Personally the meme and original video works for me because the “[actor] is [character]” marketing gimmick works by getting your attention with a big, well-revered actor or a character of any renown, even if it’s as simple as being the character the movie is named after. “Daniel Craig is Benoit Blanc” is like, ooh, I gotta see what this Benoit Blanc guy is all about. Or “Tom Holland is Peter Parker” is like, oh, so that’s how they’re doing this character now. Zendaya, they proudly proclaim, is Meechee. Cool. What the gently caress is a Meechee?

"What the gently caress is a Zendaya?" was also a perfectly valid question until like a year ago, because she's yet another Disney star who nobody knew until studio execs started loudly insisting that we all know and love her. (Unlike the usual for that, though, she's actually a perfectly decent actress and I'm alright with her.) e: holy poo poo, other than Greatest Showman (now owned by Disney anyways), Smallfoot, her very brief role on The OA and Euphoria, her entire loving career so far has been directly tied to Disney.

I didn't even know about the song, I just thought that "Zendaya is Meechee" became a meme because it's two nonsense words that somehow are supposed to be a selling point for some b-tier animated movie. The meme was the first time I heard of Zendaya, in any case.

Like it's a better film than some of the parts in it, or is a very good film that could have been a great film and was on the way to it but they stopped short. (Adjust for your values of "very good" or "great".)

It has been a while since I saw it but I remember it being pretty good, but not as tightly executed as the original. I'm glad that BR2049 focuses entirely on the buildup to a revolution and stops just before it begins, though. A lesser film would definitely have tried to depict the entire collapse of society in two and a half hours.

The chosen one plot is as meaningful as a paper origami though. It's a kid that just like other kids, it's not particularly special at its core. Hell, k's journey is the reversal of the chosen one plot, you can still be a cog and effect change. I like it a lot, is not super subtle but it's a gorgeous movie with fantastic performances.even Ford gives a modicum of effort.batista Vs k is amazing work.

Yeah, it's an intentional subversion of a chosen one plot. The entire point is that every underprivileged person wants to be the chosen one because they think it means they are special and important and it can lift them out of their conditions, however in reality changing society and upending inequality is in the hands of everyone, born special or not. I found it incredibly refreshing. And yeah, top 5 sci-fi films of all time for certain.

Despite having way more exposition, the sci-fi narrative of Blade Runner 20XX is really dumb. And it doesn't build on the plot or themes of the original at all. The most concrete praise the sequel gets is something about "subverting the chosen one narrative", which is the same thing people say about the dire Disney Star Wars movies. And, in that respect, it's still way inferior to rival sci-fi film The Life Of Brian. The cinematography is good, but it plays out like one of those fanedits where they reinsert all the deleted scenes.

Blade Runner 69420 excises basically all of the nightmare logic and dreamstate imagery that’s part of what makes the original so interesting to watch and is dreadfully, unbelievably boring as a result.

I thought BR2049 was very good but I also think that apart from the Pale Fire interrogation scene almost every aspect of the movie has previously been done better by others.

In addition to everyone else's complaints, Jared Leto's character felt awful for me because his dialog felt like TVTropes trying to write a villain and the ending immediately reminded me of bad films, especially anime, trying to add cheap weight to their ending while ignoring all the outcomes of it.

I also tend to prefer shorter films, but efficiency isn't the goal of all cinema. It's an artform and art often needs whitespace to achieve its intended effect. I had no desire to get in and out of this story quickly, and I thought the mood and atmosphere of the piece were ideal and were served by an extended length. But I see it being functional as well, as K is so repressed that it leads to his character having to communicate much of what we need to know about him from small nonverbal moments. But the film allowing for those character moments to be small and doled out slowly over the course of the film was very much to its benefit from my perspective. The pace and room for subtler performances and less frenzied storytelling is the whitespace of this film. Lopping it off for the sake of efficiency is like telling a painter to fill in every inch of his canvas with noise because otherwise it's wasted space. That sort of thing doesn't have to be for you, but criticizing a movie for not being a tight, lean package is a preference you're bringing to the table, not an objective measure of quality. e: Not to say there aren't legitimate complaints about the film, but I personally don't think that length is one of them. Anything involving Wallace is definitely legit for sure. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 02:16 on Apr 16, 2020 |

I enjoy the world and sounds of blade runner more than the story. It’s why the original is just okay to me. I hate deckard and his character and the love story so much but the visuals and music are gorgeous. And Roy Batty is an icon. 2049 worked better for me all around, but seeing it in a loud rear end imax theater really sold it for me.

Having rewatched the original Blade Runner recently in theatres, a lot of the actual script isn't that great. It's just the whole movie has an incredible gritty style and world building that fills in all the weaknesses of the plot. The whole thing is a mood. 2049 has a very similar feel of the themes and visuals making up for its own problems of fan service and looking back to the original and some would argue slow pacing. Its feel is a lot less gritty and more vacuous (in a good, hollowed-out cold tech wasteland way). They feel like really good companion pieces to me, each flawed but visually and philosophically compelling that they stick with you and if you want you can dive deep into your own interpretations and overlook any problems.
