You Are Not The Main Character

[@roquethebold]

If I’m not the main character in my life, then why am I always with me?

[@Ethaara]

In the defense of my guy Ryan here, if Ana de Armas whispers to me “I know you are special” then I’m special, and you can’t say anything that would change that. Ever.

good video! tho i think that the fact he isn't the main character is exactly what people identify with, in the sense that culture makes us feel important but in actuality it's just a coping mechanism that the "system" needs to sell us so we can perform whatever mundane and background tasks it needs while not commiting sepuku or drowning in a sea of despair. and even the shred of hope that his suffering amounted to something, that he can find something special in the bad is taken away, so he is left with nothing, but still goes on. i think about that.

Dude yes! I totally agree! Maybe I did miss the mark on how overall people interpreted the movie, because my first introduction to the movie was a "sigma male edit" of blade runner, but for a movie like this that indirectly comments on society is selling us the "you're unique" idea makes me appreciate, especially since this was released before TikTok blew up. Before we had an idea of the "main character syndrome".

i didnt feel anything other than "wow that was slow" after bladerunner 2049

[@Stupidtakes]

I still feel that after watching it for the 5th time, yet it's oddly comforting.

people (often men) relate to this movie BECAUSE he is not the main character. None of us are the main character, but just like K, we can still do some good in the world if we try. He doesn't save the planet, he's not replicant jesus, but he helped reunite a family, and that was important. K tells us that even though we may not be important to everyone, we can still do important things, and that's pretty inspiring. I think you missed the mark on this one, kinda seems like you saw the sigma edits and assumed that why peopole liked this movie, but people make sigma edits out of literal spongebob clips, so idk if thats a great barometer for whether or not media gives people "main character syndrome". A better ryan gosling film for this video would have been Drive, great film, but it totally pushes the main character syndrome.

Wallace Corporation's production of Joi is even more messed up when you consider how the affection she is designed to give to bladerunners (and the public?) causes a surge in narcissism. Like you mentioned she's a light of escapism against the decaying, nature-less, dystopian reality that the 2049 inhabitants live in. I understand that her purpose is necessary for the Bladerunners to be able to process their emotions properly and avoid falling off baseline but the way you see her on those giant pink posters and dancing models in public kind of feels like capitalist society and Wallace taunting its inhabitants as this is practically the advertisement of false realities which arguably have a net-negative effect on those who choose to indulge in them (biggest example in the movie being feeding into narcissistic tendencies and the "depression" which may emerge once those technologies are destroyed and you realise they aren't real). But then again K isn't even human, he was just led to believe he was a real boy... so is it really immoral at all? I wonder if we would have that same empathy for a Bladerunner in real life especially if we were always aware of their capacity to end our lives on a whim; effortlessly. Both movies and the 3 short films give so much to think about, I love them so much. Also I am special buddy, I was born on 6th October (6/10) - the movie's premiere date 6 years ago and if you consider John Shade/Nabokov's beliefs on coincidences/contrasts it means me and Dr Ana are interlinked as well 🤓🤓

I am the main character tho

[@shannonreeves9458]

Your very first like though

[@billlowery1658]

The first 3 minutes are a detriment to the rest of the video.

[@LIZARDKISSRHETORIC]

If you don't understand a movie, don't review it. You totally missed the plot of 2049 - and stop calling me Baby girl.

[@fyrebat404]

[@WAKEUPTODAYNOTTOMORROW]
