

[@hanheecho6437]

Exactly

[@kirank287]

Yep

[@salmanalimalik1706]

when i first saw the thumbnail, i thought it was Morbin Time

[@Rohan-mk9im]

ITS MORBIN TIME 😈 this video gonna rise now

[@itsjaesura]

its morbin time

[@Mudig]

I really hope Hollywood continues to give this director more movies. Brilliant.

[@AndrewForsleff]

Don’t worry, they did ❤

[@RangerSpecForDelta]

It is extremely hard to imagine anyone else playing Wallace so seamlessly and flawlessly as Jared Leto does. In fact, the entire cast of BR49 seems to fit right in.

[@TaffiLouis]

“No, we won’t let you manufacture replicants again.” “What if I get one to kill himself in front of you now?” “Well, OK, you’ve convinced us. You stumble along home now, Mr. Wallace. We’ll have someone clean this up.”

[@allthenamesiwantedweretaken]

The Idea is that Nexus-9s will obey every demand and command no matter what it may consist of. Even self-harm or suicide, and they will always follow through without hesitation or resistance, as opposed to previous replicant models that would need regular retiring due to rebelling and gaining self-awareness/sentience.

[@randallporter1404]

@@allthenamesiwantedweretaken Except the reveal @ 4:57 shows this is a Nexus 8 model.

[@KozenX]

Randall Porter its likely it was a new variant though, gone and made through the process as the newer were to be. That’s why they said it was a crime right after he showed his serial cause they were supposed to not make anymore so that he did made one was illegal.

[@reginaphalange9417]

Because I watched BR2049 before this short movie, my main question was more : why the f*ck did they suppress the limited lifetime that they created in BR ? (precisely to avoid mutinies / losing control on them, even if it means way more replacements) But here he explains that they have to keep exploring and exploiting the stars, that the new design has removed this main defect and that replicants are now completely submissive, that makes more sense, I think this scene should have been at least in introduction.

[@KozenX]

Regina Phalange this scene just makes more people want more answer and given that more movies they explore the world/worlds of BR. Definitely was a great hype up for the movie as well.

[@adamjensen8397]

In Denis villeneuve we Trust

[@KreativeKill]

The joker is amazing here

[@rubendrakkar]

it was a fucking cosplay

[@KreativeKill]

haha but he is better as a crazy guy here than in the dc movie.

[@elgranlugus7267]

I think this is how the Joker needed to be in Suicide Squad, i mean Leto pulled a creepy guy here

[@KreativeKill]

yeah he honestly just needed good directing and lines.

[@BobsiPringlez]

yess he was much better in this. So annoying that his design is so poorly done in the DCEU now so it will be harder to fix him

[@sgtlamancha805]

I've seen 2049 three times now and the detail and richness are coming through in ways I did not see the first time. Mesmerizing...

[@vukovicrados]

Now that his guide is dead, who will lead the blind man home? :/

[@TaylorKnightCosplay]

vukovicrados I volunteer!

[@Hexsmasher2099]

Luv will

[@robincard1548]

He's got a guide-dog called Terry, he's quite naughty and always leads him into Starbucks because he knows he can get free water.

[@Drugov78]

vukovicrados proof the scenario isn’t good.

[@bartacomuskidd775]

oh he knocks off replicants constantly.. got'm lined up in the hall

[@bobthestinky7369]

Even in a short film like this Benedict Wong stands out. The despair and bewilderment in his face is so good.

[@sr28]

There should had been more of Jared Leto's character in the actual movie. Love these short movies!

[@Hexsmasher2099]

Hoping for the sequel though…

[@SweetPup_Gaming]

It was Morbin' Time all the way back then too.

[@thezakkhan]

Now this is sound acting from Leto!

[@TheKreed-ATL]

Yup...just like his JOKER in Suicide Squad - Pure Dope.

[@gin.590]

He had to deal with false marketing, shitty writing and a awful script I felt bad for him

[@gabrielgonzales5907]

I agree. Jared Leto's acting is superb in Bladerunner 2049.

[@1milomir]

I noticed that too, hes performance in blade runner is stunning!

[@johnathandoughboy]

You remember hunger... This movie is so enlightened I’d almost call it twisted prophecy

[@donactdum6635]

I scarily think the same thing, and hope this isn’t a future we’re heading to (but secretly also kinda hope it is cuz it was so captivating on film lol)

[@heathmoge]

Leto is amazing. I can’t wait to see him shine as the joker some more. Give this man a good script and some screen time

[@keenansufc]

This film going to be great can’t wait

[@TrenchMan93]

Heisenberg - it's gonna bomb because mlp the movie is gonna be released next to it and the brownies will destroy a good film to fund a shit hasbro film.

[@joshblackwell8632]

Austin Trench Do you even know anything about the MLP franchise or the MLP movie to say that????

[@B.Y23]

Trust me if blade runner's only competiton is my little pony. I think blade runner is in the running to win the #1 box office in October. Who knows might get similar box office to Arrival (+200 mil).

Jared Leto in Suicide Squad=Cringy Joker Jared Leto in BladeRunner=Ultimate BADASS

[@khairyjenkins]

Wang Boy people's overuse of the word cringe is cringe

[@Nick-ec8vn]

Wang Boy think that had more to do with the script and design choices.

[@eldani8268]

*Wang Boy* yep, it's all about direction

[@TheLegend-jk6hy]

Wang Boy stfu faggot. Jared Leto was great in suicide squad. Cringy? Really? Gtfoh bitch

[@zhong4297]

It's morbin time

[@generalshrooms]

MORB BOIS?!

[@questman7799]

This is art.

[@matt00794]

how? the first movie brought up what does it mean to be human, and the complexity of what is ok to with living creatures. this just shows that people can be mean for money. its a fun short but wait until the movie before you start to call stuff art

[@nirvana2277]

Matt Miller you call ghost busters 2016 art compare to this short film? Lol

[@matt00794]

no I'm just saying that this trailer literally is just exposition and a guy forcing another guy to kill himself. it wasn't shot well, the acting was good but you have to remember at this point they probably already made the movie. so what about this would you call art? stuff happened in ghostbusters (2016) nothing really happened in this short

[@nirvana2277]

Useless Username I'm just saying what can be art or not to be in wondering what you think as art?

[@AceMax-5]

Look at the first or second comment. He mentions art in the last paragraph

[@foodbug]

That last eye turn to them is just so spooky! I love it!

[@neonace3885]

This is the true Wong and Morbius

[@roybatty-]

In this film Wallace is some sort of powerful warlord/gangster in addition to being an entrepreneurial super genius. Poor Tyrell had to cooperate with the police.

[@lainwakura]

Hands down one of Leto's best roles.

[@Maniahg]

Would love a stand alone movie based on Niander Wallace. This is without a shadow doubt Leto's best performance.

[@anasshahid224]

So true, amazing performance by Jared Leto in the movie.

[@thechestnuthead]

it's Morbin time

[@ganii1804]

the internet has absolutely shattered me

[@DariPh]

That is the finest masterpiece. Please make more sequels and prequels to Blade Runner 2049 film.

[@dasausyman5954]

Im sooo looking forward to this sequel. I hope its as good as the costumes, art, and design appear to be.

[@jerbsherb4391]

I don't remember this part in Morbius

[@99CharliZ]

Leto should do a Joker short ! He deserves to prove that he can be great !

[@wheeler6768]

Collectif Faked I agree. He has the talent and the look to be the best live action Joker. He just needs to right opportunity

[@royceeapen]

Wheeler67 i hope matt reeves would give him a spot

[@wheeler6768]

Royce Eapen same. Hes already confirmed to be in 2 DCEU movies. But I just hope he isnt sidelined like he was in Suicide Squad. Im sure if Matt includes the Joker, Leto would blow people away

[@royceeapen]

Wheeler67 i wish he could be in the batman film but matt said it would be a trilogy so jared should be in it

[@yussofross1417]

Royce Eapen Hey, buddy what are you doing here? I'll see you on film junkee,buddy.

[@williamchangizi676]

BR: 2049, a masterpiece!

[@shiva6104]

Jared leto is genius..what an acting.....absolutely extraordinary...

[@Mrdeadvid]

Villeneuve is a fucking genius

[@Kgula]

This was directed by Luke Scott, Ridley Scott's son... not Villeneuve...

[@HarryMoho]

Kgula he never said it wasnt

[@Kgula]

ok... and i agree with him, Villeneuve is a fucking genius, but what does that have to do with this video in particular? and why aren't you letting the guy respond? are you his spokesperson here on YT??

[@Mrdeadvid]

I know Villeneuve didn't direct the short, he said it himself lol... I just want to express my opinion about him

[@AceMax-5]

It has to do with the video because he is the director of blade runner 2049...

[@YOURFAVORITEDOOMGUY]

Loved Leto in this film The way he speaks and moves is PERFECT

[@jasonshannon8708]

This was great! KZbin you don't deserve this.

[@ImposCoE]

How come Leto looks so fucking menacing as a blind man? Gives me the chills my dude!

[@brimple]

MORBIUS?

[@rmysterio80]

The guy who says "this is wrong" is my absolute favorite. He's so over it.

[@DatingArchitect]

This was brilliant on Wallace's part bc he conveyed so many things with that action: 1. His replicants are completely obedient to him. 2. The counsel knows he made the majority of them. 3. Even if the counsel wants to shut down new ones, they still need the ones that are currently out there for society to function. 4. If Wallace does not get his way, he could simply do the same thing on a mass scale, thus ending society. He sort of blackmails them into doing what he wants.

[@theboss297]

If the movie is anything like this I'll be happy
