Ever since I learned that Silver Wing is going to make a sequel a long time ago, I have been nervous and looking forward to it. The classic of the 1982 version of "Blade Runner" does not need to be repeated. At that time, I was not only amazed by Sean Yang's beauty, but also amazed at the moment when the clone batty passed away quietly in the rainy night, watching the nostalgic look in his eyes. Quietly dim, the white dove in his hand fluttered its wings and flew to the night sky, as if carrying his soul. It is a tragic beauty that is more thrilling, profound, and more human than the former. So I am curious, 30 years have passed in reality, and 30 years have passed in the movie. How far can the sequel be filmed? Even if it has received rave reviews in Europe and the United States, I doubt whether it can escape the magic of "sequels destroy classics". curse. After watching the movie, I walked out of the theater, facing the cold wind and looking up at the boundless night sky. I thought, it was probably a worthwhile trip. "Blade Runner 2049" has well continued the epic shock and thinking about human nature of the previous work, and the real set, the beautiful photography and the right soundtrack, which have been praised by countless people, give the film its own unique texture and quality. temperament. Good works make people visually and spiritually satisfied, but also make people think. Silver Wing 2049 did exactly that.
——————————————————
Compared to the first one, this film feels more forgiving, more remote, and more silent. In the world of 2049, the sky is still gray, the land is vast, radiation lingers in the barren land, all green plants have long disappeared, and yellow smoke billows in the desert. The tiny aircraft flew over the silent and huge building, leaving a haunting reverberation. All of this has a sense of apocalypse. In the crowded market, pedestrians are hurrying, and huge screens project various advertisements. It seems that technology is bringing people a better life, but degenerate and gloomy emotions continue to breed in the corners. People live in such a huge and dirty world, and all living beings are like ants. As batty said in the first part, all the past will disappear in time, just like tears disappear in the rain. Compared with the vast universe, our existence is really insignificant. However, when time is projected into reality, we are all struggling in the mundane world, but few people know what exactly we are pursuing. Just to survive, or some belief outside of life? When humans created replicants, enslaved them, oppressed them, and then consoled themselves that they were just a bunch of lifeless dead things. But what is life defined by? The existing written guidelines are only artificial definitions applicable to carbon-based life, but what is the ultimate truth? No one knows. Sometimes I wonder, what defines our existence? Defining the true and false of existence? Is it feeling? memory? Or soul? If it is memory, wouldn't life be reduced to the irony of a brain in a vat? If it is a soul, it is too ethereal and there is no trace to be found. We always dream of seeing the philosophy of life in the torrent of time and all living beings, but we often fail to ask for it. But constant thinking may bring us closer and closer to the truth. (Spoilers involved below) The film begins, like the first, with an open eye. There are no bright lights like the first in the blue pupils, it is just calm, calm and lifeless. After events such as the defection of the replicants and the blackout, humans began to disable and hunt the replicants until the rise of the Wallace Company before re-enabling the replicants as a labor force for alien colonization. And the new generation of replicants will obey human beings and will not run away or rebel. Just like Replicant K, as a blade runner hired by humans, he can hunt down the same kind with a blank face - the former Chain 8 replicators. In the face of such obedient human K, the old replica morton who was hunted by it said: Because you have not seen miracles. Because you have never seen the splendid miracles that replicators can create, you, like humans, feel that you are just a lifeless creature, even if you are dazed about your existence occasionally,
The miracle of replicants? After unintentionally digging up a replica skeleton, K discovered an astonishing secret: this old version of the chain-type 6 replicator was able to give birth, and the child survived and is currently missing. Being able to reproduce naturally may mean that replicants have been upgraded and evolved into an existence with independent life, and they should not be inanimate slaves at the mercy of others. For the replicators, this is undoubtedly a miracle in their dark world. They should no longer suffer from all kinds of oppression by human beings, but should liberate the majority of the same kind and become free and independent. But for humans, if replicants are found to be able to reproduce themselves, then what is the difference between them and replicators? How can they be justified in their long-standing contempt, disgust and cruelty towards replicants? Just as K hesitated when he received the order to hunt this child, "I have never killed a naturally born person." And this child may have a soul that he does not have. In any case, once this secret is leaked, it will cause great chaos and conflict in the society. The clone rebels were determined to protect the child, and wanted him to be their leader to liberate the same kind; the human government, represented by K's superior, the female lieutenant, ordered that the child must be hunted to maintain social stability; and The Wallace Company, which has been studying the reproduction ability of replicators but has been failing, has its own ambition: to capture this child, to obtain the technology that enables replicators to reproduce, so as to continuously obtain replicators to develop more alien colonies . The three-party camp began to move on the wind. K, as a police force, found during the investigation that the original replicator had created another copy of his DNA in order to protect the child. The two children were a boy and a girl, and the girl had died of illness. At the same time, K gradually discovers that he may be the boy: the toy wooden horse in his memory is engraved with the same birthday number as the child, and the location of the orphanage when he was a child is exactly the same. The memories of the replicator are artificially implanted false memories, but if this memory of his is proved to be real, what does it mean? It means that he may be the miraculous child, he may be a naturally born person, he may have life, a unique existence in the world, when he touches everything in this world, the breeze, the rain, the snow, his The sense of touch may no longer be a string of encoded data, but a reality that has never been there. He may have the soul he's always longed for. All human discrimination and curses against him before have become unreasonable, and his entire life seems to be changed. But if it were true, then he would also be the target of another Blade Runner hunt. Once Is it ironic that the classic hunter has become the target of the hunt? In order to prove his idea, K found the technician Ana, who was responsible for implanting memories for the replicants. Compared with this chaotic and filthy world, Anna was as pure as the first snow on the top of a mountain. Because of her illness, she has grown up in a sterile glass room since she was eight years old. The glass room can simulate real forests, insects and the sky, and can simulate everything Anna likes, but she can't touch people. Communication and conversation can only be separated by a thick layer of glass. Her body was bound, so she could only let her imagination run wild. Her job is to create real and beautiful memories for the replicants, she said: I can't save them, all I can do is create some good memories for them. She couldn't even get out of the glass room, so she could only use this method to add a touch of warmth to the difficult world of replicants. When Anna lowered her eyes and smiled, she was as clean as an angel among the clouds. But when Anna checked K's memory, she burst into tears. She told K: "This is a real memory. K left in shock. It was snowing at that time, K felt the touch of snowflakes, and his heart was undergoing earth-shaking changes. It seems that all the falsehoods that were once thought have become unprecedentedly real. I was moved at that moment. But the more moving I am at the moment, the sadder I am when I find myself jumping into the director's trap. I thought that Anna's cry was because she knew that K was a real life, because of all the hardships he had endured. But then I found out that I was wrong and K was wrong too. Anna is the child born in that miracle, and K is just a copy that hides people's ears. The memory in K's mind belongs to Anna, and Anna's crying is for this replicant who can't choose her own life, and will endure all the suffering for her, and also for all the people who are ups and downs in the mortal world who have suffered so much Duplicants cry. K was wounded while being chased by the Wallace Company, and learned the truth after being rescued by the replicant rebels. I don't know what kind of shock and helplessness it would be, but the fact is like a thunderbolt, the cognition that he relies on for survival is constantly shattered and reshaped, and finally shattered and collapsed again. Like the shattering of a lifelong belief. The leader of the clone rebel army said to K: Do you think you are that child? We all wish we were. That sentence hits my heart right now. We all wish we were the most unique and wish there were miracles in our lives. Who is not? But in the end it's just one of the living beings. But at the same time, I am also thinking that every life should be unique. Can we only use the eyes of the world or others to demarcate ourselves? Likewise, a person Is it not true, is it only defined by a memory or a standard? K, who has been discriminated against and cast aside as a "fake" by human beings, can walk between the vast land and feel the coolness of the snowflakes melting on his fingertips, but Anna, who is known as a miracle, can only be trapped in a glass room. Look at the simulated snowflakes and imagine what they really look like. How to define true and false, or is it really so important to make such a secular judgment of true and false? At the end of the film, K rescues Anna's father, the first male protagonist, Deckard, and sends him to meet his real daughter. K was seriously injured at this time. He sat on the steps in the open air, watching the heavy snow in the daytime, and felt the touch of snowflakes again. Compared with the previous few times, his heart has long been different. In the end, he lay down slowly, looking at the void, the snow fell on his eyelashes, the cold breath embraced him, the earth was quiet and peaceful, the silence was better than the sound. At that moment, I suddenly felt that my heart seemed to have been opened up to a boundless snowfield, with no restraint, no prejudice, no existence, and no nothingness. Maybe K's heart also has such a world. Can't help but sigh, compared to the amazing monologue in the rain in the first part, this ending may be a good correspondence.
——————————————————
There are still too many scenes in the movie that impressed me, and here, I want to talk about Deckard and Rachel, who run through the two Silver Wings. The part where K goes to find Dyke is probably the most dreamy part of the movie. The earth filled with yellow sand, K passed through the layers of yellow smoke, and saw a huge and dilapidated nude statue suddenly standing in it. In the depths of No Man's Land lies a huge church-like building. Deckard lives here alone, has a dog, occasionally drinks a little wine against the yellow sand outside the window, gambles twice by himself, and enjoys old songs and classic songs and dances in the projection. It looked like a comfortable living alone, but in fact the pain was entrenched in the cracks left by every time in Deckard's heart. Thirty years ago, Deckard and Rachel ran away from the chase together. When Rachel gave birth to a child and died in childbirth, Deckard stopped contacting with Rachel in order to cover up the child's identity and ensure its safety. Dyke said with a drink: When you really love someone, you have to be strangers with them. This is a deep and forbidding love. Maybe this is the reason why K finally saved Dyke. Later, in order to let him tell the whereabouts of the child, the Wallace Company created a replica Rachel. Deckard watched her walk up to him, and looked at each other, her brows were full of elegance. Deckard stared at her blankly, his eyes seemed to have deeply hidden emotions slowly floating up, slowly settling, and finally broken into tiny shimmers. After a long time, he turned his head away and said: Rachel's eyes are green. I looked at Rachel on the screen at that time, shocked and sighed, the plot of the first flashed in my mind instantly, and the two movies seemed to be truly merged at this moment. And when I was lusting after Rachel's beauty, Wallace, who was so embarrassed, ordered the shooting. With a loud bang, Rachel fell to the ground instantly. Deckard paused, without looking back. Like waking up from a dream. The child Rachel gave birth to is the cause of the whole story, but the beauties of the past are gone and all their time is gone. Perhaps the last remaining, only a beautiful legend.
—————————————————— I enjoyed the whole movie, most of the actors and characters I liked. Just like Joey, who wouldn't want a girlfriend like this, cute, elegant and sexy, no matter how isolated and helpless K is, she still accompanies him in a soft voice and supports him. Whether her last sentence I love you comes from real consciousness or the regulation of the program, it makes people sigh. There is also Wallace played by Master Leto, a godless blind with a twisted soul, he represents the endless desire and ambition of human beings; and his assistant Luf, who has always played the role of a vicious thug, she was Wallace favored, even got a name, because she was Wallace's brilliance - a more human clone. So she would approach K in a language similar to pick up a conversation, and she would cry like a human between life and death when she killed the female lieutenant, but all of this was actually extremely weird. Just like the moment when she beat K at the end, she gave him a hard kiss, but said "I'm the best."
And Commander Gao's acting skills, needless to say, all the subtle touches, expressions and emotions are hidden in his eyes. Especially when the truth that he thought was broken several times, and the last sitting alone in the vast snow, made me feel as if through his eyes, I touched the real heart and real soul of the replicant K. The soul is probably something too vain. However, I also hope that when all the clones close their eyes, they can feel their consciousness flying away from all control, and hope that when they want, they can have a soul. When you think you are unique, you are the most unique being in the world.
