just needed some better synths...

i'm reading the guy he worked with and he also worked on
Dunkirk, which was great too

also reading Villeneuve wanted it to sound a lot like
the original Vangelis theme, but I'm happy they didn't
listen to him too much

yes im glad they didnt ape it directly, the oil theme in
dunkirk was so good, raised the tension to unbearable levels

the moments i started liking the movie less (spoilers)


when they shoe horned Harrison Ford in
when they shoe horned that replicant lady from the original
in
the fight scene in the water that felt like it was supposed
to resolve things, but i didn't really know what or why the
resolving had to be done with a fight

i have to relisten the whole sound track, also because it's
something you have to listen as a whole, with time frame
being so important in the movie

yeah inking about it Deckard wasnt necessary to the film,
but its the marketing aspect of having harrison ford in your
film, suppose thats why they went with it, it didnt bother
me too much it felt more like he was meeting up with just
harrison ford rather than deckard the character though

to complete my review,
after things i liked less and the thing i liked best

things that are part great part i'm not sure about
the way it looked. it looked flawless, but a lot like the
original
the slowness of it. i saw a reddit comment mentioning
Tarkovsky (and a comment that disagreed with that). i think
that's a fair association. i like the slowness in Tarkovsky
as well, i just can't help falling asleep from it.
the themes it touches on that were explained to me by
youtube videos. with for instance Ghost in the Shell i
couldn't totally figure the themes out myself as well, but
it just all just felt right.

Waht I got out of it, ois that human, is a sort of nebulous
term, what parts needed to be added to be considered human,
is its just consciousness, is it the ability to reproduce?
ios it ethics? what is the most reductionist definition of a
human

Villeneuve made Arrival, which is great

i understand they're also thinking of letting him do Dune.
but I'm fine with that never being adapted to film (Lynch
movie was great but doesn't really count as an adaptation to
film. (just as Bladerunner wasn't really an adaptation from
Do androids dream of electric sheep.))

Yes I love the Lynch Film, Id love to see a Villeneuve
adaptation, I'm a big fan of the books especially the first
2, Its looking uncertain because of the box office returns
of blade runner 2049 if this will happen, investors might
get cold feet, plus original Dune was a box office bomb

massive objects emerging from the fog, its perfect for the
scale of dune

I thought Gibson invented the cyber punk of Bladerunner, but
read they happened at the same time, in an interview he
says:
“About ten minutes into Blade Runner, I reeled out of the
theater in complete despair over its visual brilliance and
its similarity to the “look” of Neuromancer, my [then]
largely unwritten first novel. Not only had I been beaten to
the semiotic punch, but this damned movie looked better than
the images in my head! With time, as I got over that, I
started to take a certain delight in the way the film began
to affect the way the world looked. Club fashions, at first,
then rock videos, finally even architecture. Amazing! A
science fiction movie affecting reality!”
Both owe a lot to Moebius&co.

i recently read the first three books, again. have to do the
other three as well

Arrival reminded me of Clark's Childhood's End, which I also
recently read (for the first time), and which is great

"The name of Agent K's apartment building is Mobius 21. Jean
(Moebius) Giraud's graphic short story "The Long Tomorrow"
(published in Metal Hurlant in France and Heavy Metal in the
US) was an early influence on the look of Blade Runner."

Oh moebius, so brilliant

yeah sticks with you that book
must of influenced floyd
In regards to Neuromancer, i think the ideas in the book
were better than the writing, I read another book by william
gibson and bruce sterling called the difference engine which
i thought was better,

this film would have been cool if it was about blade running
but the only blade running happens at the beginning of the
film. the whole daughter plot could have been dropped.

the women were drop dead gorgeous, the older cop boss lady,
the hologram girlfriend, the replicant who gets born then
stabbed to death, the superstrength replicant bad guy girl,
and the cgi rachel, not so much the scatty prostitutes.

the flying car and the gun are interesting props but the
roads were bare for most of the film. it's supposed to be
california in the future, no such thing as sky traffic?

little bits of korean, japanese, and chinese writing show up
in the film, for stylistic reasons only.

deckard is super strong with epic punching abilities. in the
original he was weak and needed his gun to blow away
replicants.

the symbolism stuff doesn't give me a boner, the number
reminded me of lost and its pointless numbers game, the
flashback with the toy horse was symbolism again.

i kinda like the twist with joe finding out he's not the
special baby. it was fresh to see a character get
disappointed by reality. when he looks up at the giant naked
hologram again it was nice to see a character get fucked up
.

deckard was boring really he didn't need to be in the film
at all. the fight at the end was tacked on.

this movie would have been better if it was weak human vs
replicants, drop the daughter plotline, keep the holographic
girlfriend and cop boss.

replicants having children interests me but they could have
done it better. like most films the problem is the script.
the music and filming etc was done really well. love the

Just manually typing up this interesting section I just read
in this book

"Dick's final vision consisted of a confrontation with God
which led him to a series of infinite stacks of punched
cards being generated each time Dick attempted to
rationalise the vision. The only thing that could save him
form this infinite information regress was to not
rationalise it"

".... These dialogues were always vivid, provocative, and,
at least in most of my experiences, utterly sane"

1st draft was same name as the novel
2nd draft of screenplay was called android
3nd was mechanismo,
4rd was dangerous days

Gregory peck got a hold of one of the early screenplays and
wrote a letter to studio heads that this film had to be made
because of the ecological message in the initial scripts, i
think bladerunner 2049 touches on that a bit more like
radioactive las vegas, protein farms

was reading that originally Eldon Tyrell was a replicant,
and in that scene as it was filmed he was meant to be a
replicant , after Batty killed him, he found out that the
real Tyrell was on the next floor up in a cryogenic chamber,
in suspended animation waiting for a cure for his terminal
cancer. Because of budgetary concerns that set was built,
and as a consequence the scene wasn't filmed And once
again the Tyrell we see was returned to being human.
