[@Wonton-the-Sea-Snail]

this feels like a reverse of the Voight-Kampff Test. The original test was to determine if one was human or replicant by asking a serious of emotional questions and to see if you can illicite a human response to them. not reacting or over reacting would mean youre a replicant in this version, the purpose is to not react and to be the least human as possible. antagonize someone enough to see if they break. any normal human would but a replicant still true to their programming wouldnt. this isnt much a test to see if your human, its to see if youre still a soulless replicant.

[@coleacanth8944]

As one is for uncovering a possible replicant by presenting abstract emotional concepts and observing reactions, the other is for revealing changes of a known replicant from previously observed reactions to emotional concepts . In either case, they both have a 'script' and the goal is to observe an emotional response (be it nuanced by emergent changes from experiences and developing human-like emotions, or volatile frustration from a lack of understanding of emotional concepts/cognitive dissonance) so they are essentially the same test.

Also, I suspect the test has to do with more than his verbal responses per se. A human will also respond unconsciously to tone of voice, for example a man will physiologically respond to, for example, a strong assertive/angry male voice commanding him; his pupils may dilate or contract, other mammalian instincts may be triggered and these are measured by the sensors facing K.

Yes! This test is an advanced Voight-Kampff Test, the Voight-Kampff Test includes also Pupil Reactions, Heart Rate, Blushiness and Blood Pressure and respiratory frequency.

The dialogue is designed to provoke an emotional response, and the machine measures the voice and physiology of the replicant to determine if there was one. Replicants that develop emotions will have an empathic response to this bit of poetry, as K later does.

OK. I’ve said it before. Cinematographer Richard [Edit: Roger] Deakins thinks this movie wasn’t designed to be in open matte. I think he’s wrong. The mega cityscapes show just how insignificant each person is and how lonely is one’s existence. It amplifies the yearning to connect with someone else. So, here’s hoping it gets an Open Matte or IMAX 4K UHD blu ray release! Mark Arnold is the voice of the baseline tester.

[@empathicalcryde8803]

what does open matte mean

[@GrandHighGamer]

@@empathicalcryde8803 That they're not cropping the frame where you'd normally see black bars. Any film that has an Imax release has footage there (and film stock is square, so anything filmed on actual film should have content there), but it's blocked off with black off even in the home release to match the ordinary cinema release.

[@empathicalcryde8803]

@@GrandHighGamer thanking you

[@BradPham]

@@empathicalcryde8803 It’s like a door mat but really wide. Just kidding. Squint your eyes so they’re really narrow. Your vision should be like a narrow, wide strip. Take note of the top and bottom of your field of vision - it’ll be dark because of your top and bottom eyelids. (Yes, and a bit blurry from your eye lashes) Focus on a point across the room. Make a note of how much above and how much below that point that you can see with your eyes squinted. Now, slowly open your eyelids until wide open. Make a mental note of how much further above and below that same point that you can see now! It’s significantly more isn’t it? That’s kinda what “open matte” is for a movie camera. Movie cameras can come with various types of “eyelids” that shape what it can see by “cropping” the top and bottom of the field of vision. There are certain industry recognised “frame ratios” determined by how much is cut from the top and bottom. 16:9 is the frame size that matches your TV. 1.85:1 and 2.39:1 are suited to the much wider screens in your cinema complex. OK. So, once again, if we throw away those “eyelids” and let the movie camera imaging sensor see what it naturally captures, you’re likely to get a shape of 4:3, which is funnily enough, the same shape as our old CRT TVs. By now things should be getting confusing. I’ll stop here. Open matte is like looking at life without eyelids! Aaaggh!!! Can’t sleep!!!

He pauses slightly after one question: “Do you dream about being? Interlinked.” It’s subtle, but his response time to that question is slightly different than all the others. It also sounds like they’re asking: “Do you dream about being interlinked?” And I think the answer to that question is “yes.” That’s why he paused slightly … he had to suppress his thoughts and change his response to “interlinked.”

[@eyeyamjstn628]

I don’t know why but this is depressing. There’s something about the future dystopia theme that makes watching or playing (cyberpunk) so depressing

[@eonreeves4324]

it's not so hard to believe where we are heading.

[@pHaZe017]

Agreed. I read somewhere that we seem to have lost hope for the future which is why a lot of the most recent scifi has been depressing, or at least based in a depressing dystopian type future. If you look back at some of the scifi made in the 80s and even the some in the 90s, it was always based on a brighter future, back when we were hopeful of what the future would bring. Fast forward to those exact dates in those scifi movies i.e. today, we still dont have flying cars, we haven't colonised the moon or mars for that matter, we're dealing with climate change, and the list goes on. So, we've lost hope for the future and its now coming through in alot of the movies that are made today.

That's what cyberpunk is all about, high tech low life. Crime, moral decline, poverty. Wealth and power concentrated in the hands of evil corporations.

Focus on solarpunk, then.

This is such an incredible film holy shit.

Bladerunner 2049 will be a classic just like its predecessor. This is peak sci-fi.

Is there an open matte version of this movie available somewhere?!

[@GoodCharless]

Pardon my ignorance but what does "Open Matte" mean in this context? Thanks for the video.

[@paulwade4058]

Full frame real estate. Most films are shot open matte and then cropped to suit 16:9 or imax or whatever. This short sequence has the full top and bottom of the frame included.

This baseline test is not to check if he's human or not. It's to check that he hasn't gotten traumatized or stressed and become compromised by emotions. They want to make sure he can still follow orders no matter what.

It's a great movie, and perhaps even better than the first. The sound design and much of the soundtrack is superb. But the music DEFINITELY missed the heart of the original. The original had occasional moments of jazz, blues, of actual melody to remind us of humanity amidst it all. A wall of sound is an effective tool and a powerful one, and some scenes bear out some massive chords, but there's never really a leitmotif or memorable melody that winds its way through the dense fog of Zimmer's soundscapes.

[@georgedavidson957]

tbh it was a problem. there was just too much on screen at any one time and it was damn near impossible to take it all in. you'd need to be at the back of the hall I think to get the best effect.

I fucking love open matte. I wish there was an open matte option for aspect ratio but even master files on home video are masked.

[@deano2160]

When i watched this there was an old man a few seats down from me with his wife and it occurred to me he was probably my age when he fell in love with the first blade runner and lived long enough to see the sequel. Also he pissed himself. I hope to be 83yrs old watching bladerunner 3029 and i to will piss myself happily knowing someone will sit in it on the next screening. It shall be so.
