I thought Leto was pretty good. He pulled off unsettling pretty well. The star of the film is the overall aesthetic and atmosphere though.

I was kinda irritated at the whole "OMG BLIND DUDE" in a world where they can literally grow fake people. Seems like curing blindness would be kinda simple compared to the rest. Then I got annoyed because if they can cure blindness, that just means it's by choice, which means he's some kinda weird eye hipster style villain. I did like the movie, but I didn't like all of it. I'm not sitting through it again, but I did mostly enjoy the time I did see it.

My little brother is in high school and my dad has installed a full wrestling mat in the basement. Every day when I come home from work I am forced to wrestle my little brother for an hour by my dad, who yells at both of us equally despite the fact that I am not trying out for high school wrestling next winter. Everything is sore as hell, especially my goddamn neck

Serf posted:i never got the impression that wallace's blindness was for anything but show Probably should stop talking about Blade Runner in this thread, but eyes and seeing are probably the most consistent motif in the original. There is a ludicrous number of eye related things going on, from the Voight-Kampff test to the guy who makes eyes to the fact that all the replicants have reflective eyes. And obviously the opening in both films is a close up of eyes. The sequel is a love letter to the original and carries the motif through it too. K takes the first dude's eye at the start (it has a serial number, for example. And the scene with Rachel and Deckard where she has the wrong eye colour etc. There's a lot of callbacks to the idea that eyes are the window to the soul in questioning whether replicants have souls. Wallace's eyes are completely clouded and opaque and he presumably chooses to see through cameras instead. It's basically a little nod to him being inhuman, and also ties into the whole God complex things he has going on - being able to see multiple places at once. Also I guess David Bowie has pretty funky eyes, so there's potentially one reason he was the first choice for the role.

I was thinking of angels in those scenes because the biblical ones had lots of eyes. On a practical level, never mind what the movie was saying, did he not have better vision overall? Seeing things from multiple angles, and from cameras that can float and hover away from you, and I think he had multiple types of vision as well.

Yeah,its this,and my god is it beautifully shot and composed.even the dumb "la resistance" scenes are gorgeous and unique.i kinda get the idea of casting Leto to play a loving dweeb weirdo ,but the greatest crime of the movie is giving litle for robin wright penn to do.

Here's a cool pic by Spinster from Lowtax's anti social media thread, where that discussion is going on right now. There's some pretty neat stories in there too, like from people who goatsed themselves out of a job thanking SA for the inspiration, if you are into that sort of thing.
